Tha' WWE Summerslam 2007 thread

[CSL]

<font color=white>Figured i'd kick it off since the pre-show has started.

Should be at least a decent show. Potentially good stuff.

For the record, the theme song is doing my head in.</font>

[St. Jimmy]

Triple H. That is all.

[Ben Rodrigues]

Here we go. Start Game.

[Johnny Vegas]

damn i want to order it...somebody keep it up to date for us plzz!!

[IC Champion]

*post*

[IC Champion]

I wanna see HHH under 250. Be nice to see him without his chub.

[CSL]

Finlay got new boots. Booooo.

[Johnny Vegas]

My points of the night:

-Cena has GOT to lose tonight

-I am REALLY mad because i'm going to miss the Punk/Morrison & Hardy/MVP match.

-Umaga v. Kennedy v. Carlito will make or break two of these men for the future of WWE. If they can't carry a triple threat match, then they aren't main event material.

- Hopefully somebody will keep us posted on shit.

-It's been a looong time since i've felt pumped about a WWE PPV. And HHH coming back isn't the best thing in the world, but its kind of fresh to see him back. Hope he doesn't HOG the fucking title scene and go on a squash-capade.

[KingofOldSchool]

-I am REALLY mad because i'm going to miss the Punk/Morrison & Hardy/MVP match.


Don't worry, everyone else is going to miss Hardy/MVP since it's not even on the card.

[CSL]

Nice quick little opener from Kane & Finlay. Everything an opener should be.

[Johnny Vegas]

Don't worry, everyone else is going to miss Hardy/MVP since it's not even on the card.


lol goooooood damn

[CSL]

Santino :D

And there's gonna be some sort of competition between Hardy & MVP.

IC 3 way up next.

[CSL]

Umaga retains in another not bad match.

Undertaker VP for Unforgiven. So is there going to be ANYTHING different about his 427th return from all the others?

Rey up next.

[Kane Knight]

***Umanga.

[Dave Youell]

Why is Rey Silver

And Tubby?

[CSL]

The Silver Surfer has replaced Rey.

I think he's been off the gas.

[Ironballs]

Rey got pretty fat

[Volchok]

haha Rey looks so stupid.

[Dave Youell]

Oh noes! His body paint is coming off, his powers are leaving him!

Been pretty good so far

[CSL]

Hasn't missed a step yet though.

[ClockShot]

LOL!


The fuck happened to Mysterio? He got big and he's all decked in silver.

[Volchok]

Wouldn't it suck if Rey hurt himself again lol.

[Dorkchop]

So I take it Rey is not on the roids then?........

[IC Champion]

Rey is some fat.

[Dorkchop]

So I take it Rey is not on the roids then?........

[Ironballs]

that rko on the chair was nasty

[Ironballs]

that rko on the chair was nasty

[Ironballs]

that rko on the chair was nasty

candice's music fucking suuuuuucks.

sorry about the double post

[CSL]

Layla botched a back bump :|

[CSL]

Well this fucking sucks. But that was to be expected. WWE has like 10 too many 'divas'.

[CSL]

Ben Phoenix wins a suckfest.

[Ironballs]

BALLIN!!!!!!!!!

[CSL]

Beer drinking contest.

[IC Champion]

Every black man in the WWE was just in one room.

[CSL]

Trips looks fantastic.

[IC Champion]

Every black man in the WWE was just in one room.

[IC Champion]

HARLEM HANGOVER!!!!!!!

[Jordan]

What is with all the 8 minute matches??!??!

[CSL]

Rundown so far for those not watching:

Kane bt. Finlay
Umaga bt. Ken Kennedy & Carlito
Ron Mysterio bt. Chavo
Beth Phoenix won the Diva bollocks
John Morrison bt. CM Punk
Triple H bt. Booker T

First 3 matches were good, other 3 haven't been that great. Triple H is clearly rusty. Looks like Triple H circa 2000 bodywise. Big ass pop. Shock horror. Morrison/Punk was pretty shit. Gay finish.

It'll be the World Heavyweight title borefest next.

WTF has been up with this place?

[CSL]

Steve Austin bt. MVP in a beer drinking contest by forfeit too.

[CSL]

Why put your World title on somebody you don't trust on live fucking TV?

Shitty finish.

