Official Summer Slam 2007 Thread

[chesswiz77]

Here's my prediction as to what SS could shape up to look like:

From Raw:

WWE Championship Match: Bobby Lashley(c) vs. Randy Orton w/Cody Rhodes (I see Lashley winning at The G.A.B. ppv with help from the Game...HHH, and I can see WWE having Cody turn on Dusty at the same ppv. This leads Orton to create a stable made out of 2nd and 3rd generation wrestlers)

HHH vs. John Cena (Having been cost the Championship, Cena looks for revenge)

Father vs. Son Match: Dusty Rhodes vs. Cody Rhodes (This match takes place b/c of Cody turning on his father)

2 on 1 Handicap Match: Umaga vs. Santino Marella/Steve-O (This is the Jack@ss angle)

From Smackdown:

Wargames: Edge/Great Khali/MVP/Deuce/Domino w/ Cherry vs. Kane/Batista/Ric Flair/Rey Mysterio/Matt Hardy (Match takes place to celebrate 20th anniversary of 1st one)

Crusierweight Title: Chavo Guerrero(c) vs. Jimmy Wang Yang (just b/c you know they're going to have a filler match)

From ECW:

ECW Title Extreme I Quit Match(rules from old ECW, in order to win match you must make your opponent say I quit. If he passes out the refs must revive him on the spot): Johnny Nitro(c) vs. CM Punk (Nitro will retain at the G.A.B. by ref stoppage, which will set this match up)

 

[knights11281984]

well i havent posted in a while but here is my ss predictions, i am leaving out the jackass angle just because of its pure stupidity.

for raw
wwe title: John Cena versus Randy Orton with Cody Rhodes-Orton wins the title setting up a feud with HHH later down the line. In a previous post it mentions Cody turning on Dusty which I believe will happen and Rhodes will help Orton win the title.

IC title: Jeff Hardy versus Umaga in a ladder match-Umaga will destroy Hardy at GAB but Hardy will somehow end up getting a rematch at Sumerslam and it willbe a ladder match, Hardy wins the belt

Cody Rhodes versus Dusty Rhodes-reasoning being Cody turning on Dusty the match might either be a Bullrope match or an I quit match not really sure, Cody will win the match and set up a feud with Jeff Hardy for the IC title.

King Booker versus Jerry "the King" Lawyer-loser must give up king title-After the events on RAW I could see this match happening and the result being HHH returns to help Lawyer win the match setting up a HHH Booker feud because HHH wont challenge Orton for the title until Wrestlemania.

Smackdown

World Heavyweight title:Edge Versus Kane-rumor has it this feud could go on for a while, rumor being on links on this site. At GAB Kane will win via count-out which really doesn't help establish Edge's title reign or Edge as a quality champion. Edge will win this match.

United States title: MVP versus Matt Hardy (#1 contender for world heavyweight title match)-At GAB MVP wins the match holding the tights Teddy Long orders a rematch to take place at Summerslam this is where Rey will return helping Matt Hardy win and starting a feud with MVP. Matt Hardy will go on to face Edge and that will be the feud that rounds out the year for Smackdown.

Khali versus Batista (HIAC) nothing was settled at GAB this match takes place fans yawn. I dont even want to venture a predcition on who wins.

ECW Title

I agree with an earlier post in that this a 4 way natch for the title with Burke vs Cor Von vs CM Punk vs Nitro-extreme rules for the match with Nitro eor Burke winning either way goes on to face Cor Von down the road.

 

[Tariq]

I think there will be hhh vs john cena as a grudge match because i think hhh will screw cena out of the tittle. We will also see lashley vs orton for the wwe title. for the world title i see rey vs batista vs mark henry.

 

[Cena Sucks]

Raw:

Jeff Hardy vs Umaga vs Snitsky Triple threat for the Ic Title, it would be a good match, umaga would probably dominate most of it, but i think Jeff Hardy would swanton Umaga while snitsky is out, and win the title and match.

