Quick Post SummerSlam Thoughts...
Here are some quick SummerSlam thoughts as the show ended about 10 minutes ago...I will do a more complete version of this on Monday:
Mystero - Guerrero: Match was good, storyline was bad, and no one wants to see Vicki Guerrero run to ringside and scream at both men. Looks like she hurt her ankle knocking Mystero off the top rope. Match ending was okay, sets up for fued to continue, which I for one do not like.
Show - Sabu: Crowd does not care much for ECW, and it seems each passing week Tazz and Styles do not care either. This match was a mixed bag of table spots and bad wrestling. Show gets the win, I guess they didn't want to just hand Sabu the title. Couple of table spots missed and were botched which I thought the crowed let them off of without totally jumping on them.
Orton - Hogan: As stated here before, Hogan should lose, thus setting up a rematch. Of course he won, which kills this fued and puts him on the shelf for 8 months until WrestleMania in Detroit. Orton did as much as he could, and him losing in this spot does not really hurt him all that much. Still think Hogan could have lost and not looked bad in doing so.
Flair - Foley: The showstealer, the blood and barbed wire was heavy, as were the thumbtacks. No wrestling at all, which was fine. Not a bad match for two older guys who simply do not have it anymore. Flair's win but sicko attack at the end could signal a heel turn, and a turn for Foley and Melina to the good. We shall see, but nevertheless both guys will need serious stiches after this one.
Booker - Batista: This match should not have even taken place. Awful from the word go. Batista wins by DQ, big deal. Crowd also buried this one from the start. Hopefully they can build this thing up and make a good match from it in October or at Survivor Series.
DX - McMahon: Of course Vince and Shane needed help, and I thought the other guys helping them made this more believeable. Ending was okay, and it looked like Shane did hurt his arm going over the top. HHH looked mad that the crowd was not more into them. This DX could come to a fast end if the crowd does not stay behind them.
Cena - Edge: Liked it a lot. Liked the ending, and liked the knuckles angle. The fact that Edge won does not bother me one bit, and I think this back and forth fued will continue through the winter till they decide a challenger for Cena at WM 23.
Not a bad SummerSlam, maybe a little down from what I thought. More on Monday.