Looks like Orton/Cena is gonna go 20+ minutes

[IC Champion]

I was really looking forward to Bats being buried.:-\

[St. Jimmy]

Triple H :love:

[IC Champion]

Why put your World title on somebody you don't trust on live fucking TV?

Mind Boggling if you think about it.

[Ironballs]

Does anyone know Khali's translator's name? He just showed up one day with no introduction.

[CSL]

Why the fuck aren't Mae & Moolah dead yet?

Vince deserves a medal for going through with that.

And LOL @ Regal calling Mae a 'silly old moo'.

[CSL]

:lol:

Vince is god.

[Ironballs]

If Cena doesn't lose the title this ppv was a bonafide waste of money.

[Jordan]

How is the match thus far?

[CSL]

Crowd is hottt.

Big booing for Cena's headlock and tackle :D

Pretty sure there's a 'Let's go Randy' chant :lol:

BIG pop for a Randy Orton headlock and tackle!

[IC Champion]

Sounds about 50/50 Cena.

[IC Champion]

Half paid to see him lose. Half paid for see him win.

[Ironballs]

rest hold fest

[mrslackalack]

IF Cena loses expect 10 headlines by Boone on it

[CSL]

This crowd is all over Cena. Everything Orton does is cheered. All of Cena's is booed. RKO chants. Pretty great :D

[IC Champion]

The Smarks are always the most vocal though.

[CSL]

Sounds about 50/50 Cena.

<font color=white>Are you watching the same show?!</font>

[CSL]

The Smarks are always the most vocal though.

<font color=white>'Tis beautiful :D</font>

[IC Champion]

The place will go nuts if Cena wins.

[CSL]

They'll be even louder if it's Orton.

[mrslackalack]

Considering most of the faces have won tonight maybe its a sign Orton wins.

[CSL]

Orton getting his Ronny Garvin on :D

[mrslackalack]

I am dumbfounded both Morrison and Khali are still champs. I bet most every1 would have predicted at least one of them losing the title.

[IC Champion]

I have a feeling someone is gonna interfere.

[CSL]

I am dumbfounded both Morrison and Khali are still champs. I bet most every1 would have predicted at least one of them losing the title.

I thought Punk would go over :-\

[CSL]

Cena just gave Orton his receipt :lol:

[mrslackalack]

I guess to continute the Punk/Morrison feud they could say Morrison cheated to win tonight.

[CSL]

If they pick up the pace now, this could be very good.

[mrslackalack]

Weird booking for Summerslam tonight with many of the speculations and predictions wrong.

[IC Champion]

Block Buster!

[RP]

cena wins

[mrslackalack]

I have heard this was a Summerslam that started well but faded out as the show progressed

[IC Champion]

No way Cena loses cleanly.

[IC Champion]

Its OVER!

[IC Champion]

TAP!!!

[IC Champion]

TAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ironballs]

RKO!!!!! FUCK, cenas winning now

[IC Champion]

Im happy he won to be honest, Orton wouldnt be any better.

[CSL]

Fuck.

Was a very good match though.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Fuck WWE. They fucked this whole show up.</font>

[D Mac]

GODDAMMIT I KNEW CENA WOULD FUCK ME OVER. :mad:

[Ironballs]

its not even the fact that its cena, its just that its been SOS for a couple years now.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Not looking forward to the September 17th Raw. "I'VE BEEN CHAMP FOR A YEAR YEAHHHHHHH"</font> :mad:

[mrslackalack]

Think WWE might pull a curveball and have Orton win the title tomorrow night on RAW in the rematch?

[CSL]

<font color=goldenrod>Not looking forward to the September 17th Raw. "I'VE BEEN CHAMP FOR A YEAR YEAHHHHHHH"</font> :mad:

<font color=white>If he's still champ. Wouldn't be suprised to see a rematch @ Unforgiven.</font>

[mrslackalack]

Well supposely now rumors are that Cena will drop the title to Mr. Kennedy or HHH because right now thats what the WWE wants for the ME at WM 24 for the WWE title.

[Ironballs]

Think WWE might pull a curveball and have Orton win the title tomorrow night on RAW in the rematch?

ummmm.... no

[D Mac]

I still say heel Cena vs face HHH at Mania.

[D Mac]

Dammit Orton you dropped my Tipsters ball. :mad:

[mrslackalack]

All THREE champs retained that sucks.

[CSL]

Since they're running with this paternity stuff, I'd like to see Vince screw Orton in a title match with Cena, revealing Cena to be the spawn. Be a nice swerve. Or unexpected at least.

