Usually I find it good when "Raw" goes all out and does several things, but to me at least, tonight just seemed like "Raw" was doing too much. Maybe it was the whole Jerry Springer junk that took entirely too much time away from "Raw."I'm not understanding this "thank you sir, may I have another," deal Legacy is working. Not only that, DiBiase takes his beating then beats Kofi. Kofi went from working with Randy to losing to Ted after Ted took a boot from the WWE Champ. Sometimes I think they forget what happened in previous segments. By they, I mean the writers.
How many car crashes can the WWE and its employees have? Seriously. Car crashes, car explosions. Save the cars for a huge angle every five, maybe even six years. It isn't like they do it every week, but when they use it, it always reeks of the prior incident.
I honestly think the only way to help "Raw" is the draft. Get people off "Raw." Make the roster smaller so everything isn't a huge cluster of "what the hell just happened," or, "what the hell happened to (insert worker here) wasn't he on "Raw" a week or two ago?"
Take Shame-on-us and draft him to FCW. Take Batista and send him to the Unemployment office. There are too many names on "Raw" and not enough time devoted to the guys that need their pushes. Too much time is devoted to the guys who got their pushes thirteen years ago.
How bad are non-title matches? Very is the answer you're looking for. It was nice to see MVPenry get the win, but one of two things will happen from this. They'll lose their title match and then get another non-title match and win, but almost as likely is that this win will be forgotten and MizShow will lose the titles to the PGA pairing of Dustin Johnson and Rory McElroy. I honestly don't even try to guess anymore.
Batista and Cena looks like it's going to happen again. I'll say the same thing I said then. Please God, don't let it. I honestly can't think of a worse match to watch. Does the E actually think that it's good television and/or good wrestling? I hope not, because if they do, they just need to quit.
Most entertaining part of the night? The ending. Really, I would love to say Santino, but it was so horribly Jerry Springer Show scripted that it just sucked. Why in the hell would anyone think that was a good idea? Next week Jewel and Ty Murray will be guest hosts.
I wonder if they'll bring out a mechanical bull? Ty by the way is a PBR guy. Not Pabst Blue Ribbon, professional bull riding. With his wife Jewel, a singer, I imagine that there will be a "Raw" reality show involving singing karaoke while riding said mechanical bull.
Tha Results:
* WWE Champion Sheamus def. Randy Orton by Disqualification
* Mark Henry & MVP def. Unified Tag Team Champions Big Show & The Miz in a Non-Title Match
* Ted DiBiase def. Kofi Kingston
* John Cena vs. Triple H ended in a No Contest

MVP and Henry should be billed as The Brothas Of Destruction.
You know a match sucks when people honestly think that Bret Hart vs. Vince McMahon would be a better match.
That episode of Raw was even worse than the one with the Little Peoples court....WTF do they think they're doing?
The Springer part was just painful to watch