Winner and New IC Champion: Jeff Hardy
_______________________________________________________________

Cade & Murdoch vs Brian Kendrick and Paul London (World Tag Titles)

I would see this as a okay match, probably just a card filler, i would see murdoch and cade dominating most of the match, and not turning back.

Winner(s) and Still Tag Champs: Cade and Murdoch

_________________________________________________________________

King Booker w/ Sharmell vs Sandman ( Street Fight)

Sandman will dominate this match, mostly using weapons, cutting booker open, but sharmell will attack sandman and beat him with a chair, booker will then toss sandman in the ring, going to pin him. 1-2....sandman kicks out, so booker gets him up going for the book end, and sandman does a blow to the face with some brass knuckles. He'll pin booker and Win the match.

Winner: Sandman
________________________________________________________________

Melina vs Candice vs Mickie James vs Beth Phoenix- Womens Title.

Melina and beth will team up against mickie and candice wearing them down, then when melina thinks beth is cool, beth kicks her and pins for the win. That would set up a pretty nice fued.

Winner and New Womens Champion: Beth Phoenix

______________________________________________________________

Carlito vs Ken Kennedy

This would be a nice match, nobody dominates until carlito hits the reverse backcracker, he then knocks out the ref and brings out a chair, he hits kennedy a couple of times, then goes for the pin. 1-2-3.

Winner: Carlito

________________________________________________________________

John Cena vs Randy Orton vs Bobby Lashley- Wwe Championship

Cena enters the match as champion, but will he leave as the champ?

Orton hits the RKO on lashley and then tosses him outside the ring, then he attacks cena, hits the RKO on him, he pins. 1-2 cena kicks out. Cena goes to hit the F-U but when he turns around lashley hits the spear. Lashley goes to pin orton but orton kicks out, cena then picks up orton and hits the F-U, cena gets up and lashley and him go at it, lashley hits the dominator but cena reverses, he hits the F-U, cena then gets RKO'd by orton and orton pins cena for the 1,2,3.

Winner and New WWE Champion: Randy Orton



SMACKDOWN!:


MVP vs Matt Hardy, Ladder Match for the United States Championship.

Matt hardy would hit MVP a couple of times with the ladder, busting him open, then MVP would take over, busting hardy open, this would be a brutal match, but MVP would climb up the ladder and toss hardy off of it, MVP grabs the belt and retains.

Winner and Still US Champion: MVP

_______________________________________________________________

Kane vs Chris Masters

This would be kane's match, he would just flat out dominate, this would just be a card filler setting up a Masters vs Kane fued for a while, kane would win but at what cost?

Winner: Kane

_______________________________________________________________

Rey Mysterio vs Kenny Dykstra, #1 Contender for World Title + Rey's Return to PPV.

Rey would hit the 619 two times, but dykstra would stay in it, dykstra would then hit a flying DDT from the top rope, he pins Rey but rey kicks out, rey would then get up and hit dykstra with a couple of quick kicks, then he hits the 619 and gets the win.

Winner and The World Title #1 Contender: Rey Mysterio

________________________________________________________________

Ric Flair vs Edge -No Holds Barred

This is the match of the century, ric would battle edge until they both cant stand, they would have ladders,Chairs, Stairs, Barbed Wire Tables,bats, tables everything,and they would use it all, edge would win after he tosses flair off the top rope into a barbed wire table.

Winner: Edge

_______________________________________________________________

The Great Khali vs Triple H- World Heavyweight Championship

Triple H would make his return and come over to smackdown. H would dominate khali but about halfway through the match Vince McMahon comes out and says that Batista is now in the match, so Batista would then BatistaBomb Khali and H, but H would kick out when Batista goes to pin him, Batista then gets the Khali hit thing, and H pedigrees Khali, HHH gets the win and title.

Winner and New World Heavyweight Champion: Triple H



Summerslam Main Event:

Mr. McMahon vs Teddy Long- Win or Your Fired!!!! Match

Well, with Teddy Long marrying Kristal this will most likely be a reasonable match. Long would lose after Shane McMahon interfers and hits him with a chair, Teddy long looses and gets Fired!!!

