[FourFifty]

RON KILLINGS IS HEADED TO SMACKDOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I NOW HAVE A SOLID REASON TO WATCH SMACKDOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT'S UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Not gonna lie to you, that's the greatest thing since D'Lo going to Raw.

[Juan]

Doesn't Ron Killings... um suck?

[FourFifty]

Ron Killings does NOT suck!!!!:rant:



...albeit I had a conversation about him with my sister (who isn't a wrestling fan). I said he was awesome because he sang his own theme music.... to which she responded "So does John Cena."
I was pwnd right there on the spot.

[RP]

The Great Khali vs HHH at Summerslam? What? Glad i didnt buy tickets to that peice of junk. Is that the best they can do? WOOOOOOOOOOOOW WWE is so bad. I cant believe people still watch this lame ass shit.

[U-Warrior]

Doesn't Ron Killings... um suck?


Nah, he's good. If you like unorthodox guys like jeff hardy, and rvd, you'll like killings.

[U-Warrior]

The Great Khali vs HHH at Summerslam? What? Glad i didnt buy tickets to that peice of junk. Is that the best they can do? WOOOOOOOOOOOOW WWE is so bad. I cant believe people still watch this lame ass shit.

Seriously. Out of all the choices they have, they pick khali. Anyone else in that battle royal would have been better. HHH vs khali would be alright for a minor ppv, but Summer Slam? Come on.

[RP]

SummerSlam? Really? Khali vs HHH for summerslam? Do they not want me to buy a ticket? Is this whats going on? Someone please tell me. Are they not trying to sell this pay per view? Seriously.

[SammyG]

Taker/Edge Hell in a Cell? I like!

[thedamndest]

A fifteen minute HHH promo would be better than Khali.

[KingofOldSchool]

The Great Khali vs HHH at Summerslam? What? Glad i didnt buy tickets to that peice of junk. Is that the best they can do? WOOOOOOOOOOOOW WWE is so bad. I cant believe people still watch this lame ass shit.

Honestly I think they are doing that so they can give Edge vs. Taker HIAC top billing.

I don't mind really, actually I think that just sold me on going.

[Innovator]

There goes my hope of MVP vs. HHH

[Innovator]

for now

[RP]

They could have ran a Jeff Hardy vs HHH program that would have written itself.

[RP]

Thats just retarded to be honest. Theres no way around it. Its plain retarded. Whoever does the booking for these clowns needs to be shot in the face in front of his family. Its that retarded. Vince McMahon obviouls has no fucking clue because if he did, that shit would not be happening. Khali ( god love him ) should be nowhere near a main event match. Whats being accomplished here? If they're trying to give Khali a rub, it wont work. He wont do nothing with it and they wont write him in any intresting storylines. Whats the point.

Thats the question here. Whats the point? Whats is being accomplished here? Do the writers or bookers even ask themselves this question? If so, this match would not be happening cause the obvious answer is nothing. Nothing is being accomplished. Khali isnt beating HHH and he sure is hell aint gunna be made to look good in this match and even if he is made to look good, it will be forgotten about the next night. Not by the fans, but by the writers and bookers and owners. So again I must ask. What the fuck is the point? This is Summerslam. This isnt Vengance. These people have no fucking clue what they're doing. Its tragic. I cant wait for wrestling to die.

[Splaya]

Well this eliminates the theory of the elimination chamber at SummerSlam.

[Londoner]

hhh v khali=retarded

taker/edge HITC=just saved the ppv

Seems like an alright show other than khali winning the battle royal.

[Ruien]

There goes my hope of MVP vs. HHH

MVP has not won a match in 3 months (On Smackdown. Beating Tommy Dreamer on Raw does not count.). Next he will be putting Jeff Hardy over.

[Ruien]

Ummm, India has become a nice market for the WWE right? Khali brings in most of those people, therefore hes going to be put in these matches from time to time.

[Ruien]

And on a other note.

Everyone has been complaining they see to much of Edge vs Undertaker/Bats. Now we get another match with Edge/Undertaker and you are all happy. They have done all there moves to each other, time and time again. The match will not be bad, but what happened to wanting things fresh? This goes out to everyone that says it will "Save the PPV".

[Londoner]

Ah shut up ruien. You can't have things new all the time, bringing taker back makes sense.

