Bret Hart is a "good pick" for guest host, if there has to be guest hosts. Much like when it first started I was a fan of Ted Dibiase, Dusty Rhodes & Sgt. Slaughter guest hosting. But that's just the wrestling mark in me. Because I know that at least legends will know the product and the names of the wrestlers. I stopped watching before I got a chance to see Roddy Piper & Jesse Ventura though.

I will admit I got a little more confidence when I learned that Sheamus did NOT just drop the title right back to Cena within a 2 week period. That gives me a shred of hope that he will at least hold it til the Rumble.

But fundamentally, Bret Hart hosting is just going to be the same shit. Since DX is going to be the focus, Santino Marella will probably do a tasteless joke of dressing up as Owen Hart, and Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels can do an ultra corny kid friendly burying of the hatchet as they help each other deject Jeri-Show from the ring just like every guest host does.

They could do the edgey, controversial thing where Bret books DX Vs. Hart Dynasty in a rematch for the tag titles, Hart comes out and makes the referee ring the bell and does a Montreal Screwjob against HBK while Tyson Kidd has him in a sharpshooter, thus awarding the belts to the Hart Dynasty.

But heaven forbid DX ever look weak for one second, and heaven forbid that the kids ever have to go home without a happy ending. So I doubt it will ever happen.

The reason I'm going to pick RAW over TNA is because the same reason I don't watch TNA in the first place. Regardless of the immense amount of talent they have on their roster, they don't know how to put together a decent wrestling show. Every time I've tried to watch TNA over the past six months, the shows have come off of bush league. They don't know how to properly utilize the talent they have, and the backstage skits are atrocious.
The last episode I actually watched was the one where they had that #1 contender's tournament where guys from different divisions were all thrown in together, and whoever won got the title shot for their respective division. All the matches felt rushed, and in particular, having both second round matches end by DQ or count-out really ruined the sense of acheivement the eventual winner would receive. Also, booking a tourney that had the likes of Desmond Wolfe and Kurt Angle in it to come down to Robert Roode and Bobby Lashley is just insulting.
On the same program, they had AJ Styles come out to cut a promo, and before it even got anywhere, Christopher Daniels came out, delivered a promo of his own, and then AJ said one line and it was over. It was a total rush job, and did nothing to put their champion over.
Bottom line, even at it's worst, RAW is still better than the drivel TNA puts out. Adding Hulk Hogan won't write the wrongs of TNA, it'll only make things worse. Also, Bret Hart is my second favorite wrestler of all time, so that can only help RAW's cause.

Only way TNA would stand a chance is if TNA busts out Jeff Hardy at about 8:55 pm EST. Then I would say we have a Monday Night War.

Jeff Hardy > Hulk Hogan, Kurt Angle, Sting, Jeff Jarrett, Kevin ★★★★, Scott Hall, X-Pac.

Hogan has TNA fooled he's in on an inside job with Vince. He gets TNA and hands Vince the keys. I would love to Shane pop up on IMPACT

Yes, because Hogan and Vince have always been on the best of terms, and TNA is such a threat to Vince too.

On a totally related topic, Elvis and JFK are both still alive and living in my basement.
