Its the event of the Summer, and the first joint PPV since WrestleMania XX is now a few weeks away.
Smackdown have fired their Main Event card into our view, when JBL and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Championship.
In a strong marquee match Eddie Guerrero will battle Kurt Angle, in his first match back as an active wrestler.
The Raw side of the main event should become clear after the outcome of the Ironman match tonight (Friday in the UK), but rumours of Randy Orton v Chris Benoit, HHH v Eugene and HBK v Kane are floating around.
Discuss all things SummerSlam here peeps

I dont think Michaels will come back at summerslam, he aint been away that long, but the triple h eugene match i think will happen, cause imo, eugene will screw hhh out of the title, and the beniot orton match mmmmmm maybe
Jbl and taker will proberly suck, and i dont think taker will take the belt unless taker comes back full time, as for the eddie and angle match im looking forward to that, i wont to see what style of wrestling angle has to do now since he was told he has to change his style

randy orton and beniot, mmmmmm thats a big push all of a sudden really, trips and eugene should be good, would be funny to see eugene win with a pedigree,
i do think orton and beniot will be a really good match, lets see how this fued will unfold, and how hunter reacts to it

Eugene at the moment uses other peoples moves, rock bottom, peoples elbow, he has done the crossface once and tried the pedigree once

Well, I'm dissapointed with Triple H/Eugene main eventing, want my reasons, read my Eugene thread. But Summerslam seema like it's going to be big. Maybe because it's the first time Raw and Smackdown are together since the brand split. I hope they continue Batista's push.

Triple H vs. Eugene 2 should be a descent match really, I mean the first one wasn't all that horrible. And I doubt Eugene will drop Trips with the pedigree. He will probably opt for a stunner...or be creative and use something new.
Orton = Champ... because the WWE forgot how to properly build people up, so they just figure since he is getting good heat NOW he will be championship material.
JBL vs Taker... meh, could be interesting until Taker either wins (doubtful) or gets DQ'ed.
Eddie vs. Angle won't steal the show, but it'll be a good match overall, I say it won't steal the show, because Angle is barely coming back and Eddie has been second guessing himself lately and its effecting his ring work.
And IF HBK comes back to take on Kane. I don't expect that to be a very good match at all. HBK will have to do way too much work in that match as the styles are WAY different.
Also I've seen a rumor about possibly having Jericho vs. Batista vs. Edge for the IC belt.. again watch them put it on the unready Batista. He needs a few more months in my opinion... but oh well.

Whst makes me angry, is that Taker said he WILL lose to JBL. I mean JBL as champ is one thing, but JBL defeating The Undertaker, that's gone to far. Eddie vs. Angle should be Okay, as Reaper said, it shouldn't steal the show, but The Mania match was pretty good.

Taker losing to JBL I dont think will be that bad a thing. Now i cant believe I'm saying this, but since becoming WWE Champ, JBL has improved.
His mic skills are excellent, and I enjoy his promos.
Randy Orton as champ, well it's gonna happen, so lets see how he runs with the ball at his young age. In the locker room, it would be intresting to see if being the man backstage affects him.
Trip v Eugene will be a good match, and I'm looking forward to it.
Eddie v Angle - Angle win
May I also say at this point, that Theodore Long as GM of Smackdown is inspired, so much so that I may watch Smackdown for him alone.

jbl's promo's are funny as fuck, angle will win with it being his comeback match!
imo orton will be fine with the belt, i dont think his ego will grow too much, and if it does batista can slap him back into shape (stiffarm of course)

Batista v Jericho at SS
I do genuinely fear that someone will get hurt by Batista. every time I watch him, I do worry that someone will get badly hurt.
Is there no one around who feels that a spell back in OVW, if only to fine tune his movesets would help him.
He had mis timed too many moves IMO, and others have been sent back for this
Is this a case of someone's stroke in the company keeping him in the big leagues?

i dont think it is completely down to trip keeping batitsta on tv every week, i do feel the guy has the ability himself, but we all know of vinni mcs love of the big men, so i would say it was vince more than trip keeping him on our screens!

We know vince like the bigger larger than life characters, but even he wouldnt want that at the expense of injured talent
would he?

Who do you all think will headline the event? JBL vs. Taker or Orton vs. Benoit. Even though I think the alumni should headline, I believe Orton vs. Benoit will be last on the card.

It would be a mistake to have JBL/Taker Headline. Especially if they are going through with pushing the young talent (by giving Orton the Belt), then again it wouldn't surprise me if Benoit/Orton was the match in Mid card. Either way its going to rock the socks completely off, you watch... better than you all think, I can feel it.

No doubt in my mind there either.

I can see cases for either match headlining the card
The JBL v Taker match will prob be last on, simply because Mania was finished with the Raw World Title Match.
However, because of the emphasis on youth, I can see the case for Orton v Benoit ending the show.
Either way I can see the two title matches ending the PPV.

It's safe to say the only match that will interest me is Angle/Eddie as both are top quality and are dead-certs to put on a great match. As for the other matches I'm not expecting much excitement, or interest. I think this Summerslam will, in short, suck the big one.

Im looking out for Eugene to pedigree hunter, and prays edge looses the ic title, and goes away to find another job, one far far away

^LOL
I think Edge must be pretty pissed off to find that he had to move out of the main event slot, with HHH not going to film his movie, only for Randy Orton to be given the slot insted.
But hey, Im hoping SummerSlam dont suck, coz Rocky is coming down to watch is at Casa Del McKenna
