-Good evening one and all and welcome to another exciting edition of Monday Night Raw. Coming off Bragging Rights were Smackdown reigned supreme, but Raw's main event stole the show where do we go from here. John Cena is once again WWE Champion vanquishing Randy Orton in one of the best matches of 2009. Randy Orton gets no rematch, so Cena will move on to something else…but what? DX looks to be tied up with JeriShow after last night's betrayal by Big Show. All that plus a couple race car drivers no one cares about host. The football game is a dog tonight, so lets see if the ‘E can take advantage.
-Live from HSBC Arena in Buffalo, NY
-Hosted by Michael Cole & Jerry "The King" Lawler
-JeriShow is out to start the show with Jericho clutching Bragging Rights as if it is the Stanley Cup or something. Show says he is still a proud member of the Raw roster, and starts to explain his actions. Jericho cuts him off and says he doesn't need to explain himself. He says Show is a man of honor and his loyalty to Jericho supercedes any loyalty he has for Raw. Show tries to tell him something, but Jericho says he has something to tell him first. He thanks Show for stopping the tyranny of DX, but Show again says he needs to let him talk. Jericho cuts him off, and says he knows that Smackdown would have won anyway because he was the mastermind and the genius. Show finally cuts him off, and says he did what he did for him. Show says he did it for his career, as he can be on both shows. He says he struck a deal with Teddy Long, and he's now Undertaker's opponent at Survivor Series. Jericho says he never approved that with him, and they get into a little argument over who needs who and low calorie food (seriously) but they are interrupted by the race car drivers who come barreling into the arena in their race cars. Joey Logano and Kyle Busch head to the ring accompanied by the Bellas. Kyle says they are huge WWE fans, and they are proud to be here on Raw. Kyle tells Show that the fans don't really care for what he did, but he's a man's man and he's with him. He says things are happening for a reason, and congratulates Show. Logano says what he did was wrong, and that's not impressive. Show tells Kyle to teach his friend a little something about respect. Kyle says Joey doesn't know much about Championships, but they're here to win Championships. Oh god, I don't like where this is headed. Kyle says they're in Buffalo. A city that hasn't won a Championship since Hulkamania! BURN! Kyle busts on Buffalo for signing TO, and says soon we're going to be singing "Oh Canada" Jericho doesn't see anything wrong with that. Joey says he gets to book the matches, and tonight Show is going to face the guy he sucker punched. HHH vs. Show tonight. Jericho tries to show off the cup to Joey, but Kyle interrupts and says he's going to book Jericho in a match with Kofi Johns..err…Kingston. Acting fail for the NASCAR boys. Kofi is out and that match is next.
Chris Jericho vs. Kofi Johnson Kingston
Bell rings as we get back from break and Kofi pushes Jericho into the corner. Jericho bails to the floor for a breather before heading back inside. They trade shoves before Jericho gets the upper hand with a boot to the midsection. Jericho whips Kofi to the corner, but charges into a double boot. Kofi sends Jericho for the ride and delivers a big dropkick for two. Kofi grabs an armbar, but Jericho is able to get to the ropes. Jericho regains control with a cheapshot off the break, and follows up by choking Kofi out on the second rope. Kofi is back with a rollup, but the comeback is quickly thwarted by Jericho. Jericho grabs a side headlock, and follows up with a shoulderblock. Jericho hits the ropes, but Kofi leapfrogs a few times and delivers a jumping back elbow sending Jericho back to the floor. Kofi delivers a suicide dive, and fires Jericho back inside. Kofi hops to the second rope for a series of right hands, but Jericho counters with a running powerbomb. Kofi rolls to the apron, but Jericho delivers a springboard dropkick sending him to the floor as we head to break. Back from commercial with Jericho slingshotting Kofi into the bottom rope, and then locking in the half nelson chinlock. Kofi is able to fight out, and then hits a rollup for two. Jericho is back with a clothesline for two of his own. Kofi fights back out of the corner, and then counters a running bulldog attempt by Jericho sending him crotch first into the ringpost. Jericho charges into a pair of chops, and a spin kick before delivering a flying clothesline. Boom drop connects, but Jericho pops up into a Walls of Jericho attempt. Kofi fights out of that, but Jericho delivers an enzaguri for a two count. Jericho charges into the corner, but Kofi meets him with a bicycle kick and heads to the top rope. Jericho meets him up top, and goes for a superplex which is blocked by Kofi. He sends Jericho back crashing to the mat, and hits a crossbody off the top. Jericho rolls through though and that's good for a two count. Kofi delivers a Side Russian Legsweep, and goes for Trouble in Paradise. Jericho catches him in mid air though and goes for the Walls! Kofi counters into a rollup for two, but walks in the codebreaker from Jericho. He's slow to cover though, and Kofi gets his foot on the rope at two! Jericho thinks he's won the match, and argues with the ref, but turns around into the Trouble in Paradise. This time in connects, and that picks up the win for Kofi at 13:34. Huge win for Kofi, and a great match. Just what you'd expect from these guys. Great start to the show. Winner: Kofi Kingston (Pinfall-Trouble in Paradise ***1/4)
