Is it just me, or does SummerSlam look beautiful on paper?
I haven't gotten a chance to watch any wrestling since mid-June when I moved to Philadelphia for a job, but I'm moving back home on Saturday...just in time for SummerSlam. I'm not sure what's been going on storyline-wise, but all of the matches, save Khali/Kane, look like they have some awesome potential. Should I be preparing myself for a sick show or a vast disappointment?

Most of it looks good. I'm not really looking forward to DX/Legacy because in all likelihood Legacy will go down hard. Cryme Tyme v. Jerishow will probably be okay. Orton/Cena has been done to the point of I don't care who wins. That's pretty much the case with the entire Raw main event scene at this moment actually. But the other matches should be good.

Aside from the TLC match, everything else looks like it could easily have been booked on an episode of Raw. I am personally sick and tired of seeing Orton feud with Cena, DX vs Legacy could easily be a Raw main event match, all the rest is just filler.

1. Jeff Hardy is loved by fans of all ages.
2. Khali and Kane are two highly popular individuals in the Sub-Continent. 3. I am marking for Swagger as always. 4. The DX re-union is going to be a treat. 5. Cena is probably going to win the belt and send them fans happy back home. It sure looks beautiful. |

The feud began around 2 months ago where they cut a good promo against each other. They then had a match a week or 2 later where Swagger won cleanly. The were both in the 6 pack challenge match for the US title at Night Of Champions, neither men got pinned nor did they have any heat with each other. The match was booked again on Raw this week but ended quickly due to DQ and now it is just a filler match on Summerslam.

Still solid filler, though. How was their first match? Pretty good?

Looks pretty sweet, Kane v. Khali aside...also, just a note, went to a local 7-Eleven in my area and scored a SummerSlam cup or w/e, the K² one, and they were listed as selling for $1.99 a piece, however, they were scrubbing the sidewalk outside or some such, and as such were trying to rush people out quickly, so they could finish or w/e, and so apparently the guy behind the counter keyed in the wrong size (all the collectibles are Super Big Gulp size, btw, if anyone didn't know), and I was able to score it for $1.49 instead, so after taxes, managed to save 53¢, which normally isn't something that big of a savings to brag about, but in this economy, every penny saved, definitely counts.

I'm a bit surprised that Regal hasn't been mentioned yet.
Regal actually has a world title match! Sure, it may be for the ECW Championship, but it's still a major title in the WWE. So I'm looking forward to Regal's match with Christian, it should be good. The same goes for the Ziggler/Mysterio match. I can feel a Ziggler win, which would be awesome to see. I'm also looking forward to just seeing Swagger. ![]() |

William Regal actually looks like a threat to the title now that it looks like he might have some bad guys working for him.

The only two matches I even remotely care about are Regal/Christian and the TLC Match. Regal/Christian will probably open the show and get about 7 minutes tops and the TLC Match isn't going to be that great because its just 1 on 1, but they will probably still end up killing each other which will make it memorable anyway.

Be that as it may, it would be absolutely wonderful if they don't use some lame-ass divas group activity thing as filler for the show as they have sometimes done in the more recent editions of SummerSlam (i.e., volleyball, etc.)...

I care more about Kane/Khali than Orton/Cena. In fact...Orton/Cena is the most boringest thing about the card.

My only problem with Summerslam, is that the logical booking outcomes seem to favour heel decisions. That makes me wonder if we're going to get a few forced booking scenarios where faces go over just to balance things out. Something like that can cause a bit of a mess to clean up.

I don't care what happens with Punk/Hardy for the WHC, so long as the WWE title doesn't end up in Cena's evil mitts by the end of tonight.

IF there is any...and even then, what's the point of having it if all you're gonna do is either make it unnoticeable or put however much of the match in some sort of B&W filter? No thanks.

Why you gotta bitch about everything? What you're bitching about hasn't even happened, so take a relaxative and just watch the damn show.
