Vince will love this. All they care about is this circus act of celebrity hosts so now Floyd will come in there with a bunch of extra notoriety to boot. I'm betting they reach out to Micheal Vick to be a host not too long down the road. You watch. |

I only half watched most of it. Highlight was Mickie James boxing trunks almost falling off on a number of occasions. Everything else was either over the top tripe, or business as usual fluff. |

Eh, I was entertained by what I watched. I thought the opening segment was pretty funny. I'm not tired of DX (again) yet, so I can stand for them to come out and do some comedy. It's better than Floyd Mayweather coming out and doing the opening promo. I liked the format a little bit better tonight with the guest host, as he wasn't so much an on-air focal point. Since Floyd had some actual WWE history, it was more entertaining to see them bring up his past issues with Big Show, eventually leading to a tag title match. I like the emphasis being placed on the titles right now. You've got the tag titles with new contenders, putting MVP in the spotlight. Speaking of MVP, he got a nice little push tonight. Hope that continues. You've also got multiple guys who want to be US Champion, as if it were an honor or something...so that's nice... Was still not a good Raw, but it was better than it has been in terms of the direction and focus... For instance, we now have several feuds that actually have reasons to be feuds... MVP and Henry vs. Big Show and Jericho...has a reason to be happening Orton and Cena...now has a reason to be continuing Legacy-DX...now has a reason to happen US title...has guys who want to be that champ |

One problem Chad. How many times has the US title been on the line in the last 2 months? Compare that to how many segments Santino and Hornswaggle have gotten. |

They will continue to get segments, especially Hornswoggle, unfortunately. They cater to kids now, and the kids like Hornswoggle. I don't want to see anyone lose their job, but I wouldn't shed a tear if they released Horny. It is what it is though. As long as the kids pop for Hornswoggle we can expect to see him (in ways that none of us would ever dare book him, sadly). I thought last nights show was decent for what it was. RAW isn't a wrestling based show like ECW and especially Smackdown (and even Superstars). It's a variety hour circus that still gets good ratings. I enjoyed the Divas match (Mickie looked awesome, and Beth did as well), the MVP/JeriShow/Mayweather segment and the subsequent tag match, and the main event was kinda meh but still okay. The DX/McMahon stuff at the beginning dragged on a little too long, but I still chuckled through most of it. |

I hear ya, Snow... But one of my main gripes about Raw in recent weeks and months is that there is no direction to anything. If two guys are scheduled to fight, it's just there...there's nothing interesting... Last night I saw some direction for a change... |

I think that in terms of an actual show, they did pretty bad since more than 1/4th of the show focused on Vince's B-day (which we all should've been expecting anyway) but in terms of direction and build they actually did a pretty good job. Remember how the last RAW just didn't build up toward anything but DX/Legacy? WITH the second biggest PPV on the WWE calendar a mere six days away? Yeah, I'd say RAW's interaction with JeriShow/Nation of Domination, DX/Legacy, and Cena/Orton was pretty good. Also happy to hear that Randy Orton doesn't need to develop some super headlock for his match against Cena at Breaking Point. |

Monday Night RAW: August 31, 2009 - Tune in to Raw tonight to witness The American Dream, Dusty Rhodes, reign as special guest host. There’s no telling how funky the WWE Hall of Famer will get or what he has in store for his son, Legacy henchman Cody! - United States Champion Kofi Kingston has faced similar odds before, but can The Jamaican Craze endure a Fatal Four Way Match against Carlito, Jack Swagger and The Miz – who’s vowed to take the U.S. Title – live tonight on Raw? - Tonight on Raw, the four opponents from WWE Breaking Point’s Unified Tag Team Title Match collide in a pair of singles bouts. The World’s Strongest Man and The World’s Largest Athlete meet in a massive melee while Chris Jericho faces MVP. (WWE.com) Edited by Stinger, Aug 31 2009, 04:29 PM.

Three matches announced. - Kofi Kingston vs. The Miz vs. Carlito vs. Jack Swagger for the U.S. Championship - MVP vs. Chris Jericho - Mark Henry vs. Big Show Those first two matches should be good, especially if WWE gives them time. Poor Kofi, he's in there with three heels who want his title... pretty good for RAW's midcard. I like it. |