[DaVe]

Khali winning is obviously a massive disappointment. Hopefully they can somehow change this match before the PPV comes round, through whatever angle/story.

And yay for Taker. Slightly anticlimatic comeback, but oh well. Hopefully this angle can develop a lot more before the PPV comes round, too.

Ummm, India has become a nice market for the WWE right? Khali brings in most of those people, therefore hes going to be put in these matches from time to time.

I think Khali is like a superstar there, or something. Tens of thousands came out to Mumbai to see him, and he posed with absolutely MASSIVE superstars like cricketer Sachin Tendulkar. Non-Commonwealth-nation citizens probably have no idea who he is, but trust me: Sachin is freaking huge (metaphorically), and hence Khali must be mainstream there.

[Londoner]

I feel sorry for HHH having to compete against khali, why would anyone want to have to waste a match in their title reign v Khali?

[Juan]

I can only hope this HHH/Khali feud ends at SummerSlam :(

[Rammsteinmad]

Any of the other five men in that Battle Royal could have had a good match with Triple H but they went with Khali. And people here bitch about TNA's booking?!

'Taker and Edge in a HIAC should be good. It feels like those few weeks of fresh/edge-of-your-seat storylines has come to a stop on Smackdown.

Also, why is the Battle Royal billed as the main event, only to be followed by a Womens match and Kendrick VS Moore?

[Indifferent Clox]

Ok so far

Hardy v. Henry- this could be decent if Hardy wins it'll be amazing

Jeff v. MVP probably_ good match, I think it'll set up Jeff to reestablish his main event spot

Jesse and Festus v. Edgeheads- Another Decent match we've seen before, but without a clear finish, and now the titles are in there

Edge Taker HIAC- Excellent, this brings a culmination to this long running feud.

HHH v. Khali- It should be cool to see HHH beat Khali and see if HHH can bring Khali to a decent match at all. I think that It's good to have HHH go through a few opponents before he faces Hardy because then instead of us thinking that HHH hasn't held the title long enough to lose it, it'll make us think, can Hardy really win it?

I'd love to see Hardy v. Henry rematch at Survivor Series and Hardy HHH as well
both brothers winning the titles.

Here's what I think the cards will be in all

Cena v. Batista- A match we've been waiting to see

JBL v. Punk- Finally a clean win for Punk hopefully, and since JBL beat Cena, it won't bring JBL down too far, and it'll elevate Punk a lot since JBL did just beat Cena, leading to Cena v. Punk at Survivor Series maybe?

Cody Rhodes and Dibiase JR. v. Cryme Time or Duggan and King- Could be interesting

Benjamin v. Kennedy maybe- it seems reasonable

maybe another y2j HBK match

as for the actual Survivor series match it'll probably be

Miz and Morrison, Dibiase and Rhodes, Edgeheads and Jericho v. some group w/ hbk i have no idea

[Lord-Of-Darkness]

as for the actual Survivor series match it'll probably be

Miz and Morrison, Dibiase and Rhodes, Edgeheads and Jericho v. some group w/ hbk i have no idea

Its Summerslam

[Indifferent Clox]

Yeah I know. I am just looking ahead.

[DaVe]

LOL Clox.

[Londoner]

wtf clox

[Hanso Amore]

Clox....you booked like 4 PPVs of matches into one card...and I can barely undertsand a thing you have said.

Also, when did they start having 16 man Survivor matches? Or as you booked it...8 vs 1 + someone else.

[The CyNick]

Ive managed to get myself back in the habit of watching RAW most weeks, still cant watch ECW or Smackdown.

So I'll only comment on RAW matches.

It looked like they were setting up Batista vs Cena. Personally I think its wayyyyyyy too soon for that match, and I hope thats not the plan. Unless they plan on doing a heel turn by one of them (Batista) and then they build up to the rematch at Mania. But even then, this match will not get top billing over Taker-Edge, so why waste it here with no build.

Plus, if they book that it totally drops the Kane-Batista issue they have been develping for a few weeks now.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I think the John Cena vs. Batista thing would have been just to tease it.

Having Jeff Hardy win the Battle Royal would have created an interesting parallel between Matt and Jeff Hardy for Summerslam, and given us a WWE Title match that would actually be good, and might get people to want to see the PPV.