Kofi is celebrating on the ramp when he is met from behind by an enraged Randy Orton, who throws Kofi off the ramp to the floor. Randy stands looking over the ramp with that psychotic look as officials check on Kofi. Random, but that's what made it work.
-The Redskins are terrible. That is all.
-Josh Mathews stops Orton to get words on why he attacked Kofi last night. He says Kofi interfered in his match last night, and cost him the title. He says he's only just begun on Kofi Kingston. Cody kicks Josh aside, and him and Dibiase say they have a gift for him. It's a Randy Orton race car. Orton loves it, and asks if they actually bought it for him. Dibiase says they've had their differences, but Orton is still the leader. He says they also have a surprise in store for John Cena, and it's only a matter of time before the title comes back to Legacy. Orton-Evolution storyline in reverse anyone?
-Logano and Busch pimp the race with Eve Torres before they are interrupted by Jack Swagger. Swagger says they have a lot in common. Young, successful champions who aren't afraid to tell people how good they are. Busch asks what he wants, and Swagger says he wants a shot at Cena tonight. They say they probably can't swing it because Cena wrestled tonight, but they are going to pick Cena's next opponent. Swagger gets distracted by Eve, and starts to hit on her before he's interrupted by Miz. Miz says since he was the only Raw guy to win last night he deserves Cena's title shot.
Mixed Tag Team Match: Santino Marella & Melina vs. Chavo Guerrero & Jillian
Santino teases the splits on the intro, but thinks better of it. Chavo and Santino start things off, and Santino greets Chavo with a backdrop. Santino delivers a back elbow, and goes for the salute splash which misses. Chavo rams Santino into the corner, and chokes him out with the boot. European uppercut connects by Chavo for two, but Santino stops an Irish Whip with a cartwheel and an armdrag. Santino delivers a few hilarious right hands, and Chavo tags in Jillian. The divas go at it next with Jillian gaining control with a clothesline. That brings out Hornswoggle for a distraction, and Melina goes a last call which is horribly botched (and Melina looked noticeably upset). They get tied up in the ropes, and finally Melina hits the primal scream and that finishes at 2:36. After the match a courier delivers Hornswoggle an official document, but of course he can't read so he takes it over to Lawler. Lawler informs him it is a cease and desist order from DX letting him no he can no longer dress up like HBK. Slow burn for Swoggle-Michaels at WM 26? Winners: Santino Marella & Melina (Melina pins Jillian-Primal Scream ¼*)
-Justin Roberts goes to introduce John Cena, but is interrupted by Legacy. Cody says the Champ is…not here. He says it would the perfect time for him to parade out here and brag about his epic victory, but Cena will have to wait because The Legacy is here. Dibiase says just because Randy can't face Cena for the WWE Title it doesn't mean they can't. He says at Survivor Series they are bringing the WWE Championship back to Legacy where it belongs. Dibiase says they didn't ask the guest hosts, because they didn't have to. He says they are making a challenge directly to him. He says he can face Cody or Ted or he can face both of them in a handicap match if he's got the guts. That brings out Cena who says he doesn't have to brag about what happened last night. He says it was what needed to be. The best in the WWE competing in one final showdown, and he can even speak for their mentor Randy Orton in saying they were exhausted. He says people ask why they would do something like that. In a weird way they did it for themselves, the title, and all of the fans, but most importantly they did it because the Cena-Orton rivalry needed to end and it did (shoot comment?). He says that brings us to Raw when everyone is wondering who challenger will be. He says everyone wants to see Cena vs. (mockingly) Randy Orton's legacy. They say they aren't Randy, but Cena says they're close enough. He says people will think Raw is going into reruns…WOW…this promo was written by the IWC wasn't it? Cena says