25 Years Of WWE Raw Mistakes
9. 2009 - "Summerfest" (August 3rd)
Jeremy Piven's infamous malapropism was quickly brushed aside by an ever-ready John Cena, but there was no sweeping under the rug of the mess that was Monday Night Raw's Guest Host era.
A cancerous growth on the broadcast for over a year, the weekly rotation of celebrities in need of a plug was one of the more desperate efforts from Vince McMahon to attract eyes and mainstream attention to his flagship show.
The showbiz folk were only too happy to gobble up the television time in segments that were almost universally the worst on any given show. Piven "Summerfest" flub was embarrassing, but no more so than his worthless efforts elsewhere on the show alongside Ken Jeong.
Times have thankfully changed to render most of this garbage extinct. Piven got pyro, for example - WWE wouldn't chuck good money after bad on that anymore.
