So here I am sitting around just thinking. Normally I'd make a video about this but I want to not be limited with my time aloted me to post a video on You Tube. So my thoughts on WWE Raw.
At this moment and time Raw's entertainment value is down to me. HHH & John Cena are in the Main Event once again and the younger guys aren't getting pushed the way the need to be pushed. Evan Bourne is gonna get lost in the shuffle on Raw unfortunately. The plus to him being on Raw right now is I'm expecting good things out of him & Kofi Kingston in there US Title fued. But once that's over I don't know what his fate holds him from there.
The MVP vs Jack Swagger fued should be another good fued and you notice it's not a title fued. These two guys should be in the WWE Title picture. They would be a good fued with Randy Orton OR against each other for the title. Right now they're fighting each other which I'm ok with but I'd rather see this storyline progress rather than them wrestling one week and then being kept off the card for matches like Hornswoggle vs Chavo (Which is completely STUPID!)
Now who do I think should replace Cena & HHH in the title picture and possibly Orton for a short span of time? MVP, Jack Swagger, Miz (even though some people don't agree with that), Chris Jericho, and Ted Dibiase Jr. Now I did put Chris Jericho in there even though he's not a younger guy but he's not been in the WWE or World Title picture to the point where I'm tired of seeing him in it. Jericho is an AMAZING wrestler and he proved that with his matches with Rey Mysterio. I think with the list above of who should be in the title picture Jericho could have a great match with each of those guys. I mean think about it, Jericho vs Dibiase Jr, Jericho vs Miz, Jericho vs MVP, Jericho vs Jack Swagger. All those matches would be entertaining. Jericho is one of the top heels in the COMPANY. Make each one of those guys faces, if they're not already, and put them in a match with Jericho and you're almost guarantee that you're going to get a TOP PPV quality match out of it. Now mind you I'm just talking about Raw right now but if you wanted to throw the Smackdown guys in the mix I can think of at least 2 people on the Smackdown brand that need to be in the World title picture.
The thing with WWE Raw is that it's that it needs to get away from the same thing that we've seen over the past 5 or 6 years and get some new freash faces in there. In this 5 year span WWE could've been producing new main eventers to replace your Cena's and HHH's to keep the brand new and freash with fueds and what not, but instead they've allowed it to get stale and repetitive. I wanna see people like MVP, Jack Swagger, Miz, and Dibiase Jr in the WWE Title picture. I wanna seem them fighting each other instead of Cena or HHH and at times Randy Orton, but until WWE gets it in there head that we're getting tired of seeing the same stuff thrown in our faces we're gonna be seeing the same people in the Main Event EVERY PPV.
Now as for the Guest Host thing that they've got going on they need to quit with the celebrities. Seth Green caused me to turn the TV off when it got to the main event. His skits backstage weren't that good and he didn't really do anything besides "book" the main event. ZZ Top just sat backstage and jammed with Santino and honestly after the first 30-45 minutes of that I was tired of them as Guest Host. They "booked" two matches if I'm not mistaken. Now next week we're gonna have Shaq. Really, Shaq? I wouldn't be suprised if he put himself in a match against the Big Show. The Guest Host needs to be a wretling personality. When Ted Dibiase Sr did the show that was one of the better shows I had seen out of RAW and I actually thought there was hope after all for RAW to not be crappy. But then they started bringing the celebs in the following week. Even Batista was better than Seth Green & ZZ Top and that's saying something. Plus the week the announced ZZ Top as the Guest Host they teased that it was gonna be Dusty Rhodes. I fliped out because having Dusty Rhodes as the Guest Host would've been AWESOME! I'm a fan of Dusty Rhodes and a majority of the WWE Legends. Having them host would be great. It's always a good thing to see personalities from the past back on TV even if it is for short stint. Put Ricky Steamboat in there one week. Try to get Eric Bischoff in there one week. Roddy Piper the next. Whoever you get just make them a past or present wretling personality.
Now I do realize that the reason they're probably getting these celebs as Guest Host is to bring in more people for the audience but if you think about it if Seth Green hosts one week and ZZ Top the next. If you don't like ZZ Top more than likely you're not gonna watch and you're only gonna have those viewers for just one show so is it really worth the time to get them to come in if you're just gonna have a specific audience for one show? I say no. I would be aiming my program toward the current and past fans that they've had over the years and worry about giving them what they'd like to see.
Overall Raw needs to do quite a few things to keep people wanting to watch it. For there sake I hope that it's not too late
Thank you all for reading.
