Official Raw Guest Host thread

» Current plans call for “Stone Cold” Steve Austin to be the final Raw guest host on Mar. 15 when the show emanates from San Diego, thus ending an eight month initiative.

[Xero]

Finally.

[Juan]

Awesome

[Droford]

So no guest host for the final RAW before WM?

[Xero]

Maybe they'll go with a "chaos" angle, where no one's in charge and all hell is breaking loose.

Honestly it would be a good way to send it to Mania.

[thedamndest]

It only took 8 months to exhaust the Rolodex of D-List celebrities on a weekly basis. Good to know.

[Jeritron]

I wouldn't be suprised if they had Austin do something like enstate Bret as fulltime guest host (just until Mania)

I say this, because it makes sense for their build, and the Guest Hosts have as much power as the writing team wants them to anyways

[Xero]

They didn't get Kathy Griffin...

Teddy Long apparently has power over the RAW titles, which makes no sense.

[Droford]

And the next question is who is the permanent RAW GM? Bret? Vince? Austin? Abraham Washington? Norman Smiley?

holy hell..thats probably the stip on Cena/Batista. Bats wins and Vince is RAW GM, Cena wins and Bret is GM.

[Juan]

Makes just as much sense as a celebrity being in control of Raw

[Jeritron]

I could care less who has power over what. They're going to book what they're going to book. On screen authority figures are overdone. Whatever their jurisdiction is doesn't bother me, since it's coming from the booking team anyways

[Xero]

Who empowers these people anyway? Is it Vince? The Board of Directors?

[Jeritron]

They're empowered for ratings. It's the same reason why guys get into arguments about who DDTed whose wife, and why nobody ever gets arrested for hitting eachother with sledgehammers.
Why would the coward heels even show up to the events?

Once you start to apply motives and offscreen logic to the product, in any era, you're going to run into problems. It's absurdity

[Jeritron]

Goddamn that ring crew for leaving their cookie trays under the ring

[Jeritron]

He's being moved to NXT. It's part of SyFy's request to have more science fiction elements to the program

[Mr. C]

With William Regal on RAW again, he could be the General Manager.

Now that Michael Cole is on NXT, imagine a RAW after WrestleMania with Bret Hart as GM and King & JR as commentators.

[legendkillerRKO]

does this mean they cudnt work anything out with Rock? o well gives him more time for Tooth Fairy II

[el bobbo]

They didn't get Kathy Griffin...

You know they're reading us. Don't give them ideas.

[St. Jimmy]

Nooooooooo =/.

[Splaya]

And the next question is who is the permanent RAW GM? Bret? Vince? Austin? Abraham Washington? Norman Smiley?

holy hell..thats probably the stip on Cena/Batista. Bats wins and Vince is RAW GM, Cena wins and Bret is GM.

And the IWC would explode. Everyone would love Bret as GM but the thought of Cena as champion makes everyone but the 8-14 demographic want to commit suicide.

[Favre4Ever]

I was SURE that Carrot Top was going to eventually be involved in one of these.

[DaVe]

does this mean they cudnt work anything out with Rock? o well gives him more time for Tooth Fairy II

guess so, since he was only gonna be in a non-wrestling role

[Mr. Nerfect]

Yay! A shitty idea by the WWE is ending!

[Nicky Fives]

They didn't get Kathy Griffin...

I know?!?!?!?! She's F'n awesome...... and kinda hot.....

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Dule Hill for Raw GM

[kareru]

as a result of the GM guest host gimmick ending, the bella twins, santino marella, and others have been released from the WWE, we would like to wish them all the best of luck in all their future endeavors

[RVDmark]

So no guest host for the final RAW before WM?

Nope, Guest host time will be taken up with replays of the previous week's show, and WM adverts

Last years Raw before Mania was attrocious. NOTHING important happened and WM adverts were every 3 minutes.

[RVDmark]

With William Regal on RAW again, he could be the General Manager.

Now that Michael Cole is on NXT, imagine a RAW after WrestleMania with Bret Hart as GM and King & JR as commentators.

Also Hogan, Hall, Nash and Pac will be on the other channel.

