CM Punk wins a brutal TLC match, but gets left lying by a surprise return! Elsewhere Randy Orton retained his title in a crazy match and both Rey Misterio and JeriShow retained! Click for more!
Welcome one and all to 411's SummerSlam report with me, Chris Lansdell. Before you ask, those of you looking for match times and ratings can find them in the Instant Access column which the mercurial Scott Slimmer will have up shortly. So without further ado...LET'S BOOGIE!
DX are making shadow puppets in front of the SummerSlam opening clip. No, really. HBK presses the wrong button and the screen goes blank, leaving the two of them to make unfunny jokes again. SHOWTIME!
Rey is once again in Steelers colours. Wait, no that's purple. Rams colours. I think. Wait, I am now assured it's actually Vikings colours.
Dolph starts off with shots in the corner but Rey reverses it. Dolph with a whip and a nice powerslam for 2. Schoolboy gets 2 more for Dolph. Impressive start. More corner beatery by Dolph. Rey avoids a charge, charges himself but Dolph elevates him...Rey lands ON HIS FEET on the top rope! Moonsault press!! 1...2...no. Dolph is on the floor, a rana off the apron by Rey and Dolph hits the rail AND the cameraman. Poor Sim Snuka. Rey rolls Dolph in, he tries to go up top but Dolph meets him with rights and goes up top. Rey beats him down and tries a rana from the top OH GOD DAMN Ziggler Ganso bombed him, completely by mistake. Ziggler covers by holding on and hits a buckle bomb! 2 count only. Ziggler locks in a headlock, then hits a high leaping elbow for 2. Back to the headlock now, transitioned into a body scissors/chinlock combo. Rey tries to punch his way out but Ziggler gets some knees and charges Rey in the corner...drop toehold by Rey! Ziggler hits the turnbuckle and Rey measures him...HUGE clothesline by Ziggler. Fireman's carry...he wouldn't hit a DVD would he? No, gutbuster connects and back to the chinlock. Another whip and charge, Ziggler misses again. Springboard La Silla by Rey! Rey rolls through a sunset flip and kicks Dolph's head to San Francisco. 1...2...no. Rey comes flying off the ropes with a springboard crossbody but gets nothing but Dolph's feet in a dropkick counter. Rey avoids another charge in the corner and gets a sunset flip, Dolph counters and levels Rey with a clothesline again. Rey slips out the back of a back suplex and gets an enziguiri! 619 position...Dolph slips to the outside! Nice counter. He trips Rey and hits a running Rocker Dropper! 1...2...2.8227! ANOTHER charge countered, by a boot this time from Rey, and Rey does a spinny tilt-a-whirl rollup for 2. Ziggler once again regains control but Rey gets a lucha DDT counter for 2. Dropkick to the ass by Rey! 619 connects! Splash time...MISSES! 1...2...2.9006! Ziggler is frustrated now. There is a Ziggler chant in LA. Ziggler with corner beatery and a big kick to Rey's face sends him to the apron. Dolph has Rey in a fireman's carry on the top! COUNTERED! Top rope rana! 1...2...3!!!
Winner: Rey Misterio via pinfall (top rope rana)
Josh is with MVP and Swagger. Swagger talks about the fact that he is great and MVP is an ex-con. MVP is just a stepping stone. MVP says Swagger might have fought for a trophy but he fought for survival.
MVP vs. Jack Swagger
The Special Ed Gorilla seems to have lost his pyro. The crowd is DEAD for MVP. Boring midcard feuds just don't cut it.
Swagger tries an amateur takedown but MVP reverses for a quick 1 count. MVP avoids a charge and hits a clothesline, then a side slam. He sets for the Ballin' elbow but Swagger bails to the floor, where he is hit with an MVP crossbody to the outside. Back inside and MVP gets a 2 count. MVP tries a tornado DDT but Swagger yanks him off the top rope, MVP landed badly there. BIG whip by Swagger and a forearm shiver to the back. OLD SCHOOL. He tries it one too many times and MVP gets an elbow but Swagger locks in an abdominal stretch. Man, this commentary tonight is doing nothing for me. Just really blah. MVP escapes the stretch and tries a hip toss but sells the back before getting leveled with a clothesline. A pair of covers get a brace of 2 counts, and then Swagger locks in a Steiner Recliner. MVP counters with an electric chair drop! 1...2...no. I think the crowd would rather watch Rosie O'Donnell and Donald Trump again. Forearms by MVP and a big right hand, followed by a jawjacker. BALLIN! 1...2...no. Cole says that was his best Kobe impression. They're not in Colorado, I won't make that joke. Swagger regains control and tries the Vader Bomb, MVP gets the knees up! KAWADA KICK! Playmaker! 1...2...3!
Winner: MVP via pinfall (Playmaker)
We see Luke Perry at ringside. We get a montage of Raw guest hosts and now some random blonde, who is allegedly Nancy O'Dell, is pimping some charity. She talks to Freddie Prinze Jr and the crowd are crapping all over this. Nancy confirms she will be a guest host and asks for tips.
Ooooh new music for JeriShow, and it no longer makes my ears bleed. Jericho has a mic and says there are a lot of celebrities here, but that don't impress him much, ah ah ah-oo. They are beyond celebrities, they are by far the most famous people in this arena tonight. Same promo we've heard every week from Jericho. He passes the mic to Show who is interrupted by Cryme Time's theme. Interesting to note that, should they win, this would be Cryme Tyme's first tag title reign.
JTG amd Jericho to start. Jericho gets the shoulder block but then eats the flying back elbow. Off the ropes with a blockbuster by JTG and he gets a quick 2. Jericho gets up faster and gets control, he counters a knee into a Walls attempt but JTG punches out so Jericho catapults him to the top, JTG regains his balance and hits the flying scissor leg for 2. Jericho levels JTG with a right and here comes the beef. Headbutt and a LOUD chop by Show. Now he applies a headlock. Of course he could tap a guy out with that. Shot to the ribs and another big chop. Show with a whip but JTG gets the boots up to meet the charge and tags in Shad! Right hands and a pair of shoulders don't take Show down, Show counters a whip but Shad avoids the charge and military presses Jericho....and DOWN chest first. CRUNCH! Show spears him out of his boots. Show steps on his head, hits a chop and tags Jericho. Jericho toys with Shad, which is possibly a bad idea, and Shad proves me right with a large foot. Jericho knocks JTG off the apron to prevent the tag and then tags Show back in. MASTERLOCK TIME! Well, a full nelson by Show anyway. Show releases the hold before it gets broken and tags in Jericho who misses an elbow drop. Jericho has a sleeper locked in, Shad breaks out and gets a powerslam! Both men are down and there's the tag! A pair of leaping clotheslines by JTG, a whip and the Mugshot! He smacks Show then hits a spinng clothesline drop for 2! Show breaks the pin so Shad takes him up and over to the floor, SCHOOLBOY by JTG! 1...2...no!!! Jericho locks in the Walls! JTG is fighting it and fighting hard...he makes the ropes! RIGHT HOOK from the outside by Show!!! Jericho covers! 1...2..3!
