Codebreaker 08-17-2009 12:56 AM

Now, with Raw's guest host being mapped out until Wrestlemania....
 
I can safely say that Raw has gone off the deep end and never plans on returning.

Regis as Guest Host? Pete Wentz? Serena Williams? Al Sharpton?

Fuck.

Only one that I'm mildly interested in is Bob Barker, and that's to see if he's gonna use the Diva's as his beauties, and if he brings the plinko board with him.

Main event of that night will be Renamed to "The Showcase Showdown."

Good Lord. :nono: The names I bolded are pretty much all sure to be failures. And believe me or not, I actually, for some reason unbeknownst to me or another, I was actually thinking about how awful actors like DeVito (but especially him) would be...looks like nightmares really do come true...I hope they stop this shit after August 24th because it has been, for the most part, with the exception of Sarge hosting last week, just awful, and RAW deserves to just have a new GM named already.

If they bring in Devitio, I really want the other dudes from it's always sunny in philadelphia to do it too.

ron the dial 08-17-2009 01:12 AM

that would be the best raw ever if they did it in character

She weights as much as most of the wrestlers now days, so she could compete in a match.


I mean weights as much as the men, not the women.

It would not be that entertaining, though. Unlike with Shaq...

Skippord 08-17-2009 01:41 AM

lol Rachel Ray

Londoner 08-17-2009 01:43 AM

Ashton Kutcher could go either way, but no doubt even he would be better than Serena. Raw is just a circus these days.

True, but how about her teaming up with her lost at birth twin brother....Mark Henry...

Ah, what am I saying, I like Mark lately for the first time in years lately.

This really is an utterly pathetic attempt to boost ratings. Vince truly has no idea what fans of the WWE want.

FourFifty 08-17-2009 02:22 AM

If Rachel Ray is a guest host I will remove my Kane mask tattoo with a cheese grater.

Stickman 08-17-2009 02:26 AM

This guest host idea could be good in moderation, not every fucking week.

Sarge was awful, and his anti Canada stuff didn't insult me as a Canadian, it insulted me as a wrestling fan.

Pretty sure I'm going to watch even less wrestling now.

Londoner 08-17-2009 02:46 AM

If serena or anyone else just as pointless hosts and does a crap job, i may just give up raw for good till it sorts its stuff out.

IRodC 08-17-2009 02:52 AM

Pros:

MC Hammer coming out to U cant touch this will be memorable
Devito would be great if he comes with the entire sunny cast, in philly
Woody Harrelson is Woody Harrelson
Ozzy trying not to curse during PG raw

Cons:
Watching Jimmy Fallon struggle through his lines and laugh and look at the camera every single moment
Al Sharpton will just be teddy long with hair YA FEEL ME!


All in all its pretty hit or miss, Hopefully they sign New Jack for the Pete Wentz/Ashlee Simpson episode. Lets cross our fingers

owenbrown 08-17-2009 04:45 AM

Well this pretty much GUARANTEES that I will never watch RAW again

AJHayes 08-17-2009 09:25 AM

Regis I can understand. As he worked with Blassie in the past.

The rest, ugh.

Jesus Christ. There's no way I'll be watching Raw for long if this is true. I really don't want to endure another 7 months of this "Guest Host" bullshit.

Not only will we have to endure constant bombardment of blatant advertisements about whatever the celebrity is doing, but all the fans who aren't American or Canadian, will sometimes have to deal with an unknown "Celebrity" who we couldn't give a damn about to be honest.

Like I doubt all the European fans will be creaming there pants when they're told that LeBron James or Bob Barker will be the next Guest Host and so on.

Stating the obvious here, but SmackDown is clearly the better show these days. The quicker Vince gets his head out his ass and finds an actual GM for Raw, the better.

Xero 08-17-2009 09:47 AM

Kelly Ripa and Rachael Ray!? OH MY GOD, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH VINCE?!

LuigiD 08-17-2009 10:22 AM

Man...when I first heard of the guest host idea I admit I kind of liked it.
Mostly because I like the idea of seeing legends come back.
However..all those celebrities..that is just stupid. Then again..Vince is really taking the direction of the company to be more accessible to the general public it seems. Probably going to fail miserably or do very very well.

legendkillerRKO 08-17-2009 10:56 AM

you know you will all still watch so you can come on these boards and bitch about how bad the guest host was that week....come on guys....im not judging because thats most likely what ill be doing too! :D

What puzzles me is they're going in a more family friendly direction, right?

Batista makes sense. The kids love him. Even some of the choices like Seth Green kinda make sense, even if the kids don't know him directly (May or may not). I get that.

I just don't even know who Regis or Rachel Ray is supposed to draw in. Not within any audience WWE would generally court, anyway.

So is this real? I trust Ryan Clark about as far as I'd trust Crossrine with a bomb, a Quran, and a plane ticket.

Nark Order 08-17-2009 05:54 PM

lol, you're all going to watch RAW still. Shut up.

Seth82 08-17-2009 05:56 PM

ugh Rachel Ray :eek:

That woman's voice gets annoying real fast and what the fuck is she gonna do on show?

Whatever superstar cooks the better meal wins?

I'll probably watch the start of it to see how the show is going to turn out, then miss the rest of it. Some of these guest hosts are just ridiculous. Beyond ridiculous. Only watchin tonight for the return of HBK.

Vickie Guerrero, Part Two.

I still haven't watched a single Raw since they've started doing the guest hosts (not by choice, I'll start watching again next week), so I'll refrain from judgment for now, but I must say that it sounds absolutely fucking awful.

#1-norm-fan 08-17-2009 06:17 PM

A strange, fucked up part of me that I almost hate is starting to get into this whole guest hosting idea. It's pure entertainment value (Ideally... even if nights come along where the idea doesn't work.) Couldn't be further from Smackdown! right now. This is the closest we've come to actual rival forms of wrestling since 2001. I don't know. There's a charm to the idea that I'm starting to feel.

Not all of them have been so bad. Shaq was good, Seth Green was good, Million Dollar Man was great.

Wonderful idea no doubt, but some of these names being tossed around are just silly.

Anybody Thrilla 08-17-2009 06:20 PM

They're not competing. They're all in the same company, and they're not even on the same night. What are you even talking about?

Anybody Thrilla 08-17-2009 06:24 PM

THINGS THAT WILL HAPPEN WITH THE RAW GUEST HOSTS:

Al Sharpton:
* The Boogeyman, D'Lo Brown, Ahmed Johnson and 2 Cold Scorpio all get rehired
* MVP is granted infinite title shots

Rachael Ray:
* Mark Henry develops a huge crush. A woman that can cook? Perfect!

Ashton Kutcher:
* Ashton plays pranks on all of the wrestlers backstage, only to get the shit kicked out of him at the end of the night.


....actually, that Ashton one might not be too bad.

Loose Cannon 08-17-2009 06:24 PM

E Entertainment channel

Anybody Thrilla 08-17-2009 06:24 PM

Danny DeVito
* Hornswoggle gets a title shot, as Danny can relate to him

screech 08-17-2009 06:38 PM

Oh, and since I may not be in the RAW thread tonight I just wanna say:
