I remember on one of those Legends of Wrestling episodes and Michael Hayes just buried the shit out of Al Sharpton. HHH was also upset too. Apparently Al just showed up to the arena just in time for his segment at the beginning of the show and after that, he just left. Makes me wonder what would have happened if he was late and couldn’t make the show at the last minute other than the obvious. Well, at least there wasn’t any bad segments involving him. But, I’m pretty sure the segments that would’ve replaced the host segments were just as bad.

I’m still absolutely puzzled as to why Buzz Aldrin was a guest host in Canada. We love Buzz here in Canada as much as anyone but as far as American icons go, Buzz is pretty high on the list.

I vaguely remember a weird segment where two middle-aged women from a talk show spoke absolute bollocks in the ring and then broke wine glasses on each others arse for some reason.
Also, was this a dream or did WWE once have a Jack Nicholson lookalike instead of Jack Nicholson guest host because they couldn't get Jack Nicholson. I wanna say that was the same Raw where they had a woman chase a man in a tiger costume with a golf club.

Didn't MacGruber blow up R-Truth? Yeah but he has the same powers that helped Rey recover from Seth removing his eye and Corbin throwing Rey off a building to his death

Jackman was awesome because he understood the assignment and seemed like he was having a blast At his heart he's a dork, and a big theater guy, of course he's gonna give it his all. He got to perform in front of thousands, and nobody would tell him "Don't look like you're having fun." He also came back and Sandow dressed as Magneto.

WWE thought that since the Today show fans (which includes a lot of New Yorkers) would love the two. They for the most part booed them. Regis Philbin would have made a great host.

Regis Philbin would have made a great host. And he was actually a fan, so crazy they didn't use him more often. Same for Burt Reynolds.

He had a fish in his tights. Also, let us not forget the Old Age Outlaws trying to slip Betty White a roofie.

I say it all the time whenever the topic of WWE and celebrity interactions are mentioned, but it remains true: WWE likes to bag on WCW for having David Arquette as their champion or having Jay Leno in a main event tag team match, but if any of the Raw guest hosts ever said they wondered what it would feel like to be WWE Champion for a night, you know Vince or whoever absolutely would've said, "Sorry Sheamus, but you're laying down for Jon Heder tonight."

The Raw with the tiger costume was the same one as Little People's Court. Truly a phantasmagorical time in WWE.

Again, people wonder why WWE fans are so into the current product for merely being decent. 2024 fans smell like smoke because they went through 2009 fire.

As much as I'd argue there were moments that were more boring to watch later around 2012-2015, 2009-2010 Raw was peak impossible to watch with casual fans/non-fans from the sheer frequency of embarrassing promo segments. I had the misfortune of having friends over and trying to put on Raw either the night of Little People's Court or the next week when I'm pretty sure they replayed the whole segment in its entirety.

Little People's Court! WWE were so proud of that, didn't they play it TWICE on the same show?

(Vince went on an ego trip with Enos that he couldn’t do RAW in Denver as scheduled because the Nuggets were in the NBA playoffs.) That Raw was mainly notorious for being Mr. Kennedy’s last WWE appearance after dropping Randy Orton on his head and this board losing its shit over Batista coming out with a basketball. The lady and tiger was a RAW late that year when Johnny Damon of the Red Sox hosted.

Vince did a segment with someone dressed as one of the club's owners and made a joke how his name sounded like Penis.

Another exceedingly stupid part of the Guest Host Era was that they would bring in these sports stars - and have them host Raw NOT in their team's cities.
In case you weren't aware, sports fans are exceedingly provincial. So why then would they decide to have Shaquille O'Neal (then of the Cleveland Cavaliers) host Raw in Washington, D.C., when the Cavaliers had eliminated the Wizards from the playoffs in three of the last four years? Or Johnny Damon (then of the New York Yankees) hosting Raw in Tampa, the home of the Yankees' divisional rival Rays? Or famed Cincinnati Red Pete Rose hosting in San Jose, a stone's throw from the Bay Area?

Also, unless I’m mistaken, Shaq did get a good reaction in Eashington because he’s Shaq.