Edge vs. The Undertaker in a Hell in a Cell match makes sense, seeing as that's where they really got started, The Undertaker needs to be brought back, and Vickie Guerrero is pissed off at Edge. I'm not sure if I'm too keen to see the match, though, even though it will probably be a good one.

Matt Hardy should win the ECW Title at Summerslam.

[Innovator]

I hope they hold off on HBK vs. Jericho and give us Jericho vs. Punk at Summerslam

[311]

Here come the Khali bookings.

H comes down to ringside, does commentary for Khali versus one of the tag teams...maybe Hawkins and Ryder...BAHGAWD KAHLI HAS DESTROYED THE TAG CHAMPIONS! Cut to H looking kind of worried.

Next week H and random superstar versus Khali and random superstar...Khali destroys them after the match...probably a bahgawd DQ.

Khali destroys Nunzio in a squash. H comes out to get Khali, tries to pedigree him and fails because he's too big or something....JR will make sure to BAHGAWD about this.

Smackdown before Summerslam, Khali stands with one foot on Triple H after destroying him as the cameras fadeout and JR is BAHGAWDING.

...sigh.

HHH will probably hit Khali with the sledgehammer at Summerslam. Bahgawd.

[rojas]

Seriously. Out of all the choices they have, they pick khali. Anyone else in that battle royal would have been better. HHH vs khali would be alright for a minor ppv, but Summer Slam? Come on.

I wouldn't even put that on a minor PPV. Having The Great Khali in the WWE is just a waste.

[RP]

They should make a ppv called BAHGAWD!

[Fox]

So, Great Khali won the battle royal.

Big fucking deal, guys. Yes, I do recognize that the guy is not the most athletically gifted man on the SD brand, but he offers a sizeable challenge for Triple H, as he is a fucking giant. It makes anyone look good to beat someone with that kind of advantage, and with few other competitors on the roster (MVP, Kennedy and Umaga are not ready - Jeff needs to rebuild momentum after his suspension - we already know HHH can beat Big Show), what other choice did they have?

I'm basing this off the speculation that they have been planning Edge vs. Undertaker HIAC for at least a month or so. That takes away the two main players on Smackdown for a SS match, but its a top biller and could sell the PPV by itself. The WWE Championship doesn't even NEED to be defended on that show with a match of that magnitude (not to mention that we will probably get some form of Cena vs. Batista and Punk vs. JBL/Kane on RAW), but if you're going to add it, why not use it to make the Champ look strong?

Of course, with it being Triple H, it will probably be the main event.

[RP]

You're not trying to make someone look good at Summerslam. Thats one of the major PPV's. You're trying to put the best show possible on. And the WWE is not doing that. They're stealing your money if you buy that ppv. And none of you will realize that. They're sandbagging right now. They arent giving you the bang for your buck like they should when Summerslam or WM or Survivor Series rolls around. Instead they're giving you The Great Khali in a title match. That shit might have flow back in the 80's, but this is the 2000's. Glad i can just download in the next day. Thank god for the internet. Internet > WWE once again.

That's a matter of opinion though, RP. You and I may see Triple H for what he is, but there are a lot of little kids and teenagers out there who think he's some kind of bad ass King of Kings. Watching him fight a giant like Khali is probably more entertaining to them than watching him fight an MVP or a Kennedy, who WE know are far more entertaining, but who they can't recognize for it.

To some people, The Great Khali vs. Triple H is a big marquee match.

And again, Batista vs. John Cena and Undertaker vs. Edge are going to be the top billers. Those are two huge main events right there.

Though I have to admit its kind of funny that neither of them are Title matches.

[RGWhat316]

Looks like they are going to try to make me cheer for HHH. There is very few people I have more hatred for and one of them is Khali. I got to agree with the majority and say this is horrible. The biggest ppv of the summer is having a HHH/Khali match? Maybe I'll hold out hope that HHH will just squash him in about 30 seconds.

[Londoner]

I hope HHH smashes the sledgehammer in khalis face over and over.

[Gertner]

christ, why did they change Kozlov's finisher

[Dave Youell]

Ok, Trips having Kahli....

Lets look at this card.

