I really enjoyed Summerslam this year. I thought it was much better than last year's, seeing how last year there was only one very good match, the rest either sucked, or were just there. This year, however, there were only two matches I saw fault in.
Rey Mysterio def. Dolph Ziggler, to retain the Intercontinental Championship
I thought this was a great way to open the show. The crowd seemed very into it, and Dolph seemed to be put over very well, even though he lost. It had some cool moments, and the constant pin attempts kept you on your feet. Rey is great to watch in the ring, and I think tonight, Dolph proved he is worthy of being in the ring with someone of Rey's caliber. I thought it was a fun match, and I wasn't expecting it to open the show, but it was definitely the better choice. Both men put on their best efforts, and it was one of my favourite match-ups of the night. Unfortunatley for Dolph, Rey proved victorious and is still the IC Champion, so that's one prediction I failed to get right =P A nice match, and a good length.

MVP def. Jack Swagger
This match was just...there, for me at least. I wasn't very entertained by it, although both are talented guys, I think this was a match more suited to Raw, rather than the 2nd biggest PPV of the year. Still, it was ok, nothing awful, but nothing you should worry about to see. I did like the little interview beforehand though, at least it sort of explained why the two are feuding, having the whole 'Culture Clash.' I guess that's ok, and I like how they're portraying Swagger as the rich, spoilt jock-type. Anyway, a pretty forgettable match, with what seemed like a rushed ending to me.

Chris Jericho & The Big Show def. Cryme Tyme, to retain the Unfied Tag Team Titles
I really liked this match. They were given alot of time to put on something good, something entertaining, and all men did and really looked like they gave everything. Cryme Tyme seemed to shine here, they weren't just dead and buried, and both teams got the offense throughout, instead of it being a one-sided thing. Another nice promo before the match, Jericho always sounds so intelligent lol. Their new theme isn't bad, at least it shows they're going to be around as a team for a while. One of the better tag team matches I've seen in a long time, and for me, JTG really stood out. Jericho and Show are a great team, I don't think this would've worked with Edge, I just can't really imagine him being in this type of feud. I hope to see more of this from both teams though, it was a nice match, pretty long and the fans were definitely into Cryme Tyme. Jericho and Show still have the gold around their waists :)

Kane def. The Great Khali
My biggest issue of the night, is that this snorefest got more time than what could've been a great match, between Regal and Christian. These two big guys attempting to mat wrestle was like...ugh, just get it over with lol. I am a Kane fan though, I'm glad he won, but it was just a very lame match which went on far too long. Not much else to say really. =P
Rating: 1/10
D-Generation X def. The Legacy
Another very nice tag match here. I think it went on just a little too long, but it was still fun to watch and had some cool moments. DX's entrance was pretty insane, it kept the crowd alive and was really fun and different. Now, Legacy might not have won, but that doesn't mean DX 'buried' them. I think Legacy got put over pretty damn well, and you can rarely say that when HHH is involved. I mean, HBK I think it was, got hit with both of Legacy's finishers, and Legacy were always there wherever DX turned. They're really going to be big, I can feel it. They proved capable of being in the ring with such legends like Triple H & HBK, and not many people can say that. Props to Legacy in this one. :) DX, of course, took the win and hey, how can you not love these guys? They're entertaining and fun to watch in the ring. I was expecting more 'comedy' moments, but I'm glad we got to see a nice, solid wrestling match, where both teams busted their @sses.

Christian def. William Regal, to retain the ECW Championship
Blah, I'm not even going to comment much on this lol. I was just expecting a showstealing match, which, if given time instead of Khali/Kane, we could've gotten. This is the reason no one cares about ECW. Let's just face it, no one wants to watch it these days, and with damn good reason, WWE aren't exactly making people care. With matches like this, it's hardly a surprise ECW is so forgotten, which is a shame really, it has some great wrestling. Let's hope they don't pull a mistake like this again. Nice beatdown afterwards though, I'm loving Regal/Zeke/Kozlov. :)
Rating: 0.5/10 (The .5 being for the beatdown)
Randy Orton def. John Cena, to retain the WWE Championship
Well, this was crazy lol. The actual match began pretty nicely, nothing too exciting, just what you'd sort of expect. Then Orton gets disqualified. The match restarts. Orton gets counted out. The match restarts again. Fan runs in. Orton hits the RKO. The end. I just really don't get the point of all that. Why not just have a fun match instead of having all that crazy stuff happen? If that fan run in was set-up, then expect to see who's behind it tonight on Raw, so there's something exciting to look forward to I guess. Maybe they did all that because, without it, the match wouldn't be memorable enough, it'd just be a typical Orton/Cena match, with nothing 'exciting' actually happening in between. The wrestling itself was decent, it wasn't what I thought we'd be seeing though.

CM Punk def. Jeff Hardy, to become the NEW World Heavyweight Champion
Really loved this match! I had to watch on repeat because I fell asleep last night lol. It was 3am, leave me alone :P Lol, anyway it was a great match. Not the most insane spots all the time, but when there were spots, they were pulled off very well. I liked the Swanton off the ladder, that was pretty sick. Funny how it hurts Jeff more than Punk though =P lol, so if this is Jeff's last match, good luck to him in whatever he chooses to do. I loved the promo before it, the song was really cool lol, it sounds like Buckcherry to me. Feud of the year so far in my eyes. But I think everyone's favourite moment was after the match, where we saw the return of The Undertaker :D I'm happy to see him back, this brings new competition for Punk now in the main event scene, and I'm really excited for the feud. Woo! Lol, can't wait for SD. That's what a good match should do, it should make you excited to see what happens next. This was great, I loved it. :)
Rating: 9/10
One of my favourite moments throughout this whole thing, was Punk's promo backstage. I loved what he said, it was just so gripping lol. Punk is seriously awesome, and he deserves to be a main event guy. :)
So yep, loved Summerslam tbh. If you haven't seen it, you need to just for the last match, it was great. You Gotta Move wasn't a bad theme either. I have a feeling WWE will get better from now on. :)
Peace Out! xoxox



I agree with almost every points you made. I thought the PPV was a bit dissapointing considering its the "Second Biggest PPV of the Year"
Kyle Is The NextAside from the Opening match between Ziggler and Mysterio and the TLC Match, the matches weren't PPV quality. And why did WWE even book a Kane vs Khali match at Summerslam???
Out of all PPV's they can book it, they booked it on the 2nd biggest PPV of the year. And the most frustrating part is the fact that it lasted 8 minutes and the ECW championship match that could have potentially be the 2nd match of the night lasted 8 seconds
It really annoys me. Does WWE actually think that fans are into a Kane vs Khali match rather than a US title match between Evan Bourne, Carlito and Kofi Kingston? Hell, I'd rather see a Mickie James vs Gail Kim match than the cr@p match Khali and Kane had