Is everyone looking forward to the TNA invasion angle?:shifty:

[RVDmark]

does this mean they cudnt work anything out with Rock? o well gives him more time for Tooth Fairy II

guess so, since he was only gonna be in a non-wrestling role

I would Imagine that Rock will come back as GM / Commish type role. Just because they are ending the guest hosts doesn't mean they didnt work anything out.


I have mixed feelings about it ending. As a UK viewer a lot of the guest hosts have been a bit lame, but there have been some good guest hosts.

[RVDmark]

How is a robot announcing RAW?

Is Adamle back?!

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Shit, the Guest Host concept started on June 29. Just feels weird that it'd be happening that long.

Anyway, glad to see it...hope they finally put a proper GM in charge. My vote goes to Regal, who has always been brilliant in authority roles and I honestly don't see any other reason that they separated him from Zeke on another show.

But, as much as we all hated the guest host concept...hard to say it was a bad idea by WWE business-wise. They likely didn't even have to pay most of the hosts, because they wanted to promote a show or book or whatever. Free publicity both ways.</font>

[Krimzon7]

Maybe they'll go with a "chaos" angle, where no one's in charge and all hell is breaking loose.

Honestly it would be a good way to send it to Mania.


It would be a great way to head to Mania, and a even better way to start the new season with the Draft.

And a totally awesome way to kick off the summerslam angle with Mr. Dwayne Johnson being the semi permanant GM.

[Mr. C]

Stone Cold Steve Austin will host the show on March 15, and there’s no one scheduled for March 22. They’ve been pushing the hosts more and more into the background during the build to WrestleMania.

There are still plans for The Rock to return in a role sometime this summer, and there could be a General Manager assigned to RAW after WrestleMania.

Credit to both PWTorch.com and Wrestling Observer Newsletter

Austin being the last host makes sense. He’ll piss off Vince McMahon, leading to Vince ending it. The RAW before WrestleMania needs to be the sell for the Pay-Per-View; they don’t need a host in the way.

[Krimzon7]

:'( Thank you for validating me!

[DarKCentaur]

I hope Donald Trump doesn't sue Vince for breach of contract for ending the guest hosts... :shifty:

[Lock Jaw]

Ladies and Gentlemen, say hello to our NEW Raw General Manager....

http://americanglob.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Inanimate-Carbon-Rod.gif

[BillyBonez]

Okay before ya'all laugh at me, I first wanna say that I think that Taker will lose to HBK at Mania because its obv they are building it up.

BUT!

I also think it would be mad cool if WWE "retired" HBK and HBK became the new permanent RAW GM. I heard he got problems, so this will give him time to heal, while at the same time remaing on TV and making WWE money.

Also he was commisioner and was great at that.

What do u think?

[Favre4Ever]

"EXCUSE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[BillyBonez]

"EXCUSE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Good idea...IF WWE WANTS TO KILL THE RATINGS!

[theexample]

I'd like to see JBL come back and do it. He can attract heat and he's killer on the mic.

[Snowden]

If you throw him onscreen right after he gets retired (if so) on a permanent basis, it cheapens the whole thing...so...no. Unless its a farewell ceremony, I wouldn't want HBK on my screen for quite sometime.

[Damian Rey]

I agree. JBL would make an immense GM. It's also been nearly a year since we've seen him so it would have some shock to it if he just showed up.

Also, Billy. How is it obvious HBK's going to win. I don't see what you're seeing in the build.

[TheAdamEvansFan]

William Regal. One hell of a GM.

[TheAdamEvansFan]

Conan O'Brien.

[Lock Jaw]

THE LETHAL GM, STEVE BLACKMAN.

[Xero]

http://www.tpww.net/forums/picture.php?albumid=106&pictureid=706

[TheAdamEvansFan]

Conan O'Brien would be a huge draw!

[VSG]

Regal please!

[Mr. Nerfect]

William Regal is who I am hoping for. HBK is far from a bad idea, though. I think he'll want to spend some time at home with his family, though. Regal as evil GM again would be tremendous.

[Mr. C]

It would be cool if JBL became the General Manager.

[Wishbone]

JBL would be pretty cool althow I think a face RAW GM for once would be a nice change of pace

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I think Regal is pretty likely. I can't think of any other reason why they separated him from Zeke.</font>

[Fignuts]

Regal's abusive GM gimmick had so much potential. Probably could have won the world title. That's unlikely now that regal has 2 strikes, so I'm hoping for JBL.

