Wow man, that's one helluva overrating if ever I saw one. Silly finish with the multiple restarts - similar to the awful SummerSlam 2009 Cena/Orton - botched elbow drop leading to an audible argument berating by Michaels led to a dissapointing match I thought.

It was good and certainly worth watching again but I didn't like the slow pace of Vader's chokes or holds or whatever boring stuff he was doing. Anything Michaels did of course shone and was exciting to watch but overall nah not a ****+ for me.

A good three star match I'd say.

....

eh... you are talking about SummerSlam 1996 and not 2006 right?

Can we keep the old one for reference please? :)

Watched SummerSlam and I would rank it 3/5.

It was alright. It seemed shit on paper but the actual show was alright.

Undertakers return was weird. No make-up looked a bit strange but I understood it.

Daniel Bryan annoyed me. Loads. Felt sorry for Slater & Young & Bret did surprisingly better than I thought he could ever do.

Alex Shelley Vs Chris Hero

Pro Wrestling Guerilla: As The Worm Turns


A solid match-up. A lot of neat, and cohesive chain wrestling. However, I felt the match was lacking in sweet spots. I loved the finish. A vicous fucking elbow, followed by the Hero's Welcome. A good watch.

El Generico Vs Kevin Steen

Ring of Honor: Death Before Dishonor VIII


I haven't seen a lot of Ring of Honor, but I have seen a few DVDs. With that being said, I enjoyed this match as well. They advertised this match as a grudge match, 6 months in the making. I was a little disappointed that it was as vicious as I would have like to to be. I didn't feel the intenstiy from Generico; wanting to get revenge. And there were no weapons, or blood, which didn't help the match. But there was definitely a lot of good things. Some cool spots by both guys. Steen can move around pretty well for a big guy, and El Generico's big boot and Springboard DDT over the ring is pretty fucking sweet. However, it was kind've a bummer to see Steen win, and it looks like this feud is semi-over. Hopefully they have a return match, and end this feud correctly.

^ Chris Jericho is a main-event jobber. Not as much as Foley though. ;)

*** 3/4 for Michaels/Vader. Terrific match but with its share of flaws that doesn't allow it to hit the 4-star mark. Preferred Michaels/Owen from IYH 6 from the same year over this one, but at the same level.

So, apparently Cena's new DVD is going to be released on Blu-Ray. Will definitely be picking it up now. WWE's really stepped it up with Blu-Ray this year. We've had Royal Rumble and WrestleMania XXVI, with RAW/SmackDown from the week leading to both events released, along with Best of 2009-2010 PPV Matches. And supposedly, we're gonna get SummerSlam, Hell In A Cell, Cena's new DVD and Best of SmackDown 2010 later this year.

Rey Mysterio vs Kane (Summerslam 2010) - ***

This was actually a pretty good match. It got a lot of time and they did the story well. Rey played the speed game and Kane played the power game. This was probably the best match that they have had together. Everything was good about this match. The match was good, the ending was good and the aftermath was perfect.

Sheamus vs Randy Orton (Summerslam 2010) - ***1/4

This was way better than their Royal Rumble match. The pace was good and they had the crowd in the match the whole time. The near falls were good and Orton's comeback was good as well. The crowd just ate it up. I did not really like the ending though. A DQ is fine by me but it should have been done better. Maybe if Sheamus had hit the ref with the chair or Orton than that would have been better in my opinion. The RKO on the announce table was pretty sweet aswell.

Team WWE vs Nexus (Summerslam 2010) - ***1/2

I enjoyed the match a lot. I wanted to put it at ***3/4 but Cena's total no selling during the last few minutes just killed it for me. Nexus looked pretty strong for a bunch of rookies and it was great to see Danielson back in the WWE. Everything he did looked great. the eliminations were good and I liked how they played on the fact that team WWE was not on the same page with a few of its members. Also, Cole on the commentary was great. I just wanted Danielson to come back down and kick his ass again.​

I have Mysterio vs. Kane at **3/4. It was a better match than I thought, but the casket should have been used more often and Kane usually bores me in the ring. Mysterio was not at his apex either. It was a very average match between two wrestlers who needed to put on a better match.

I have Orton vs. Sheamus at ***3/4, which I admit is probably high, but the match was quite enjoyable, especially the last five minutes. Sheamus is improving in the ring. The finish was complete garbage. They have had two PPV matches, both ended in DQ. It is pointless, and it destroys the point of a PPV. I am enjoying Orton going nuts on Sheamus.

The main event earns a **** from me. Cena might have not sold as well as you would have liked, but he was kept out of the match for the most part, so he should not have been selling too much. Danielson was great and the booking was very well done in this match. This did not save the PPV, but it was enough to make it somewhat good.