Edge/Taker and whatever the Raw title match is going to be (I assume Punk/JBL, or maybe a 4 way) will have more meaning than pretty much any match HHH was likely to have, as the top heel on the show is taken already.

Giving him Kahli is just a simple way to put him over, they are not going to waste any money feuds (i.e Taker/HHH) until the network move as they will need the ratings.

In short, just because he's the champ, doesn't mean he has to be in amazing programmes all the time

[Londoner]

Yeh but still, khali?! That guy can't even wrestle properly. He seems way to hesitant before every move and fucks it up.

[#1-norm-fan]

I can't remember Trips as a face ever getting that David vs. Goliath win. It makes sense to me.

[Xero]

SummerSlam 2008 - Quad III: The Night The Quad Died

[Kane Knight]

Hell Hatch No Fury Like a Woman Scorn.

[FourFifty]

To celebrate the return of Ron Killings I have repped everyone in this thread.
WHAT'S UP!!!!!!!!!!!

[Innovator]

450 brought up a good point....WHATS UP MAN UP WHATS UP

[Mister Sinister]

WHAT UP

[311]

They should make a ppv called BAHGAWD!

Well, they already have one show named after a stupid catchphrase. :y:

[Lux]

And on a other note.

Everyone has been complaining they see to much of Edge vs Undertaker/Bats. Now we get another match with Edge/Undertaker and you are all happy. They have done all there moves to each other, time and time again. The match will not be bad, but what happened to wanting things fresh? This goes out to everyone that says it will "Save the PPV". Have you seen Edge vs Taker in HITC??? NO! SHUT THE FUCK UP :foc:

Ummm, India has become a nice market for the WWE right? Khali brings in most of those people, therefore hes going to be put in these matches from time to time. FUCK INDIA :mad:

I hope HHH smashes the sledgehammer in khalis face over and over.

Yeh but still, khali?! That guy can't even wrestle properly. He seems way to hesitant before every move and fucks it up. :rofl:

To celebrate the return of Ron Killings I have repped everyone in this thread.
WHAT'S UP!!!!!!!!!!! Ron Killings will personally save the WWE... from itself

[FourFifty]

Will Ron Killings become the next guy to be the headman for a the next boom period? No. Will he make the ratings sky rocket? No.
Will I mark out like a little bitch and believe he can do these things? Yea!

[Xero]

GETTIN' ROWDY! GONNA MOVE SOME THINGS!

[Kane Knight]

Will Ron Killings become the next guy to be the headman for a the next boom period? Yes. Will he make the ratings sky rocket? Yes.

[RGWhat316]

I'm shocked it's taking this long just to bring Killings on tv. I saw him do a RAW dark match back in May.

[Dorkchop]

http://www.superluchas.net/wp-content/uploads/konnan-chris-masters-ron-killings.jpg
check it out. It's Konan, Chris Masters, and Noob Saibot in jeans.

[Indifferent Clox]

Hey Hanso.

Ten matches is not 4 ppvs.

although I did book two ppvs if you read.

[Indifferent Clox]

Also I was gonna make it 8 on eight, just couldn't figure out the face teams.

[Juan]

Vladimir Kozlov's music is pretty bad ass.

[Londoner]

What a surprise, KurtAngleMark isn't happy.

[thedamndest]

To be fair though, is there any way Taker or HHH will do the job at Summerslam?

[Londoner]

Def not hhh, edge only has a slight chance of winning depending on if they plan to have Vickie turn heel again.

[Hanso Amore]

No way does Taker lose his return match

and of course HHH wont lose.

Punk's reign is over, no way do they have the champ/favorite win every match at the big PPV.

[IC Champion]

Ron Killings does NOT suck!!!!:rant:



...albeit I had a conversation about him with my sister (who isn't a wrestling fan). I said he was awesome because he sang his own theme music.... to which she responded "So does John Cena."
I was pwnd right there on the spot.

That's cause you're a jew.

[Indifferent Clox]

MAH you're forgetting about run ins/ dq's etc. There are ways of people getting over without winning. I think CM Punk will beat JBL somehow, maybe clean or maybe turn. Triple H will win clean. Taker will get screwed by someone or maybe turn. Plus you have the whole middle card, I mean it's not unheard of for every face to win.

[Destor]

No way does Taker lose his return match
