Another cool guest host of Raw, the infamous William Shatner seemed to be having a blast on the show, something that has been true every time he has been involved with the wrestling world. It's probably fair to surmise that even if Shatner hadn't actually done anything else, he would have been memorable for just one backstage segment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9RDs_RZ5W4 Usually, when WWE announcers are laughing it sounds forced, and fans can tell that Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler and others don't really find what they're watching or listening to all that funny. That sure wasn't the case when William Shatner was 'singing' the entrance themes of various WWE superstars, in a manner only the former Star Trek star could get away with. Indeed, 'Captain Kirk was in full flow here', imitating the music of wrestlers such as Rey Mysterio, Shawn Michaels and Triple H. With a serious expression plastered all over his face, Shatner had fans and WWE staff alike enraptured in what he was doing, it was bizarre yet somehow utterly hilarious.
