That Johnny Damon is so "Raw"


Alden Gonzalez of mlb.com reports that unemployed ex-Yankee, Johnny Damon hosted WWE's "Monday Night Raw" this Monday. For the uninitiated, this is a professional wrestling show.

He avoided any action in the ring though he was involved in some backstage skits.

In one instance, he apparently mistakenly found himself under a mistletoe with Santa Claus-dressed wrestler Sgt. Slaughter but Damon somehow got away but not before Slaughter told him "Don't ask, don't tell".

Still Damon soldiered on but committed another error (no DH on Raw) when he lingered under the mistletoe again and was blindsided by Mae Young, an 86 year old ex-wrestler who tackled him to the ground and engaged him in a liplock.

Look, I know that he has to pay the bills and all but he should just go sign with a team. Not only would he make a little more money but this other stuff would probably be considered sexual harassment in a major league baseball environment so he wouldn't have to worry about that.

Gainful employment really does wonders for the self-esteem.

Just ask Mickey Rourke.
