For the longest time, World Wrestling Entertainment has had guest hosts from the likes Hugh Jackman to Pee Wee Herman, but never have there been hosts like this. I could only be talking about one thing… The Muppets.

That’s right, on WWE’s Halloween edition of Monday Night Raw, the fuzzy friends of the geek universe will be hitting the squared circle to take on the likes of CM Punk, John Cena, Alberto Del Rio, and the entire WWE Universe.

When The Muppets hits theaters the day before Thanksgiving the movie will be missing one of the original “Muppeteers”: Frank Oz.

Before becoming a director with films as diverse as the 1986 musical remake of Little Shop of Horrors and the DeNiro/Brando/Norton crime drama The Score to his credit, Oz provided the voices and movements for several of the most iconic Muppet characters including Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, and Animal as well as Grover and Cookie Monster on Sesame Street. He also did the voice and puppeteering for Yoda in the original Star Wars trilogy (for the prequels Oz only did the voice, as Yoda was now a CGI character).

The latest trailer for the upcoming The Muppets has been released and you can watch it here below.

Since the marketing campaign for the first Muppets movie to hit theaters since 1996 kicked off back in May there have been several trailers released that either parodied various movies in released or awaiting release like Green Lantern and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (which opens a month after The Muppets) or put more emphasis on the movie’s human stars Jason Segel and Amy Adams. The new trailer features more of the Muppets in action (including new character Walter), lots of hilarious gags (I love the “travel by map” goof), and a few celebrity cameos (Ooh, Neil Patrick Harris!).

The feel-good movie of the holiday season is taking a cue from the self-proclaimed “feel-bad movie of Christmas” for the latest round of its marketing campaign. Yes, the new poster and trailer for The Muppets have been released and you can check out both below this article.

There have been several trailers and posters for The Muppets since earlier in the year when the now-classic “Green with Envy” teaser that lured unsuspecting viewers into thinking they were watching a trailer for some new turgid romantic comedy (only to pull the rug out from under them nearly a minute in by bringing on Jim Henson’s iconic creations) was first released.

The $10 t-shirt deal of the day over at RIPT Apparel is a mash-up of E.T. and The Muppets called “Gonz The Extra Terrestrial” by artist AJ Paglia.

The sale at RIPT began today, Tuesday, August 23, 2011, at midnight CST, and will continue for 24 hours from then, and once it’s over, it will not be sold on the site anymore.
