Remembering Meat Loaf: When the Legend Guest Hosted WWE Raw

Late American Singer and actor, Michael Lee Aday aka Meat Loaf, once hosted WWE Raw in 2010. He came to the show as a guest host and had an interaction with Randy Orton which didn’t end well for him.

The show started with Orton’s segment. The Viper opened the show but soon afterwards Meat Loaf came out to the ring and informed The Viper that his new album ‘Hang Cool Teddy Bear’ released the same day. He wanted Orton to use one of the songs as his entrance music and even sang a few lines as well.

Unfortunately, The Legend Killer didn’t take too kindly to the offer and RKO’d him. He was unconscious for the rest of the segment. Flavor Flav made an appearance at the same episode as well.

His appearance at WWE was rather well-received by the audience. WWE bringing in celebrities from other industries for guest appearances is something that happens frequently. This appearance had the audience popping with extreme energy and hype.
