WWE SummerSlam - August 23rd, 2009

and i don't know if he's always been there, but he was in the summerslam official page.

IF HE WAS ALREADY THERE, IGNORE ME

[spoiler] Intercontinental Championship: Rey Mysterio (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler; World Heavyweight Championship - TLC Match: Jeff Hardy (c) vs. CM Punk [/spoiler]

After tonight's ECW and probably the end of the one on one program with Christian and Dreamer, I bet Koslov or Ezekial will be thrown into the title picture. I'd rather see Christian vs. Regal or Shelton at Summerslam instead...actually, I'd rather not see a bad ECW Title match at Summerlam...or a Divas match either.

Why doesn't the WWE just give me the book? It would please the fans (i.e. me) so much more than what they are likely going to do.

I am guessing Shelton-Zack-Christian for SummerSlam.

No, Shelton has been feuding with Abraham Washington and Yoshi Tatsu. If anything, I'd want them to maybe have another scramble (The_Dude would love that) or just a 4 way with Christian, Regal, Shelton, and Dreamer. Give the belt to Regal and move Christian up to Raw.

Christian/Orton is as fresh as it gets.

[spoiler] Does not necessarily mean that Morrison will not be involved in the match. [/spoiler]

[spoiler] World Heavyweight Championship - TLC Match: Jeff Hardy (c) vs. CM Punk [/spoiler] Link256

Much rather have Legacy vs. Colons for the titles, Morrison vs. Jericho, and Rey vs. Miz instead of what we have so far.

Who cares, it could be the worst lineup ever, I'm still ordering for Punk/Jeff.

So far imo, this years SummerSlam has shades of this years Wrestlemania in that there's only one match that is worth ordering the PPV for

That's not true. WM had several draws, the only difference is that only one truly delivered.

Oh don't get me wrong, I understand that people ordered that show because of other matches. But for me personally, the only reason I ordered Wrestlemania was for Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker...the rest of the PPV, for some reason, I did not care about not even MITB. However, when the show ended, I enjoyed other aspects of the PPV as well. MITB was far better than I was expecting, Matt and Jeff put on a nice little match and Ricky Steamboat proved why he is ****ing god!

Again, from my point of view, like WM I just feel like there's only one match (at the moment) on this years show that's worth seeing. I'll still order the PPV though for that match...three guesses at which one

Damn just 17 more days till I go to SummerSlam. Right before the PPV, I'm going to the Fan Axxess event right across the straight from the Staples Center, the Nokia Plaza.KevyR

What do you think of the PPV card so far Kev?

Let's see, I'm not too fond of seeing Cena vs. Orton again for umpteenth time, so I guess you have to witness it live for it to be not so boring.

Cryme Tyme vs. JeriShow looks bad on paper, but it could be a good match. 

I read the spoiler for SmackDown and the main event for me is making me act like a kid in a candy store getting to taste and feel the match live! I know it'll be match of the year contender!

We know for sure DX vs. Legacy will make it to the card, and I'm excited to see Shawn wrestle, but I don't want a DX match. That's all in the past, and we don't need it now or ever in the future. I hope this is a one night thing, but doubt that. Last time I saw DX live was on RAW back in 2006. 

Any other potential match? Oh yeah they'll be another match from SmackDown! that'll be added. It could be a good match. 

I'll be sending Rob some live! photos, if I don't forget to take them, so he can post it here for you guys to see.

I'm liking the two main events so far. I enjoy pretty much everything Orton and Cena have done one on one, especially their match at No Way Out 2008.

[spoiler] I don't think I need to go into details about how excited I am for Punk vs. Jeff. The rest of the card is meh so far. Unless Morrison is facing Miz, I'd rather have Rey vs. Morrison instead of Ziggler. [/spoiler]

Honestly, every match from here on out is jockeying for runner-up. The MOTY has already been decided.

I like Orton-Cena. They have shown good chemistry and I don't feel like this match has been run in the ground as people are making it out to be. They've definately had fewer singles matches than Orton-Trips and Edge-Cena and unlike both of those feuds, I don't think we've seen the best Orton-Cena match, yet (or in the case of Orton-Trips, apparently, its not happening, there is no "best match"). This'll likely end with SuperCena winning, especially considering the way Orton has been booked (it almost feels like Vince took the punt personally, doesn't it), but there's an outside shot Orton can retain. And its even less likely that this will be a one-time match, as there's a lot of time to kill between now and Trips-Cena at Wrestlemania (It makes me a bad person to hope for injury, doesn't it?).

