I was wondering why this hasn't been created yet so I took it upon myself. I know for a fact that we got a few people out there that will enjoy this. Feel free to discuss and post anything wrestling related here (I hope i put this thread in the right section if not then the admins can move it).
I actually enjoyed Raw last night and am liking some of the storylines and matches that are being developed. What are people's thoughts on Summerslam?
(Santino Marella = best thing on tv)

Damnit, I missed RAW last night. But Santino is clearly the best thing they have in the brand.
Has there been an update on Kane's bag? Is it just condoms for when Lita comes back or what?

Nah they had Kane apologize or something yesterday...his mask is clearly in the bag...just gotta wait and see where this is going.
Jericho is doin a great job as a bad guy and the Cena and Batista tag champs angle is a classic storyline comparable to the likes of Hulk and Macho, Hulk and Ultimate Warrior, Macho and Warrior and countless others where two superstar good guys are preparing for a "classic battle". I like it.

I know they're doing the SD! switch in the not so distant future. But I think they have too many heavy hitters on there and not enough on Raw. I like being able to see Kane. I don't hate Punk as champ yet. I can live with Cena-Batista. Ditto HBK-Jericho.
Why can't they put all the young'ns on Raw though? Let Kennedy get his shot to be rightbehind the main eventers. Carlito, Shelton Benjamin and any other young guys who have something going in their favor. Put them on Raw and start to elevate them.
I'm not saying to run your show with them, cuz they're not proven enough. I know the purposes that Cena, Batista, HBK, Y2J, JBL, Kane serve. You need the name brand on the A Show. But are you telling me that Punk + Kofi are that far ahead of the other young guys to warrant their current status? (Ditto Rhodes/DiBiase, even though they just lost.)
With my work schedule and having moved, I haven't seen Raw live or TiVo'd in over a month now. My wrestling is once again limited to online reports + WWE.com. So my posts might be a lil off kilter for the foreseeable future. Sucks for a diehard kid....
PS--If you check out my blog, I have a semi-regular item on what storylines I'd enact if left in charge. Please feel free to check it out and chastise me cuz you could do that much better than I.
Sorry for the shameless plug. Mr MorningSTAR aka The Ego - Young Franchise signing off....

Does this mean Rey Mysterio is dead? that would be a sweet but short-lived storyline lol
I would have liked this Cena/Batista storyline a little better if they had a little more buildup and had them lose the tag titles at Summerslam and then have to wrestle each other the same night.
Ok so who's throw out their predictions for Summerslam? I will post mine in a day or two.

I'm done with RAW. F- for last nights show. That Kane storyline killed me. Same with Cena/Batista.
And how about the same exact line going on with ECW. Henry and his challenger Hardy working as a tag tonight. Kinda the same thing.
...ok, I lied. I'm not done with RAW. Just that storyline.

Ok so Summerslam is on Sunday and I figured I'd throw out my predictions on what i think will happen.
MVP vs. Jeff Hardy
MVP has been killin Hardy the last few weeks so normally Hardy would get the win but I have a hunch that this feud might go on a little longer and one of these guys ends up gettin a title shot soon. MVP Wins.
Shawn Michaels decides his future
He's definitely coming back. Prolly say the doctors told him to retire but he just can't til he faces Jericho or something.
Santino & Beth Phoenix vs. Kofi & Mickie James (IC and Women's title)
I'm gonna say Mickie pins Santino for the win
Mark Henry vs. Matt Hardy (ECW Championship)
I think ECW will probably extend this feud also. Mark Henry wins illegally somehow.
CM Punk vs. JBL (World Heavyweight Title)
JBL is the worst wrestler. No way he wins this. Punk finally earns a victory on his own (i hope).
HHH vs. Khali (WWE Title)
No-brainer. HHH is ur winner here.
Cena vs. Batista
I'm not positive which way this one will go. Neither of these guys has actually won a big match lately. I don't kno how good this match will actually be but I'm gonna say Cena wins and Batista begins a heel turn.
Edge vs. The Undertaker (Hell in a Cell)
This should be the main event and probably the best match. Crowd should be hyped for Taker's return. I wanna pick Edge but no way Undertaker loses his comeback match (anyone know exactly how many comeback matches hes actually had in his career?).
So thats what I think. I'm sure there will be some surprises.
Anybody else wanna weigh in on this?

