Several Important Names In Attendance At Last Week’s WWE SmackDown

Location, location, location. WWE SmackDown has been on the air for well over twenty two years now and the show has built up one heck of a reputation for itself. Above all else, the show has spent the last two plus years on the FOX network, which is as big of a wrestling television deal as it gets. People in the entertainment industry are paying a bit more attention to it as of late, and that was on display last week.
According to Deadline.com, several entertainment executives and stars were in attendance for last week’s SmackDown in Los Angeles, California. Here is a list of the executives and television/film personalities who were at the show last week:

• Kelly Kahl (President of CBS Entertainment)
• Matt Cherniss (Head of Development and Programming at Apple)
• Noah Harpster (Actor and Producer)
• Barry Poznick, (President of MGM Studios)
• Larry Jones (Executive Vice President of Fox Sports)
• Vanessa Hudgens (Actor)
• Jemele Hill (Sports Journalist)
• Reggie Bush (Analyst for Fox Sports, Retired NFL Running Back)

There is no word on any potential deals or collaboration with any of these names and WWE. The show featured an appearance by Brock Lesnar, as well as a triple threat match to determine the best team in WWE.

It was a stacked show. Check out some of the card:

Opinion: I’m not sure what this is going to mean for WWE, but having someone as big as the President of CBS Entertainment has to be worth at least a little bragging. Odds are this doesn’t mean much in the long run, but at least WWE is getting a little attention, which is more than they would have received not that very long ago. WWE has come a long way and some of their accomplishments are rather impressive.
