Guest Host Calls The Experience A 'Disaster'

Actor Justin Long, who hosted WWE RAW on August 16th with "Going The Distance" co-stars Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day, tells MetroNews.ca that the experience was a disaster.

"In no way am I being self-deprecating when I say that was a disaster," Long said. "It was just not the audience to be promoting a movie like that to. We were so out of place. It was just awkward. They're all fired up to see guys pummeling each other, not to see three nerdy comedy guys do some bits. They played the trailer for this crowd and it just silenced them — and not in a good way."

Long continued, saying the crowd in Los Angeles looked like they were ready to attack him and his fellow co-hosts.

"We were in Los Angeles at the Staples Center, and the only time we really had the audience on our side was when we were praising the Lakers. And before that I think the majority of them were contemplating throwing things at us. There were a few homophobic remarks. I don't want to generalize it, I know some wrestling fans. But it's just not the audience."

Yeah... Well what the hell were they thinking? lol! It's not the WWE's fault the fans aren't hot, the reason they aren't hot is because they simply don't give a shit about your awful fucking film.

I think the movie will be real good, but yeah it has nothing to do with wrestling or wrestling fans.

Ah come on... NO ONE likes a blatent Shameless plug. Almost seems like they say to you 'We're here to waste your time, and in return... Watch our movie!'

That's the deal they had with WWE. They plug their movie, and in return WWE gets big name celebrities on Raw. That's how these things work. Even past hosts like Trish Stratus, who could have just hosted Raw for a one night return, was there to plug her yoga stuff.

Thats the problem with the guest host concept anyone outside the US barely has any idea who half the people they get on are. Like when they had NASCAR drivers its sort of yeah......i dont care.

Exactly. Justin Long, Nascar, that's big stuff in the US, and the shows that their hosting are taking place in the US. I remember when they went to the UK they got David Hasselhoff to host. Personally I can't stand David Hasselhoff, but it made sense because he's huge over there.

Besides. I don't see why so many people complain about the guests hosts anyway. There on tv what? 2 minutes? It's hardly anything to be upset about.
