If I can see Nightman vs Dayman on RAW, I will never question anything WWE does ever again.

It's like watching a really long "the rise and fall of WWF/E" DVD week in and week out....

The only person that should remotely be happy about this is Santino because it keeps him employed for another 8 months as comic relief to the guest hosts.

Vince seriously needs to get off the crack pipe and step down, the guy is so out of touch with people today its not even funny. Does he actually think bringing in these arseholes increases ratings? Whats his thought process? "hmm raws ratings are way down, time to bring in some condescending cunt who will say he\she loves wrestling but has never seen seen a match in his\her life, he\she can "host" and be in 3 segments totalling 5 minutes of air time, clearly this plan of action will boost ratings, not putting actual thought into storylines.
Fucking idiot, retire Vince you lost the plot years ago, only way you could compete with wcw was by ripping off ecw and copying the nwo you silly old codger. Only thing you're good at these days is rehashing the same old shite and walking like you just shit yourself. |

I have no problem at all with Guest Hosts in principle. It's different, it keeps the show fresh from week to week (each show has a different backbone) and some of them haven't done a bad job. Shaq was entertaining, Prinze was okay, Seth wasn't bad either...
They just need to refrain from over-shilling (Jeremy Piven was excruciating), bring in people who actually provide mass interest (I guess Piven did this, in a way), and people who are at least somewhat familiar with the product or - at the very least - don't look like they're only there to push their latest project, even if in reality they are. (Piven, again, I'm looking at you...) Also, they need to find a balance between celebrities and wrestling personalities. I'd like to see them alternate each week or at least balance it out 50/50. Establishing Raw as an alternative for the usual celeb product plugging circuit (late night talk shows, daytime shows etc) is a great idea from a marketing perspective, and whatever you want to say about Vince McMahon, he truly is a marketing genius. The better integrated into the product the celebs become, the bigger the names that will show up. This can only be good for the visibility and mainstream crossover of WWE and its wrestlers. They just need to refrain from using Z-list celebrities just for the sake of cramming a 'star' onto each show. For example, if the best name they can come up with one week is Rachel Ray (who?) then give Hulk Hogan a call instead. Utilising non-entity celebs will only have an adverse effect on the proceedings, and pigeonhole Raw as a Z-list kinda show. Stick to big name celebs, and if for whatever reason you cannot find a big name in any given week, call Eric Bischoff, call Stone Cold, call Heyman, call Ultimate Warrior, call Todd Pettengill, call Sean Mooney... hell, call Randy Savage! Yeah, yeah, I know... Vince, in his usual egoMcMahoniacal fashion, will oversaturate the celeb concept until it's dead in the water by promoting useless non-entities... so those who don't care for the idea needn't get too upset about it; it will go the way of all Vince's other failures by the time that dude who cried to leave Britney Spears alone shows up as host.

They also need to ensure that celebrities are promoted each week to complement the WWE and it's ongoing storylines, not at the detriment of them. A Guest Host is the axis of the show; that show needs to serve a purpose. That purpose needs to be mainly to advertise the WWE, its storylines and its upcoming events. This can be done whilst still giving a shout out to the Guest Host's current project, but the latter should never be at the expense of the former.
When the WWE learns how to create this balance, and not drop its knickers at the prospect of having "real stars" show up, then they're onto something good. In the "WWE Universe", and in the presentation of its weekly shows, the WWE wrestlers should be presented as equal or better than any celebrity who shows up, lest they look second rate. The company and its "Superstars" fawning over the has-been likes of MC Hammer just doesn't achieve this at all. |

They also mustn't make the guest host make a lumberjack match cause they hate orton and then have them cheer orton and take his side during a match...makes the host look abit stupid!

Next time they're in Green Bay they should get Brett Favre as host.
