In a Business Week interview that likens WWE’s new celebrity guest hosting gimmick to Saturday Night Live, Stephanie McMahon teases other celebrities WWE is hoping to get into the ring.
According to McMahon, potential guests include Freddie Prinze, Jr (the actor and former WWE Creative Team member who would plug the eighth season of “24,” which starts in January), Bob Barker (the famed former “Price is Right” host) and the Reverend Al Sharpton.
Stephanie touted the show’s multiple promotional platforms–more than 5 million viewers each week for RAW, a website that does millions of impressions and the likelihood of garnering mainstream media attention as host–as beneficial for celebrities who wish to guest host RAW as a means of hyping their products.
Shaquille O’Neal, Jeremy Piven, Seth Green and ZZ Top have hosted the show this summer.
Good Job WWE on Raw. Let’s bring in celebrity guest hosts instead of having what wrestling fans really want to see. That is great wrestling action. I don’t remember them having to bring celebrities back when Stone Cold and The Rock were on. They would generate great ratings without a celebrity, and those two became huge stars. Even Triple H became big enough to do movies. Instead if wasting time on guest celebrities why not invest that time in creating new wrestling stars to carry on the WWE.
