Raw is SCREW UP!!!! (guest host spoilers) How would you do it?
No, no, no, I'm not talking about how Denis Miller called Triple H "The Show."
So, let me see if I have this right... Earlier tonight Vince asked if the crowd was dead because of their lack of response (or something that that effect) and then later on they say the next guest host, when they're in Florida (at least I'm pretty sure they're in Florida), is hosted by a New York baseball player? In the book Controversy Creates Cash The Bisch says that the fans are watching three things. One wrestler (or team), the other wrestler (or team) and the live crowd. You would think that the man who revolutionized the entire fucking industry would understand this, right? The guy that says "if a wrestler trips over a camera cable it was meant to happen" (or something to that effect) books a guy from New York to host a Florida Raw, which will look like SHIT on live tv? If Denis Miller hosted Raw in LA, Chicago, or New York the fans would be off the hook. But, no, they did it in Fuck of all Texas. Hell, not even The Undertaker got a good response. So, Vince comes up to you, and says you get to book 10 guest hosts in 10 cities.... How would you book who, where, and why? I'll do my answers tomorrow morning when I'm slightly more with it, and a lot more sober. Quote:

They really just need to stop with all of these guest hosts. I'm becoming embarrassed to let people know that i watch wrestling anymore because of all the dumbasses they have week in and week out. If you are gonna have someone guest host a wrestling show at least pick people who have some knowledge of the business! For example, Mark Cuban = Good host. Jeremy Piven (Summerfest???), Dennis Miller (The Show? WTF) = Bad....

What other option did they have? Hire a Marlins player for the night? I think Damon will do a decent job. Then we get Timbaland next week, and hopefully The Rock on January 4th.

Yeah 450 this point is moot. Damon lives in that area IIRC and the Bosox and Yanks are huge there because of spring training and retired folks.

As stated, Damon will do fine. He may botch a few lines or two, but what host hasn't? We may even see him in action, but I doubt it since spring training is a few months away.

For those who want to pick the guest host based on the city RAW will actually be in, here they are (from http://www.wwe.com/schedules/events/):
1/11: Minneapolis, MN 1/18: Knoxville, TN 1/25: Columbus, OH 2/1: Nashville, TN 2/8: Lafayette, LA 2/15: Des Moines, IA 2/22: Indianapolis, IN 3/1: Oklahoma City, OK 3/8: No event scheduled ![]() 3/15: San Diego, CA 3/22: No event scheduled ![]() I'm going to assume this will stop a WM, but just in case it doesn't: 3/29: Phoenix, AZ I will get to mine later today. Hopefully I did not misread any of those. |

I think if they are gonna look at tna as any kind of threat they need bret hart for the Jan 4th episode. I dont know about you guys but picking between the live hogan's tna 3
hour show and seing bret hart in a wwe ring again would be a hard choice. |

If you're referring to the Rogers Centre (formerly the Skydome) it would be hard to fill regardless of ticket prices in fact I think they've only done RAW in there.

Yes I know thanks for the history lesson and so was Wrestlemania 6 which I'm sure even most fans know but look that's the WWE's biggest PPV not just a regular televised show.

First time in the wrestling forum in years but I heard about Damon hosting and was wondering if there was a topic on it.
Are they really letting him talk on the mic? As a Yankee fan I've heard him in a million interviews over the years and he is pretty terrible speaking wise. Like even normal conversation speaking he stutters constantly. Can't really imagine him hosting an event. |

They drew 41,000 for a Raw in 1999 but yeah even at the height of popularity they were still 30,000 short of a sellout.

Also apparently they had 74,000 at the old Exhibition Stadium in Toronto in 1986 for The Big Event.
