10 Outrageous WWE Experiments That Failed

10. Constant Slew Of Raw Celebrity Guest Hosts

Dr. Phil's recent Monday Night Raw appearance won't be the last time WWE pull in outside celebrities to appear on the show. Vince McMahon has always enjoyed the idea of mixing mainstream entertainment with his own product, but sometimes it's handled very poorly. 

Just look at the celebrity 'Guest Hosts' for Raw from 2009-2010.

Looking to spark outside interest in what was happening on WWE programming, McMahon decided the best way to do that was to have various musicians, actors (and actresses) and TV stars converge on his flagship show. 

The resultant episodes were amongst the worst the promotion ever presented, and the celebrities were largely to blame.

A clear lack of product knowledge hampered proceedings. On the August 3, 2009 episode, Jeremy Piven couldn't even remember the name of SummerSlam, calling it 'Summer Fest' instead. Worse, NASCAR drivers like Kyle Busch and Joey Logano barely even came across as celebrities to most of the watching world. 

Having different 'celebrities' dominate portions of Raw each week actually served to hurt the show, not help it. Decent idea at first glance to use celebrity rub, yet seriously flawed in execution.