Winners: JeriShow via pinfall (Jericho on JTG, Show right hand)
Punk cuts a promo on every pop-culture icon around, talking about an alleged screenplay for a Jeff Hardy movie. Well if that's real, it explains where Jeff is going. Good promo though.
Kane vs. The Great Khali
So if Runjin Singh and Khali are brothers, did Mr and Mrs Singh not have enough Miracle Gro to put in both their kids' chicken korma? Better yet, is anyone except Small looking forward to this? Runjin Singh is dancing as usual, guess he wasn't too traumatised then.
Kane tries to get a quick start but Khali muscles him to the corner and beats him down. The ref calls for the break and Kane comes back strong, but Khali just tosses him casually to the floor. Kane snaps Khali's arm over the top rope but Khali hit s a clothesline with it anyway. Khali misses a legdrop and that allows Kane to gain control. Big elbow drop by Kane. Goozle! Khali breaks it and goes for the Punjabi Plunge! Kane fights that off but gets leveled. 2 count for Khali. Mounted punches by Khali gets a 1 count. Clothesline in the corner by Khali and a HUGE chop, but Kane comes back with a shot of his own and a top rope clothesline. 1...2...no. Chinlock by Kane now and he knocks some shots into the head of Khali. This is a LONG chinlock. Khali comes back with an elbow and a BIG boot. BRAIN CHOP! 1...2...2.7997! BRAIN SQUEEZE! Kane makes the ropes and while he's there drags Runjin in the ring! He pushes the runt of the litter into Khali, dropkicks the hell out of Khali's knee and spikes a DDT! 1...2...3!
Winner: Kane via pinfall (DDT)
More celebs are shown, including Slash and Robert Patrick.
DX vs. Legacy
DX clearly have some pull around these parts, as the US Army comes out along with the equivalent of the national debt in pyro. Oooh firecracker machine guns. Spiffy. More pyro. Oh good Lord they're on a tank with pyro coming from the gun. That's some entrance. So where's Legacy's tank? They couldn't even give them some IEDs?
HHH and DiBiase to start. DiBiase beats down HHH in the corner but HHH turns the tables and then levels DiBiase with a clothesline. Suplex by HHH and a kneedrop gets 2. HHH drops his head and gets kicked in it, DiBiase tags Cody who runs into a "vintage knee". Cody is stuck between HHH and HBK, so he figures it would be a good idea to ask Shawn what the five fingers said to the face.
HHH tags Michaels, they run the ropes and Cody slaps him again! HBK takes him down and lays in some shots, then gets a Lou Thesz press and more right hands! Back to their feet, SLAP by Michaels! HBK sets for Sweet Chin Music but Cody bails, HHH throws him right back in and he bails again. Cody charges into a drop toehold and a headlock by HBK. Back suplex by Cody to escape and a tag to DiBiase. HBK takes him to the corner and hits a series of big chops. An HBK whip is reversed, he does the trademark bump and then gets decapitated by a DiBiase clothesline. Tag to Cody who gets a cover for 2. Scoop slam by Rhodes and a knee drop gets 2. Tag to DiBiase who comes in with an elbow for 2 more. Chinlock applied by DiBiase, Michaels fights out and hits a neckbreaker as DiBiase drops his head too early. Tag made to HHH who comes in with big rights, a whip is reversed and Cody gets his knee up to the back. HHH drags him in and beats him down, but gets caught by DiBiase and catapulted to the corner. Spinebuster to DiBiase! Spinebuster to Rhodes! Pedigree is broken up, HBK is in and they throw Rhodes to the floor! HHH lifts HBK up and over and onto Rhodes! DIBIASE WITH A NUTSHOT! Legacy firmly in control now with shots and quick tags. Nothing revolutionary here. Chinlock reapplied by DiBiase, HHH gets to his feet and is inches away from the tag before DiBiase drags him down again. HHH twists and turns and gets a back suplex to break the hold. Rhodes is in, he kicks HHH in the gut and gets a DDT for 2 to stop the tag. Jacknife cover also gets 2. Rhodes applies...an armbar? Well no, it's something else, sort of a half facelock. HHH gets a back body drop to escape, DiBiase tags in and knocks HBK off the apron. More corner beatery on HHH by DiBiase, HHH fights back and they exchange blows. DiBiase charges and HHH throws him outside!!! HBK is in! Clotheslines, inverted atomic, chop, atomic! Flying forearm! Kip up and DiBiase NAILS HBK from behind with a clothesline! HHH takes DiBiase to the floor while Rhodes climbs the ropes...flying elbow MISSES! HBK now goes up top to hit his own! Rhodes catches him and crotches him! Rhodes goes up for a superplex, HBK fights it off and knocks Rhodes down to the mat! THERE'S a flying elbow!...into the knees! 1...2...2.8224! Rhodes tries the CrossRhodes but HBK counters into a figure four! DiBiase comes in from nowhere to break it up! HHH in and tries a Pedigree on DiBiase, broken up by Rhodes! HBK tries a Sweet Chin Music, countered! Rabbit punch by Cody and he hits the CrossRhodes! 1...2...HHH breaks it up! DiBiase tries to come in, the ref stops him...Pedigree to Rhodes! The ref takes HHH out of the ring...DREAM STREET to HBK! Both men are out cold as DiBiase and HHH fight on the outside! They're up, barely, at 9! SWEET CHIN MUSIC! 1...2..3!
Winners: D-Generation X via pinfall (Michaels on Rhodes, Sweet Chin Music)
GO! Ahh it's good to get an ECW match on the card. Regal comes down with Ebony and Ivory, sitting together in perfect harmony. See, I'd be shitting myself. So is the ECW title actually considered "gold", since it has none?
BULLSHIT! Christian hits the Killswitch while Regal is taking off his swank smoking jacket! What a load of fuck. Kozlov and Jackson proceed to smush Christian before Regal applies the Regal Stretch.
Winner: Christian via pinfall (Killswitch)
They do a recap of SummerSlam Axxess and then the Orton-Cena feud. All this time could have been spent on Regal-Christian.
There is no cavalcade of boo for Cena tonight. As for Orton...well, he hears voices in his head. They counsel him, they understand. Cole mentions Orton becoming the youngest WWE champion ever, 5 years ago. And who did he beat for that title, Cole? That's what I thought.