they've been going in circles for 12 years and its time for him to say no more. He tells them they can make all the empty challenges they want, and how they're going to take the title back to Legacy. He says if they want a shot at the belt they can lace their boots up and work for it. He tells them they haven't earned it yet, and asks the crowd if the baby oil boys club has earned anything? They of course say no, and he says while they're acting all holier than thou, and buying stock cars than Randy Orton he says he's actually a NASCAR fan. He says he was talking to the hosts, and he got them a match for tonight that will happen right now. He says they need to introduce themselves to their next opponents, and brings out MVP and Mark Henry.
The Legacy vs. Mark Henry & Montel Vontavious Porter
Back from break with Legacy in control of MVP and Dibiase covering for two. Rhodes tags in and locks in a crossface chickenwing, but MVP fights his way free of that and delivers a clothesline. That allows MVP to tag in Henry who comes in with a headbutt to Cody. Henry picks up Cody in a choke, but the ref is distracted and Dibiase is in with a chopblock regaining control for Legacy. Dibaise then tags in legally and puts the boots to Henry before tagging Cody right back in. Standard fare face-in-peril corner beat down commences with quick tags and boots in the heel corner. Cody locks in a front facelock, and Henry tries to power him to the corner to make the tag, but MVP gets drawn in and the distraction allows Cody to come in and they deliver a double dropkick. Cody covers for a two count, and locks in a front facelock again but gets thrown away by Henry. Cody goes right back to the front facelock, but this time Henry backdrops out of it. MVP and Dibiase both tag in, and MVP hits a throw and a clothesline. MVP delivers a facebuster, and that sets up the ballin' elbow drop. Cody makes the save at two, but Mark Henry is in with a headbutt for him. MVP hits the ropes and goes for a sunset flip which is assisted by a Mark Henry clothesline. That picks up the win at 4:45. Well that's sure interesting, as it seems the Legacy going after the belt story is the best of all possible options. Not sure how them losing helps us get there. Winners: Mark Henry & Montel Vontavious Porter (MVP pins Dibiase-Sunset Flip **)
-Randy Orton meets them in the ring after the match, and says apparently the guest hosts are looking for a challenger for John Cena. He says he understands the terms of his match last night, and he doesn't care. He is a former champion, and he is entitled to a rematch. He says he will take his case to the board of directors to get back what is his. Kofi interrupts on the titantron, and says Orton doesn't get it. He lost, its over, no one wants to hear him talk. Orton tells him to come say it to his face, but Kofi says he already is. We see that Kofi is standing on Orton's car, which just infuriates Randy. Kofi then says the wonderful thing about these stockcars's are they are so durable, and he's going to show him how durable they are. He keys the car, and then bashes the hood with a tire iron. He says he really screwed up the paint job, and wants to make it right. He then grabs a bucket of paint and pours it all over the hood and says Orton has never looked better. Where the hell has that been for two years? Amazing promo and delivery from Kofi. Why stick that guy with a Jamaican gimmick?
-Is there anything better than the local pro sports team fake fighting in the crowd? Anything?
Evan Bourne vs. The Miz
Eve Torres serves as guest ring announcer for this one for reasons that can't adequately be explained. Miz opens up with a boot to the chest, and then delivers a legsweep to a charging Bourne for one. Miz sticks a knee to the throat of Bourne, and follows up with a back suplex for two. Miz grabs a double arm chickenwing from a seated position which just looks sick, but Bourne comes free and rolls through a sunset flip delivering a double knee to the face for two. Bourne delivers a series of kicks, and a spinning hurracanrana for a two count. Miz fires Bourne into the corner and delivers a series of shoulder blocks, but here comes Swagger to get a closer look. Miz fires Bourne into the top turnbuckle, but Swagger interrupts on the mic. He says no one is watching Miz's match, but everyone is watching Eve. Then he corrects himself and says Eve is actually just watching him. Its hard to take your eyes of an All American American you know. Eventually the action gets a little close to Swagger, and Miz comes outside to have words with him. While they're jawing Bourne slingshots over the top taking both men out, and then slides back in for the count out at 4:16. Nice cheap win for Bourne, as he has fallen into total jobber mode only getting cheap wins via count out. Interested to see where this Swagger/Miz stuff is going though. Winner: Evan Bourne (Count Out **)