[Storer50]

Regal for GM, sunshine

[Favre4Ever]

Foley.....again.

[Favre4Ever]

In all seriousness though, if they introduced the new GM of RAW and it was the Rock, I think I'd shit my pants.

[Fignuts]

Pretty sure the rock is way too busy to be on raw, even if it was only every other week.

[Brock]

JBL IS A GOOD IDEA.. But if paul heyman stil wants to work on wwe.. he is the BEST!

[TheAdamEvansFan]

The Rock will be GM around summer. We need a heel GM leading up to that.. Regal would be the best fit.

[seapig4]

Regal is the best gm raw ever had

[Mr. Nerfect]

If Regal had not been suspended, I'm pretty sure he would have been the RAW GM, King of the Ring and WWE Champion. He's only got himself to blame, sadly. I still think he could play a great authority figure role, though.

[Sixx]

If Regal had not been suspended, I'm pretty sure he would have been the RAW GM, King of the Ring and WWE Champion. He's only got himself to blame, sadly. I still think he could play a great authority figure role, though.

RAW GM, King of the Ring - ok. But for some reason I don't see him as the champion.

[Mr. Nerfect]

He was heading towards a WWE Title win, I feel. The way he was abusing his power, his finishing move was re-established, he was getting epic heat, etc. He was going over CM Punk, too, who held the MITB briefcase at the time, so he was looking pretty credible. Triple H was the WWE Champion, and I think he would have gladly dropped the title to Regal, given that he was the one who suggested moving Regal to RAW and pushing him.

I also suspect that his "unstoppable reign of tyranny" would have led to CM Punk cashing in Money in the Bank, and saving the fans from Regal's corrupt hold on the title.

[roach21]

I kind of liked Gorilla Monsoon as Prez/ Commissioner. GM should be more of an arbitrator and not necessarily heel or face in my opinion. Maybe one of the old timers (except for Dusty).

[Skippord]

CM Punk for Raw GM

[mrslackalack]

OH MY VINTAGE HBK AS GM LIVE ON MONDAY NIGHT RAW- Michael Cole

[TheHaunted]

Hopefully it's Regal, perfect man for the job.

[thedamndest]

It will probably just be Teddy Long.

[Jay p fury]

RAW GM, King of the Ring - ok. But for some reason I don't see him as the champion.

in my opinion, regal would have been a great WWE champion...i think he still can do it if he was given the right push.

[James Steele]

:love:

[NeanderCarl]

If he could stay sober (and cut his damn hair) then who would be a better evil GM than Jake Roberts?

[Swiss Ultimate]

Jake Robert's cannot stay sober. He also has transformed into one of the most incoherent and creepy old men in the world.

I say, bring in Norman Smiley to host Raw.

[Cuzziebro]

JBL would be pretty cool althow I think a face RAW GM for once would be a nice change of pace

Haven't almost every single one of the celebrity guest hosts been 'face' anyways?

[Sixx]

https://wiki.brown.edu/confluence/download/attachments/59639610/flav.jpg

This man. Let's see some crack-fueled ideas.

[Lavel]

Jake Robert's cannot stay sober. He also has transformed into one of the most incoherent and creepy old men in the world.

I say, bring in Norman Smiley to host Raw.

I agree Norman Smiley as GM could be good the fans loved him. It's probably never gonna happen though. Jake Roberts reminds me of the old guy in ur neighborhood that all the parents tell there kids never to reach into there pockets or even go near him.

[theexample]

Paul Bearer should be GM if JBL doesn't do it....

[Indifferent Clox]

Daniel Bryan

[NeanderCarl]

Johnny Polo, I say.

Or if they could get him (they can't), I'd love to see Jesse Ventura as permanent GM. Scratch that, I'd rather have him announce. Hell, I'd even take Lawler as GM as a compromise if they brought Jesse in to announce. Never gonna happen though.

[Xero]

Jesse as GM would be ridiculously amazing.

Throw a shit-ton of money at him and have him do it remotely via Skype, I don't care.

Same goes for his announcing.

[Mr. C]

I’d take Michael Cole as General Manager if they brought Joey Styles back to announce.

[Xero]

From PWInsider:

World Wrestling Entertainment announced today that WWE Hall of Famer and longtime Kane "nemesis" Pete Rose will be hosting the final Raw before Wrestlemania 26 on 3/22 in San Jose, California.