And let's face it, there were four legit options for the Raw main event: Orton-Cena, Orton-Trips-Cena (probably a gimmick, since that just happened), another Trips-Orton or Trips-Cena.

Of those options, I will gladly take Orton-Cena.

Also, get Jericho away from Cryme Tyme before they hurt him with their suck. At this point, I'm almost to the point with tag teams I reached with the Cruiserweight and Hardcore Divisions, just bury it. Wherever they were going with Edge and Jericho was probably going to be worth it, because it was EDGE and JERICHO, but its not happening now. Find something better for Jericho before Cryme Tyme hurts his MVP 09 shot... or *knock on some damn wood* hurts him.

- All the Summerslam promos airing on WWE Classics on Demand today have featured Shawn Michaels.

- Kofi Kingston stated on his Twitter page that he is having special tights produced for Summerslam, an indication that he will be on the card.

Kofi vs. Swagger vs. MVP vs. Bourne, plz. sephy37

And does that mean he has more ROH and TNA PPV appearances than he does WWE?

And would that make him the first wrestler to make PPV appearances for those three companies?

Evan Bourne had a Cyber Sunday match against Matt Hardy for the ECW title last year.

Otherwise, I do not recall.

So more ROH PPV appearances and equal TNA appearances (unless he was on in the Weekly PPV days, which I wouldn't know about).

Still, I suppose that's kind of noteworthy for him to be the first to appear on PPVs for all three companies.

The Miz is still featured in the Summerslam commercials. Maybe he is just banned from Summerfest.

I don't know why, but I don't like the Randy Orton and John Cena feud starting again. =S

But RKO FTW! (YN)

I liked it the first time when Randy wasn't being pushed into being a complete chicken ****. Orton is always better on the offensive.

SummerSlam Update:

World Heavyweight Championship - TLC Match
Jeff Hardy (c) vs. CM Punk

Intercontinental Championship
Rey Mysterio (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler

The TLC match might not even happen! Remember, Teddy said, "IF Jeff Hardy can defend the title by Summerslam"akl712

He will be there, and if not then Matt Hasrdy Should take over for Jeff and face Punk for the Championship.

Cryme tyme should go on the route of the dudley's. do something epic with tables, and make the heart dynasty be mean as possible (I can't find a reason to despise them besides Tyson's stupid hairstyle), and reunite the colons. Goodness the tag team divison is just so buried i don't have words for it anymore.

That CM Punk vs Jeff Hardy match looks to be the best. I don't know about Randy and Cena because I always see Cena beating Randy in single matches.

The U.S. Title needs more flare behind it. When I say say "flare" I mean better matches that involves talented people besides Kofi and Show. That match didn't do anything for me.

ECW champion Chrisitian needs to start a feud with Shelton in an anything goes match someday.

You've pretty much summed up my sentiments on the show also. i just wonder if DX will return or not, I really hope Triple H was calling someone other than Shawn. Maybe Undertaker? I know..uncalled for

who knows I just hope its a great show and despite who wins the Cena/Orton match I would hope that its a complete back and forth match and lots of fan reactions

Here is the promo package for SummerSlam:

Also, here is the promo package for the SummerSlam/7-11 cups:

When is Batista returning? =SLilRonnie10

Hopefully not Shawn or someone like Taker. HHH and one of those two would completely destroy Legacy. Rather be someone that can wrestle that isnt as 'dominant'. Perhaps just for the hey of things, X-Pac.

SummerSlam Update:

DX vs. Legacy

Am i the only person here thats happy because Shawn is back with Tripslilhbk

I'm I happy that Shawn is back? Absolutely!

I'm I happy that Shawn is teaming with Trips? No way in hell!

This is, imo, the worst way they could of brought HBK back

I realize this, but I refuse to refer to them as "Legacy," when that is also what the faction is called.Link256

Do you only call them Legacy when Orton is with them?akl712
