10 Surprise Comeback Predictions For WWE Raw's 25 Year Celebration

Calling Bob Barker the best ever Monday Night Raw Guest Host might be damning the 'Price Is Right Icon' with faint praise, but he was at least a shining beacon of hope during a pathetically dull era for the flagship show.

The wretched concept was established following a mini-angle between Donald Trump and Vince McMahon that saw the latter sell the rights of the show to the future United States President. Upon buying the show 'back' from 'The Donald', Vince was required to adhere to a rule that permitted one celebrity a week the opportunity to come in and p*ss about with the wrestlers.

It was almost always abysmal.

Barker's stint was charmingly different. Hilariously improvising his way through 'The Price Is Raw' alongside Santino Marella, Jillian Hall, IRS (?!) and particularly Chris Jericho, Barker understood precisely how to work both the crowd and his oversized 'contestants'. Another go-around with the 94-year-old star would be a welcome edition to the three-hour celebration.
