WWE Monday Night Raw - July 27th, 2009 (Shaquille O'Neal to Host)

Are Dude and I the only people that noticed Bourne should be #1 contender or does no one else care?

I think it's a bad call by the wwe, to not let Bourne into the Championship Match.

LEGOslayer, IMHO, given Evan Bourne should be #1 contender. Just that, at this point, by standards are so low that I am grateful that Evan Bourne even won.

How cool would it be if we could get an "Evan Bourne: The Real #1 Contender" campaign going?

I wouldn't mind that really I think DX could make alot of ratings but I'm not sure they are PG able.wwe4ever_in05

only saw the final 30 minutes and that was just awful on all levels. well miz promo was good and speaks truth

main event sucked cena winning sucked rest of the show seemed like it sucked from what was said here.

I'm just going to cling to the (faint) hope that HBK pops up on Smackdown.

For the record, if anybody does happen to start a "Evan Bourne: The Real #1 Contender" campaign, I would be willing to put my name to it.

... Not that it will make any difference, because it will not.

Masters did pull a barrel roll.

Otherwise, I need to see more of him, to be honest.

After RAW went off the air, Randy Orton & The Big Show faced John Cena and Triple H. Orton walked out after tagging Show in. Cena gave him the FU and Triple H gave him the pedigree for the win after just a few minutes.

After the match, a birthday celebration was held for Triple H. Vince McMahon and the entire locker room came out for it. Triple H tried to escape but Vince got him to stay by threatening to sing. He thanked everyone and soon after everyone threw pastries at him. Batista then came out and Vince and Show held Triple H while Batista smashed a pie in his face, but he ducked and it ended up all over Show. Cake tossing was also involved.

Um, didn't Cena beat Bournes time anyway? I didn't watch the end but I think I read that he did.tman93

Bourne won in 3:40.

That match between Miz and Cena was BULL****. I actually thought Miz was going to put up a decent fight and it was going to be alot closer, especially after Miz knocking Cena out of the ring. He was knocked out, got back in, and the match was over.

I was thinking that. But the announcers made it VERY clear with all the repitition that only the 5 were involved, with the challengers being the "spoilers" for their opponants. Meaning Bourne was a "spoiler" in WWE's stupid rules. They should have it so all 10 stood a chance. More veriaty, better results. Stupid rules.

Next week

Handicap Buried Alive match!

I'm still waiting for the WWE to acknowledge Funaki as the uncrowned #1 Contender for the WWE title.Mu5uk0

That traces back to the Edge-Funaki poster for GAB 08, right?VanDerSar01

I think it was a few years ago but it was the exact same scenario just with Funaki replacing Evan Bourne.

Funaki beat... I think Shelton Benjamin in like a minute or something with a small package in the Beat the Clock challenge on Smackdown.

Of course, not the offical one.

Jim Ross on Shaq As The Host Of Raw: It was good seeing Shaq Monday while in D.C. taping the lone, SD bout for WWE Superstars, that was excellent BTW. Shaq was his regular, friendly self who had a legit fun time at Raw and enjoyed being around the talent. I was pleasantly surprised at how lean Big Shaq was which must mean that he is eagerly anticipating his season coming up with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Big Fellow really looked in excellent, physical condition. Shaq is a natural born performer and a true fan of WWE which all seemed to come through clearly to me on the Monday evening telecast.
