Raw could be good or it could be really bad.

I think Freddie will do ok, but I think the Orton and Cena Vs. Jerishow, will be good, and I hope that DX will do something to Legacy, But actully, I think it could be a interesting show, even though you know that everything that happens is a Vince McMahon idea, and until that changes we still will have the same old stupid storylines over and over again,

But all in all I hope WWE has something great in store for Raw this week with Summer-(fest)-slam is this coming up weekend.

Speaking of which, what does everyone think of Freddie Prinze Jr as guest host?

I cant recall any movies or shows on where i have seen Freddie Prinze Jr.

Nevertheless, i have enjoyed most guest hosts so far. I liked Shaq, and i enjoyed Piven with Dr. Ken. I am one of the few people who has enjoyed the guest hosts.

I watched the footage of the match from the last time Cena and Orton tagged against the Raw Roster, and if Cena turned heel some day, they would be an awesome tag team. I love that Additude Adjustment into the RKO thing they do.

Think about this. If Cena didnt have his finisher name changed, what would they finisher be called with Orton's RKO?

This hasn't been confirmed, so I'll put it as a spoiler...

[spoiler] WWE wrestler Evan Bourne hinted that he will be facing The Miz on tonight's Raw with an opportunity at Kofi Kingston's U.S. Title.

Bourne was booked for the local FOX affiliate this morning to promote tonight's Raw in his hometown of St. Louis. Bourne cut a "made for local TV" promo on The Miz and suggested he's going to request a U.S. Title match from Raw guest host Freddy Prinze, Jr. anyways.

WWE has not announced a title situation for Raw and plans could change right up until showtime, but it appears Bourne will be inserted into the U.S. Title picture tonight. Source: PWTorch.com [/spoiler]

Damn, Prinze looking old.

Screw you guys, I found Santino entertaining, Prinze knows what he's doing, and Orton just killed the guest host. Raw is starting out halfway decent for once...LEGOslayer

That was WrestleCrap bad. Nice Shockmaster reference, though.

Otherwise, what I will say is that Prinze seems to be genuinely excited to be there. Not his fault the material is crap here.

Well at least Prinze is not Seth Green :Plilhbk

Or Jeremy Piven.

I am guessing this is the match that was going to be on SummerSlam.

I don't appreciate having the Miz wearing speedos just like Jericho.lilhbk

Well WWE, you never fail to impress with the choice of finisher names.

I must say, for Raw standards, both Carlito-Kofi and Bourne-Miz were good stuff.

Now, only if Shawn would superkick the monkeys backstage responsible for this BS...Link256

DX matches aren't cool because of the domination rubbish. However, I am a sucker for the comedy skits. Only time I actually care about what HHH is doing, and they get Legacy to take 'em down.

I admit, something new to actually disrupt a return in that way, but man, was a bit of a disappointment for me.

I agree that the Santino stuff was great. :)

I also have liked the matches so far I think WWE Raw this week has been really great. IMO:D

Well like I say, credit to the WWE for doing something different.Redders1989

Cena, you are not The Rock. Please stop.Link256

What happened there? Screen went black and some siren thing went off :?Redders1989

While I am favor of doing a non-finish for MVP-Swagger at this point and time, that has got to be perhaps lamest way going about it. I mean, are they for real? DQ for kicking too much ass?

Whatever.
