Raw 10-12

Last week with Big Ben I had to say that it was a solid show. Tonight proves how damn dumb the guest gm thing is on Raw. Nancy O'Dell from Access Hollywood. To quote my good friend from Show Stoppers Larry "WTF?" Seriously! How can I believe she knows a wrist lock to a wrist watch. Proves once again I should be a guest GM one week. Il guarantee I can prove to wrestling fans in 10mins I deserve it more than Nancy will in 2 hours. Ok, I am sorry for the rant. Lights camera wait..



Before the music and pyro the greatest wrestler in the world today Chris Jericho is shown in the back. Jericho talks about Bragging Rights and how he is the team captain for the Smackdown team. Nancy O'Dell shows up and says we don't start Raw with Y2J but with DX. DX heads to the ring. Triple H comes down without HBK. HHH does the are you ready by himself. HHH says Shawn is not there. HHH talks about the Bragging Rights team headlining with DX. HHH whips out his cell phone and calls his tag partner. Shawn's voice mail is him singing his music. Shawn picks up and says he can't make it because his daughter is sick. JeriShow come out to interrupt Hunter's fun. Jericho talks about Smackdowns team for Bragging Rights. He says Smackdown is better than Raw because Chris is on it. Jericho talks about how he wants Show on the Smackdown team even though he's on Raw. HHH is trying to bait Show into getting mad at Jericho. An argument breaks out between Chris and Big Show. JeriShow banter about how each one of them has been made a fool of by different celebrities. HHH is standing back and soaking it all in. Show decides he wants to be on the Raw team without Jericho. HHH says to bad they don't have a space for him. HHH says he can earn his spot on the Raw team if he beats his tag partner Jericho. That match will be next.



Show and Jericho get in each others face and then shake hands before the match begins. Show pushes Chris into the corner and rubs his hair, then again but another clean break. Big Show displaying some power early on. Huge chop in the corner on Chris's chest. Jericho rolls to the outside. Show picks up Y2J from the outside to the inside. Jericho shoves Show a few times. Show grabs him by the neck and throws him into the corner. Show put him on the top rope and chopped him off to the outside. Jericho fakes a knee injury to roll in the ring to win via countout. Show caught him in the knick of time and Show rolled in just in time to win. Big Show joins DX for the Raw team at Bragging Rights.



Special correspondent is some chick from Access Hollywood. Dibiase and Rhodes in the back talking about competing for spots on the Raw team and this broad makes a triple threat match for another spot on team Raw. Rhodes vs Dibiase vs Cena. Raw's writing team tonight: How bout tonight we have every heel team get mad at each other and have to face each other? Love it lets do it.



Diva title match Mickie vs Jillian. I love looking at Jillian with mute on my tv but she isn't the most solid wrestler. A few decent wrestling moves to start and a dropkick by Mickie for 2. Mickie is countering Jillian in this entire match. Mickie leaps to the second rope and Jillian powerbombs her for the victory. Um I got nothing to say now. Im actually speechless. All I can say is why? Nancy chick is back and talks about how Smackdown and Raw made a Diva trade. Melina is back on Raw. Mickie say hello to Smackdown. This match starts now. Melina and Jillian screw up the finisher and then do another one with Melina flipping Jillian and pinning her for the victory. Im ok with this now. Mickie will go to Smackdown to face Michelle McCool. Melina made be alittle mad because she is apart from Morrison. I can understand that but we all are happy because we get to see Melina's entrance every night.

Snoop Dogg is the guest host of GM next week. Maybe he can bring back RVD to smoke a bowl.
DX is backstage and HHH is talking to Shawn on the phone. Hornswaggle is dressed as HBK. Full details of the Diva trade will be made after the show on WWE.com but I can't wait. Santino in the back with the 2 women from Access Hollywood. Beth has been traded to Smackdown. Thank god! SHE WILL BE USED OVER THERE! Woooo! Beth is in the face of the AH chicks. Santino makes a match with the one gal against Beth. As she leaves Santino says everytime he and Beth were intimate he faked every organism. Yes he said it incorrectly. Very funny.

