WWE should bring in Manny Pacquiao as a guest host for RAW

His english isn't good enough to be a host on RAW.

Pac VS Rey mysterio would be great

His english isn't good enough to be a host on RAW.

He's also too small.

The E would certainly cast him like Seth Green and make him a "lil buddy".

This.

Manny has little or no charisma to an English speaking audience because he cannot effectively get a message across.

WWE use poor engoish speaking talent either as Heel or in a comedy role.

I heard there is a raw japanese wrestler that can't even speak english and a russian actually not fluent in speaking english. Pac speaks better english than those guys. Most people understand Pacs english than those Mayweather ****** accent.

well, a giant who doesn't speak english (or maybe, the WWE made him out like a monster who only speak foreign language Umaga is also an example. ) seems to be entertaining for the fans..then why not a midget who can speak english a little?Pac's gonna need an interpreter too though..

but the dude is boring as sin outside of the ring.... kinda the opposite of FM... what one does inside the ring is a 180 as compared to how they are outside the ring

With WWE announcing it's plans to continue bringing in celebrities and athletes as special guest hosts for Monday Night RAW, Manny Pacquiao should be at the top of their list.

WWE has been using the "guest host" as a marketing opportunity for celebrities to promote upcoming ventures. The collaborations with celebrities, wanting to promote their projects, has led to major mainstream media coverage for the WWE and the celebrities. It has been a win, win situation for both parties.

With a big fight coming up in a few months, and the filming of "Wapakman" with WWE superstar Dave Batista, Pacquiao would be a perfect fit. Because Pacquiao is a modest athlete it might cause some people to have concerns over whether he can be successful on the WWE stage. Those same people are overlooking the fact that Pacquiao is also an actor with the necessary skills to pull off an appearance on WWE RAW. Also, WWE has publicly stated their ability to create a show specifically for their host.

In an August 4th Business Week article, Stephanie McMahon, WWE's executive vice-president of creative development and operation, made the following statement "We have the ability to change our story line to suit whoever hosts." ...

If you don't believe that statement then just watch the latest episode of WWE RAW where Jeremy Piven hosted and promoted his movie "the Goods" for almost 2 hours... Knowing that the WWE will build a show around their "guest host" has to ease any concerns. But, also keep in mind the past history that the WWE has had with boxers.

Some of boxing's all-time biggest names have stepped into a WWE ring. Legends like Muhammad Ali, Joe Frasier, and Mike Tyson all had successful stints with the WWE. Most recently Floyd Mayweather Jr. was a part of the WWE and brought major mainstream attention for the WWE . And he walked away with a fat paycheck.

Let's review the facts.

* Pacquiao is a global icon
* Pacquiao has acting skills
* Pacquiao has some films and fights to promote
* WWE has a history of working with Boxers
* WWE has a current direction of bringing celebrities in as "guest hosts"
* WWE has stated they would mold the show around the "guest host"

To me, this sounds like a perfect opportunity for both parties. Pacquiao can promote his projects, reach another audience, and open doors for future endeavors after he retires. The WWE will get a major athlete (like they did with Shaquille O'Neal 2 weeks ago) to appear and bring huge attention. My friends, this is what we like to call "smart business"...

What makes you think they didn't trie to get him already? Batista knows him so you better believe they already ask him but the english of this midget Pacquiao is not good at all so he would be a terrible Raw guest host.
