    SummerSlam '08 Thread

    Yeah, it's tomorrow. Title matches seem like bores, but everything else looks to be good-great. The HIAC build has been great. And while Cena/Batista seems rushed, it's still two of the biggest legendssuperstars in this business (nod to Lex Luger)!

    Really, other than Khali/HHH, the card is more than solid:

    Hell in a Cell: Undertaker vs. Edge
    Edge's Murder


    This has match of the year written all over it. Taker won't be as rusty as when he came back last year and he's in with maybe the best wrestler today.

    WWE Championship: Triple H (c) vs. The Great Khali
    I'm going to poke my eyes and step on them


    This match will be horrible if HHH does the generic face in peril stuff. You know he is. Hey, remember the last time Khali had a title match at SummerSlam? I'll never be able to wipe the memory of being there for it.

    World Heavyweight Championship: CM Punk (c) vs. JBL
    Back to the midcard, nerd


    Is Punk for real? That'll be the story. I don't except a bad match, in fact, I think it'll be decent. But Punk loses so Cena can get his belt back and get revenge on JBL's cellulite ridden ***. Then he can retire.

    "ECW" Championship: Mark Henry (c) vs. Matt Hardy
    That belt is swank, though


    I don't know what to expect. Just hope somebody gets their *** kicked, somebody gets their wig split.

    John Cena vs. Batista
    No tag line, or build, neccessary


    Now this is what I'm talking about! Yeah, weak two week build...but it's CENA and BATISTA. They'll both bring the best out of eachother: Batista kicks *** like the cool mofo he is, while Cena bumps everywhere and sells like a mad man. No way this match isn't good.

    MVP vs. Jett Harvey
    Keep the junkies in the midcard


    Should be good. I expect MVP to win and get a throwaway title shot against HHH in September. Is it me, or does MVP look high in that picture?

    Winners Take All Intercontinental and Woman's Championship: Kofi Kingston (c) & Mickie James (c) vs. Santino Marella & Beth Pheonix
    Santino + Woman with big breasts = WIN~!!


    Will be funny. That's all I got.

    Oh yeah, some guy named Shawn Michaels will announce his next career move.

    So, there's my half-assed SS preview. Discuss the show here.

    I'll be headed out to Hooters to watch. Agreed on the title matches, but HIAC should be tremendous. Also looking forward to Hardy/MVP & Cena/Batista and hoping that they give those matches their due...

      Yeah, with only seven matches they should have enough time. I'm thinking HIAC goes around :40, Khali/HHH around :8, Punk/JBL :10, "ECW" title :10, Cena/Batista :15, MVP/Hardy :15 and the tag match at like :5. Add HBK for about :20 and that's about 125 minutes. Some videos and BOOM, 2.5 hour PPV.

      Wow, I just did fantasy match times. That has to be a new level of nerd-dom.

        I think Edge is gonna pull out a win in the HIAC.He'll take the beating of his life in the process,but someone will come to his rescue and cost Taker the match.Expecting a Bloody war here.

        JBL will win the title,but I see it as a way to set up him and Batista going at it.Batista will win the title and then continue a fued with Cena.

          I hope Edge wins. Should be a great match anyway.

          If Punk doesn't win I'm not watching Raw,not that I watch it much anymore anyway. I can't stand JBL,he was a great announcer but not a fan of his in ring stuff.

          I am a fan of Kofi so I hope he wins too. I'd like to see him vs. Borune.

            What the hell happened to wrestling? Summerslam is the 2nd biggest event of the year. You used to be able to see the story building for Summerslam a couple of months away. Now all these matches get thrown together a month or less away. The only one that really has any story to it is Taker and Edge. I've slowly been phasing out of wrestling lately there just isn't much substance to anything they do anymore. I will say Smackdown has been pretty decent since the draft. Does anyone remember the Austin Taker match from Summer Slam 98. That was huge. In my opinion that was the best build up to a match ever. Austin fights Foley in May and Taker comes down to make sure Mcmahon doesn't interfere. Taker costs Austin the belt in June by busting him open in a first blood match vs Kane. Austin wins belt back on Raw. Taker and Austin fight Mankind and Kane for tag titles in July. Taker and Austin for World Title in August. It was awesome the whole Highway to Hell build up. Anyone who watched wrestling then knows what i'm talking about. Sorry to get off topic. Vince needs to get his stuff together though his ratings are dropping fast with this crap that's on now.

              My friend is buying tonight, was going to go, but I think I'm going to build my Fable II pub money, without the cheat that is, so I'll get a copy in the morning. Other than the HITC match, I'm not to interested in this show. Hopefully Edge wins that match, but I'm not expecting him to with the Undertaker returning. Not usually the way it goes with him.

                              That punch looked pretty legit, her lip is swollen. ECW title match next, Matt Stryker in the booth? crazy.
