Lots of exciting things going on this time of the year and in the WWE Universe, gosh that's a catchy phrase, nothing is more exciting than Summerslam which will be held this Sunday from the sold out Staples Center in Los Angeles and broadcast exclusively on pay per view.

Yours truly has broadcast many, many Summerslam events and even broadcast one on syndicated radio with the late, great WWE Hall of Famer Gorilla Monsoon many years ago. It has been inferred on more than one occasion that your favorite Okie has a "face for radio" which has a "better heard than seen" connotation to it.

There is a great deal of controversy and speculation regarding the SD Main Event at S'Slam which features Jeff Hardy defending the World Heavyweight Title against C.M. Punk in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match. Many members of the WWE Universe, there's that phrase again, feel that the TLC match is the most anticipated bout at Summerslam and it may well be.  

But I don't think that the TLC Bout will close the pay per view. That's just a personal assumption and we all know what happens when one assumes.

Jeff is not 100% physically and not being 100% going into a TLC match isn't the best of conditions for which to defend ones World Title. With that said, Jeff Hardy will be lucky to leave LA with his title in tact and coupled with Punk's ladder match successes at the lat two Wrestlemania's, which have been well documented, one could make valid argument that Punk wins Sunday.

The final TV word on Summerslam will air Friday night on MyNetworkTV during the two hour broadcast of Smackdown starring Todd Grisham. 

BTW traveling with Master Grisham is like pulling up to a Sonic Drive In in Minnesota with Brett Favre. We're talking free, diet cherry limeades here.

Looks as if John Cena, gotta love his "John Deere-like" new swag, has finally maneuvered Mr. RKO right where Cena wants the WWE Champ. Cena and Orton going one on one hasn't happened in a while on PPV and unless Orton receives a government assisted bail out my World Famous J.R.'s BBQ Sauce is on Cena to once again become WWE Champion.

Orton losing the WWE Title might be, in Orton's mind, you know where he allegedly hears voices, as perplexing as Louisville Hoops Coach Rick Pitino at his wife's family reunion.

The biggest clearence sale in the history of J.R.'s Family BBQ starts this Friday where we have created some amazing packages that feature FREE SHIPPING to the USA and CANADA! These will be limited time offers so check them out exclusively at www.jrsbarbq.com.

Don't burn any daylight, Pilgrim, on this massive sale!

Rey Mysterio defends the Intercontinental Title against Dolph "Don't Call Me Zig" Ziggler at Summerslam. Even though I fully expect Mysterio to well represent in his home state, don't be too shocked if Ziggler upsets Rey. BTW what is Ziggler's finishing maneuver called? I've ad-libbed "Zig Zag" and I also heard some "locker room dirt" that it was called the ZZT. 

Although it might be tempting, Ziggler better resist staying up too late the night before S'Slam enjoying the company of his lady friend Maria. Dolph partying all night in LA Saturday would be about as stupid as Plaxico Burress unnecessarily shooting himself with his own gun while hitting a night club in NYC months ago which has completely derailed Burress' NFL career. 

Cryme Tyme may have predicted a victory for Sunday's Undisputed Tag Team Title tussle with Chris Jericho and his rather large partner, The Big Show, at Summerslam but my brisket's on the defending champions. Nothing against the fellas from Brooklyn but Jericho and Show seem to have too much big event, championship experience for Shad and JTG to overcome.  At least, that's one man's opinion.

While I'm thinking about it, my sources tell me that Edge has begun his physical therapy for his surgically repaired Achilles tendon this week. This type of injury is  usually about a 6 month recovery period as we anxiously await the "Rated R Superstar's" return sometime in 2010.

Edge will be all over our big sale this weekend as I'm thinking that he loads up on his favorite, J.R.'s Chipolte Ketchup, and orders on line at www.jrsbarbq.com where Edge can get FREE SHIPPING no matter if he is in Toronto or Tampa.

Yours truly will be headed to Dallas on September 5 to watch the season opener for the Oklahoma Sooners as OU will face the always dangerous BYU at the new, Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. From what I have seen, Cowboys Stadium would make a great Wrestlemania site in a few years as it is a state of the art facility and could seat 100,000 people for a Wrestlemania event.

Kane, the Undertaker's brother, takes on the Great Khali, Ranjin Singh's brother, at Summerslam, Wrestlemania's brother, in a bout where I will quickly change into my bowling shoes and attempt to avoid any physical interaction at ringside with these two, huge participants.

For the record, I, personally, have no brothers, BROTHER!

Just in case you might be up EARLY on Sunday morning and wandering around downtown LA, I will be doing a high secret project for the Food Network in a covert location near the Staples Center starting at 6 a.m. Should be an exciting start to a long, challenging day for this Oklahoman.

WWE Women's Champion Michelle McCool joins Todd Grisham and his trusted sidekick J.R. on commentary this Friday night and I was impressed at how well McCool handled her guest shot.

Some wrestlers, as we have all heard, have about as much business doing commentary as Ol J.R. would modeling Speedo Swimwear. Not a good fit....so to speak.

Mike "Fort" Knox is an interesting individual and his journey down the Smackdown walk of life continues Friday night in a physical match-up with Finlay. Knox certainly seems to thoroughly understand the human anatomy and what makes said anatomy ache.

This just in....while Howard Finkel was in Charlotte, North Carolina last weekend flaunting his well deserved WWE HOF ring at a fan convention, it was discovered that it was actually for the "The Fink" that the descriptor "Smart, Sexy, and Powerful" was first used. 

Of course, you can hear the first ring announcer to ever be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame regularly if you are enjoying WWEClassics.com as am I.

If you like to save money, get FREE SHIPPING, FREE SWAG, and have been waiting to sample some of J.R.'s Family BBQ products, your time has come! The biggest promotion we have ever launched is starting Friday for a limited time only. Head to www.jrsbarbq.com for all the info and thanks for visiting us there.

Enjoy Summerslam this Sunday on PPV, Raw in Las Vegas and Smackdown/ECW this Tuesday in Phoenix.
