Notes: All through the opening segment of Raw, I kept hoping that Bob Barker wouldn’t drop dead. However, the segment wasn’t as painful as I thought it would be. Howard Finkel called down four WWE Superstars to play “The Price is Raw”. The contestants were Santino Marella, Jillian Hall, Irwin R. Schyster, and Chris Jericho. They had to guess the price of “The Best of Smackdown” DVD in which Rosa Mendez brought out. Santino asked Bob Barker if he could buy a vowel, which was funny. Jillian Hall guessed $75 and I.R.S. guessed $50 on the DVD. Chris Jericho was less than cooperative. I frowned throughout the skit and gave a “what the hell am I doing here” look. Bob Barker fought with Jericho, until he gave him a $1 default bid. Well, Jericho eventually won the segment and qualified for a trip to Hawaii. First, he had to beat MVP.

Unfortunately for Chris Jericho, there won’t be a trip to Hawaii due to his loss to MVP.

D-Generation X did a segment with Bob Barker and Kelly Kelly. They briefly mentioned his “Happy Gilmore” appearance and touted themselves as big fans. They got to spin a faux big wheel…well it was really a button and a television screen.

We got to see a decent Chavo/Evan Bourne match. Thank goodness for it. However, the sweetness was cut short with Hornswoggle coming into the ring with a super soaker water gun. He distracted Chavo enough for Evan Bourne to grab him for the pin. The WWE needs to let go of this Chavo/Horswoggle feud.

Cody Rhodes came out to explain his inaction in protecting his father, Dusty Rhodes. He said that he loved his father, but he loved his career more. Ouch! Anyway, John Cena defeated Cody Rhodes. No surprise there. The crowd was pretty hot for Cena, because they kept chanting his name.

They did another “The Price is Raw” segment. Chicago White Sox catcher AJ Pierzynski (and former TNA wrestler) was the next contestant and bid $1000 on a package to WrestleMania 26. Santino bid correctly with $1200. Unfortunately for him, he faced a body slam contest with The Big Show. He lost and Mark Henry took his place for another Body Slam contest. The WWE did their best to hype MVP & Mark Henry as a tag team. Henry picked up The Big Show for a body slam and in the process won a hot tub (minus the Bella Twins).

The biggest low point of this episode was watching Chavo Guerrero getting his ass handed to him by Bob Barker. Chavo Guerrero is officially buried.

D-Generation X defeated Chris Masters & Randy Orton in good main event. Things got even more heated after the match when Legacy ran in and got into the mix. The brawl went backstage and outside arena. Meanwhile, John Cena ran into attack Randy Orton. Instead, he got his ass handed to him. Watching Orton destroy Cena was enjoyable. He could easily play a serial killer in a movie. Randy Orton is the top heel in his facial expressions, the way he moves, and the way he speaks. Raw topped off on a high point.

Overall, this episode was so-so. Bob Barker was a good guest host because he has had 35 years of television experience. However, the WWE needs to get rid of this guest host gimmick. I’m getting tired of it. Raw is supposed to be the flag-ship show. It is unfortunate that it continues to get worse and worse every week.