They circle before locking up. Ah, there are the boos for Cena. He gets a waistlock takedown which Orton counters and they're both up. Cena grabs an armbar but gets surprised by a stiff right from Orton. Corner beatdown from Orton and some kicks in the ribs, but Cena explodes from the corner with some stiff shots and gets a 2 count. Orton though comes back with a nasty back elbow to the head. More shots in the corner by Orton and a HARD whip. Orton measures Cena and kicks him in the head, then lets Cena crawl his way to his feet before whipping him hard to the opposite corner. Orton Stomp time! HIGH knee drop by Orton gets 2. Cena gets to his feet and tries to fight back but Orton hits the chinlock-backbreaker for 2. Chinlock applied now. Cena stays in it for a looong time before running Orton back into the corner to break the hold. Clotheslines by Cena! Blue Thunder Bomb! You can't see him! Attitude Adjustment countered into a powerslam by Orton! 1...2...no. Orton stomps away again and now he's lining up another knee...Cena moves! Rights by Cena, he comes off the ropes and goes for the flying shoulder tackle...Orton has it scouted! Cena goes to the floor! He makes his way back in and Orton grabs Cena's head...rope-assisted DDT! 1...2...no! Orton is set again, lining up an RKO. No, he changes his mind and goes for the point after touchdown...Cena moves! Throwback by Cena! To the top...Rocker Dropper over halfway across the ring! 2 count only. Cena gets him up for the Attitude Adjustment but Orton grabs the top rope to block! Cena lets him down and they each hit a clothesline! Both men up at 8 and they exchange blows. This crowd is really split and it's great. Cena wins the exchange and hits a baaaaaaaaack body drop...so Orton pushes the ref. BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT! Lillian says Orton is the winner and new champion. Huh?
Winner: John Cena via...wait! Lillian has something else to say...Mr McMahon has restarted the match! And if Orton gets DQ'd, he loses the title!
Side slam by Cena gets a quick 2. Hard whip by Cena and they go to the floor, Cena takes Orton to the railing but Orton comes back and gets a kick to the gut, then whips Cena into the steps. He rolls Cena back inside and gets a 2 count. Another cover, 1 count this time. And again, same result. Orton goes and gets his belt, then walks off! Gee I wonder what happens here. Lillian botches the announcement again. Orton comes back into the ring and Cena goes right for the STF! Orton escapes, RKO attempt is countered, Attitude Adjustment attempt is countered! Schoolboy! Orton is on the ropes! 1...2...3!!!
Winner: Randy Orton via pinfal...NO! Another ref is out to tell the original, inept ref what happened! The match is restarted AGAIN and Cena gets the STF!!! Orton is fighting for the ropes, Cena breaks the hold to drag Orton back and it looks like Orton tapped! Wait...what? A guy in jeans and a white shirts is in the ring choking the ref! They don't show his face and security takes him out. Orton and Cena look in bewildered. The thing is, they show security taking the guy out so it's clearly not a fan. Looked like Joe Hennig or Brett DiBiase to me. The ref and Cena are in the ring looking confused, Cena goes to bring Orton in the ring but Orton snaps his neck over the rope! Back inside goes Orton, RKO! 1...2...3!
This is going to rock my face. And my fingers. JR references the Second City Saints! Hardy looks focused. Here we go!
They lock up and Punk gets control with some sick-looking knees and a series of stomps. He throws Hardy outside and goes for a chair. Punk measures Hardy and drives the chair into his midsection, then slams it over his back. Punk sets up a ladder and climbs but Hardy pushes the ladder at the last minute! Aggressive beatdown in the corner by Jeff, he then hits the mule kikc in the corner which JR says is called the Hardy-ac arrest. Ugh. Hardy is going to climb now but Punk kicks the ladder out from under him! Punk tries for a GTS but Jeff escapes and shoves Punk into the ladder! Jeff sets a chair and goes for Poetry in Motion...Punk catches him! He drives Hardy down across the back of the chair, back first! Damn. Punk grabs the ladder and slams it down on Jeff repeatedly, he whips Jeff who avoids the contact with the corner but not with Punk's legs as he eats a spinning heel kick. Hardy is thrown outside and Punk measures him from inside...tope suicida! Punk has him a table now. He tries to wrap the chair around Jeff's head but Jeff fights it off, so Punk charges with the chair and hits nothing but ring post! Hardy fights back and whips Punk into the steps, Punk leaps up on top of them and tries to jump on Hardy...WHAM! Hardy hits a line drive to centre field! Back back back back...GONE! Poetry in Motion by Jeff connects! He folds up a chair and launches it at the back of Punk, then puts Punk on the table. Hardy goes up top! SPLASH MISSES! Jeff goes through the table! Punk fetches another ladder and takes it in the ring. Man JR and Cole especially are awful tonight. Punk tries to climb, Jeff stops him and climbs over him, he almost has it! PUNK GRABS HIM FOR A GTS FROM THE LADDER! No way. No Way! SUNSET BOMB by Jeff counters! Jeff sets the ladder and climbs slowly now, he has a hand on the belt but Punk pushes the ladder and Hardy lands in the ropes, legs spread in a way normally only seen on Skinemax. Punk hauls Hardy from the outside to the top and SUPERPLEXES HIM TO THE LADDER! That hurt Punk too! Let's ask Blaccu-Weather Meteorologist Ollie Williams what he thought of that move. Ollie?
THEY CRAZY
Thanks Ollie. Now this! TWIST OF FATE by Hardy out of nowhere! He goes up top..SWANT-Knees! Punk blocked it! High running knee by Punk, he tries the bulldog but Hardy picks him up and dumps him out of the ring through a table on the floor!!! Hardy climbs after a while, but PUNK! Springboard attack off the top, taking Jeff off the ldder! To the outside now, Punk again wraps the chair around Jeff's head and tries to take him to the post but Hardy blocks! Punk to the post! Hardy has a chair now and WEARS Punk out with it! Hardy is doing some feng shui at ringside and hits a monitor shot while he's at it. Punk is on the announce table and gets smacked with a couple of chair shots, and Hardy has a ladder that is easily 15 feet high. Possibly more. Off comes the shirt! Yeah I'd say 15-18 feet. Hardy climbs to the very tippy top and the crowd are going nuts. Please don't die Jeff! SWANTON OFF THE LADDER! HE HIT IT! Both men are down and out and the refs are calling for help. They're strapping Jeff to a back board and putting on a neck brace, Punk is in the ring though! Hardy refuses help and tries to get back into the ring! Punk is not even on the first rung yet as Hardy stumbles through the ropes. Punk climbs with urgency, Hardy climbs the other wide and they exchange blows atop the ladder! Punk knocks Jeff off the ladder and takes the belt!
Winner: CM Punk via retrieval
Punk is standing over Jeff Hardy with the belt. GONG! Lights go out! They come back up and Punk is still standing over...UNDERTAKER! Punk has no idea! He looks down and you can almost hear his bowels vacate! Goozle! CHOKESLAM! We fade to black with Taker at the rop of the ramp posing!

