Summerslam review

The show had some strong points but a lot left to be desired. Let's start with what I liked.

The Bray vs. Kane match was earlier in the card than I expected, but I could mark out for an exploding ring, even when the Wyatt's interference was a given. That was awesome.

The Christian vs. Del Rio match was again, higher in the card than expected, but a great, competitive match. Same with Sandow vs. Cody. Because Cody got a clean win, I'd like to see how the feud would continue down the line.

Punk vs. Brock had my draw drop a few times on how they brutalized each other. When I heard Paul say the match was no DQ, the ROH prude in me said "Why don't you just tip off that Punk's gonna win after a chairshot to the head," but I was impressed with the stiff shots and submission counters they gave each other. I later realized the no-DQ was just an excuse for Heyman to get at Punk with no real consequences. Punk getting stomped with the board covering the monitor was a good "Holy S*** moment too.

The Big E and AJ/Dolph and Katilin match I marked out for because I am a Jersey guy and rooted for AJ and Big E even if they were acting bad.

Now for what I didn't like. You're gonna leave out the Shield? Are you f***n kidding me? You're top draw?

The Bella match was just some cheap excuse to promote their reality show and had a distracted crowd chanting for JBL and Jerry.

As for the main event, both Cena and Bryan gave their all, but HHH was a constant distraction, and I just knew he was going to do something sneaky. It would be nice if he Pedigreed Bryan and let Cena retain the title and be the corporate champion. But people would mark out for that, simply not acceptable. They even had a nice promotion leading up to it passing Cena as an "entertainer." Instead, they did the usual Money in the Bank drive-by, and Orton once again is champion after Bryan held it for a minute.

What the hell, Vince dosen't like Vanilla midgets anyway. Gertner, I think you and Vince would get along fine.
