I had never actually seen him perform, so whatever...
I do of course read results online, and what puts me off is how he enters as Vickies boyfriend (which as someone mentioned above was a terrible idea), but even worse was how, like three weeks later or something, they've split up and now feuding. Character overkill right there. |

Remember when he was almost on the Bragging Rights team, but then they were like 'uhhh, nevermind'?

Yeah, but do we have to compare McIntyre's progress to Escobar's right now?

I am surprised people miss him? I didn't like anything that was done with him. I don't think he had much persona either. Was he misused? perhaps...as previously suggested, I to agree that a lady's man would gain some serious heat.

Are guest hosts adding or removing ratings?
Ideally, having popular celebrities as guest hoses should just increase the ratings because people who know and like these celebrities should turn in to watch the WWE. But it seems that if u look at the ratings, it hasnt increased and also it seems that ratings are even going down since the guest hosts started. I think that guest hosts are actually removing ratings. Here is why. Look, if you are just some normal guy who doesnt watch wrestling but say, u are a big fan of Rob Zombie (for example) and one night he guest hosts Raw. However, its only advertised on Raw that Rob Zombie is hosting, u dont hear it on the internet or on the radio. So you dont know he is guest hosting and wont tune in. Now lets say ur a wrestling fan. U hate Rob Zombie, so you know he is hosting next week and you say, "sCrew it I have better things to do than to watch that D-bag". So ideally, Raw should have had +1 rating and -1 rating, equalling out and at a minimum should not lose ratings, but because most celebrities fans would not know that they host RAW and some may hate wrestling so much that they wont watch anyway, the fact is, we only get the -1 for each fan who says, "I aint watching". So I think the guest hosts are removing ratings. Now dont get me wrong, I like the guest hosts but I dont think its a good decision for the WWE to have because it isnt working like they thought it would. What do u guys think? |

Well atleast now the non-wrestling guest hosts have a much smaller role on tv than earlier, so WWE are adapting. Slowly.

Ratings always drop after WM. Depending on how popular the guest host is will depend on how many people they bring in. If they ever get Lebron (Which was reported he was going to come with Shaq), ratings would go crazy. We will have to at least wait for the NBA playoffs, or the Cavs to get eliminated before that happens though.
Although, ratings will not drop because the guest host is garbage. Not many people will be like "Ozzy Osborn is going to be on Raw, mess that I am not watching". Most people will just say how stupid it is and still watch (Since they are not watching for the guest host). |

maybe if they hired some big names they might increase ratings
if megan fox were to guest host the ratings would be through the roof but as it happens they like to get nascar dicks to do it or some crappy actors with a crappy movie to plug |

I have liked a few of the hosts and honestly it does make me want to tune in. I like to see what they do and how badly they do it. I like watching for name botches and bad acting. Personally, I hope it goes away and we get Regal back in charge before his ass gets fired....but for short term it isn't that bad. I'm sick of it reallly but that doesn't mean I don't pop in each week to see what kind of asses they are making of themselves.
so basically its a love hate relationship for me regarding the guest hosts. |

I actually think that TNA had much less of an effect on the ratings than people think. Most folks who watch TNA will stick with it, but a lot of them are wrestling fans in general who might rather watch Raw, hence the ratings with Impact lately. I don't think the guest host deal has done anything for the ratings, at least nothing good. It seems like the ratings have been doing a very slow one step forward and two steps back kind of thing for a real long time.

This is an empirical question. Look at the ratings before the Guest Hosts and look at the ratings now. Let us know what you find.

oh i forgot this thread wasn't about if you like the GM's or not. Sorry for my rant. And no, occasionally the ratings might be slightly adjusted if a cool person is hosting.
But on the whole it doesn't impress. that's what she said. |

Raw also clearly wasn't losing .7 or .8 most nights anyway. There may be an exception or two, but there was no correlation between Impact viewers and a decrease in Raw viewers. |

Haven't ratings been on a steady decline for years now?
And you can't just say "I think some poeple don't like the guest hosts, they must be hurting the ratings." You need to actually look at the ratings. |

I think that aside from January 4, when Bret Hart was Guest Host, every other Guest Host has really had no effect one way or the other in the ratings.

The recent guest hosts have either had no spark, no storyline or creative control, or just no talent.
Rumor has it that The Rock will come this summer to HIJACK the Guest Host role for a few weeks which would bring up ratings... But, if WWE got people like Conan O'Brien as guest host, then that'd be hot. |

The majority of WWE fans still prefer Raw over Smackdown, so I'm guessing that even though people complain every week about the guest hosts, they don't think it's that bad.

I don't really watch RAW anymore but the little bit that I have watched lately, the "guest hosts" haven't even done anything. If ratings are dropping it is because the product sucks, not because the average wrestling fan hates Jon Heder

That's because the average wrestling fan doesn't even know who 90% of the guest hosts even are.