Posted By: Brad (Guest) on August 23, 2009 at 11:12 PM
Two intensely overbooked title matches to end the show, but at least Punk/Hardy was very satisfying (even though I wanted a stronger Punk win- maybe he could have teased doing a high risk move from the ladder on the downed Hardy and then stopping, taunting the fans, and getting the belt).
Punk has to go from Hardy to Taker- quite the style change
Posted By: DL (Guest) on August 23, 2009 at 11:13 PM
Shame they didn't kill off Jeff tonight. Maybe Friday?
Have Jeff come out and publicly quit only to have Punk murderize him. And why turn Matt Hardy face and have him pin Punk if Undertaker returns to be Punks next challenger? How is Matt supposed to compete with Undertaker? And what about John Morrison? If it's hard for Matt it's near impossible for the Shamon of Smexy? Punk/Undertaker is Wrestlemania worthy, why do it now?

Rey Mysterio gets another win. This little, no talent, horrible selling offense, turd is the most over rated piece of excrement I have ever seen in wrestling.Viva la punta.
Posted By: John (Guest) on August 23, 2009 at 11:14 PM
Taker v. Punk will rock this entire world. I thought everything that got more than 6 minutes on this PPV to be very good with the opener and tag right around the *** mark and the DX/WWE/TLC all to be near ****. This should
Swagger/MVP and Kane/Khali should have went towards the tag titles and ECW and this woukd have been the best PPV in a long time. I think as is it still stands as the best WWE offering of the year.