-Make sure that 7 second delay is ready. Ozzy & Sharon Osbourn are your guest hosts next week.
Jamie Noble vs. Sheamus
Jamie Noble is alive! And he's about to job to Sheamus in his debut. Sheamus says he's here to make an impression, and then delivers a shoulderblock sending Jamie crashing to the floor. Sheamus goes out after him and throws him back inside delivering a pair of elbow drops for two. Sheamus picks up Jamie in a Canadian Backbreaker, but Jamie is able to elbow his way out of there. Sheamus fires him into the corner, but misses a charge. Noble goes for a rollup, but that fails and Sheamus is back on offense. Sheamus drops an elbow across the back of the neck, and then drops a knee across the back of the neck. A pair of backbreakers connect, and that is followed by a jumping big boot to finish at 2:15. Who ordered the squash? Winner: Sheamus (Pinfall-Big Boot ½*)
The Big Show (w. Chris Jericho) vs. Triple H (w. Shawn Michaels)
Jericho really needs to lug the Bragging Right's trophy everywhere he goes. Like Owen with his Slammy's. Triple H is back to being wacky DX Trips this week after his cameo as the Game last week. He's turning into the new Mick Foley. Trips calls for the mic after the bell rings, and he tells Show that the hosts forgot to tell him that it was now a lumberjack match. The lumberjacks just happen to be all the Raw guys who Show screwed over last night. Jericho hilariously bails with trophy in hand wanting no part of that crowd, and Shawn has more to say. He says this is not only a lumberjack match, but its also a no disqualification lumberjack match which means they can do whatever they want to him. HBK dismisses Charles Robinson as they have a special ref for this one, and its none other than John Cena. Cena comes out with his ref shirt, and HHH clotheslines Show to the floor as we head to commercial. Back from break with HHH hammering Show, and delivering a double boot. HHH locks in a sleeper hold, but Show throws him off casually. Show goes for a splash in the corner which misses, and HHH goes for a slam but Show collapses on top of him for a two count. HHH stops a backdrop with a boot to the face, but hits the ropes and runs into a spear. Show steps on the throat of HHH, and then the sternum and has stern words for the Raw roster. Show delivers a chop in the corner, and HHH pays tribute to his mentor with a Flair Flop. Show walks across his back, but HHH fights back with a series for right hands. HHH hits the ropes but runs into a side slam from Show picking up two. Show goes to the default fat guy offense with a trapezes nerve pinch. He follows that up with a series of headbutts, and a bodyslam. Show hits the ropes, and gets tripped up by Chris Masters. That might have been a mistake Masterpiece. Show pulls him into the ring, and delivers a knockout punch. The distraction allows HHH to start his comeback though delivering a facebuster, and then hitting the ropes with a series of collisions. Show catches him for a chokeslam, but HHH counters into a DDT for two. Show misses an avalanche, and HHH goes for the pedigree. Show counters into a backdrop, and the goes for the Vader Bomb which connects. Cena goes to count, but stops at two with a sore arm. Show gets all up in Cena's grill, and then here comes the Raw team. Show fights them off until Mark Henry delviers an avalanche, and MVP hits the drive by. Bourne delivers the Air Bourne, and here comes Santino. Santino of course fails miserably and gets a chokeslam, but Kofi doesn't delivering Trouble in Paradise. Cena then hits the Attitude Adjustment, and HBK tunes up the band for sweet chin music as they put a Smackdown shirt on Show. Trips delivers a pedigree after the superkick, and that finishes things at 14:16. Crowd went batshit for the finish. Cena and DX stand in the ring, and here come the NASCAR guys. Kyle says they're here to announce John Cena's opponent. He says they just couldn't come to an agreement until they found one guy who set them straight. Out comes Hornswoggle, and Busch announces that at Survivor Series it will be a triple threat between Shawn Michaels, Triple H, and John Cena! That's all for tonight. Winner: Triple H (Pinfall-Raw Finisher Medley **1/2)
-I'm sure many are going to complain about the Survivor Series main event, but Shawn being in there guarantees the match will be great. I'm not big on Show vs. Taker, but the Kofi-Orton feud looks intriguing. Still think we're setting up for the reverse Orton-Evolution story with Legacy, but apparently they're just not ready for it yet. All in all good show despite god awful guest hosts. Intrigued at where this is headed for sure.
The MNF game this week looks like crap, so RAW's ratings should be pre-MNF now (which are crap too but I guess less crap).
I will do something more productive and then read results, unless this show looks really good from the live coverage on here.

