Not that it's news...
But I've had it... HAD it with Hulk Hogan. To the point I want to slap the piss out of these "Hulkamaniacs" that continue to use "WWE Mark Logic" to cheer this non-working ass bum. Cena fans (and by "fans", I mean the girls/kids that cheer for him no matter what) seem more astute. Even Stone Cold Steve Austin got shat on when he did something that went afoul of "good business". Yet, Vince continues to give him a pass for shit he has derailed Bret Hart and others for doing. He should have lost to Shawn, and he should have lost to Randy tonight. Flair >>>>>>>>>>>>> Hogan. X-Pac >>>>>>>>>>> Hogan. Jeff Jarrett >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hogan. At least Jarrett gives the illusion of working. A turd in an unflushed toilet >>>>>>>>>>> Hogan. Seriously. Give me a good reason why you should cheer Hogan in 2006. |

As much as I hated Hogan beating Michaels last year to end SummerSlam, it atleast was an upbeat ending. The crowd was into it and all. As much as it pissed me off (I called a friend of mine and ranted for what I'm pretty sure appriached 2 hours) atleast it was something you wouldn't have seen on Raw. Hogan vs. Michaels.
Edge cheating to retain the title against Cena though. Come on. You either A) Have Cena win. Atleast you're gonna get a big reaction (though alot of boos, also alot of screams from the women and children), a title change (rare on free tv), a face getting the win ala Hogan. or B) Have Edge win but have a CREATIVE FREAKING ENDING!!! A heel turn from someone, a unique "heel tactic", ANYTHING but the boring ass ending we got. I didn't miss a single PPV from the first WrestleMania to mid-late 2005 and I haven't missed one of the BIG 4 ever. Through all that, I seriously think, given the fact that it WAS SummerSlam, this was the most boring ending to a PPV I have ever seen. Just beyond words terrible. If you absolutely had to do this ending because no one for WWE can grasp the concept of actually writing an entertaining ending to a match, then just have the DX-McMahon match main event the damn thing!!! Would have been a million times better. Last edited by #1-norm-fan; 08-21-2006 at 01:01 AM. |

I actually liked the ending to almost every match on the card. Hogan/Orton was complete bullshit, given. Bats/Booker was strong. Keep the belt on Book, he's better at the moment. Foley/Flair was definatly interesting, made both men look strong. Cena and Edge was actually really great. I'm really disapointed that they just won't write a fucking clean victory over Cena. Not as bad as I thought this would be at all. I didn't pay for it, but I was impressed none the less.

I haven't this thread but I have a question...
Is the ref during the DX match a DX fan, because I'm pretty sure after HBK and HHH left the ring he held an X over his head... Any news on this? |

1. Someone needs to get Rey some masks that'll actually, I dunno, STAY ON HIS HEAD. A mask coming off of a masked wrestler during a ppv is, I dunno, not a good thing, perhaps?
2. Vicki looked as though she injured herself. About how I'd sum up my opinion of the whole deal. 3. Sabu blew a great deal of spots. In other words, typical Sabu match. 4. Big Show stomping the chair = cool. 5. For all the marks whining about Orton losing to Hogan. Look at it like this: What if Orton won and went into a feud with, say, Triple H. When/if they go even, and Orton isn't getting a heel reaction (again), what would Creative do, next? They couldn't do shit. 6. One of these days, Flair is gonna die in these Hardcore Matches they keep throwing him in. Why doesn't he do like Harley, and open a Wrestling School? He could probably pay off his debts, as I'm sure quite a few greenhorns would love to say they were trained by "The Man." 7. Nestea Plunge... Ow. 8. Batista has been an ass of late, and I can't feel too sad for him. Though he did try some new stuff (Steiner-like Belly to Belly, Jackhammer). The worse thing though, was that Powerbomb. I was watching with two wrestlers, and they think Booker Sandbagged him. 9. Spirit Squad got annihilated, no problems there. The Beatdown featured guys you'd think H and Micheals respect (Finlay, Regal, and Show) or see potential in (Ken Kennedy). Nice to see the Decapitation Elbow, the Hart Attack, and the Doomsday Device. Would have lmao if they did the Rockers' Flying Double Fist Drop. Or Power and Glory's Powerplex. 10. Cena got a mixed reaction in his "hometown." Damn. 11. Edge's expressions after near-falls, Lita's attempts to cheat, etc. was priceless. Edge really is the top heel in the business right now. 12. The finish was fine, though. The Knucks to the back of the head was stiff as hell. And it kind of reminded me of another Heel Champion: "Stunning" Steve Austin during his run as TV Champ in WCW. |

