Gonzo also appeared alongside his fellow Muppets in the Halloween 2011 episode of WWE Raw, where he and Fozzie encountered Jack Swagger, Dolph Ziggler and Vickie Guerrero backstage. Upon hearing that Gonzo could be a WWE Champion if he put his mind into it, Swagger and Ziggler grabbed his arms and stretched them before tying them around him in a knot. When asked by Fozzie if he was alright, he replied, "Are you kidding? How did they know I needed an adjustment?"

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention. While parents tout the virtues of premarital virginity, drug-free living, nonviolent resolution of social conflict, or character over physical appearance, their values are daily challenged by television soaps, rock music lyrics, tabloid headlines, and movie scenes extolling the importance of physical appearance and conformity.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
“The media have just buried the last yuppie, a pathetic creature who had not heard the news that the great pendulum of public conciousness has just swung from Greed to Compassion and from Tex-Mex to meatballs.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
