Hey guys and welcome to another one of my blogs, i havent managed to write in a while especially about Raw as i thought the shows have disappointed many of us in recent weeks and i am finally glad to say i can write a column regarding a very good Raw and last night's show with Big Ben as guest host for me delivered very well, infact i would go as to say that this was the best special host the show has had since this concept was introduced, Bob Barker was excellent as well though but i am edging for Ben as my best non wrestler host thus far.
I want to start off with the match between a very impressive Miz and another fantastic athlete in Kofi Kingston, these two always give us great end to end entertainment in their matches, so many near falls and i was honestly on the edge of my seat last night even though i knew it would finally be the Miz's night, Kofi's reign as US Champion was very impressive and he should be very proud of his run with the belt, but The Miz for me was the only decent contender to take that title from him and i couldnt be happier for Miz, he has upped his game and he deserves a run with the gold, overall great match and great value to the US Title.
Jack Swagger for me is a very good athlete, but ever since his move to Raw he has been let down very badly by creative with the way he has been used, yes he did feature in the US Title picture but that feud really belonged to Kofi and Miz, so for me Swagger was never a contender to win that title, last night however we saw the start of a new program for Swagger, he says he will go undefeated until the end of the year and folks i reckon this is a great way to get this guy into the spoltight again, he had a decent match with Primo but it was obvious what the outcome of the match would be when Swagger cut his promo at the beginning, overall i am hopeful Swagger moves away from the US Title picture and moves on to hopefully competing against bigger superstars on the brand.
Little small point to make, why in the name did WWE split up Carlito and Primo, these two were great as a team and now both men seem to be going absolutely no where as singles stars, it's an utter shame for two talented individuals.
I loved the opening of Raw with the Diva's ball, great to see all Divas on one show last night, the match produced some good spots and i was happy with the outcome, Mickie James for me is awesome, and i reckon Maryse will come back shortly to get some revenge on Mickie, i would also like to see all divas being used on all 3 brands as their is some talented Divas their who need more spotlight time.
Now i wanted the John Cena and Randy Orton feud to be over and done with, i will be honest any time they have battled i am not really interested in it, but as their matches go on i start to enjoy them, now i am not sure if i want to see these two battle for an hour on a PPV, but this match at Bragging Rights could be off the charts, now i know we are in a PG era here but surely with the anything goes rule and the way this match was made last night we may see some blood?, i would love it if this happened, PLEASE WWE get some blood in their, The Hell in a Cell PPV flopped as no blood was involved, it was just normal cage matches at that PPV as far as i am concerned, it was never HELL IN A CELL.
JeriShow and DX last night was an immense main event, even Big Show impressed me last night, the match was given a good amount of time and it deserved it, all 4 men worked their socks off and it now looks like my predicition was right when i said DX and JeriShow would work a program after DX and Legacy were over., the confrontation to make this match between Big Ben and his lineman was great, so entertaining and the way Raw ended will definetly get Raw media attention, it all worked out so perfectly last night and i am in no doubt that Vince McMahon will be a happy guy today.
As you will notice i didnt speak about Chavo/Masters v MVP/Henry match, for it was pointless, however i am interested to see where Mark Henry is going, when i watch a match i sometimes see heel turns coming, and i see Mark Henry's face turn ending shortly, he's gonna take out MVP, mark my words.
Overall guys i loved Raw last night, and i just hope Raw can continue this onto next week, I still am a supported of Smackdown as i still think its better than Raw, but last night i was very happy with Raw.
As always guys i would like your opinions on this column.
UNTIL NEXT TIME
The Chosen One


You are absolutly right, this was the best Raw we had in a long time and big Ben did quite a job as guest host. I agree with you that he was the best non wrestler since this concept began. I hope now that they will be able to follow this up every week. And I'm happy to see that they are finally going to do something with the extremly talenyed Jack Swagger.
