10 Things That WWE (Almost) Always Messes Up

7. Using Guests Properly On Television

From the very first WrestleMania to the most recent episodes of RAW, WWE has been using celebrity guests to help boost WWE€™s reputation and to gain more mainstream attention. Though at times celebrities have been used in the proper way, benefitting both the celebrity and the WWE, notably Mike Tyson€™s involvement in the Austin-Michaels feud, other instances have left WWE fans scratching their heads. On the October 6, 2014 episode of RAW, WWE provided us with a prime example of both good and bad use of guests. On the bad side, we have Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb wasting time in the ring trying (and failing) to be funny. It was one of the strangest and most useless segments in RAW history, as these two women hit gimmicked wine bottles on each other€™s butts. The boos were so loud that they had to play Adam Rose€™s music to drown them out. On the other hand, later on in the show, we heard from journalist Joan Lunden a cancer survivor, and the audience responded positively. Hers was a short, simple segment that got to the point quickly, while at the same time connecting with the audience properly. Though she wasn€™t involved much with respect to the WWE product itself, at least she got her point across and didn€™t really waste any time. WWE has fallen a long way from when Mike Tyson, Chuck Norris and Burt Reynolds were involved with pro wrestling. Nowadays they seem to have the €˜best we can get€™ mentality, instead of going for the top celebrities like they used to. Moreover, the Guest Host era was one of those times when they tried this, and that was met with mixed results. The best thing for them to do with guests is for them to do either a quick promo of no more than two minutes, or have them be ringside guests during a big match. Fans tune in to watch wrestlers wrestle, not celebrities waste time in the ring.
