WWE News: Comedian Larry The Cable Guy To Guest Host Monday Night Raw

Last night on Monday Night Raw, the internet sensation Grumpy Cat guest hosted the three-hour wrestling program and made a few appearances through the duration of the show. Both segments consisted of a non-verbal communication between the cat and Miz and Damien Mizdow. The first segment talked about Miz wanting to do a movie with the cat, then the second segment consisted of Miz begging for the cat to play in the film.

Meanwhile, Mizdow is copying everything the Miz is saying, and he eventually brought a fake cat to give the cat a stunt double. The few times they appeared on-screen, it wasn’t as bad as originally expected. Miz and Mizdow carried the segment, as they should have. Overall, the Grumpy Cat did its job.

Apparently, the string of guest hosts isn’t stopping next week. As Wrestling News Source is reporting that a celebrity-comedian will be the guest host of Raw after Survivor Series.

“WWE announced on Monday night’s edition of Raw that comedian Larry the Cable Guy will be the guest star of next week’s broadcast.”

Anything is better than a cat, so the WWE’s attempt to get the people to watch Raw is a good one here. Larry is a very popular figure in the comedy community. Not only that, but he’s appeared in many movies over the last 10 years. He isn’t a cat and actually will contribute to the Raw broadcast.

Last night’s WWE Raw was a fantastic episode. The Grumpy Cat just took away from the broadcast a little bit. Tension occurred from the Dean Ambrose and Bray Wyatt epic promo and the Cat was the next segment. It’s like putting on a 5-star match, but then following up with a squash match. The fans won’t be interested.

WWE is a billion-dollar company and they aren’t succeeding without any just cause. The guest host thing cannot keep up though. Included in a list of former-Raw general managers are a slew of celebrities that made no contribution to the show. About a month ago, Kathy Lee and Hoda guest-hosted Raw. Their intent was fabulous, to raise awareness for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Yet, they were booed out of the building.

Without any doubt, the best host the WWE ever had was Hugh Jackman, who actually contributed to the show in a decent way. He punched Dolph Ziggler in the face, leading to a social media war thereafter. Ziggler helped make it happen, but Jackman threw the initial blow. We are six days away from Larry the Cable Guy hosting Raw and five days away from Survivor Series. I’m more excited for the latter, as should you.