Posted By: Bill (Guest) on October 26, 2009 at 09:17 PM
That opening segment was an embarrassment. Kyle Busch was so bad on the mic, he made Ken Patera look like The Rock.
Posted By: Mike (Guest) on October 26, 2009 at 09:19 PM
Show v Taker??? Hope they have better than that for the Series...
Posted By: Guest#0262 (Guest) on October 26, 2009 at 09:20 PM
yeah these two nascar guys make me want to change the channel...that Kofi Johnson thing really pushed it...almost like Summerfest...I think its time to end this whole guest host thing
Posted By: Guest#4755 (Guest) on October 26, 2009 at 09:25 PM
Bring back Adamle he always got Kofi's name right. Kofi JAMACIAN ME Crazy! Although how jilted would Adamle feel to find out he is from Ghana has no accent and no real ties to Jamaica. BOOM BOOM BOOM.

Sparky Plugg reference or we riot.

At least Busch caught himself before making a COMPLETE idiot out of himself
Posted By: CJ47 (Guest) on October 26, 2009 at 09:31 PM
Ok, so the delivery in the opening promo by these NASCAR guys was weak, but if they had better talkers for that, it would have been awesome. Plus good to see Jericho coming out with that trophy. Good thing he got the pin last night; he gets some new material.
Posted By: Guest#4734 (Guest) on October 26, 2009 at 09:40 PM
Taking bets now for next year in the main event who will Kofi Johnson face at Summerfest?
Posted By: Guest#7316 (Guest) on October 26, 2009 at 09:40 PM
Kofi was involved in chasing away Legacy last night and dealt with Cody all night. It is not random. Watch the shows.