[Jordan]

There are some really ridiculous ideas in this thread... Polo? Cole? Paul Bearer? Jake Roberts? Are you fucking kidding me?

Yes JBL would be fantastic, but it's not going to happen.

I think ideally since Steve Austin is the last guest host he does a favor for one of his biggest rivals.

Austin would announce that if Bret Hart is able to beat Vince McMahon at Wrestlemania he will be the permanent General Manager of RAW.

It would make sense for Austin to do this because of his history with McMahon. Simple, and effective. Where is my check?

[The Jayman]

Will we see a Kane appearance on RAW

[Sixx]

$100000 on Cena.

[Mr. C]

Will we see a Rikishi appearance on RAW?

[Ermaximus]

:nono:

[Londoner]

Too bad they don't have kane on raw, fools.

[Mr. C]

Yeah, because that's stopped anybody from appearing on more than one show before. :roll:

[Theo Dious]

THAT'S PETE ROSE! THAT'S PETE ROSE!

[Xero]

THAT'S GOTTA BE... THAT'S GOTTA BE KANE!

[The Jayman]

PETE ROSE PLAYED FOR THE BIG RED MACHINE.....AND HE MET THE BIG RED MACHINE HERE TONIGHT

[Londoner]

Yeah, because that's stopped anybody from appearing on more than one show before. :roll:

How would they go about putting him there for one show though? Could have an MITB preview match i guess.

[Mr. C]

This stuff can’t go on forever, but how do they end it? Do they simply just phase it out and pretend it didn’t happen? Just announce that it’s coming to an end the night after WrestleMania? Have someone like Gary Busey do something crazy and have Vince McMahon come out and say no more hosts? How should they scrap it when they do?

They could bring in a General Manager.

[Fignuts]

HOW BOUT IT?

[Fignuts]

Um, the guest host thing is done after mania. Pete rose has just been announced as the last one.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[Supreme Olajuwon]

If only it was in Cincinnati instead of California. Oh well

[taker707]

Um, the guest host thing is done after mania. Pete rose has just been announced as the last one.

unfortuantly it doesnt say hes the last one . All i can say is somebody is getting tombstoned March 22

[Mr. C]

Rose is scheduled for March 22nd, but nowhere mentions that he's the final host.

[Droford]

Abraham Washington for RAW GM!

[Sixx]

Beth Phoenix looks a bit weird in your avatar.

[Jeritron]

Hey I left tickets for Billy Buckner but he couldn't bend over to pick em up......


HOW BOUT IT?!

[Favre4Ever]

The Pete Rose thing only works when no one knows it's coming.

[Favre4Ever]

Barack Obama appears as the final guest host and implements a permanent GM.

[Beth Phoenix Fan]

They should have Chuck Norris and Mr.T Co-Host raw

[TheAdamEvansFan]

Conan O'brien should be permanent Raw GM.. Maybe have Leno make him this in an announcement on his show. This would BRING ALOT OF RATINGS to WWE!!! Now in the sensible case, I'd say Regal as GM so he can play a mean heel up to the point where The Rock comes in this summer and throws his jabroni ass out of here!

[Perry Saturn]

They should have Chuck Norris and Mr.T Co-Host raw

The only problem with that idea is arena's all over the world would explode from the awesomeness

[VSG]

They bring in the Rock to stop the candy-asses from ruling Raw for good!

[Tb1]

LOL YES. I'm going to be at that RAW.

[Tyler Killer]

Kane comes out, Thombstones Pete Rose, Michael Cole " It's far to dangerous for Celebraties to host this show anymore."

PERIOD

[Fignuts]

Great use of the word "period", right there.

[Xero]

This is one of those angles where you wish they'd just completely randomly drop it and never speak of it again.

[Kane Knight]

Exploding limo.

[HBPunk]

id have all the previous guest hosts appear on the same night and they would all have a live sex celebration in the ring.soggy biscuit rules apply

[HBPunk]

Anyone see HIMYM when Barney did his one man play? Oh man classic swarls :)

[HBPunk]

Kane tombstones Pete Rose, Vince ends the hosting thing because of this, punishes Kane by taking him out of MITB, Kane gets a proper storyline finally and a newly bald Charles Montgomery Punk wins his 3rd MITB ladder match.

