This Week On Raw:
They are continuing to build up Raw’s main event for Summerslam pitting John Cena against Chris Jericho with Cena’s WWE title on the line. Some people may be liking this feud but I find it stupid and the challenger is not worthy of this shot. I have no problem with Cena but Jericho, give me a break. This is a man that has said on many occasions he would like to retire soon and put full effrort into his band Fozzy. I have not seen him wrestle in at least a couple of weeks and when he does wrestle, he seems to lose or come close to it. We saw Cena defend his belt against Jericho in a 3 way also involving Christian at Vengeance and the only one who seemed to have a good match and hold up his end was Cena. Now, at one of the biggest PPVs of the year, Jericho is getting another chance at the gold and he doesn’t deserve it. One person who does is Shelton Benjamin. This kid was an amateur wrestler at the state of Minnesota and being an amateur wrestler myself in High School and seeing what I go through, it must be nothing compared to what Benjamin must have gone through. If this kid can survive amateur wrestling in college, he must be good. Don’t forget, when he first came to Raw in early 2004, he beat HHH twice, took Orton to the limit for his IC belt, and beat the legend Ric Flair. This guy back in October, beat the challenger for the WWE title that being Chris Jericho for Jericho’s IC belt at Taboo Tuesday and went on to hold it for 8 months and in that span, defended the belt against Jericho sucessfully. When Carlito first came over this year in the draft and challenged Benjamin for his IC belt, he got to beat him and successfully defend it against Benjamin at Vengeance. That whole incident seemed to downplay Benjamin and just last week, Carlito got a shot at Cena’s WWE title. Where is Benjamin’s title shot for the WWE title? He certainly deserves more than Carlito and way more than Jericho.