[mrslackalack]

Looks like Unforgiven might be all Summerslam rematches and Takers return vs Henry

[Jordan]

YESSSSSSSSS

[mrslackalack]

Where would you put this Summerslam with ones from years past?

[Gerard]

Where would you put this Summerslam with ones from years past?


Up my fuckin ass so i can shit it out then shit on it some more. :mad:

[Mercury Bullet]

What a fucking load of horse shit. And that is my only comment regarding "Summerslam". Fucking. Load. Of. Horse. Shit.

[Jordan]

WHOA WAS THE THE BIGGEST PARY OF THE SUMMER OR WHATTTT

[Boondock Saint]

Wow, 1 page for Summerslam. That is sad. Sounded like a rather uneventful show.

[Shaggy]

Very shitty ppv.....the only thing I was happy about was that Khali retained....now we just have to sit through 4 more Khali Vs Batista main events before the belt changes hands (my guess is a punjabi prison match)

Why the hell couldnt they just give Orton the belt...Ive never been so unhappy with the WWE than I am right now..

[BigDaddyCool]

Um, this is kinda sad. ECW, a one hour show gets this many postes a week.

[SammyG]

Haha, told you Cena was gonna win :D

[FourFifty]

Maybe someone can turn this into its own thread, but I'd like to talk about 5 good things and 5 bad things about the PPV....

The Bad.

5. Rey's getup
After Chavo came out a few weeks ago as Rey I had to take a second look to see if it really was Rey. The dude should have just used his normal get up.

4. Damn!
After months of laughing I am now sick of the word "Damn!"

3. No titles moved.
This always upsets me. The titles should be a huge draw, and if titles aren't moving at PPVs then why should I bother? I'm not saying every ppv needs a major title change but it would be nice if the four big ppvs were treated as bigger events and not just house shows compared to WrestleMania.

2. Unforgiven next month
Three weeks until the next ppv? Now this isn't a problem with SummerSlam, but seriously, do we NEED another PPV this soon? The only draw they have is The Undertaker VS Mark Henry.

1. Cena is still champ.
I hate to say all the armchair internet bookers are right, but that man needs to drop the title, soon. If they want to set up a new face champion they need a heel champion for a while.


The Good

5. Rey's return
Okay, his getup ruined his pop, but unless it's Mark Henry it's always nice to see someone come back from an injury.

4. Vince is still God
Albeit I am NOT going to be able to look at chicken soup the same way again I laughed.

3. Free pizza with pineapple
This has nothing to do with WWE, but my friend's grandma bought pizza. She likes pineapple on her pizza, and so do I. She is the third person I know who likes pineapple on pizza.

2. Triple H's return
The match might not go down in history as a five star blockbuster. We're not seeing the next Ricky Steamboat/Ric Flair here, but it was nice to see Triple H return.

1. JBL
Need I say more?

[Xero]

Just reading this page sounds like it was shit on TV.

Live, though, it was pretty awesome. Cena/Orton was pretty damn great live, I must say. And I honestly thought Orton had it with the RKO... Silly me...

Anyway, quick rundown of the crowd responses live...

Crowd was pretty good for the dark match (Cade/Murdoch vs Kendrik/London - Murdoch/Cade over) then pretty much completely died until Rey/Chavo (except for Kennedy's entrance and a few spots). Then it died again until Austin came out. The Women's battle royal was obviously the piss break and the arena cleared pretty well.

Great response for The Game, as expected, but about two minutes before the match actually started it started to seem desperate and the crowd died for a few minutes. I was honestly surprised that this wasn't the semi-main event.

Of course, the crowd pretty much shit all over Khali/Batista except for a few spots including the Spinebuster and Spear (:roll: ). Definitely the worst match of the night.

How did the crowd come off for Cena/Orton? I wanted to say it was 50/50, but I think it may have been more 60/40 in Cena's favor.

By the way, what was up with that spot where Kennedy used the bell on Umaga (I think)? I assumed it would have been a DQ but that wasn't the case.

[Lara Emily]

People need to sell the Samoan Spike the way Kennedy did tonight, that Triple Threat match was the best match of the night and that says it all about Summerslam lol. You know I might not be so pissed that Cena retained again if it wasn't pretty much the same match we've seen from Cena at every PPV.

[Innovator]

Just got back...

