Looks like the addition of ECW means that Smackdown gets cut down to two matches at Summerslam. Chavo vs. Rey, and Booker vs Batista.


That's kinda shitty, eh?

Well, it does help them considering that SD's roster has been destroyed by the wellness program.

Yeah, but I'm sure they'd still be able to fill four spots on a pay-per-view card. They could always add something like Kendrick/London vs. Regal/Finlay, or Finlay vs Lashley...


And nevermind, I guess Smackdown will have at least three matches on the show. I forgot about Khali/Undertaker.

Khali/Taker is off of the show. Because they have FINALLY come to the conclusion that he can't wrestle on live TV. Everything they've aired with him has been apparently edited. They will have a match that will Main Event the SD before Summerslam.....because it'll be taped.

I would assume that will be next.....unless they think he's salvagable and they want to send him back down to the developmental areas.

I dunno. I remember that report back before Judgment Day where it said that WWE officials were beginning to realize that Khali was a lost cause. After that report, Khali went on to squash World Champion Rey Mysterio on Smackdown and cleanly beat The Undertaker at Judgment Day.

Taker/Khali is off the card now? They can do Finlay/Regal/Lashley now, so that's good.

I don't think that is going to happen either...

According to Meltzer, Khali is so bad WWE is afraid to put him on live TV.

The only thing I wonder though, so bad as in he's still not feeling healthy enough to wrestle? So bad as in he doesn't know how to work WWE style and is astrocious in a WWE ring? So bad as in he's a threat to the person is wrestling, might not protect him in the match, and might possibly hurt that wrestler? Some combination of the three? Or something else all together?

It's because they don't think he's good enough for live TV. Everything Khali's done so far (besides the PPV match that him and Taker already had) has been heavily edited on TV.

Rey Mysterio vs. Chavo Guerrero opens the show. The finish can't come until Vickie Guerrero comes to ringside. JBL said that Rey exploiting Eddie's name is a disgrace.

I guess the crowd thought the same thing. By the time the match was over, the fans were not only booing Chavo, but booed Vickie coming out out to the ring, and then booed Mysterio as well. The crowd turned on Rey when he did the three amigos, clearly seeing the exploitation of Eddie went too far. Vickie tripped Rey when he was on top for the frog splash. Chavo then used a brainbuster and frog splash to win. Nothing at all wrong with the match, other than the idea behind it, but it didn't get over and nowhere close to what you'd expect from a singles match from these two.

Edge & Lita confronted Booker & Sharmell. Booker's fake British accent was way clumsy. The scripting of this was atrocious but Edge's delivery made it okay. Each challenged the other to come to their show this week.

Big Show vs. Sabu is up next. They don't even pretend the ECW title is anything more then prelim level. Show won after a spinebuster through one table, and a choke slam through another. It was what you'd expect. Kind of clumsy, a few big table breaking spots that got over, and a lot of sloppy shots as well. The first table Sabu brought out got a far bigger reaction than any wrestler that has appeared so far this night, which is a sad reflection of the babyfaces so far. Sabu got up and tried to play to the crowd for the sympathy reaction and got nothing.

Something is going on with Layla since we've got a video package on the finals.

It was her initiation. All the women dissed her but then did an about face. Basically they took her into the shower and started the shower and pulled up her dress to show ass shots.

Hulk Hogan vs. Randy Orton is up next. Hogan won with a legdrop in the middle. He did give Orton an RKO spot before the finish where Hogan didn't kick out, but got his foot on the rope to break the pin. Hogan got a super reaction. The match was okay given Hogan's limitations. He did his trademark stuff that he could do, but it was a basic simple stuff that Hogan did that mostly didn't look good. Funny gimmick infringement spot as a mock on Shawn Michaels was Hogan doing a crotch chop spot. That was funny as hell.

Ric Flair vs. Mick Foley is up next in the I Quit match. Match was a lot shorter than you'd think at less than 13:00. It was a bloody weapons match. Basically Foley destroyed Flair with a barbed wire board, barbed wire bat and thumb tacks. Flair bled as heavy as you'd expect. Flair then made a comeback using the barbed wire bat on Foley's arm. Foley took a Nestea plunge with his had cracking a garbage can and the trainer stopped the match. Flair refused to accept a trainer stop and said he wanted Foley to quit. Flair continued to beat on him and was using the barbed wire bat to his eye and Melina threw in the towel. Flair again refused to accept a towel thrown in as the finish. Flair took the bat and made threats of using the barbed wire bat on Melina and Foley then quit. It was a mostly just tons of bleeding and pain, no wrestling involved at all.

King Booker vs. Batista for the World title is up now. These guys are in a terrible position on the show with a dead angle and following two legends matches. Really bad. Everyone knew it, too. Crowd not much into it and Batista had nothing. He was is slow and tentative on everything he did. The fans will overlook it in Hogan, and I can't say they noticed it in Batista as much as he never got them going. Booker was okay, nothing more. Finish was Batista setting up a finish when Sharmell jumped on his back for the DQ. Post-match was supposed to be Batista giving him the Batista bomb, but he lost Booker the first time and had to do it a second time.

DX vs. McMahons is next. McMahons will have Umaga interfering and DX has a secret monster, who could be Khali. DX couldn't get the crowd going even one-third as loud as Hogan did, and you could see in HHH's face he wasn't happy about it, even after doing the cheap plug for Boston. The surprise was Kane, not Khali. Early in the match DX dispatched all five Spirit Squad members. Then it was Finlay, Show, Regal and Kennedy who laid out DX with Show putting HHH through the ECW table. For several minutes Vince & Shane beat up Shawn. HHH recovered. Final saw Shane tease doing a Van Terminator on HHH, but Shawn superkicked him. HHH hit Vince with a garbage can, Shawn used a superkick and HHH pinned Vince after a pedigree. It was good for what it was. Michaels hurt his right arm legit, maybe a shoulder separation or dislocation, when he and Shane went over the top rope on a clothesline bump together. You could see he was hurting bad and couldn't raise his arm.

Edge vs. John Cena is up last as the main event. Title can change hands via DQ. Real good main event. Several times Lita was about to interfere but Edge waved her off because he'd get DQ'd. Crowd booed Cena most of the match, but by the end the pro-Cena fans were a lot louder. Finish saw Lita give Edge Knux. Cena had both Edge & Lita on his back for a double FU. He dropped Lita and the Edge escaped and hit Cena with the Knux and got the pin to keep the title.

Summerslam actually had potential to be good, so it was dissapointing. Rey/Chavo was good aside from Vicki. It was nice when the crowd booed all three of them.

Show/Sabu was terrible. Sabu was just plain awful.

Hogan/Orton was alright considering how Hogan shouldn't be wrestling. Orton is pretty much fucked now. Losing to a 53 year old man who can't do squats isn't gonna help him unless they do a rematch.

I really enjoyed Flair/Foley, though it was a little short. Booker/Batista was slow and boring, it basically exposed Batista's rust. It is good that Booker retained though.

DX/McMahons was the typical stuff they've been doing for the whole year, only with more drama. Also Finlay stiffing HBK before the match was fun.

Cena/Edge was really good, just what they needed to keep the angle going.


It turned out decent but no more than that, I'm happy I didn't pay for it.

Meltzer is sounding more pretentious than usual.

Um, so? Who cares? I've studied to be a dialectian and I could care less.

I would've given the match about 15:00, so around 13 minutes isn't bad - especailly if you consider it's a 55 and 40 year old man juicing from the start. No wrestler should bleed for more than a few minutes before the match ends.

And as for Hogan's win, of course Hogan was going to win. Hogan has never losed at SummerSlam in his entire career. Why should Hogan put over Orton at SummerSlam when Undertaker wouldn't put over Orton at WrestleMania. Orton losed at WrestleMania to Undertaker, but won at SummerSlam; I see Orton losing at SummerSlam, but winning against Hogan at Royal Rumble or WrestleMania. If we're not going to see Hogan/Austin, they might as well book Hogan/Orton.
