Did anyone else see Kyle and Joey on WWE?
Aside from making a pretty good enterance, it's obvious that they are not actors. Both Kyle and Joey had trouble keeping a straight face in their opening confrontation with Big Show and Chris Jerico.
Still funny though.
I did not see the whole thing. Kept flipping the channel around to other stuff.
funny stuff.
The following is an excerpt from an article on SceneDaily.com:
Jeff Gluck: Behind the scenes
with Kyle Busch, Joey Logano and the world of WWE
By Jeff Gluck - Associate Editor Wednesday, October 28, 2009
BUFFALO, N.Y. – Two of NASCAR’s most unflappable drivers were nervous, butterflies filling their stomachs and the anxiety of speaking to more than 16,000 screaming fans – and millions watching at home – weighing on their minds.
Kyle Busch and Joey Logano sat in a small locker room at the end of a hallway in the bowels of Buffalo’s HSBC Arena, just a couple doors down from the spacious clubhouse of the National Hockey League’s Buffalo Sabres.
Each had a script in their hands with passages marked in yellow highlighter, signifying their roles in World Wrestling Entertainment’s “Raw” show, of which they were preparing to guest-host.
The 19-year-old Logano suddenly looked up from the packet of paper in his hand.
“There’s like six pages of lines,” he said to Busch. “You gonna be able to remember all that?”
“No way,” Busch replied. “You?”
There seemed to be little optimism in the room that the show, which draws ratings comparable to or higher than most NASCAR races, would go well for the drivers. But the Joe Gibbs Racing teammates pressed forward, intent on embracing their jobs for the evening.
As part of an upcoming promotion at the Texas Nationwide Series race, Busch will run a car with “Raw” on the hood and Logano’s car will feature the rival WWE program “Smackdown!” It’s all designed to call attention to the release of a new wrestling video game called “WWE Smackdown! vs. Raw” (Gamestop is Logano’s Nationwide sponsor).
In keeping with the theme of the game, and wrestling tradition, the WWE writers split the drivers into good guy/bad guy roles. Busch, who has often been seen as NASCAR’s villain in the eyes of many fans, was appropriately assigned the bad guy role.
Still, there was the matter of how exactly to pull it off. Logano, when first given a draft of the script, had seen the amount he needed to memorize and said, “This is going to be an issue.”
“I can’t even remember my lines from a commercial when I have to say, ‘Whoa,’” he joked, referring to his oft-played ad for Sprint Cup sponsor The Home Depot.

What Lagano said about remembering his lines is why I think some commercials are better than the programs.
Butterflies we all get butterflies. Well except hankey, when he goes on stage in front of the millions.
the boys just looked out of place with the big guys from the wwe
I wonder what one of those wwe boys would look like trying to crawl in the window of the 18 car?
now thast a thought.
I can see the story line now, Kyle pisses off the Big Show and picks a fight with him. then runs away when the Big Show comes after him. hides half the show from him and then thinking the cost is clear runs to his car to make an excape. Big Show sees him and runs after. Kyle gets in the car and Big Show tries to get in after him. gets stuck in the window with his ass hanging out. enter Tripple H with a chair. he starts beating Big Shows ass with it. kyle sits in the far side of the car taunting Big Show with a camera in his face as HHH and Joye take turns with the chair. show fades out.
Funny Stuff.