We will have a fresh new title feud after tonight. Instead of John Cena vs Randy Orton, how about this for a dream match:
Randy Orton vs John Cena

Anyone know who's my opponent at Summer Fest?
Posted By: Kofi Johnson (Guest) on October 26, 2009 at 10:11 PM
So Seamus has been moved from ECW to RAW, thus stopping his feud with Shelton Benjamin before it actually goes anywhere. Why is it that every time ECW gets something really entertaining going, it is immediately killed? See also: Evan Bourne, Hart Dynasty as next dominant force, or every compelling ECW title feud that got turned into a 20 second PPV joke.

Can we just have the winners of this tag match in a fatal 4 way with Miz and Swagger, then just when they're about to start that match for #1 contender have HHH come out and bury those guys like he did before the Scramble (or Chamber?) when he was still on Smackdown?

that was fine work by mr. orton and kingston in a situation that could have been very very awkward and made it only slightly awkward. now kingston-orton gets its change to be cena-miz ii.

Now this repackaging thing has to stop. First they make him for Ghana, then he drops the accent and now he is renamed Johnston instead of Kingston.

Kofi Kingston the first guy on raw to break the glass ceiling it seems since like Edge did back in 05-06.
I loved it and the crowd reacted well
nice to see it too since Kofi is only 28 and thts pretty young for wrestling standards

Nice promo Kofi, save for you almost shredding your leg through the windshield, and then giving yourself an orange facial
Posted By: Gaurilla Unit (Guest) on October 26, 2009 at 10:29 PM
Holy shit!
Kofi looks like he is getting the Jesus push.
Rule breaking tweener is the biggest babyface wwe push around.
I would be shocked if it gets followed through, but it's a big move.

Does anyone know who my opponent at Summer Fest is??
Posted By: Kofi Johnson (Guest) on October 26, 2009 at 10:31 PM
Looks like Kofi's getting the push up the card which is cool. I just wish MVP would get a decent push. He is dying on Raw & just can't catch a break.
And a side note: Randy Orton's junk is apparently sponsored by Toyota.

They'd better just name Jericho the #1 contender to Cena!

Kofi is now my pick for the Royal Rumble. :D
Posted By: C. (Guest) on October 26, 2009 at 10:36 PM
Sounds like they're giving Kofi a push now. Could be intresting. If WWE is clever they might want to work in the fact that he does well in the multiman free for alls into his career in the future.

I totally marked out for the Johnston/Orton spot. Fuck that looks interesting.

its about that time to end this guest host stuff!

Where was the fresh count when Bourne slingshot outside the ring?
Posted By: Guest#6009 (Guest) on October 26, 2009 at 10:39 PM
Melina looks nice...but really, she and the rest of the Divas should be restricted to dark matches until their botch rate decreases. Seriously.
Posted By: IWC Member #901001 (Guest) on October 26, 2009 at 10:40 PM
Damn! Kofi was awesome in that promo on the car! Who the hell in 'creative' put a Jamaican gimmick on this man? If they weren't in a need to elevate guys up the card we would have never know that he could act so damn well. Creative = my missing left nut!

What lazy booking in the Bourne/Miz match. Bourne leaving the ring to hit a plancha on Swagger & Miz should have clearly broken the count, but the ref continued his count uninterrupted. If you're gonna give Bourne a "jobber win," at least make it consistent with the rules. In kayfabe terms, The Miz got screwed.

Kofi Johnson. What Did Kofi Kingston and Jimmy Johnson have a lovechild somewhere

That is a disturbingly pale man.

Wait, steroid albino Adam Savage is now a raw wrestler?
Posted By: Dave (Guest) on October 26, 2009 at 10:55 PM
Is there any chance the SummerFest and Kofi Johnson slipups are actually planned?
Unfortunately I don't have the chance to watch just read the reviews so I don't know the reaction in the ring to these "mistakes"
Posted By: incarcerated (Guest) on October 26, 2009 at 10:55 PM
Oh, you guys are so funny, repeating a screw up someone made on a TV show. How long do we have to wait for this poor excuse for a meme to die?
Posted By: Anonymous (Guest) on October 26, 2009 at 10:57 PM
Guys, I messed up Randy Orton's NASCAR. And now I'm main eventing Summer Fest.
Posted By: Kofi Johnson (Guest) on October 26, 2009 at 11:00 PM
Raw superstars sure are stupid... no DQ and none of them are using weapons or anything?
Posted By: Guest#2125 (Guest) on October 26, 2009 at 11:00 PM
Ozzy & Sharon? That's a train-wreck waiting to happen. Happy to hear about Kofi, I'll try and catch that when I can.

