Just began watching Summerslam after ignoring WWE for about 18 months.
Thoughts so far:
Rey Mysterio Vs Ziggler (Sounds like a *****)
A solid all round match. The crowd did not seem happy with the finish (Mysterio Win) but was fine with me.
4/5
Jack Swagger Vs M.V.P
Did not have much hope for this but again, was a solid wrestling match.
3.5/5
Chris Jericho & The Big Show Vs Cryme Tyme
Can someone please explain to me what on this earth Cryme Tyme did to deserve a shot at the UNIFIED Tag straps?
Last time I watched WWE they were hardly road warrior material.
Great work from all involved and good, old school tag wrestling from the champs.
Loved the finish... He's got to the ropes..... oh, wait, Big Show has just flattened his face.
3.5/5
Kane Vs Khali
Err, sorry, I skipped this, did I miss a mat classic? If so, I will watch. Poor Kane, how the mighty have fallen.
?/5
H.B.K & HHH (I REFUSE to call them D.X) Vs Legacy
Just started watching this match.
WHAT THE **** IS THIS "D.X" entrance?
If Legacy loose, be prepared for a RANT.
Edit:
LOL at the muppets cheering for this **** AGAIN.
EDIT 2:
This entrance is longer than some of matches on the card I am guessing?
Edit 3:
Michael Cole just said that D.X are "One of the GREATEST TAG TEAMS of ALL TIME"? - What a clown. I just realised why I stopped watching WWE Programming.
HBK & HHH as a tag team under the D.X banner have NEVER had Tag Team gold if I am not mistaken.
EDIT4:
SURPRISE - DX WIN (Sarcasm). We can not have the kids who have just bought light sticks going home crying can we? Just think of all the merchandise they wont sell at the next live event.
There are a few DX fans in here so I will refrain from going on a full anti DX rant but to me, Legacy are definite shoe ins to be World champs so why have them loose to a Tag Team which has NEVER won tag team gold?
Makes NO sense. It does not harm D.X if they loose BUT it would have boosted Legacy to get in some peoples eyes a "Shock" win, theyre the bad guys, they could have cheated if they liked if that is how it needed to be done.
ALTHOUGH, if this is going somewhere and there is a payoff for them down the road, then sobeit although I believe WWE have forgotten how to book anything more than 4 weeks in advance so I doubt it.
A good tag match although this D.X thing is starting to wear thin on me.
3.5/5
Christian Vs William Regal
This is more like it, should be good wrestling match.
EDIT:
OH.. FFS.
**** you WWE, **** you.
This match COULD have been a classic.
You give SEVEN minutes to a **** DX entrance yet dont give 2 of your BEST workers more than 30 seconds in the ring to do their thing.
I KNEW, JUST KNEW that DX entrance was going to take time away from someone else further up the card, well, maybe it didnt but is still stupid booking for a PPV.
Yet another giant dump on the ECW name by WWE, surprising. Also a slap in the face to 2 great workers.
Cena Vs Orton
Meh, ive given up allready.
"If CENA WINS, I TRASH THIS FORUM".
EDIT:
Cena is getting boo's and "Cena sucks" chants, there is a surprise.
Boos for Cena, Cheers for Orton? I thought Cena was the face and Orton was the hee..... meh, nevermind.
Lillian seems to have gotten rather confused after the Orton DQ - LOL - "I have just received word that your new champion is Randy Orton, Oh, wait, ive ballsed that up. Ive just received word....."
Well I would not class this as a wrestling match, BUT was good as Cena did not Win.
Thought the multiple restarts were a little silly BUT the actual finish was cool with the fan putting the referee into a submission, LOL
Hardy Vs Punk.
A mediocre TLC match albeit with some good spots albeit spots do not make a match.
3.5/5
Overall
3/5 and I feel that is generous but I think it deserved more than 2.5.
I'll give WWE a wide berth till the Rumble. Not quiet my cup of tea.