Anywho, if you weren't being randomly sarcastic, HBK was hurt during the match. I'm sure the X the ref through up was due to that. |

But yea, you could tell that HBK wasn't exactly in the best shape at the end of the match. |

From what I heard, HBK got injured when he was clotheslined over the top rope. Maybe a separated shoulder or something.

What was bad about this PPV? Let's try what was goo-Oh yeah.. that's right.... NOTHING. Except maybe Rey vs Chavo, even though the storyline and the tastelessness of it all made me ashamed to be a wrestling fan.. Good thing I got in for free. (Theatre that I watched it in couldn't get the PPV until halfway through the first match, so they gave us free passes) otherwise I would be hugely pissed. Bottom line, at least in my opinion:
The GOOD: Rey VS Chavo. Even though this was no clean finish, it was setting up to be a good match, and it was sadly, the match of the night. Edge VS Cena. Cena actually impressed me, along with Edge. I rather enjoyed this. The BAD: DX VS McMahons. This storyline has been going on far too long. I mean, it feels like it's been going on for years. I hope that this ends soon. Batista VS King Booker. I could see Booker trying to carry Batista to something remotely entertaining, but I just didn't see it coming through. Also, the possibly nasty botch with the Batista bomb was.... eye opening at best. Batista does not belong in the ring. Batista cannot wrestle, the only thing he does well is a spineb- oh wait, Arn Anderson. Well, he can shake the ropes kinda goo- oh yeah, the ULTIMATE WARRIOR. He's like a bunch of old wrestlers thrown into a burlap sack, with the brain and wrestling ability of a 2 year old thrown in. Hogan VS Orton. Even though it was inevitable that Hogan was going over, this match made me fall asleep in the fucking theatre, literally. I feel sorry for Orton, as much as I may dislike Orton, simply because his whole gimmick is essentially shot. Foley VS Flair. I was really looking forward to this. This was the match that I came to see. And it was short, too short. No matter how bloody it got, it needed to be longer, and it had to end with Foley going over. 12 years of buildup, and they do this to conclude it? Perhaps not, perhaps this will still go on, but.. I just can't help but feel disappointed. Big Show VS Sabu. OH MY GOD! LOOK AT SABU! Oh, he dropped the chair! LOOK AT SABU NOW! Oh, slipped on the table. OH MY GOD! WHAT IS SABU GOING TO DO HERE? Oh, he fell on his ass. And botched the Arabian Facebuster for the thirty millionth time. God damn, words cannot describe how bad this was. Bottom Line: This was worse than 2005, and I could almost say it was worse than Backlash 2006. |

This was the main event of the second biggest PPV of the year and it ended like a typical Raw. That's the only thing that pissed me off. It was dull as hell. |

Last i checked Orton lost a match to the undertaker when he was trying to "kill his legend" then won a later match against him. This might be the case here for all any of us know. Going by your logic his whole legend killer gimmick was dead after getting beat by taker the first time. |

I know this was said already, but if you go back to that Powerbomb in the Booker/Bats match, it seems apparent that Booker totally fucking Sandbagged on Bats.

Yeah, it had potential to be good but ended up quite awful.
Foley/Flair in particualr was a damn disappointment. |

thought it was a good PPV. Liked the Foley/Flair match and the main event. Thought Bookter/Batista had the potential to be a good match if Batista wasn't so sloppy in the ring. All of his offence looked slow and sloppy and the almost botched Batista bomb was the icing on the cake.