Winner: Vince and Shane 'O' Mac.

 

[Mexican Geek]

Raw:
Jeff Hardy vs Umaga vs Snitsky Triple threat for the Ic Title, it would be a good match, umaga would probably dominate most of it, but i think Jeff Hardy would swanton Umaga while snitsky is out, and win the title and match.

Winner and New IC Champion: Jeff Hardy

Snitsky?? i dont have anything against Jeff vs Umaga, but why do you want Snitsky here??

Cade & Murdoch vs Brian Kendrick and Paul London (World Tag Titles)

I would see this as a okay match, probably just a card filler, i would see murdoch and cade dominating most of the match, and not turning back.

Winner(s) and Still Tag Champs: Cade and Murdoch

Proly happens. and proly will be the result.

King Booker w/ Sharmell vs Sandman ( Street Fight)

Sandman will dominate this match, mostly using weapons, cutting booker open, but sharmell will attack sandman and beat him with a chair, booker will then toss sandman in the ring, going to pin him. 1-2....sandman kicks out, so booker gets him up going for the book end, and sandman does a blow to the face with some brass knuckles. He'll pin booker and Win the match.

Winner: Sandman

How do you put Sandman in a PPV first? and why relegate King Booker like that?? I guess booker will be involved in a elimination chamber instead. But hey, thats your guess.

Melina vs Candice vs Mickie James vs Beth Phoenix- Womens Title.

Melina and beth will team up against mickie and candice wearing them down, then when melina thinks beth is cool, beth kicks her and pins for the win. That would set up a pretty nice fued.

Winner and New Womens Champion: Beth Phoenix

4 fatal way?? mmhhmm, not happening, i guess Candice will feud either beth or Melina.

Carlito vs Ken Kennedy

This would be a nice match, nobody dominates until carlito hits the reverse backcracker, he then knocks out the ref and brings out a chair, he hits kennedy a couple of times, then goes for the pin. 1-2-3.

Winner: Carlito

With Kennedy in matches with super crazy, i wont be surprised to see this one on summerslam.

John Cena vs Randy Orton vs Bobby Lashley- Wwe Championship

Cena enters the match as champion, but will he leave as the champ?

Orton hits the RKO on lashley and then tosses him outside the ring, then he attacks cena, hits the RKO on him, he pins. 1-2 cena kicks out.

Winner and New WWE Champion: Randy Orton

Take Orton out of the equation and thats it!!! Lashley: new WWE champ!!

SMACKDOWN!:
MVP vs Matt Hardy, Ladder Match for the United States Championship.

Matt hardy would hit MVP a couple of times with the ladder, busting him open, then MVP would take over, busting hardy open, this would be a brutal match, but MVP would climb up the ladder and toss hardy off of it, MVP grabs the belt and retains.

Winner and Still US Champion: MVP

sublime, i couldnt imagine it like that!!! thumbs up!

Kane vs Chris Masters

This would be kane's match, he would just flat out dominate, this would just be a card filler setting up a Masters vs Kane fued for a while, kane would win but at what cost?

Winner: Kane

I will make like if i dint see that last part.... Masters??? LOL!

Rey Mysterio vs Kenny Dykstra, #1 Contender for World Title + Rey's Return to PPV.

Rey would hit the 619 two times, but dykstra would stay in it, dykstra would then hit a flying DDT from the top rope, he pins Rey but rey kicks out, rey would then get up and hit dykstra with a couple of quick kicks, then he hits the 619 and gets the win.

H would dominate khali but about halfway through the match Vince McMahon comes out and says that Batista is now in the match, so Batista would then BatistaBomb Khali and H, but H would kick out when Batista goes to pin him, Batista then gets the Khali hit thing, and H pedigrees Khali, HHH gets the win and title.

Winner and New World Heavyweight Champion: Triple H

Triple h is NOT jumping to SD, it would be easier for Cena to lose the belt!!!
and this has to be the weirdest match ever....dont ask why.

