I'll always have a soft spot and love for wrestling mostly due to nostalgia. Still try to keep up with it every now and then but I can see why most new watchers think its stupid as shit especially with the current product. They need to to throw the whole guest host gimmick into a fire though. Nothing good has ever come out of it.

Shaq, Hugh Jackman, Bob Barker, and the Muppets' appearances alone validate the guest host era.

When Wrestling is great, it's the best show on Earth. I always love it when people like John Stewart are into it and you would never think they were fans. He gets it and he will be great.

His RAW spot was one of the better segments they have done in some time.

Its a shame though cause when they really care, they are capable of doing something great (Tyson, Mayweather, Rousey, Mr. T)

Even worse than Stewart hosting is Stardust wrestling a fake superhero for no real reason except to get a blip on E!

That's the only reason they ever have celebrities. It's not like they plan it good or bad to begin with. How good it is is largely based on the celebrity and how they fit. Arrow is in shape and loves the business. He will bust is ass and we will probably get a decent match out of it. Hell, Mayweather had no idea how to wrestle, but they carefully planned it out and practiced and it come out really well.

So not worth it
Stephen Amell is in tremendous shape, very athletic too.

Just him jumping over the top rope and beating on Stardust was hype as fuck. Probably the thing I'm looking forward to most at SummerSlam.

It's always interesting to see celebrities associating with wrestling. I mean between Jon Stewart and the actor from Arrow, it's an interesting dynamic.

Sunday's SummerSlam is already a star-studded affair: In addition to an appearance from Stewart, a title-vs.-title clash between Rollins and U.S. champ John Cena, and a much-anticipated throwdown between Brock Lesnar and the Undertaker, Arrow star Stephen Amell is in a tag-team match with Adrian Neville vs. Stardust and Wade Barrett.

The WWE flexes its considerable muscle.

After they shit themselves at Cena's merch dip, I can't take that title match seriously. I would be AMAZED if Rollins actually won :p

Ah, no way that'll happen. 16 time champion John Cena coming! Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

He might. All depends on how HHH feels about Cena tying Ric Flair's record.

King of Kings is Liquidsnake's only hope!

I know, right?

And he cut a better promo than 90% of the roster. I mean look, wrestling is dumb as fuck and goofy... but that doesn't mean it can't have moments of greatness.
