Raw's Guest Hosts Continue

Raw has already had Seth Green and ZZ Top as guest hosts.
The next two up....

NBA All-Star Shaquille O’Neal and Entourage star, Jeremy Piven.

Shaq will be showing up mainly because he has a new reality television program on the ABC Network that debuts on August 18th.
And on the show, Shaq challenges other sports stars to their respective sports.
Now how much of a stretch is it to think that we will see Shaq in the ring on Raw with someone like Kane?
Or at least maybe a set up for an episode of his show.

I don't really know why they chose Jeremy Piven.
I like him.
I have ever since he played Spence Kovak on "Ellen", remember that?
And I really liked him in "Smokin' Aces".
Hey, I LIKED that movie!
But why have him on Raw other than he's promoting his new movie"The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard"?

Another name that keeps getting brought up as a Raw guest host is, believe it or not, Hulk Hogan.
However, any mention of The Hulkster gets shot down by Vince.
Can you really blame him?
I mean it is his show and Vince and Hogan really don't seem to get along too well.
(Understatement)

Since they keep going with the guest hosts, here's my ideas.
I tried to keep them all wrestling related.

1. Mickey Rourke and/or Marisa Tomei
2. Jack Black
3. David Arquette (WCW tie-in, and what's he done lately?)
4. Rose McGowan (She was in "Ready to Rumble" and she has Red Sonja to promote)
5, Dwayne Johnson (You know...The Rock)

WWE: Kane, part 3


In 1999, Kane joined The Corporation. He eventually turned face after he was betrayed by Corporation member Chyna and thrown out of the stable. Shortly afterward, Kane formed a tag team with X-Pac. While teaming with X-Pac, Kane evolved from being mute to aided speech through an electrolarynx to speaking (albeit infrequently) unaided (with his first words being "suck it") and acquired a girlfriend, Tori. The tag team broke apart when X-Pac rejoined D-Generation X. In the course of their feud, Tori betrayed Kane and joined D-Generation X, and the former partners engaged in a lengthy feud that finally ended at WrestleMania 2000, where Kane triumphed over his former partner.

Shortly after WrestleMania, Kane suffered a hand injury that kept him out of action for a month. When he returned, it was to help The Undertaker and The Rock fight off the McMahon-Helmsley Faction. His involvement in this feud culminated in a main event match at King of the Ring 2000 against Vince and Shane McMahon, and then Champion Triple H. The Undertaker and Kane's rivalry resurfaced during the match, but they patched their relationship up soon after. Kane later turned heel once again by assaulting The Undertaker, leading to a match between the two at SummerSlam 2000. The match ended when The Undertaker removed Kane's mask, causing him to flee the ring, covering his face.

Kane stayed in contention for the WWF Championship for the remainder of the year, and ended 2000 in a feud with Chris Jericho ultimately losing to him in a last man standing match.