Summerslam Main Event:

Mr. McMahon vs Teddy Long- Win or Your Fired!!!! Match

Well, with Teddy Long marrying Kristal this will most likely be a reasonable match. Long would lose after Shane McMahon interfers and hits him with a chair, Teddy long looses and gets Fired!!!

Winner: Vince and Shane 'O' Mac.

And this one the WORST main event in the history of the Wrestling!!! I literally spilled water over the floor when i was reading this and keep in mind that Vince is out of the TV for a while.....
And please tell me, what would have to do Teddy's "wedding" with Vince??? you realize that the wedding is fake, right?? i think i read somewhere Kristal is dating Lashley.... so, i dont think so

 

[Cena Sucks]

Snitsky?? i dont have anything against Jeff vs Umaga, but why do you want Snitsky here??



Proly happens. and proly will be the result.

-Snistky would just be a card filler for the first match, thats why he doesn't play any role in the match at all.

-The Chances of an elimanation chamber are not too big, they would probably save that til New Years Revoultion,and that would probably be a decent match.

-Why wouldn't the 4 way happen? They are all in the womens title picture and it seems like an okay type match.

-Why? Orton is in the Championship Picture, and with cena loosing the title it would set up Orton vs Lashley which in my mind would be ONE HELL Of a Fued.

-I guess it would just be a match to see if rey could endur the abiltly of Kenny, plus it would give a decent push to Kenny, i have to admit, he has some talent, i am saying that kenny will eventually be like a Carlito eventually, win a couple of titles and go on, and this match would set up a title run for him.

-Why wouldn't he jump to smackdown? He doesn't have HBK anymore and with the Lashley picture why would they take cena and orton outta it? It would set up a Batista vs HHH fued for a while and drop khali outta the picture.

- OKay, so maybe it shouldn't be a main event, but so what? It would get teddy long outta the GM Spot and possibly put Mick Foley as the SD! General Manager. Teddy is gonna lose him GM Spot eventually, hes not a big name like coach or foley, i see Coach as the Raw GM and Foley as the SD! GM

 

[Mexican Geek]

-Snistky would just be a card filler for the first match, thats why he doesn't play any role in the match at all.

Exactly, why waste time on Snitsky?? I really don't know how this guy is supposed to be feuding Cena next year, i guess that is going to be scrapped off FAST.

-The Chances of an elimanation chamber are not too big, they would probably save that til New Years Revoultion,and that would probably be a decent match.

You are probably right, its kind of early to make the chamber...

-Why wouldn't the 4 way happen? They are all in the womens title picture and it seems like an okay type match.

first, it seems that Mickie James is going to job for a while, and Melina is out of picture, she just don't entertain anymore... But Beth Phoenix does!!

-Why? Orton is in the Championship Picture, and with cena loosing the title it would set up Orton vs Lashley which in my mind would be ONE HELL Of a Fued.

Orton is NOT in the championship picture, right now.... he is working full time his "legend killer" gimmick, and the Triple h return... I don't think Randy have paid his "dues"(all because the Hotel Room Rage) yet, and The only punishment is called "You have a feud with Triple H". Besides, we already saw Lashley vs Orton for the ECW title, and personally it wasn't one of my favorites feuds.

-I guess it would just be a match to see if rey could endur the abiltly of Kenny, plus it would give a decent push to Kenny, i have to admit, he has some talent, i am saying that kenny will eventually be like a Carlito eventually, win a couple of titles and go on, and this match would set up a title run for him.

When you say: "The ability of Kenny"....... are you talking seriously??? I don't want to be unfair, cause Kenny hasn't appeared too much on TV, but that doesn't justify the lack of charisma and boringness of Kenny's wrestling.
He is not ready for a PPV match, and much less vs Rey

-Why wouldn't he jump to smackdown? He doesn't have HBK anymore and with the Lashley picture why would they take cena and orton outta it? It would set up a Batista vs HHH fued for a while and drop khali outta the picture.

number one, you have the Undertaker returning November, when this happens, somebody wont be so happy at the locker rooms; remember, if Triple H is thirsty for a WWE belt, he'll be even more for power backstage.
Second, neither CEna or Orton are going to be feuding for the title in a near future. IMO Triple h vs Lashey will be the feud for the belt on the last part oy 2007.
Third, if you put Triple H on SD, you automatically bury Batista to hell and back, and with the Lack of faces on SD, i found that kind of senseless.
And finally, Do you think Triple H will be on a brand so deteriorated like SD??

