Bob Barker COME ON DOWN!!!; MVP and Mark Henry Gain Momentum

The Legendary game show host of "The Price is Right," entertained the WWE Universe in a special night of RAW entitled: "The Price is RAW!"

The voice of Price is RAW was none other than WWE Hall of Famer, Howard "The Fink" Finkle. For those who are too young to know, Howard Finkle was the main ring announcer for WWF/E for it's first 30 years.

Bob Barker started the show in true game show fashion by having Fink call out the contestants to guess the price.

The contestants were: Santino Marella, Jillian Hall, Irwin R. Schyster (I.R.S.), and Chris!

Jericho was not at all pleased at being called Chris, "I am Mr. Jericho to you!"

The prize called into question was the Smackdown 10th Anniversary 3-Disc DVD Set available on Sept. 15th.

Mr. Jericho ended up winning the guess with $1 and had the chance to win an all-expense paid vaction to Hawaii - being displayed by the lovely Bellas in grass skirts - yes I know... great stuff.

All Jericho had to do was defeat his opponent and he could soak up the rays in sunny Hawaii.

Yet, that opponent was none other than Montel Vontavious Porter, MVP!

Last week, both MVP and Mark Henry had their respective matches with their opponents this Sunday, Chris Jericho and Big Show. MVP lost last week, and Mark Henry won via disqualification on the part of the Big Show.

This week the tables turned...

A match up between MVP and Chris Jericho is always fun to watch, because both are sound technical wrestlers and they have explosive personalities.

In addition, MVP is primed to become RAW's main eventer. Ever since he's face turn, the crowds have really been backing him up. I think the WWE should start plugging MVP in for the WWE Title hunt - you know, shake things up a bit. Isn't this why we have the draft every year?

MVP rolls up Jericho for the 3 count and gains momentum for this Sunday.

The following contest was to guess the prize of an All-Axxcess Gold Pass to WrestleMania XXVI, which Santino guessed the price.

Yet, Santino had the opportunity to win a hot tub - featuring the Bella twins in some nice red bikini's playing in the tub. Santino, you gotta love the guy, asked if they Bella twins came with the hot tub because he wanted to make Bella-Santino soup, ha!

All Santino had to do was win The Slam contest and he would be the proud owner of the tub. Well... easier said than down when your opponent is The Big Show.

Really? Big Show didn't even break a sweat, in one bodyslam - Show won.

But don't celebrate yet Show, because his next opponent for The Slam contest was his opponent for this Sunday - Mark Henry.

Last week, Big Show lost the match but it was Mark Henry who was laid out in the ring.

Now... A Slam Contest - I haven't heard of this concept since WrestleMania against Andre the Giant and Big John Stud for $15,000 in a bag.

Honestly, Santino was going to lose to Big Show - but Mark Henry can at least even it out and replicate the John Stud vs Andre match.

Proving that he is the Worlds Strongest Man, Mark Henry bodyslams the Big Show gaining momentum as well for this Sunday's Unified Tag Team Title bout.

It's easy to have all the momentum going into the match - so did Cryme Tyme - but when it comes down to it, this is not a singles match, it's the mark of how well you can communicate in the ring with one another. And unlike last time, Mayweather won't be their to pass a pair of brass knuckles.

So to MVP and Mark Henry, goodluck to your match this Sunday, you will need it.
