#3 Jerry Springer

Not the Jerry we want to see on WWE
Not the Jerry we want to see on WWE

The legendary Jerry Springer made two appearances on WWE RAW, and both were overwhelmingly awkward.

His first was in 2010, where he appeared in a parody of his own show. Guest Kelly Kelly claimed she was pregnant, which resulted in several superstars including Santino Marella, Jerry Lawler, Michael Cole, Chris Masters, and The Great Khali all coming out to claim that they were the father.

The Bella Twins and Eve Torres then got involved, making accusations and bad jokes. It was then revealed that the real father was, of course, Hornswoggle.

Jerry left the ring because he had too much of the craziness involved with all of these superstars. As he was leaving, Jerry Lawler told him that it was all a charade they all put together to mess with him.

The revelation, like much of the segment, received no crowd reaction. The entire thing was incredibly awkward, and everyone's acting - particularly Kelly's, was horrendous.

Jerry Springer returned in 2014 for another atrocious segment. Much like four years earlier, Jerry played the part of himself just fine, but the acting from the WWE players was awful.

The Bella Twins returned for this more serious segment, as it occurred just weeks after Nikki turned heel on Brie. This was one of the worst acting performances in WWE history, and the lack of emotion from their mother and brother did little to help.

The segment was more comical than anything. And I never understood why they brought Jerry in for this since the whole idea just made their feud itself comical. The segment came to an end in a brawl where they knocked Jerry down and he had to be stretchered away.