pretty much a suck fest except for the tlc match. glad i didnt buy it on ppv. but i did blow a couple bucks for admission to a blast area to watch it. what a shame cause i could have used those couple of bucks for something more meaningful like BEER,

"Punk knocks Jeff off the ladder and takes the belt!"
Talk about a dull finish.

The overbooking of the Orton/Cena match was actually quite amusing.

"This little, no talent, horrible selling offense, turd is the most over rated piece of excrement I have ever seen in wrestling."
HBK?
i gotta disagree, he was awesome when he was all coked out...of course, he spent every match so baked that he couldn't feel anything, but who care...oh...sorry, i just realised that you said 'Mysterio.'
yea Ray Mysterio is a bit overrated too.
Posted By: Darth Mortis (Guest) on August 23, 2009 at 11:23 PM
i thought they were building towards punk matt hardy than morrison than mysterio than finally finish the year wit taker at wrestlemania anyway i thought tht this was a good ppv i wish there were more use of the table though
Posted By: jp (Guest) on August 23, 2009 at 11:25 PM
Orton winning works for me. DX beating another tag teams on the rise kind of suxs. Royally screwing ECW fans out of their money. WTG WWE

Posted By: Bill (Guest) on August 23, 2009 at 11:27 PM
Fun little show
ECW match though was pure BS at its finest.
TLC lived up the hype! Hardy's going out party was extreme.
And Takers return was shocking.
CM Punk vs Taker will be a amazing feud
RKO vs STFU was eh, raw died to me along time ago.

Did you guys even watch the PPV?
This was the PPV of the year. By far. Every match was excellent. Even the ECW Title match, even though it only lasted for 2 seconds, served its purpose.
Anyone who says "hurr this sucked" "grr I hate Cena/Orton!" "OVERBOOKED MESS HURR" is a typical Internet smark. This PPV rocked.
Excellent job WWE. Now watch as the entire IWC continues to whine. They'll NEVER be satisfied.

To anyone doubting the realness of the fan interference in the WWE Championship match, they actually followed him with the camera. Usually they just escort them out and give them as little notice as possible.
Good show! Dolph looked good, Jericho and Show and DX both came out on top in convincing tag matches that really looked like toss-ups. TLC rocked and the right man left with the belt. Taker's return was too early, as I want Punk to END THE STREAK!! WOOT!!!

Bill, ECW and WCW have been dead for many years bro.
Rey sucks.
Reys offense is so unbelievable, its hard to watch. I don't care if he did do a bunch of gymnastics back in a bingo parlor or with Juventud back in Atlanta . He sucks now.

WWE overbooked that match to make orton look so cheap and he still gotta pop at the end hahha lol, wwe is missing the boat with orton honestly

Great PPV and a brilliant showcase for the young talents of Ziggler, Legacy, MVP and Swagger.
I had to chuckle to myself as I watched the Cena/Orton match and adopted a cynical sneer at the finishing segment, not realising that the only reason I was doing it was because I've became so immersed in the IWC that I immediately KNEW the general reaction from those in the comments section.
I quickly let go of the sneer as I realised the match was alot better than I expected, and that even giving a seconds thought to the gripes of internet nerds was extremely pathetic; were this the Attitude era, you assholes would love it.
But of course, wrestling websites came along and ruined it all for ya!
Congrats especially to HHH and HBK for delivering an awesome selfless match (save for the intro... but hey, the 17,000 in attendance didn't appear to get the memo about HHH being an asshole, so I'll let that moment of egotism slide!)

