Hey guys and welcome to my latest blog concerning last night's 846th broadcast of Monday Night Raw, LIVE from Calgary Alberta, Canada.
Before the show began we knew Sargeant Slaughter would be special guest host and i was slightly concerned with this appointment especially with the show being in Canada, i do have great respect for the Sarge but for me he doesn't draw as well as the rest of the WWE Hall of Famers and from last night's showing i would say that was the worst special guest host we have witnessed since this whole guest host thing started, he wasn't even used in the ring he kept coming onto the stage all night downfalling the canadians and teasing them to a Bret Hart return and Jillian Hall even doing a sing song, none of these segments worked for me and it was a complete waste of time, their is a PPV called Summerslam coming up, apparently this is the WWE's 2nd biggest event on their calendar, they could have builded up feuds instead of us having to witness these Salughter segments.
I have to say the diva's fatal 4 way match was terrific, all 4 diva's impressed me very much and it's good to see them getting a good amount of ring time, it looks like Vince is hopefully deciding to give the diva's more time on Raw and i am very glad, Gail Kim picked up the deserved win and she earned it with her performance last night, my only concern here was, why wasn't the Divas champion on the broadcast, all your brands champions should be on the show and i was very annoyed that Mickie James worked a dark match before the show and that she wasn't on the live telecast.
Jack Swagger and MVP is working very well for me, i like these two guys in ring styles and i am looking foward to these two hopefully not going at it next week but to book them on the Summerslam PPV card, these two guys are talented individuals and they deserve a match on the PPV where it will be given a lot of time, i would also like to point out that Swagger v Bourne last night was good and so was MVP getting a good victory over Chris Masters.
Now i despise what we are seeing with Mark Henry and Hornswoggle, it's time the little fella was put back over to ECW he shouldn't be on the supposed no1 Brand in WWE, Mark Henry came over and was getting decent reactions when he pinned Orton and destroyed Jericho and then all of a sudden he is placed with Hornswoggle, complete joke of a booking by RAW creative and i am only glad that Legacy picked up the win last night.
Now i have say i loved the DX segments, great humour and fun entertainment by HBK and HHH, i like to see HHH's side when he is fun and entertaining and this certainly refreshed his character last night, Legacy go head to head with a returning DX at Summerslam and i am very much ok with this i am just a little concerned as to where do HBK and HHH go after Summerslam though.
It just shows you how much Raw is lacking when they need to use Smackdown superstar Chris Jericho in their main event against John Cena, was a decent match with a disqualifcation outcome , afterwards Orton and Cena took out Show and Jericho, and now a tag match is set for next week between Orton/Cena and Show and Jericho.
What was the point in creating the Miz angle last week only for him to win back his spot this week, these Raw writers are really needing a good kick up the backside, complete and utter pointless storytelling.
Well we saw some good matches on Raw last night, but still overall the show needs more shocks and bigger stars.
I would give last nights show a 6.5/10, as always i would like your comments on this blog.
UNTIL NEXT TIME
The Chosen One


Apoligies, because i have to disagree this time Sgt.Slaughter and DX made that episode of RAW memorable. I actually thought it was a step up for the special guest host thing.
