All I have to add is that the dating game and WWE Idol were hilarious and achieved their primary objective; to entertain.
Simmons, Regal and Maria have been gold and Santino has been pure platinum gold.
Long may this entertainment continue!

Santino is finding the Rock/Kurt Angle way of getting over, and I love it. (Not getting over with fans as a generic babyface? Become a hilarious heel!)

Seems to me the gameshows are doing what they are meant to do:
- Santino is getting over as a heel. It may be a comedy heel, but at least the gurantees him a crowd reaction.
- Regal is getting tv time and doing what, imo, he does best in the WWE climate - be a mouthpiece.
- The overall aim of the segments seems to be setting up a fued of Ron Simmons/Santino, not sure is Farooq can still go, but im betting on us finding out at Summerslam.
- The Jillian singing thing seems to be building toward a fued with the ring announcer. She has an album coming out, so a future match and a bit of extra tv time can't hurt her sales, especially seen as she can actually sing.
The segments last about ten minutes and are probably more entertaining than seeing a squash match or a really long solo promo. I like them anyway.
On topic, i'd like to see him host a good english classic like Bullseye or Blockbusters.

They have to do a version of Hollywood Squares, just a matter of who to have in the game. Simmons, Marella and Foley should be involved, but dunno who the other 6 would be.

When it comes to dumb crap comedy segments on a wrestling show, yeah, I get a little negative. The Dating Game was one of the top 5 stupidest things I've ever seen, and I can't imagine ten minutes of "Haha, Jillian can't sing." was any better. Aren't you a Chikara fan? Isn't Chikara just one big Comedy fed mixed with wrestling. Don't get me wrong, I love chikara, I've seen every podcast. Back on topic, The answer is Whammy. Chikara is comedy, yes, but it all comes back to one thing: wrestling. They don't waste segments at a time on useless comedy skits to get horrible wrestlers over. The only "skit" they do regularly is the occasional Hydralock Challenge, and I'm relatively sure they don't even do that anymore. They do the funny in the ring, in the course of a match, not with idiotic game shows.

How about: Daivari, Hacksaw, Super Crazy, Mickie James, Cryme Tyme(in one square), and The Highlanders(in one square). The contestants could be Maria and Cody Rhodes(why not?)

Legends Of The Hidden Temple. GUTS. I would mark for Regal getting over how extreme the AGRO CRAG is.

If this were a Western, I'd suggest that WWE shot his pa.

Where is "jerk" anywhere in there?