Easy peasy lemon titties

FACT : TOVO FACTS SUCK A FRESH COCK AND HE IS UNIQUE IN THAT HE COPIED MATT HARDY, WE SHOULD APPLAUD THIS GENIUS

[The Pope]

Kane comes out, Thombstones Pete Rose, Michael Cole " Ohhh Myyy, It's far to dangerous for Celebraties to host this show anymore."

[KIRA]

I just would no explaining no nothing...then I'd put Regal in charge again cause it was cool

when he was GM

[VSG]

Since when would JBL be "face" after his no-nonsense businessman gimmick? I prefer a heel GM on Raw frankly.

[Damian Rey]

Jesse as GM would be ridiculously amazing.

Throw a shit-ton of money at him and have him do it remotely via Skype, I don't care.

Same goes for his announcing.

Ventura was/still is gold. I doubt there's any chance he'd do it but if he signed on it would be immense. The possibilities:drool:

[south776]

Gillberg

[HBPunk]

Id end it by letting that chicken from Raw host it, WWE and their fucking shit comedy

[Mr. C]

They could just say, “Next week, the final guest host of RAW will be Pete Rose,” and then announce a new General Manager shortly thereafter. The next week, Abraham Washington comes out as the new General Manager.

[HBPunk]

They could just say, “Next week, the final guest host of RAW will be Pete Rose,” and then announce a new General Manager shortly thereafter. The next week, Abraham Lincoln comes out as the new General Manager.

Ah come on, thats absurd

[glanville6]

We got Vintage Pete Rose on March 22nd, so unfortunately Stone Cold won't end the run of Guest Hosts.

But, If I can be serious for a moment...

I'd like Lance Storm as a permanent GM. He has a lot of history with a lot of guys on the roster (Jericho, Christian, Edge, Regal, etc...) so there is background with people he can screw over or help out. And he is a heat machine. I know a lot of the PG era kids won't know him...but I think he'd get over with them.

I think JBL would be good, but I know he'd want to wrestle too. I think Storm can stay away from the ring.

[glanville6]

Exploding limo.

Only because Benoit was this dropped.

[Dante69]

Dixie Carter on the TitanTron saying that she is the new GM and that she has purchased the WWE.....LOL

[HBPunk]

Only because Benoit was this dropped.

Yet ANOTHER reason to hate the gap tooth, shit world title run, child murdering, no erection getting fuckface

[Big Fat Mike]

Jack Tunney

[Jordan]

Fucking idiots.

[DaVe]

lolol good quotes in this thread

loved the Rose-Kane segment at Mania 14. Thought the match following it wasn't bad either.

[TheAdamEvansFan]

Woah.. Hold the FUCK ON. Benoit was the best wrestler WCW/WWE has ever had, along side Eddie Guerrero. I'm a Criminal Justice Major, and the facts that have come out about the murder/suicide has made me believe it was a set up by her ex! They found a whine cooler next to Chris's body, yet, the toxicology reports showed that he had 0 in his body. He reportedly doesn't drink, yet his wife and ex, have a massive drinking issue. After he supposedly smothered his son and wife, he reportedly called and texted fellow wrestlers to wish them luck at the PPV and give them tips on their matches. Who does this after committing murder and supposedly being drunk and on Roid Rage? The garbage cans in the kitchen and bathroom were FULL of beer cans, yet again, nothing consumed by Chris Benoit.

Set up anyone?

You have Bret Hart-Vince McMahon stipulation if Hart wins, he’s General Manager, but if McMahon wins, Hart is gone.

Or after WrestleMania on RAW the following night, Hart announces the board of directors ruled a decision and says that he’s now the General Manager of RAW. Hart announces that Batista will have a rematch with John Cena at Extreme Rules and says that it will be a Last Man Standing Match. Jerry Lawler and Jim Ross hype the match.

I agree with Xero, but unless the guest host has something to promote, like Trish's new YogaStudios, then it won't be a wrestler... Every host has got something to promote, it's the whole reason they're on the show, fans or not...

So, what do you guys think about this news from the front page?