Triple Threat Bragging Rights qualifying match Rhodes vs Dibiase vs Cena. Legacy come out together. Nice big pop for Cena. Cena clotheslines Rhodes and starts to go to work on Dibiase. Here is my gripe on this match: Why the hell would Legacy want to team with DX anyway? Double clothesline on Legacy. Sidewalk slam but Rhodes saves Dibiase. If Legacy were smart they would just beat the crap out of Cena for their leader Randy Orton. Who cares about Bragging Rights brand tag match! Rhodes with a bulldog off the 2nd rope. Legacy is just beating the crap out of Cena right now. Crowd is chanting for Cena. Cena knocks Rhodes off the apron but Dibiase follows up with big lariat for 2. Teddy dumps John over the top as Raw heads to a break. Raw is back with Cena on the mat again. Rhodes is FU'd over the top. Dropkick by Dibiase for 2. Neckbreaker by Rhodes for 2. Knee drop to the back of Cena's head for another near fall. Cena finally hits a move but Dibiase saves the match up. Legacy goes for a double suplex and Cena suplexes Legacy. Cena starting to take control. STFU on Teddy. Orton slides in and out of the ring. Rhodes pinned Dibiase from behind. AH chick on the tron now. She makes a match with Dibiase and Rhodes vs Cena and Orton. Is Raw's roster really this weak? Last week JeriShow wrestled twice. Tonight Legacy have to wrestle twice. Where is Kofi vs Miz a rematch for the US title? MVP Henry Swagger and Bourne? I mean there is plenty of talent on the roster and 2 weeks in a row the same guys wrestle twice. This is why I tell John and Larry on ShowStoppers week after week Smackdown is the better show. They know how to utilize the entire roster.

Finally Swagger comes out. I do wish Jack had a little different entrance. I like the pyro though. Swagger said last week he is going undefeated the rest of the year. He faces another guy I was wondering where he was, MVP. These two men should have had a longer feud early in the summer. They had 1 match on ppv and that was the end of it. Swagger starts to focus on the shoulder. Good idea and smart wrestling. MVP with a big throw and starts to mount a comeback. Ballin' elbow for 2. Arm breaker followed up with a gut wrench powerbomb for the victory. No where near long enough match up. Swagger is now on the Raw team with DX, Show and Rhodes.

Legacy in the back with Orton talking about there is no way he tags with Cena. He makes it clear that it will be 3 on 1. Rhodes and Dibiase talk about how the other one is thinking about pinning Orton.

BOOM BOOM BOOM Kofi is out for a chance to be on the Raw tag team. His opponent is Evan Bourne. Here is a great match up! I hope this match goes longer than 2 mins. Evan makes his way to the ring heading to the break. Match started during the break. Cole and Lawler mention the last spot will be either Masters or Henry a match thats on Superstars. Il spare you the trouble, Henry won. Half crab by Evan. Huge Euro upper cut by Kofi for 2. Kofi leaped to the top rope but fell for 2. S.O.S by Kofi for a 2 count. Evan nails Kofi with a sweet knee. Evan gets caught in mid air by the Trouble in Paradise for the victory for Kofi. I've been saying this: I am so tired of seeing Bourne lose each week. You here me WWE writers! Evan deserves a push against Miz. HHH in the back with AH sluts. So some access hollywood gets to waste a entire segment in the ring against Beth, who she will beat. Love it. Thank you WWE. Way to put on a fantastic product.

6 Diva tag match. Beth, Alicia and Rosa are in the ring. They take on Kelly Kelly, Gail Kim and Maria Menounos. I don't care. Gail and Alicia start the match up. Maria comes in right away. She tosses Alicia around a couple of times. Wasn't Alicia just the number 1 contender for the Diva title? Beth gets tagged in but is slapped by Maria. Huge sidewalk slam by Beth to Kelly. Rosa and Kelly are in. Kelly hits her leg drop on Rosa for the win. Beth should do cart wheels up the stage because now she will be used on Smackdown as what she should be, a dominant woman in the Women's division.

The New United States Champion The Miz comes to the stage. Miz comes out to brag about how he is the new US title. At Bragging Rights, Miz will take on John Morrison. I like that match up. Very cool match the WWE booked for the ppv. Miz rattles on for a few more minutes. Cole and Lawler rundown the ppv card. Main event time:

The WWE champion and currently one of my favorite wrestlers Randy Orton and Raw heads towards it last break of the night. Orton says he talked to the guest host for next weeks Raw. Cena will compete but doesn't announce against who. We find out who after the match. Cena starts up against Dibiase. Legacy double teaming Cena right now. Powerslam by Teddy for 2. Rhodes in now. Orton got tagged in. Rhodes tried to pin Orton. Dibiase blind tag and tries to pin Orton twice. Cena gets fired up and lands the you cant see me fist drop. Orton starts to take out Cnea. Dibiase rolls up Orton for the win. I had to laugh at that one. Cena is up and Orton gets an FU to end the show. Cena will face Triple H next week.

I have a few complaints as I have made mention to them above. Where the hell was the wrestling tonight? Way to much backstage crap for sure. Raw needs to be more focused on wrestling. Right now its all about Bragging Rights Raw vs Smackdown. Thats fine but where is the other feuds to help contribute to Raw? Raw can't be about Orton Cena and that's it. You make a pay per view than Raw should have Smackdown guys and Smackdown should use some Raw guys to make the fans want to buy the ppv. Otherwise we have to just believe it will be a great match and have very little hype going into it. One mans opinion. Take it or leave. I am the best damn WWE blogger on the planet. Wooo!