Sounds like a pretty mediocre show to be honest. I can deal with that. I just wish Ziggler would have won. It would have given him all the momentum in the world, but that's out the window now in favor of inexplicably keeping the belt on Mysterio. I don't get it.
The Orton/Cena finish sounds like a cluster-freaking-fuck. It's like they knew how trite the whole thing was going to be and wanted to do something, anything to spice it up.

Over rated. Have you seen Mysterio wrestle at all? One of the best in the business.
I'll admit, hes slowing down but the guys getting tired and he deserves a break.
Posted By: Jerry (Guest) on August 23, 2009 at 11:50 PM
so who was it that did the run-in in the orton match. surely someone can verify if it was hennig jr/brett di biase/steamboat jr/whoever it was.
Posted By: Guest#8932 (Guest) on August 23, 2009 at 11:50 PM
Very satisfying PPV tonight...doesn't happen often.
Although having THREE Dusty Finishes during the WWE Title match was bullshit. I'm guessing either another DiBiase or Joe Henning was the suspect who jumped the guard rail...or maybe it was new signee Bryan Danielson?
Posted By: Ramsey (Guest) on August 23, 2009 at 11:55 PM
PPV of the year. Not one bad match. Even Kane/Khali was decent for two huge slow wrestlers. Vince hates ECW, so that was expected. But bot the main tiltle matches were epic!! For those that didn't actually get to see the PPV, don't go off of these recaps because they don't give you the feeling that you get by actually watching the show. Orton/Cena was much better than expected, aside from Lillian's botch. The "fan" was a work, and the match was actually exciting. TLC was great. Thank you Jeff, and have good vacation. See you next year. Dolph your awesome, and keep it up, your time will come. Great PPV. I recommend any wrestling fan to see it. The IWC can Suck It.
Posted By: Dave (Guest) on August 23, 2009 at 11:58 PM
i cant tell from the camera view of the fan, but when i was watching the show my first instinct was that Ted Dibiase had interfered. I am almost now convinced it was Brett Dibiase. Guess we will see

The people who shit on Orton/Cena are the same people who clamor for Paul Heyman (who was notorious for this same kind of booking, which failes as many times as it succeeded) to get the TNA job. What they don't understand is there is booking and there is overbooking. What we got with Cena and Orton tonight was simply booking and it was perfect as the crowd was absolutely molten and guess what the storytelling here is excellent. This match was everything a **** Heyman main event ever was, only with wrestlers people pay to see. That's not a knock on ol' ECW but fuck people just can't get over themselves. Orton is one of the best worker's in the business today and his deliberate style makes every match he's in far more watchable. So many in the IWC have been trained to pop only for high spots and workrate, but long before keyboards were en vogue guys like Steamboat anf Flair were working hour long matches where 30 minutes would be Steamboat working the arm. Storytelling and Psychology are the name of the game and Orton is one of the best at it today. You can't blame him for the way WWE books him, but he does make you invest in his character maybe more than anyone in the business today but he gets shit on because he uses the chinlock. Has it ever occured to you guys that this move directly relates to all of his finishers (RKO/DDT/Punt to head)? Not to mention it's an instant heat grabber. I could go on forever. Long story short tonight's PPV was the best of the year, and fuck abyone who's bashing it because what they read. Unless you saw it, shut up.

The "fan" who did the run-in was planned. Look at the build on the guy. He's a wrestler of some sort. As soon as we saw him, the guys I was watching the PPV with were wondering what wrestler it was. At no point did we think that was a legit fan.

Ok...Fuck rey mysterio, He's been playing the same stale character, with the same generic moveset for years. The only reason he still has a job, is because he plays the horswaggle character too.
The guy who did the run in was no other than "Boogie Woogie Man" Jimmy Valiant. Who recently signed a contract with the WWE. DYN-O-MITE

I hate people that post about a show they never even watched...It was a pretty great show (outside of the ECW bullshit) even the midcard had some decent matches...Cryme Tyme and Legacy both lost their matches but both teams looked like fucking beasts that deserved to be against their veteran opponents and get the rub. Both title matches delivered the goods...i was worried Cena and Orton would be boring as shit...but what you would blindly describe as a clusterfuck was honestly a great bit of excitement...as each time the match was restarted, Orton kept having new ways to outsmart Cena over and over....and of course TLC was beyond awesome!! Stop shitting on things you don't even watch IWC!

Posted By: Guest#0650 (Guest) on August 24, 2009 at 01:10 AM
Ok, so let me get this straight. It's perfectly acceptable to have an overbooked World Title match in the WWE, but not acceptable anywhere else? Okayyyyyyyyyyy.
It's funny how people are so blind and resort to having to justify spending their money on this garbage by saying it was the greatest PPV in history!
In all seriousness, if it was so great, why was CM Punk, who had the only good match worth watching tonight, not given the chance to end the show celebrating, which would've given him even more heat going into Smackdown?
Oh, that's right, because blind sheep like yourselves cream over the Undertaker's entrance and once he buries CM Punk you will all do the same crap you always do, which is cheer for whomever has the coolest entrances.
I thankfully watched the show at my friend's house and I wanted his money back for all of the garbage they put out there tonight.
Guess it doesn't matter though about Orton. The WWE will once again repeat this mess month after month between him, Cena, HHH and Batista.
Way to build those new stars WWE!