I'll always have a good time live at a show...but what the fuck were they thinking?

[FourFifty]

Just got back...

I'll always have a good time live at a show...but what the fuck were they thinking?

I DON'T KNOWWWWwwWWwWWWWwwWWW!!!!!!!1!!1!!!!eleven!

The Triple threat match as No DQ

HHH entrance was weird after all the King of Kings crap he comes out to The Game and leaves to The Game weird.

[Xero]

The Triple threat match as No DQ

HHH entrance was weird after all the King of Kings crap he comes out to The Game and leaves to The Game weird.
Missed that it was No DQ. Did they make that on RAW or what?

Also, yeah, and especially since they actually used the opening riff to King of Kings (sans "Behold the King - The King of Kings") then went straight into The Game... I marked out when I heard the riff, then was like ":wtf: "...

[Lara Emily]

JR just randomly mentioned it during the match lol, guess they decided just before the match to make it no DQ

[Anybody Thrilla]

I thought triple threats were always no DQ. If somebody does something that would normally get them DQed, who would win the match? That would dick over the guy who had nothing to do with it (Carlito in this case).

[Mr. JL]

3. Free pizza with pineapple
This has nothing to do with WWE, but my friend's grandma bought pizza. She likes pineapple on her pizza, and so do I. She is the third person I know who likes pineapple on pizza.


I like pizza with pineapple too. :cool:

[Xerzes]

So...four title matches, in which, really, every title involved should have changed hands. And what happens? Not one changes. Super.

[Nervous Ferret]

lol Summerslam was tonight? Really? Come on really now?

[Tommy Gunn]

I can't believe I paid for this shit, this PPV had all the potential to be a classic but became the biggest disappointment of the summer.

I will never again pay for a PPV headlined by John fucking Cena. I'm just going to continue downloading WWE torrents so I can fast forward every second he appears in WWE programming.

Fuck you WWE.

[D Mac]

Same here man. Same here.

[D Mac]

Of course I will always buy the Rumble. But that's probably it.

[KingofOldSchool]

I'm boycotting ECW.


What a fucking joke.

[Evil Vito]

I'm boycotting ECW.


What a fucking joke.

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah. I can't take Punk seriously anymore. When he wins the belt it'll be a giant *yawn* from everyone because he choked every other chance. It's like they are trying to make him Tommy Dreamer or something

The way I see it...Unforgiven is gonna be a carbon copy of Summerslam. Khali/Batista has been confirmed to continue, Punk/Morrison will probably get another go because Morrison cheated, and Orton will somehow get another shot at Cena

WWE are truly out of ideas</font>

[owenbrown]

Well looks like I am boycotting WWE again after tonight's RAW :nono:

:foc: WWE and especially Vince McMahon and John Cena :foc:

[Loose Cannon]

pretty shit. thought about ordering it, but then realized I would be wasting $40.

watched Clash of the Champions II instead

[KingofOldSchool]

Yeah. I can't take Punk seriously anymore. When he wins the belt it'll be a giant *yawn* from everyone because he choked every other chance. It's like they are trying to make him Tommy Dreamer or something


And that's what is so shitty about it all, you have a guy (Punk) that the fans WANT to treat like a star. Then the company decideds to go out of their way and make Punk look like a joke, especially to a guy that the fans don't give a damn about (Morrison).

If only Mick Foley and Harley Race had pull within the company...

[RP]

Cena heel turn will be really good when they finally decide to do it. I mean everyone hates him so as soon as he does like The Rock and turns on the fans, he'll become alot more fresh. Maybe a double turn with Cena and Kennedy. But most likely it will HHH

Also, the thing about HHH is everytime he doesnt have the belt, and someone else does and sucks, i want HHH to get the belt back. Like, Cena sucks so bad that i actually talk myself into believing HHH is the shit again. But once HHH gets the belt, i'll be like " Oh FFS can someone else get a title reign!!".

[Innovator]

And that's what is so shitty about it all, you have a guy (Punk) that the fans WANT to treat like a star. Then the company decideds to go out of their way and make Punk look like a joke, especially to a guy that the fans don't give a damn about (Morrison).

If only Mick Foley and Harley Race had pull within the company...Punk got so buried last night I'm surprised he didn't wake up in Louisville, Kentucky.

[Xero]

Mike Johnson should sue you for using his material.

:shifty:

[Team Sheep]

Summerslam has been shit the past few years.

