Hmmm....















Tacos Rule!

[Anybody Thrilla]

Tell me this isn't happening.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Meh, not too bothered by it. It was pretty clear they were gonna be bringing in non-wrestling related people for this eventually, and I wasn't expecting Vince to go all out to get A-listers.</font> :o

[Londoner]

LOL

[Seth82]

Seth Green hasn't been relevant for 10 yrs since he had that bit part in Austin Powers

[Rob]

They could have done a lot worse.

[Seth82]

True they could have

Knowing Vince I woulda guessed it woulda been Kevin Federline who never was relevant besides being Mr Britney Spears

[Nark Order]

Well, to be fair... Everyone I know my age absolutely fucking loves Seth Green. Looks like they may be catering to the 18-25 demographic this week.

What are you talking about, Robot Chicken is the best work he's ever done. Not to mention he does the voicework on one of the arguably most popular cartoons in America atm.

Might tune in to see what kind of nonsense ensues.

[kareru]

guys, this might actually be good

[Kane Knight]

They could have done a lot worse.

I half expected a Donald Trump midget or something to that effect.

well seth green is a midget

[CSL]

I hope Johnny Drama shows up and beats the piss out of him

[kareru]

i hope mila kunis shows up and gets naked

[Xero]

They could have done a lot worse.

Could have done a lot better, too.

[Volare]

Adam Sandler I think could be hillarious as hell.

[The Pope]

I think it's donald trump

[ministrychick77]

i'm half expecting to see david arquette sometime soon..

not that i'm complaining... i just dont know if he's gonna bring anything entertaining or not.

still gonna watch though.

[thedamndest]

Narc, you need some new friends.

[Nicky Fives]

I am begging for a cameo appearance by Greg The Bunny.....

[Xero]

Am I crazy for feeling that they should be using former wrestlers in this and not completely random celebrities?

[ministrychick77]

no xero, you're not.

but this is wwe we're talking about. they dont usually do things that make sense..

[TSI]

i love seth green but this is a little silly to say the least

[Nark Order]

Narc, you need some new friends.

You don't like him so nobody in the world should or does like him. Yeah, I get it.

[Nark Order]

Am I crazy for feeling that they should be using former wrestlers in this and not completely random celebrities?

Well, I think they said from the beginning that they would be doing both.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

There's nothing wrong with Seth Green, but as the first celebrity host? Seems like a pretty lackluster tone to set for this concept.

[thedamndest]

I didn't say I didn't like him. I just think "absolutely fucking loves Seth Green" is a pretty extreme statement to be throwing around. I'm sure your friends are actually very lovely people.

[Dave Youell]

He looks like the kind of guy who'd be a wrestling fan,

Hopeful he can be half decent.

Can't be any worse than that black cancer patient kid that Foley got to do the job once

[Xero]

lol I remember thinking they were going to turn that into a heel angle.

[Nark Order]

I didn't say I didn't like him. I just think "absolutely fucking loves Seth Green" is a pretty extreme statement to be throwing around. I'm sure your friends are actually very lovely people.

I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

[Xero]

You're all brainwashed.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I mean this is a brand new concept that is supposed to entice people to tune in. I'm sorry but Seth Green is not enticing anybody to do anything.

Seth Green is a good choice for later down the road after you've already had a number of successful shows and drawn a larger audience and people will say "ok he's kinda interesting so I will continue to tune in." But he's not a guy that's going to make people tune in who otherwise wouldn't.

[Nark Order]

So the media portrayal and the roles that Seth Green plays have conditioned you all to hate him. THINK FOR YOUR FUCKING SELVES! YOU'RE ALL BRAINWASHED.

[Juan]

Seth Green, nice. I'm looking forward to it.

[#1-norm-fan]

LOL. Well Vince had surprised me at least. I seriously thought they would go the Kevin Federline-type route when it came time to actually go with some "celebrities." This is a fine coo, IMO. He's definitely not a bottom of the barrel celebrity and the younger crowd for the most part actually enjoys his work. Good job WWE. :y:

Definitely has me looking forward to Raw.

[St. Jimmy]

I hope Seth eats an RKO.

[ClockShot]

Seth Green. As much as I like the guy, he's got nothing better to do?

I sure hope that Mass Effect 2 is ready then. If not, he better get his ass back in the studio.

[#1-norm-fan]

Seth Green. As much as I like the guy, he's got nothing better to do?

My thoughts exactly. Which is why I think this is a great coo for WWE.

It's like if Tom Cruise were announced as the guest host. Everyone would be like "WHAT!?!? He's got NOTHING better to do!?!?"

Obviously an extreme comparison but if someone like Kevin Federline or Kato Kaelin or John Bobbitt were hosting, no one would be like "He has nothing better to do!?!?!"

So again, good job, Vince. I applaud you. :y:

[James Steele]

I think this will be interesting considering Family Guy and Robot Chicken are very popular among the "forgotten demographic" in WWE.

[road doggy dogg]

coo

[Droford]

Has Robot Chicken ever done a Wrestling parody?

edit..LOL Hulk Hogans' Heroes.

[Chavo Classic]

Which is why I think this is a great coo for WWE.

Excuse me? A What? Oh dear lord...

[Juan]

[Chavo Classic]

As long as they have the Robot Chicken soundtrack for his Titon-tron entrance and music, it's all good.

lol

[#1-norm-fan]

Who ever needs to spell the word "coo"? Honestly. Fuck it. One misspelled word in ten years. lol

[DAMN iNATOR]

Man, after what DiBiase said about Dusty last week I was fully expecting to see "The American Dream" host RAW this week. Now my dreams have been crushed.:(

I do hope they stick around after WM XXVI in Phoenix, AZ for the whole week of tapings as they have done in the past as it would open the door for a one time special host who lives in the area...

<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/rg9lgAl0sTA&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/rg9lgAl0sTA&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

But IF they ever let him Guest Host, that would be the ideal time to do so (the night after Mania), otherwise I'll probably just be like "MEH"...

[Seth82]

That'd be kinda cool to see The Bisch host RAW again if only for one night

[KayfabeMan]

Maybe WWE used former SD! 'writer' Freddie Prinze Jr. for a 'Hollywood' connection.

Seth is a good friend of Sarah Michelle Gellar's since back on BTVS. She has even done a number of voice spots for Robot Chicken, and I think Freddie may have even been on an episode [but I may be wrong about him]. So I'm sure they used him to obtain Seth Green or Seth wanted to promote some of his shit and Freddie got him hooked up to do WWE.

Just a possibility. Although now that I mention it, some internet writer will pick it up and report it as fact :shifty:

[DAMN iNATOR]

I would laugh if one night they went with naked mideon...fanny pack and all.:shifty:

[Volare]

Honestly, WWE should try to talk to Dana White and see if they can get Brock Lesnar. Think about it, you have the UFC Champion back with the program that started it all, and UFC could grab more fanfare from the wrestling community that they don't have.

[Afterlife]

I think this will be very interesting.