Agree with your take on the show (even though you went about a half a star higher on each match than I would have, except for the Khali/Kane match, which I thought was surprisingly decent and worthy of 2 stars).
Good show overall

Those star ratings are ridiculous. I watched SSlam with friends, and bar getting behind Ziggler at the start, a laugh at DX with a tank, confusion at the orton match and jeff hardy suicide/taker returns, this PPV was NOT high quality.
MVP V Swagger, Jerishow V Cryme Tyme, Khali V Kane and Regal V Christian were all VERY average in their own way. MVP V Swagger couldnt get the crowd involved and had no psychology. Jerishow was ok(due to Jericho) but Cryme Tyme are uber sloppy. Kane V Khali? A complete and utter disaster in my view(Morrison, Miz, Zack Ryder, Matt Hardy, Kofi Kingston all sit backstage whilst THIS goes on?). ECW title is a joke, Regal is getting older but can still go, and could have had a hot little match, but we have to see DX on a tank for 10 minutes.
The Orton match got heat but that was mainly due to the utter confusion caused by Lilians botch, Mcmahon making orders like he is god(Why not involve Freddy Prinze as he was still TECHNICALLY in term as Guest Raw GM and actually at the show)? The run-in was a work, if it had been a fan for one, we wouldnt have had have had the intelligence to go for the ref, we would have jumped Cena!! They also showed him being removed, and pulled from the ring - WWE would change the camera angle. At least they TRIED to surprise me.
Punk V Hardy was a good match, nothing more nothing less. Taker returning was cool (Due to Punk's facial expression!) - really hope Punk doesn't get buried though.
Overall though, the undercard doesn't have enough happening in it. Very VERY flat....just like WWE at the moment.
Oh and because Michael Cole shouts TWENTY times that Legacy are having a great match, doesnt mean its true!!! Was HHH in the match? Or Ted? It was Shawn V Cody, with Cody dodging bullets!
1. Rey def. Dolph (***)

5. DX def. Legacy (**1/2)
6. Christian def. Regal (DUD)
7. Orton def. Cena (***)
8. Punk def. Jeff (*** 1/2)
Overall rating - Average and not memorable (See if you can remember any of the matches next year?)

Posted By: Flying Dutchman (Guest) on August 24, 2009 at 07:34 AM
I'll admit, the DX entrance for me screamed arrogance and pomposity BUT then the match started and I was pleasantly surprised. People are going to crap on HHH and Shawn for going over again but if you actually watched the math itself you noticed the subtle nuances in the way they both put over Legacy strongly in the match. Spots like when Cody slapped Shawn, you assumed Shawn would pummel him but Cody beat him to the punch and knocked him back down, no pun intended, plus all the finishers by Legacy. Just the way Legacy countered the "obvious" DX rally moves was cool to me. And the way Cole and King put over Legacy both during and after the match for giving DX all they wanted. The end result may make some people bitch but IMO Legacy came out looking pretty strong which is more than some people thought would happen coming in.
Posted By: OldSkool (Guest) on August 24, 2009 at 07:58 AM
The WWE really has it in for CM Punk, for whatever reason. He FINALLY wins a big match and what do they do? They write the Undertaker into the show to "punk" him out (WWE.com's pun, not mine). I'm really growing tired of WWE's writing. I understand CM Punk is a heel, but let the guy have one second of gloating. They let HHH have 15 years of it. If Punk loses the title at the next PPV, I'm done watching.
Posted By: Sink (Guest) on August 24, 2009 at 08:47 AM

HAHAHAHAHA That was good. Yeah, you can go with that. Yes Rey's better days are way behind him. And I think we can totally agree to disagree on liking anything he does in the ring. Character-wise, I don't think there's ever gonna be a way to change him, like a Jericho or any of those guys. He's just not that skilled on the mic. I still enjoy his matches somewhat, though(not like his earlier work)
That being said, I think Ziggler can be really good, and having him chase the title for longer can only make him better. I'm not a fan of fast-tracking new talent, so in my opinion there should be no rush in putting the title on him.

He has gloated plenty of times recently, also winning the title in the main event at Summerslam is a big deal & been put straight into a fued with Undertaker is also a big deal.