WWE announced today that Saturday Night Live cast members Will Forte and Kristen Wiig will bring their MacGruber co-star Ryan Phillippe to guest host Monday Night RAW when it emanates from East Rutherford, New Jersey on Apr. 19. MacGruber opens on Apr. 23 and also features a number of WWE Superstars such as Mark Henry and Montel Vontavious Porter. Jericho recently praised Wiig on his Twitter account, calling her “a dang genius and the funniest female (SNL) cast member of all time.”

[Jeritron]

They should return the favor by letting Jericho guest-host SNL

I'll be going to this show, so the smark in me is disappointed that the RAW guest host crap isn't over. But who cares, I'll have a blast. Maybe that guy from Beerfest will take a Pedigree of somethin...

Do you like guest hosts on Monday Night Raw and how involved should they be?
Thought Criss Angel sucked. Some nights we could do without one.

[Beth Phoenix Fan]

just the wwe legends

I wish the A.P.A would host raw together

[tjmidnight420]

From what I've heard the guest host bit is gonna be ending soon, I hope the last one comes out and appoints an "Ironclad GM" kinda like HBK's role as comissioner (He couldn't be fired.) Someone like Regal, but book him to have no respect for Vince since he can't be fired. Vince should also take some time off after Mania, or be booked to have no pull on the shows so he starts the corp. angle some were talking about with Bats. and McIntyre.

[bostonbill41]

I think its ridiculous the night after Wrestlemania we get somebody trying to promote a movie instead of a legend.

[HBPunk]

GUEST HOSTS ARE FUCKING HORRIBLE!

Nobody wants these fuckers here, i want heel Vince and thats it. i was talkin a while ago about Vince, Bats, Drew maybe Cody and others starting a new corporation, maybe even add The Hart Dynasty after WM. They could be pissed off cos Bret ignored them since his return, Vince gets them to beat down Bret on RAW after WM? Anyway if they must do guest hosts it should be Retired wrestlers or Celebrities who are known Wrestling fans - Freddie Prinze was good, maybe get Adam Sandler since he's a huge fan too

[The Pope]

This was a bad idea when I initially heard of it, and it continues to be a bad idea.

[dablackguy]

Its a mixed bag, some have been good - Shaq, Barker, Jesse V
Others have been terrible - Springer, /Criss Angel, Piven

I think you can basically tell who follows wrestling and who doesn't in terms of hosts. I think if they want it to work and fans to buy into it, have more legends. Hell, even wrestlers from the past that were significant but not legends would be ok.

[tjmidnight420]

This was a bad idea when I initially heard of it, and it continues to be a bad idea.

agreed. only a handful of the hosts were worth even being on the show, let alone hosting it.

What really annoys me when its a blatant promo for something on USA.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>There's at least one Guest Host topic every single week. Only a handful have been any good. Bob Barker was clearly the best. The rest have sucked.</font>

[bostonbill41]

That post has sealed your fate. Say goodbye to your sole green dot.

[Xero]

Seriously, almost everyone has the same opinion here, and it always comes up at least once a week, either as a topic or it's mentioned in a post.

Very few of the "celebrity" hosts have been good and the best ones have been actual wrestlers.

Xero my hero... Awesome... I enjoyed SCSA, Mr. Barker & Shaq... Shag & Jericho was badass... Vince needs to cut this shit out...

[Jakob Synn]

The guest hosts thing was great at the begining but when they kept stretching it on that's when it started to becoming stale. Especially with people who couldn't pull it off.

I understand it was more of a marketing ploy both for the WWE and the Host, but lets face it, some fell flat on their face fucking hard.

Though I was impressed with Jewel and her husband. I thought they were going to be lame, but they weren't. I mean they weren't great, but they weren't bad.

I'm just trying to think who was the worst? Jonny Damon or those 2 Nascar drivers. Oh my god, were they bad.

[Traiklin1982]

I have been enjoying the hosts. Some of them have been very good(Barker,Hart,Austin,Shaq)

[Traiklin1982]

Yeah Damon sucked. I also enjoyed the napalian guy hosting. Him coming out in flairs robe was funny as hell. They really dropped the ball with Chris Angel though. That could have been great. He could have even done a major trick in the ring or something. Plus hes in good eneough shape to maybe do a match.

The hosts withe experience with live crowds did well, while others failed. and I agree that the WWE dropped the ball with Chris Angel, he could have done so much more.

Actually I didn't think Springer was all that bad. I mean what did you really expect from him? He was better than Shatner.

