8 Wrestling Bloopers You Have To See

2. "SummerFest"

It's hard to argue against the idea that the prestige of SummerSlam has dramatically declined since its late '80s heyday. This hasn't been helped by people drafted in to promote the event not knowing its name.

Mired in a creative black hole in 2009, WWE resorted to their most desperate measure: celebrities. A host of vaguely famous faces were welcomed to Raw in a pitiful attempt to bask in their reflected relevance, but their presence mostly served to annoy rather entertain fans already turned off on the product.

One of the terrible guests to take the reigns of Raw was comedian Jeremy Piven, who had discovered a love for wrestling just as he had a movie out. Amongst his edicts that night was to ban The Miz from the upcoming "SummerFest."

That's right: SummerFest. You can see why celebrities are worth it with promotional work like that.