Posted By: jbardo (Guest) on August 24, 2009 at 11:48 AM
I see nothing wrong with Rey winning. I'm actually a fan of people holding titles for more than a few months. It makes the person winning it more over and helps to make better feuds when they last for an extended period. The only time I like short title runs is when it goes back and forth between two people several times. It makes people feel that both guys are on the top of their game.
Posted By: mogamer (Guest) on August 24, 2009 at 11:48 AM

WHya re you complaining Taker has put over alot of people in the past and CM Punk will be no exception Taker will make him look more of credible main eventer over the last 2 years Edge, Batista, Big Show came out looking storng after their feud with Taker despite the fact they lost more matches to taker but they still came out strong. And perhaps you are the only one who doesn't want to see thuis feud happen first you people complain that wwe gives us the same old matches and feuds and now when they give us something fresh you still complain what do you guys actually want, a cookie?
And this is to all the people who passed negative comments here I always try to ignore these negative and ridiculous comments but sometimes you guys really go over the board and piss me off. And you guys pretend to be these so called wrestling experts and talk like you know everything and how are things supposed to be done when the truth is you are just normal fans much like me so please don't try to tell the wwe what is the right thing they know what they are doing if they didn't than the company wouldn't have lasted for as long as it has. And you people have no right to judge a show when haven't watched it that is just utter and pure B.S All you people do is complain try to say something good for once.

CM Punk has had two title reigns for a total of 7 weeks. CM Punk has put over John Morrison, not once but twice, both as the champion. Every big match CM Punk does win, he wins only when his opponent is leaving the WWE to become a raging alcholic/drug addict or when someone is waiting in the wings to chokeslam him immediately following his victory. I wouldn't say he's actually being built up to be the next Stone Cold Steve Austin, would you?

overbooked title matches
================================
"overbooking" would imply that the booking ruined the match, when in this case, it MADE the Cena/Orton match ... (and I don't know how you would call Punk/Hardy overbooked.) What a lame, typical IWC response.
GREAT Summerslam!

The guy who did the run in was no other than "Boogie Woogie Man" Jimmy Valiant. Who recently signed a contract with the WWE. DYN-O-MITE

Umm don't think so. Valiant pushing 70. That was more than likely Hennings kid.
A "Perfect" addition to Legacy.

The ending is beyond bullshit--it's further proof that Vince McMahon has N-O respect for the fans! Jeff Hardy will always be the World Heavyweight Champion of my heart even though CM Skunk (CM Punk) holds the title at that moment. But Randy Orton slithered away with another tainted win because of a stupid-assed fan in the crowd. DX proved that they still rule the ring, but Legacy won't be RKO's henchmen for much longer if they keep losing while RKO cheats to win! Rey Mysterio is my other favorite WWE Superstar, but Dolph Ziggler is definitely one to watch. Kudos to MVP for winning against that lisping Jack Swagger, who I HATED as ECW Champion! But Christian got worked over worse than when he entered the ring--he's still ECW Champion, but William Regal isn't finished with him by a long shot!

Wahh! Punk doesn't bury every person on the roster! Wahh! They don't bring back Austin, Rock, Hogan, move Triple H to Smackdown, and dig out Benoit's corpse to job to Punk! Wahh!
And as far as the length of his first two title reigns go, they're still combined longer reigns than all three of Mick Foley's combined and he had a somewhat decent career, right?

I'm glad they let Rey use the top rope rana. Changing Mysterio's finish from that to the shitty 619 was a TERRIBLE idea.

Hey, reporter...they're was HUGE, UNDENIABLE boos for JOhn Cena. WTF is up with this ass kissing Cena reporting around here? The guy got booed out....they tried a duel chant twice but he got booed HARD AS FUCK all match long. There is no contesting that. Orton got basically a DX reaction compared to Cena....Cena looked like he was about to cry again before Orton's music played. Same look we see at every major PPV with the fans turn on him.

1. Jeff Hardy vs CM Punk was a great match.
2. Lilian is an idiot.
3. The ECW Title gets burried AGAIN?
4. Lilia is ugly.
5. DX won? Wow, I didn't see that one coming (sarcasm rules).
6. No John Morrison or Evan Bourne on PPV (yet again)?
7. Lilian is a stupid horse-faced moron.
8. The End.

It was much better than last years.
The Ending of the PPV was easily the highlight of the night.
Punk v Taker has potential to be an insane feud, especially if Punk goes over at Breaking Point.
Can u imagine if Taker goes for a Chokeslam, Punk reverses it, hits him with the Anaconda Vice, Taker passes out. Setting up rematch in Hell in a Cell. AWESOME!
Posted By: Ryan Haseldine (Guest) on August 25, 2009 at 01:25 AM
ooooh lets hope they use breaking point to bring that good ol annaconda vise back!
Posted By: Guest#4679 (Guest) on August 25, 2009 at 06:06 AM
I like how Undertaker can show up whenever the fuck he wants to and demand title shots. How about you earn it motherfucker. I hope CM Punk kicks his ass.

Rey Mysterio gets another win. This little, no talent, horrible selling offense, turd is the most over rated piece of excrement I have ever seen in wrestling.Viva la punta.
Posted By: John (Guest) on August 23, 2009 at 11:14 PM
Seriously what is this guy on. Rey mysterio has more talent than 90% of the roster. And this is after over a half dozen major knee injuries. Show some freaking repsect.
Posted By: nick (Guest) on August 25, 2009 at 02:37 PM
I think it is safe to say that CM Punk is undefeated in Ladder matches or matches with the ladder stipulation. (At least in the WWE he is.)
Posted By: guesthehe (Guest) on August 25, 2009 at 03:57 PM
i hate you for not rating this...i dont even know if the ppv was good not. worthless review
