Let's discuss.

I think this year's Summer Slam has been the weakest since 1995 and 1996.

There was a lack of big name talent, no big matches, and little crowd enthusiasm.

I only hope that 2005 proves to be a better year. However, they may just hold next year's SS event from the former ECW arena.

The Cerebral Assassin The Crusher Posts: 1,690	Let's discuss. I think this year's Summer Slam has been the weakest since 1995 and 1996. There was a lack of big name talent, no big matches, and little crowd enthusiasm. I only hope that 2005 proves to be a better year. However, they may just hold next year's SS event from the former ECW arena.
