Better than 07's, but that aint saying much

Summer Slam had some decent matches but really nothing that will be remembered maybe except for the I Quit Match but other than that not a lot of good matches or segments at all. I do feel this Summer Slam was a tad better than Summer Slam 2007.

1. Rey Mysterio vs. Chavo Guererro
I really did enjoy watching this match but I personally didn't like the whole Eddie storyline. I believe this match would have been a whole lot better if it wasn't centered around him. Some nice high risk and some good brawling as well, I was a little shocked by the brawling between Rey & Chavo. The ending & interference defiantly hurt this one a lot but like I said I felt it would have been a better match if it wasn't based on Eddie. Nice opener. 3.5/5

2. Ecw World Championship
Big Show vs. Sabu- Extreme Rules
Pretty good match. Big Show took some hard head shots from Sabu in this one with the chair. Some nice table spots as well. Sabu also takes a brutal Vader bamb from the Big Show in this one. Pretty strong match from Ecw right here. Good match. 3.5/5

3. Randy Orton vs. Hulk Hogan
You knew this was just a matter of time that this was going to go down between probably the ultimate Legend and the Legend Killer. The match wasn't horrible at all but it did went down hill a few times during the match. Orton works on Hogan's leg for the better part of the duration of the match. It was a little short though but it wasn't all that bad of a
match. 3/5

4. "I Quit" Match
Ric Flair vs. Mick Foley
Pretty good match but I was shocked that Flair was going to go this violent but he did. There were some viscious shots with the barb wire in this one, Flair even knifehead chops Foley with the barb wire around his hand which was cool to see. Very bloody too in this one. I enjoyed this one as well but the ending defiantly took away from this one, I felt this match needed a cleaner ending then the way it did ended but good match nevertheless. 4/5

5. World Heavyweight Championship
Batista vs. King Booker w/ Sharmell
This match had bad written all over it and especially because of Booker's stupid a55 king gimmick he was doing during the time period. I didn't really enjoyed nothing from this match, I really hated this match. Nothing good I have to say about this one. The DQ at the end really made the match worst than it already was. Poor championship match. 1.5/5

6. D-Generation X vs. Mr. McMahon & Shane McMahon
I found this match more amusing than of anything. I really enjoyed how The McMahons took out Triple H with the announce table before Vince would officially start the match. The McMahons had the advantage for the most part of the match. I also liked how the McMahons was pulling off these legendary tag moves, I really got a kick out of that. More of a handicap match in the beginning but it turned out to be a better match later on down the road, I really liked this tag match but it was soon overshadowed thanks to their Hell in the Cell match at Unforgiven. 4/5

7. WWE Championship
Edge w/ Lita vs. John Cena
The match had a stupid stipulation cause if Edge got DQed on purpose than he would loose the title to Cena. The match did get kind of stupid when Lita was trying to give weapons to Edge for him to try to use them, I just found that part totally ridiculous. I'm very glad their TLC match made up for their horrible matches throughout the year. Another poor title match, least I thought it was. 2.5/5

Summer Slam wasn't all that good but I do felt it was better than 07's. I wouldn't recommend on getting this one, yall should invest in getting Unforgiven 06 before this one. Not a very good ppv to say the least. July 31, 2008

Better than Vengeance

Summerslam 06 should be remember as, Save my Man Summerslam 06. Cause every match involving a female companion resulted in her getting involved with the match. Which took away from at least two of them greatly.

Rey Mysterio vs. Chavo Guerrero
These two always deliver a great match that should be in your collection. This one was no exception. I just have to say I got tired of the Eddie storyline. And I don't find it bad at all if Chavo uses Eddie's old moves. That wasn't just his former tag team partner. That was his uncle. Its Rey who shouldn't be copying Eddie. Anyway a good match that featured some cool moves and brawling. However, Vickie's presence took away from the match greatly. 3/5

ECW Championship
Big Show vs. Sabu
A decent match with a few botched spots. Its only natural though since it involves Sabu hopping from tables to the ropes. Still a couple of good spots. With Show stomping a chair into scrap. And some high impact moves. The length of the match didn't hurt it either. 3.5/5

Legend vs. Legend Killer
Hulk Hogan vs. Randy Orton
Thank god this wasn't the main event. Hogan really loves to showboat. I understand he's an icon and all. But I can count with my fingers how many of his matches I can actually watch again and enjoy. This match consisted of the same thing last summerslam match consisted of. Hogan's opponent selling the beating to make him look better, then Hogan "hulking up" to deliver a finishing move I got sick of seeing more than 10 years ago. Decent but forgettable. 3/5

I Quit Match
Ric Flair vs. Mick Foley
The best match on the card for me. Not a wrestling match at all. Just pure brutality. Lots of blood and both men just beatin' the he11 out of each other. Barbwire was bought into play, to include thumbtacks. A great match, almost killed by a cheap ending with a chick getting involved. Still, this should make it to some brutal matches compilation one of these days down the road. 4/5

World Heavyweight Championship Match
King Booker vs. Batista
This feud got old very fast to me. I barely enjoyed any of their matches. And what little Booker had to work with he couldn't save this match. For me the match was just bad. With an even worst ending. Sharmell physically jumping into the match to draw the DQ. 2/5

DX vs. Vince and Shane
This match was good to me for a couple of reasons. It set up a new storyline, that resulted in a few very good matches between Kane and Umaga. It also helped set up a bunch of events that took place on RAW for the next few weeks and came to an awesome conclusion at Unforgiven. So this match served its purpose. However there were a couple of things that just didn't sit well with me. I did not like the way Vince and Shane desecrated legendary finishing moves by legendary tag teams. To include their poses. Still the match was decent at best and later forgotten by their very brutal and barbaric HINC match next month. I did like the ending though 4/5

WWE Championship Match
Edge vs. John Cena
The stipulation to this match was. If Edge got DQ'ed for any reason then he would lose the title. It was a little funny at times with Lita sending weapons in the ring, with Edge having to refuse them. The match was decent also and I won't say it sucked cause Cena is in it. What I didn't understand was Lita physically got into the match also and it didn't land the DQ. It defeated the entire purpose of making the stipulation in the first place. Still yet again, a decent match almost killed due to a womens interfernce. 3/5

Not a bad ppv but it was later outshined the very next month with Unforgiven. I also add, that ppv was possibly the best of that year.

WELL FIRST THE MCMAHONS HAVE SOME PEOPLE COME IN AND HELP BUT THE ONLY ONES THAT REALLY MATTER ARE UMAGA AND BIG SHOW. THEY BEAT UP DX FOR A WHILE BUT THEN KANE COMES OUT AND BEATS UP UMAGA. THEN AFTER ALL THIS THE MATCH STARTS. DX GETS BEAT FOR A WHILE BY THE MCMAHONS BUT THEN SHANE TRYS TO GO POST TO POST WITH A DROP KICK BUT GETS SOME SWEET CHIN MUSIC IN MID AIR!
