Arnold Schwarzenegger to be RAW social media ambassador tomorrow

Former California Governor and Hollywood movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger will be the social media ambassador for tomorrow’s episode of Monday Night RAW.

Schwarzenegger will be tweeting to his 2.6 million followers on Twitter while WWE will return the favor by plugging his new book titled ‘Total Recall’ during the broadcast.

The Governator got into a war of words with Money In The Bank winner Dolph Ziggler over the weekend on Twitter after Ziggler said he bought his book to “study his workouts for the media and movies” after he cashes in his MITB contract. Schwarzenegger thanked him for the support and told him good luck, two words that Ziggler didn’t appreciate.

“Hah relax brother, i don’t need luck & im not a fan, just a heads up, im on my way to being a much bigger STAR than you,” Ziggler tweeted back.

This is not the first time that Schwarzenegger worked for WWE as in 1999 he appeared in an episode of Smackdown and got physical with Triple H, attacking The Game and then downing a few beers with Steve Austin in the ring afterward.

With the RAW guest host idea thrown out of the window, the RAW social media ambassador is the new thing for WWE, tapping celebrities to tweet about the show to their millions of followers.

On October 1, there will be a King who will be the social media ambassador for that night’s RAW. And that King is none other than…Larry King!

Yes, that’s right, the former host of CNN’s Larry King Live will be watching all the three hours of RAW next Monday night and will be tweeting about the show to his 2.42 million followers.

In return, WWE will plug Larry King’s new show which will be airing exclusively on Hulu titled Larry King Now.

WWE is going after celebrities to tweet during RAW just like they went after celebs to appear on the show as guest hosts.

Following the failed experiment with Charlie Sheen – who quit Twitter two weeks before he was announced as the social media ambassador for the 1000th episode – WWE tapped Jersey Shore’s DJ Pauly D to tweet during the show this week.

Next week it will be another celebrity who will be talking about RAW in 140 characters or less, and that person will be Khloe Kardashian Odom. Kardashian will be tweeting for the three hour RAW that will follow SummerSlam to her 7.4 million followers on the social network website while WWE will plug her TV show season finale “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.”

The whole social media ambassador started during the WrestleMania weekend when Mike Tyson was tapped as the first social media ambassador.

DJ Pauly D to be RAW social media ambassador next week

It looks like one Jersey Shore star association with WWE wasn’t enough as the company has announced a second cast member to be involved with RAW next week and SummerSlam.

DJ Pauly D has been announced as RAW’s Social Media Ambassador for next week’s three hour broadcast with his role being tweeting live to his almost 4 million followers throughout the show.

This new gig for celebrities seems to have replaced the guest host concept. Charlie Sheen was supposed to have the same role for the RAW 1000 episode but the actor decided he had enough of Twitter two weeks before the show and just quit.

DJ Pauly D is also going to be spinning at the SummerSlam VIP party which will be held at the Beverly Hills Hotel on August 16.