Everyone needs to get the stick out of their ass about a flub from the guest host. Most these guys aren't public speakers, and if they make one slight screw up that they immediately correct, it's not that big a deal. The only people who care are the hypocrites on the internet who probably piss themselves giving a report in front of their 20 classmates in history class.

Mark Henry, MVP, Ezekial Jackson, R-Truth- THE NEW NATION OF DOMINATION
William Regel, Drew McIntire, Shemus, Paul Burchill-THE IRA

I'm still trying to figure out if Kyle was supposed to be working as a heel. The typically way overbooked main event in that situation went as expected, except I was kind of surprised that Show was dominating that much.
Posted By: Guest#6707 (Guest) on October 26, 2009 at 11:13 PM
cena vs. hhh vs. hbk um wow the same thing as a few months ago just without orton! this is the best they can come up with?
so the survivor series card as of now:
Taker vs. Big Show (World Title)
Cena vs. HHH vs. HBK (WWE Title)
Batista vs. Mysterio (maybe?)
Orton vs. Kofi Johnson (maybe?)
Posted By: Guest#4040 (Guest) on October 26, 2009 at 11:14 PM
OK, Logic bomb: If the HHH/BigShow match is no-DQ why didn't one of these guys just kick the other in the nads and get the three count?
Posted By: Anthony_McMannequin (Guest) on October 26, 2009 at 11:14 PM
Who's idea was it to bring in the NASCAR drivers?
If there's another sport entertainment that's dying it's NASCAR. They don't even have an EA game anymore!
Posted By: The Dutch (Guest) on October 26, 2009 at 11:18 PM
When I guest host Raw in a couple of weeks, I will be booking the ultimate dream match:
Kofi Johnston vs Jeff Harvey in the first ever "Jamaican Me Crazy" match
So what Jamaica's finest Marijuana on a pole match.

Did you not just see Dumb and Dumber host tonight? Rosie O'Donell and Trump would make better hosts then those imbreds.

Because this isn't TNA and WWE is PG. I thought for sure HHH was going to find a sledgie somewhere. But instead we get everyone on the roster getting to use their finisher on Big Show.

Look bro, Kofi Johnson has taken off like a rocket and it's gonna land at Summer Fest.

Standing in front of a class I'm not being paid. I'm not being put over hugely if WWE mentioned those Nascars one more time I was going to puke. One mistake forgivable? Standing in front of a class I would have studied and not made that mistake. These guest hosts are a joke and are ruining the Raw show even worse then Supercena. One mistake forgivable? I never heard ANYONE once mistake the guest host names. They could have given the same respect they didn't have too many lines. Which is actually smart.

Who is that creative? I was just waiting for Kofi to turn around, grab himself, and scream, then turn into a cat and leave.
Posted By: Guest#9088 (Guest) on October 26, 2009 at 11:46 PM
I just can't wait for next week when Ozzy is going to confuse Jack Swagger as his son so we can have Kofi Johnson vs. Jack Osbourne at Summer Fest
Posted By: internet meme (Guest) on October 26, 2009 at 11:52 PM
Well the good news is Ozzy is ghosting next week so we won't even know if he messes up any names or PPV titles because we wont be able ti understand a word he says anyway. Even with closed captioning on it is a bunch of gibberish when they try to decipher what he is saying.
But if he doesn't bite the headoff something he shouldn't get to sell whatever it is he is trying to push. Hopefully the head of that dog that his wife carries around.
