WWE really misfired with having an American hero guest host in Canada for some reason? It should've been a prominent Canadian or at the very least, a local Toronto sports hero.

I'm pretty sure he was mildly inebriated. He may or may not have to blow into a brethalyzer to start his space shuttle. I think it may be alzheimers

Yep, It was made even more awkward by the fact they had him on when they were in Canada. I'm sorry but I'm sure Canadians couldn't care less about the US walking on the moon 40 years ago.

RANDY AND JACK ON THE MAT; WHAT'S BETTER THAN THAT?
...that line made me laugh so hard, because of how horribly dated and disjointed the rhythm was. Or something.

Thought the WHAT chants were uncalled for and disrespectful. I understand he wasn't really relevant to the crowd, but no need for that. Normally, I don't mind the "What?" chants... but that was one situation where they bugged me.

The main mistake I noticed, aside from his drunken state, was calling Evan Bourne Kevin Bourne, which you could barely hear over his music.

I'm kind of confused/amused at the "how dare they boo a historic figure/true American hero/elderly man" thing. Doesn't matter if you're Abraham Lincoln -- if you go out in front of a wrestling crowd that paid to see a wrestling show and you're clearly not in touch with the product, you're totally asking to be crucified. This isn't a commencement address or a Memorial Day parade. THESE ARE WRESTLING FANS. They wear dumb wrestling T-shirts and do crotch-chops and hold up misspelled signs and get in fights.
I guess I don't feel bad for Buzz Aldrin because he walked into maybe the one place in North America not counting a prison or a drug den where people are going to care the least that he's a space pioneer. Surely he has advisers who could have warned him about this, if upholding his image was really that important.

Not to mention it was in Canada AND he was the SECOND person to land on the moon. After Neil Armstrong, nobody who walked on the moon is considered important.

While I agree with this basic sentiment, in the sense that as a grown man, he (or his advisers) ought to have been aware of what he was getting in to....I have to say that I found his whole guest host stint uncomfortable to watch. It just....it was hard to sit there and watch as this out to lunch old man performed the equivalent of Letterman's "Stupid Pet Tricks" while the crowd ate him alive and mocked him relentlessly. It's one thing when you have an older person who's still sharp out there, like a Betty White or an Ed Asner or someone who still knows what day it is and where they're at. But to trot out someone like Aldrin, who obviously needs to be in a carefully controlled environment, and throw him to the wolves....that was hard to sit through.

This thread is like something an insane wizard crapped out in the 10th Dimension after eating green lightning bolts for forty years.
