Hey Guys

And welcome to another one of my blogs, last night was the 855th episode of WWE RAW Live from Indianapolis Indiana, i thought last weeks Raw with Big Ben was a good show, last night had some good parts but overall i thought the show could have been better, let me get down to the points.

The opening with Chris Jericho announcing he would team captain Smackdown at Bragging Rights was good, this opening gave Nancy O'Dell the opportunity to get the fans behind her, with her announcing DX were up next, and it worked as i thought she done a steady job, nothing great but steady.

The opening with Triple H i have to say was ok, for me it was long and more time could have been given to another match on the card, Triple H on the phone to HBK was ok, but i just couldnt get into it as an adult fan, once again this segment was solely based on PG for children, anyway this led to Jeri/Show coming out to confront HHH, it then led to Jeri/Show having a confrontation slating each other about past failures, it was then announced that Show would face Jericho and if Show wins he competes with Team Raw at Bragging Rights, overall an ok segment but nothing great.

Jericho v Big Show was up next, the match was slow and all we got was a couple of slaps from Big Show and a count out win for Show, nothing great here and i expect to see these guys get back on the same page shortly, i even predict that Team Smackdown will defeat Team Raw at Bragging Rights when the Big Show turns on DX at the end and Chris Jericho will pick up the win for Smackdown.

Next up was Mickie James defending against Jillian, at first i was shocked when Jillian was her opponent, but i see why they went this way as what occurred at the conclusion of the match made sense when Jillian defeated Mickie James to win the title, Melina then re-debuted on Raw and took on Jillian and won the belt, i was really ok about this, it makes sense, Melina for me should be on Raw anyway and i am happy that some Divas have been traded, funnilly enough i said on my last blog that Mickie James or Beth Pheonix would move to Smackdown sooner rather than later, overall very happy with the way the Divas Division was portrayed last night.

Poor OL MVP, what has this guy done wrong?, is he once again in the doghouse?, c'mon this guy is a great talent and deserves better, he was basically squashed by Jack Swagger last night in a quick match, Now i am all for Swaggers push, but MVP should not have been the man to do the job last night, MVP just looks stale and for me creative dont have any idea what to do with him, poor segment in my eyes and poor booking.

Kofi Kingston v Evan Bourne, we all know that these 2 can put on, one hell of match, but once again last night they didnt get enough time, another quick match that saw Evan Bourne LOSE again, this guy should have been kept on ECW to continue his push, the only guy on the Raw roster that Bourne has a chance of beating one on one is Chavo Guerrerro, Kofi qualified for Bragging Rights, but one has to wonder where does Bourne go from here?

HHH with Hornswoggle backstage, just completely bombed, i hated it, 10 years ago DX would have made a mockery of Hornswoggle and done something out right nasty to him, DX dont belong in a PG WWE, get Hornswoggle off Raw as well, he doesnt belong their, by the way i sometimes like what DX gives us dont get me wrong but some segments are just plain idiotic in this PG era.

The Divas tag match was just a way to plug that Maria ' i cant pronounce her second name' movie, so i dont really want to discuss that.

Now lets get to why i named this column, Raw- No Strength In Depth

Last night we were given a Triple threat match between John Cena and Cody Rhodes and Ted Dibiase, now this match was ok but apart from Legacy sometimes attempting to break up either ones pinfalls, for me this was just a 2 on 1 match, Cody got the victory when he rolled up partner Ted and he qualifies for Bragging Rights, i really liked this ending and i like the way Legacy are being pushed, a really good team and two talented guys who will go places mark my words.

Now we then got O'Dell making a tag team match later in the evening between Legacy and John Cena and Orton, Michael Cole sold Cena's and Orton's partnership big time, but didnt they just tag up in a match on Raw about 4-5 weeks ago?, c'mon WWE we are not that thick.

Now the main event was just the same as the triple threat match that we got, it was basically the same match WWE gave us last night, Orton got in the ring for about 2 seconds then it was back to the same match we got earlier in the evening, dont get me wrong i liked Ted pinning Randy to continue this Legacy momentum and possible face turns for the group, but RAW LACKS STRENGTH IN DEPTH, they are having to get wrestlers to work 2 matches a show, they even have to have Smackdowns Chris Jericho on this show every week to save it, their is not enough superstars on this brand and if WWE want to make this their best show they must improve the roster.

Well as you can see guys i wasnt very favourable to this Raw broadcast, i would say the show was ok and give it a 6.5/10, i am really looking foward to Snoop Dogg next week as guest host and Cena v Triple H should be decent, as always guys i would like your thoughts on this column.

UNTIL NEXT TIME

The Chosen One