Nombre Cinco - here's my beef. Batista recently left SD!. Edge stayed. HHH left Raw for SD!. Both belts were on SD!. Why come they couldn't put Batista over Edge - once? And have him arrive on Raw with the strap? They put this guy over Triple H -THREE TIMES in a row.
Granted I hate Batista and think that he and Cena will have the worst match ever - were it not that Great Khali had a career. But I digress. With my work schedule, I've not seen Raw since June. And things aren't looking up for September either. I'm so disappointed that we're heading into my favorite PPV and I have no clue what's going on. (Mike Adamle as GM? I guess it's better than Mike Adamle as play-by-play.)
I'm just happy Mickie James has her strap. I can always refer back to my Alexis Laree photos and enjoy....

I'm sure there will be some surprises. Anybody else wanna weigh in on this? MVP vs. Hardy = HardyI'd rather see MVP pick up the win cuz I'm quite tired of both Hardy brothers, but I think they'll put Hardy over at Summerslam to get a cheap pop out of the crowd. Santino/Beth vs. Kofi/Mickie = Santino/BethThis is a terrible match. On one hand, I have Kofi, who is my 2nd favorite guy in the fed and the inspiration to bobsledders around the world. On the other hand, it's Santino, and he is the best man in wrestling right now. My conscience won't let me bet against him. Mark Henry vs. Matt Hardy = Mark HenryBOOOOOOORRRRIIIINNNNGGG!!!! Punk vs. JBL = PunkWrestling God's are on strike this week. HHH vs. The Great Khali = HHHAnother snoozer. I'd rather see these two have a weight lifting contest. John Cena vs. Batista = BatistaI'm going against the grain here and pickin good ol' Dave to grab a W. I think it's about time Cena went on a nice PPV losing streak. Won't happen tho. Just wishful thinking. Edge vs. Undertaker = UndertakerHell in a cell. Taker return. Instant Classic right here. Calling it now, it will be the match of the night and will bring us back to Taker/Mankind. Darkside pulls one out with a tombstone on a steel chair. Would be much better if he tombstoned him on the top of the cage in the middle and the cage broke, sending Edge crashing to the canvas. Kinda like in my video games. Solid! Ooo, TNA impact comes out soon. NICE! |

I think that they avoided having Batista win and bring the title to Raw and HHH take his to SD! because they didn't want to be predictable. They also wanted to set up that surprise CM Punk title victory which was good and also that chaos on Raw angle with no GM. I had no problem with it. I also want to modify my Shawn Michaels prediction. I think that tomorrow he will just announce that he is going to retire. Then make his return at a later date. Maybe as part of a setup for Jericho. either way he will be facing Jericho soon. We all know that. Is this Kane/Mysterio storyline playing any part at Summerslam? |

So Summerslam was an ok ppv. Hell in a Cell was clearly the best match but was weird that neither man was bleeding except for a little cut on Undertakers arm...normally 1 chair shot and a guy is gushin blood. Weird. Does this have anything to do with them tryin to have a pg rating or wutever?
I thought the other matches were decent. I was actually pleased with Khali and HHH. It wasn't as bad as i thought it'd be. HHH made Khali look decent. Batista and Cena was ok also. I'm still waitin to see what the plans for Batista are. I think hes gotta go heel at some point. All other matches aren't worth mentioning really especially whatever the hell they wanna call what they did with the Hardy/Henry match.
Also is Edge considered dead also along with Rey Mysterio?
I hope Raw is good tonight.