[Innovator]

Hey, its true

[Innovator]

And it sounds better than just saying Punks done.

[Xero]

Seemed more like a Florida burial to me...

[KingofOldSchool]

Seemed more like a Florida burial to me...

The harshest kind of burial...


A TNA burial.

[Innovator]

My friend who I was with talked about how giants are always entertaining. 2 minutes into the Khali match he looks at me and goes, "I take it back."

[Russenmafia]

Thought the PPV was crap. The only thing I really enjoyed the cryme time vignette. Regal dancing about in a baseball cap was ace.

Punk & Morrison put on another terrible match. These two have no chemistry and as good as they are, just cannot put a decent match on.

Cena vs Orton, not surprised that Cena won but I am well pissed off with all of those Orton rest holds. Can Randy only wrestle for 2 mins without taking a breather?

[Evil Vito]

And that's what is so shitty about it all, you have a guy (Punk) that the fans WANT to treat like a star. Then the company decideds to go out of their way and make Punk look like a joke, especially to a guy that the fans don't give a damn about (Morrison).

If only Mick Foley and Harley Race had pull within the company...

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah, and what sucks even more is that when Punk finally does win it and gets apathetic responses...WWE will probably blame him for it and back on Morrison it will go</font> :|

[DAMN iNATOR]

Maybe someone can turn this into its own thread, but I'd like to talk about 5 good things and 5 bad things about the PPV....

The Bad.

1. JBL
Need I say more?

Ok, so now we’ve got the good and the bad out of the way, let’s cut straight to the downright UGLY.

5. The “Divas” Battle Royal
What, they couldn’t find the time to make this a 10-minute filler match on RAW tonight?

4. Fabulous Moolah and esp. Mae Young
Vince”s reaction didn’t help one bit. Yes, he is 62, and she’s 84, but still...he says he ENJOYED it?

3. Khali v. Batista
Any match that has Khali as World Champion is going to be crap, no doubt about it, but when you’ve got a man like him on the roster, who could have easily won with any of his 3 finishers, but instead retains his belt with a cheap DQ off the chair shot?:nono:

2. Morrison v. Punk
Even MORE unwatchable than the World Heavyweight Title match.

1. Cena v. Orton ending
Boooooooooooring. And predictable. The only thing that kept me remotely interested in this match was all the outpouring of the fans support (well from all the 20+ y.o. guys, anyway) for Orton. Other than that, no matter HOW back and forth it was, it was still shit.

[mrslackalack]

During the few months in 06 HHH used the King of Kings theme until him and HBK reformed DX. He would use KOK as his music when he did a promo and used The Game theme song as his entrance when he wrestled.

[mrslackalack]

Not a great show at all. But it wasnt the worst Summerslam of all time.

[Mercury Bullet]

Not a great show at all. But it wasnt the worst Summerslam of all time.

I don't know, that might get my vote for worst Summerslam of all time. One of the worst PPV of all time. Everything about it sucked, with exception to the crowd participation in the main event. That was the highlight of the show, the fucking crowd reaction was the highlight.

Rey Mysterio was fat and covered in ring rust (maybe literally, apparently ring rust is silverish). Triple H's return and what should have been a fairly epic encounter with him and Booker was rather bland. CM Punk was effectively buried. I think last night has probably killed his credibility for the rest of his career (in WWE) now. Kennedy's push involves this much jobbing? I could not give a flying fuck about the Kane vs. Finlay match. Why the hell was that even on the card? I don't ever want to see Batista again. Ever. Again. Period. And at this point I hope Cena never loses the title until he retires. He might as well hold the fucking title forever and retire the belt with him. It's not like there is anything to redeem his overness or legitimacy any more.

You think Vince is tired of being in business, and instead of just retiring and passing it on or selling the company he wants to just run it into the ground? Remember during the Invasion when he said something to the effect of if anybody was going to destroy the WWE it was going to be himself? Well he's fucking do it.

[RGWhat316]

I thought it wasn't a terrible show, just shocked of how it seemed every single title would change, then none did. Morrison sucks, Khali sucks, and Cena sucks. All of their titles should have changed, and swerve, they don't. That's my biggest complaint. I thought for sure that Punk and Orton would be champion today.

HHH's return seemed kind of underwhelming. How can you promote a King of King's match without the music? Booker must still be the king if Hunter is still gonna be the game.
