Monday Night Raw has gone through many changes over the years, and at one point in time the show had a new celebrity guest host every week.
The concept created some interesting, and awkward moments, and former WWE writer Brian Gewirtz recently discussed the concept on an episode of The Masked Man Show.
According to Gewirtz, Vince McMahon had high hopes for the idea as he described it as “like Saturday Night Live, only better.”
“Vince always shoots for the stars. You got to give him credit. When The Network came out, I think the phrase was ‘like Netflix, only better.’ Whoa! That is quite a bold claim. I think similarly when we were doing the guest host era, he said something backstage like, ‘This will be like Saturday Night Live, only better.’ And all of us are like, ‘No, this isn’t going to be,’ I mean, maybe the [Joe] Piscopo era before Eddie Murphy better? But I don’t think this is going to be better in any sense of the word.”
