Thoughts:
Man, this show just gets worse by the week. I’m not a boxing fan, nor British, so I have no clue who Ricky Hatton is, but he was about as boring of a guest host as one could possibly be. No fault of his though, it’s not his element. The problem here can only be blamed on WWE, for continuing the embarrassment that is the celebrity guest host bullshit. No one cares about these half-ass celebrities, they don’t increase the ratings so it completely nullifies any “exposure” you get from some media outlet. It’s time to end this epic failure, name a real general manager, and pull this show out of the toilet. Shitty celebrities and embarrassing segments involving them quit being mildly entertaining with Donald Trump.
Speaking of shitty segments and embarrassments, Hornswoggle’s act has long since worn out its welcome with me. I know it’s a PG product now and they gear it towards the moronic kids who for some reason love Horny, but he should have been future endeavored long ago.
The divas match was horrible. Sorry Kelly Kelly, you’re hot as hell, but a wrestler you are not. Just quit pretending to be, ditto to you Alicia Fox. Just let these chicks be someones valet, and let the women who actually know how to wrestle do the wrestling. That’s really not asking for much, is it?
The only good thing about this show is Randy Orton/Kofi Kingston continuing their feud and building towards Survivor Series, and the tension between Jack Swagger and The Miz. And of course Chris Jericho, but that’s a given considering he’s the definition of awesome and all that.
In conclusion, this show was a terrible waste of two hours. Hopefully next weeks show will bounce back from this turd, and why wouldn’t it, they’re debuting their new RAW theme… by Nickelback. That just oozes suck. At least we’ll get a should be cool main-event (DX vs. JeriShow vs. Cena/Taker) in the process.

You are so right. I can’t stand the guest host crap, divas matches and the hornswoggle crap. they shouldn’t have let go of Jeff Hardy. they need real wrestlers. A real General manager and real matches and better chaNMPIONS. SOMEONE HWO HAS NOT BEEN CHAMPON. The Big Ben show was alright.
