10 Wrestling Moments Nobody Wanted (But EVERYONE Liked)

10. Bob Barker As Raw Guest Host

Let’s be honest about something: WWE's guest host idea on Raw was logical from a PR standpoint, but sucked in execution. Too many of the celebrity guests clearly knew nothing about the product, so the running bit became a negative for the flagship more than a positive. Some hosts soared though, and ol’ Bob was the best of the bunch.

His chemistry with Chris Jericho was immediate.

Everyone got a kick out of seeing Barker embrace the role rather than act like some incoming fish out of water. His performance on the 7 September 2009 edition is treasured for a reason. Bob channelled the same spirit he'd shown opposite Adam Sandler in Happy Gilmore here, and people loved it.

Jericho was having a merry time too. His stoic heel character was ideal foil for Barker's well-meaning-but-grumpy old man routine, and the pair lit up the episode as a double act. This was something no wrestling fan knew they wanted going in.
