The year of the Raw guest hosts. What a dreary time for sports entertainment. While some of them may have been entertaining (Bob Barker springs to mind), most were abysmal and it was obvious they had very little knowledge of the show they were appearing on. Casual fans may have found the novelty amusing, but hardcore fans were turned off in droves. While WrestleMania XXV gave us the legendary Undertaker/Shawn Michaels match, it also gave us another Triple H battle with Randy Orton, as well as Orton vs. Cena Vol. 137, as if we needed more of those two. By 2009, DX had really worn out their welcome and instead of being the edgy, anti-authority figures the group was founded as they just seemed like middle-aged men pretending to be teenagers. If you were watching in 2009 and werent a fan of Hornswoggle, too d*mn bad, because dude was everywhere. He served as DXs mascot and feuded with Chavo Guerrero. This year WWE gave us the worst of their sophomoric humor, and the Kane-Khali feud, while not meant to be a part of that humor, was particularly laughable. Just an all-around rotten year.
