When the WWE decided to make Al Sharpton a guest host for tonights Raw they had to hope he would be getting mainstream media attention.
Mission accomplished
Sharpton being the guest GM has been reported in most major newspapers and on TMZ.com. This is exactly what the WWE has wanted to happen with the guest hosts ever since Shaq hosting caused a media surge. Only time will tell what the ratings have to say.

If they want attention, then concentrate on Hollywood celebrities, not some politician.
