Honestly the build to Summerslam is actually been pretty decent.

Sandow vs Clay = Sandow please beat him up
Primo & Epico vs PTP vs Kofi-Truth = actually interesting
Rey Mysterio vs Miz for IC Belt = predictable
Ryback vs Jinder (pretty sure this match will get on there somehow) = nice midcard fued
Still wondering what they will do with Orton. Random match is my guess.

I'm thinking this to but there are no signs pointing that way right now. He might miss the card which would be a waste.

only 1 week left and there are no signs of this happening unless next Friday (8-17-2012); Booker T throws Randy in it just for the hell of it.

God, please do that. Rey can take the IC title from Miz and Sandow can take it from him and get a big rub. That'd be even better than Christian holding the title the whole way through and dropping it to him, which is what I originally wanted.
DO IT.
...yeah, they won't do it. And don't have Brodus beat Sandow, Brodus is going nowhere, Sandow is, so don't have another Brodus vs Ziggler/Miz situation just for the sake of him being able to fucking dance at the end of it.
And who didn't see the 3 way tag coming? That's been obvious for weeks.

It's been a nice build up. 3 hour raw might mean more recaps but sandow/clay is getting good buildup and so is the tag division. All the midcard is benefiting. I just hope that put a jobber match on the precard. I hate the past formulas where they announce 3 matches for the PPV, put one of them on the preshow, then make a bunch of stupid filler matches an hour before.
Also, they need to stop leading off with title matches. The last two matches should be WHC then WWE, but they always lead off with the WHC match.

I think Mysterio will win. He is just back from injury and the main event is full so they will want to give him something to do as he is a name. The Miz winning was just a thank-you for the movie. He is still getting pedigreed off camera and losing clean.
As for Sandow. All things point to him winning. His debut was good, he gets great heat(well actually, Vince doesnt give a fuck about reaction), DX Segment interruption and the beatdowns. They just all point to them having confidence in the guy. I STILL would not put it past them to pull a lolbroduswinsletsdance scenario, but I do not think it will happen.

Just like I called, Christian will go from SummerSlam co main event to off the card or dark match in 1 years time.
Very disappointed they abandoned Christian/Miz in favor of Miz/Mysterio,
It's clear Orton isn't getting thrown into the WHC match. Orton has nothing going on, Christian has nothing going on. Just book them together in a a match like how in soccer you have friendlies. Give them 10 minutes and they will have MOTN just like they did for 4 months straight on every show they were booked (expect MITB)

Ryback will never be on the pre-shows, and a future star like Jinder doesn't deserve to be. PPV all the way with those guys.
Santino/Cesaro is a good call for the pre-show though.

Well, first, let me say this. Vince does care about reaction, just not in the same way fans do. If Vince likes you, he'll push you whether the audience gives a fuck about you or not. That's the underlying thing, Vince's own mandate on a talent. If he doesn't like you, and you get over, he'll milk you for all you're worth, and then bury you, just to stick it to you because you got over without his help, but if he does like you, and you do get over, he'll use that reaction to push you even harder. In fact, I guarantee that if Del Rio were over, he'd be getting pushed even harder because Vince would love the fact that he got over through his own mandate.
As far as Sandow vs Brodus, ultimately, Sandow is going farther. Hell, Sandow has already gone farther than Brodus, really, so no matter who wins, Sandow will benefit in the long term. Which is exactly the same as what happened to Ziggler and Miz, they got beat by Clay and it didn't matter because Clay can't go anywhere because his gimmick won't allow him to and they can go anywhere on the card. My main concern is that Sandow is getting all the offense. If week after week, one guy continually one ups the other, he usually loses, unless maybe a special circumstance. Now, I guess you can argue it won't apply because WWE just doesn't care about Brodus and they'll completely sacrifice his credibility to get Sandow a bigger rub, and I could see it, but it's a little worrying.
As far as Rey vs Miz, I don't know who wins, but I really want Rey to win because I desperately want a face holding that Intercontinental Championship so that Sandow can go after them.

Sandow is going to beat the funk out of Clay. I'll say it in advance, thank you Mr. Sandow, we're welcome.
I'd rather have had Rey vs. Cody, they have alot more chemistry than Rey and Miz. Why the hell did they take the IC Title off Cody anyway? both him and the belt have gone to shit since they parted.

On the money there. The fact is I think they are trying to make him more and more just a comedy character like Santino who mainly appears in backstage skits. It would be a good rub for Sandow to get. But still, there is always a worry that they will pick to poorer option. Not to say it will ruin Sandow, he is still going to be big. But it will just be an annoying dent.
Adding to this, Rey is incredibly credible for Sandow to beat in his first title feud.
Unfortunately he is in the "Creative-has-nothing-for-you-go-to-superstars isle. It is a mix of things really. First he lost cleanly to Big Show at Mania. Momementum vanished. From there Tensai flopped and Big Show was Vince's plan B. So Cody quickly grabbed the title back in terrible manner and Big Show shot towards Cena.Then he was originally flagged to take "Time Off", in other words he was preparing for a failed wellness test, which he subsequently passed after producing a prescription. From here WWE realised Cody was fucked after Show, and could not fix their mistake. A returning Christian was given the title, and now Cody is lost with nothing to do.

He should have never lost the Title in the first place, he should have gotten DQ'd or counted out at Wrestlemania, with Big Show either knocking him out or chokeslamming him through the announce table after the match to get his "Wrestlemania moment" it was just so unnecessary to take the belt of him if they had no main event push planned for him. As a result of them just having to give Big Show a meaningless Title reign, now over a years worth of momentum for Cody is gone and he may not get it back for years, if ever, I mean hell, look at Swagger and McIntyre, although clearly Cody is infinitely times more talented than those two.

Exactly my thoughts. I was pretty angry. Honestly I wanted a double count out. Diaster Kick and WMD as Show fell for the 10 count. That would have been great to show off the Diaster Kick. I honestly expected him to get something like that at Mania. The fact they had no extra push is the ultra retarded part. Plus, have they not learned that Big Show and mid-carders do not work well for momentum?
My hopes is that after SummerSlam, he can come back into prominence. But who knows. Age is on his side thankfully. The fact he has done a lot since debut keeps my hopes there, hopefully WWE have the faith in him I think they do.