[Jakob Synn]

Oh Springer!! How could I forget him! He was great. I loved the skit they did with him. It was lame, but it showed shades of a 14A era.

[HBPunk]

Perry Saturn and Moppy should host Raw

[Xero]

Moppy's dead.

[Jordan]

What is with the recent influx of 14 year olds?

Mania season.

This is PG WWE now. They are all finding the message boards they were never allowed to go on before.

[Mr. C]

I hope the board of directors appoints a General Manager like Bret Hart the night after WrestleMania.

Wonder if Vince is going to be there. It's because of Wayne Brady defeating Umaga that he had to have his head shaved at Wrestlemania 23.

Adam West needs to host RAW. That could truly be the best RAW ever. He’d need a bomb with a fuse that he could wheel around all night long, looking for a place to throw it and saying mental things. They could bring back Doink on the same show and have West mistake him for the Joker.

[The Franchise]

Don't forget the classic "TPWW" sign. :D

[Ermaximus]

Duly noted Franchise. When is the draft again? I want to know if it's before this show so I can know who to hate on. Totally getting those "We Hate Cena" shirts for the show also. Did you see them last night?

I will also be attending this show!!! Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!

Not a bad idea actually, although I see some sort of deal like that happening between him and Santino.

May 10, 2010: Flava Flav
Live from Pittsburgh, one of the wildest celebrity personalities stops in to guest host Raw. And if you’re not down with that, we’ve got two words for you: “Yeeaahh boooyeee!” There’s no telling what will happen when rapper and reality star Flava Flav takes the reigns of cable TV’s No. 1 show only two weeks before WWE Over the Limit.

Flava Flav is the host of the upcoming original television program Nine Tales: The Series, a new show will leave viewers stunned with fear, shock and amazement.

[AngryMidjit]

i really don't have a problem with celebrities appearing on raw, but to have it every fucking week and have them "in charge" and "hosting" is a terrible idea

[Ermaximus]

"YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!"

[Ruien]

Meh, it was bad at first when the show would revolve around them. Now it is usually just 1 or 2 segments with them, Cena says what a good match would be for the main event and they make it.

Plus, it gives Santino someone new to joke about everyweek. Where else would the midget appear?

[Hornicane]

So, I get to see John Lovitz. Cool? I guess it's better than Tila Tequila.

[Jura]

I think I read they started this shiznit on June 29 of last year so it should rightfully end on the 28th which is a Monday, with The Rock hosting.

[Fat Aaron]

i really don't have a problem with celebrities appearing on raw, but to have it every fucking week and have them "in charge" and "hosting" is a terrible idea

Couldn't agree more. What is the point of having a guest host when you only see them for 2 segments? And I didn't hate every guest host spot, but for crap's sake the Criss Angel spot alone was cringe inducing

[Ermaximus]

So, I get to see John Lovitz. Cool? I guess it's better than Tila Tequila.


That whore needs to stick to sucking cock for cash. It's about all she's good for. If she hosted Raw, I'm sure he'd some gayass Myspace battle royal or some shit where the winner becomes her new number 1 on Myspace. Whoppity fucking do!

[Jeritron]

They should get Andy Dick to have a shoot fight with Jon Lovitz on Raw. I think both of them would do it, and it would get WWE the type of attention they want from this kind of thing.
It would also be amazing.

Report: WWE Wants Tiger Woods To Host RAW
By Ryan Clark on Friday, April 16th, 2010 at 2:53 PM EST


WWE officials are reportedly looking to book golfer Tiger Woods to host the Jun. 7 Monday Night RAW taking place in Miami, Florida. However, few believe he will accept the offer.

The reports of WWE attempting to book Tiger Woods as guest host of RAW has garnered press amongst the golfing community as Golf Online published a story today concerning the reports.

Why wouldn't you reach for The Rock for this? Seeing as how it's in his hometown, he'd seriously fill that bitch. Plus he'd be way more entertaining than Tiger Woods. Besides, if Tiger hosts we'll simply get a ton of shitty skits with Tiger/Santino/Hornswoggle trying to bang all the divas. :shifty:

[Jakob Synn]

I'm excited for the lame MacGruber skits upcoming this week. Hopefully Will Forte and Kristen Wiig write their own materiel.

Or tickets.
