WWE Raw Reax #2: "Mark Henry's body slam of Big Show looked impressive, but how many times has John Cena effortlessly delivered the FU on Big Show?"

-- 9/7 WWE Raw Reax

A.A. Norman of Tulsa, Okla. (10.0) Best: BOB BARKER. I hereby nominate Bob Barker for greatest guest host for Raw. We've had some fun ones, but Bob just knows how to host and how to have fun. He might have scared children with his vampire-like laugh at times, but I may just have to run out and get his book in return for him giving us a memorable show once again.

Terrie Neilson of Las Vegas, Nev. (3.0): Best: Jericho vs. MVP; DX vs. Masters/Orton. Worst: Chavo vs. Evan (sadly). Thankfully, I'm not on PG TV so I can ask this: who wrote this piece of s---? The game show antics really didn't do much for me on a go-home show. It would have been so much better if Raw Roulette took place in Vegas to set up what was coming. The minute MVP was introduced, I knew Jericho was losing the trip to Hawaii. Nothing was said of MVP winning the trip, but Big Show won the hot tub away from Santino? It was never clear what happened to the prizes should they lose. It should be noted, though, that Santino's expression when Big Show came out was priceless. My understanding of prizes is that they are usually non-transferable. Santino won a trip to WrestleMania 26...but what if he ends up in a match that day? I know, the whole thing will be ignored by then, but there is the OCD thing with me that can't see an empty seat happening. The segment where DX spun for their opponents was just as confusing. It seemed like they were spinning for two singles matches not a tag match. Triple H's comments about Masters were inexcusable. Evan Bourne got the win over Chavo, but doesn't Hornswoggle spraying Chavo count as a DQ? That was just ridiculous. Cody gave a nice pre-match promo. Did I buy what he was saying about Randy's RKO to Dusty? No, but it was well delivered. Mark Henry's (billed at 415) body slam of Big Show did look impressive. But how many times has John Cena (billed 240) gotten Big Show seemingly effortlessly on his shoulders for an F-U/Attitude Adjustment? The main event was a decent match leading to the DX-Legacy brawl and Orton-Cena finish. Usually, the face beat down has led to the face winning come PPV. It's been a while since Cena has had the title, and recent times he's been in title matches have led him to winning the match but not the title. It's looking like this time the trend bucking will stop. Something is brewing with Shawn underneath all of this. Maybe it's simply some subtle protest to make up for the material he has to put up with. But it still leaves me with that feeling that Shawn will turn, or at the very least snap. Please, Shawn, SNAP! I'm begging you.