- OKay, so maybe it shouldn't be a main event, but so what? It would get teddy long outta the GM Spot and possibly put Mick Foley as the SD! General Manager. Teddy is gonna lose him GM Spot eventually, hes not a big name like coach or foley, i see Coach as the Raw GM and Foley as the SD! GM

I see Regal as RAW GM and vickie Guerrero on SD.... and Coach a big name???....Well, so i guess it would be ok to put Val venis as the RAW commisioner, and Funaki doing the same on SD. Those are big names also.

 

[chone_2007]

here are my predictions for summerslam


1. World Tag Team Championship

Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch (c) vs. Paul London & Brian Kendrick

Reasons: Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch are and have been the champions since June 4 and really the only competetors that they have to fight are Paul London & Brian Kendrick. Since the Hardy's split up and the Highlanders and Cryme Tyme arent really in the tag team gold mix 4 about a while now...and TWGTT arent really together Shelton is being in singles as is Haas (on Heat) these guys are the onle option the WWE writers have left (even though they were sent over to Raw as a punishment) but as usual they will put over Murdoch and Cade as a good team

2. Jackass Stint (what a waste of time and money)

The Jackass Crew vs. Umaga and some other heels or people i didnt mention in this post (i heard Jeff Hardy was going to be put in this match...wow look how they sank....) This match is totally gonna suck.


3. United States Championship (Stipulation Match....Ladder Match most likely)

MVP (c) vs. Matt Hardy

Reasons: At GAB MVP will retain leading Matt Hardy to get a re-shot at the title and MVP will once again retain (I hope) leading to one last match probably at Unforgiven were Matt Hardy will probably win. They're really trying to get him over as a singles competitor. But lets face it MVP is a future world champion

4. ECW World Heavyweight Championship

John Morrison (c) vs. CM Punk (Extreme Rules of some sort)

Reasons: At GAB Morrison will reatain as CM Punk is not ready to be the face of ECW as he is not ready to be their champion. Well Summerslam is one of the 4 (A) Brand PPV's......i can see CM Punk winning it on a big stage. Then I can see more better matches out of these two....i would also enjoy Cor Von and Burke thrown in there to make it a Fatal Four Way but not at Summerslam.....some where later.

5. Randy Orton vs. Cody Rhodes

Reasons: The way it looks like at GAB Randy Orton will once again kill a ledgend and it looks like it's goin to be Dusty Rhodes....well they did say they wanted to make a match between these two at summerslam.....but seeming as how they already had it on RAW this past Monday this match might be up in the air.......i really see Cody turning heel at the Bash but then again they might keep him a face til it's time to change his character.

6. World Heavyweight Championship

Batista (c) vs. The Great Khali or Kane

Reasons: WOW!!! I really really dont know what happened to SmackDown to deserve this.....first were very happy with mysterio as champ (even though he was a small one..) then Bookah wins, (not the greatest thing ever but it was okay) and then Batista well it wasnt so bad he was improving and his matches with Taker were good....n then the mother of them all Taker wins for the first time in 5 years he won a world championship and was promised a long title run....well it sucked but we all thought and knew Kennedy would cash in his MITB and steal the title...so everyone got excited til he was injured to!!!! Well all hopes were looking up when Edge came to SmackDown and won the title (What a relief) and then this...this.....this curse that it had to be resorted to giving the title to Khali after Edge was injured...i mean at least Batista as champion wouldn't have been so bad til Taker or Mysterio or Edge came back...but no the big stupid guy who is by the way very horrible in the ring n has the worst mic skills gets the title...not even Kane who has been in the company longer than Kahil and Batista put together got the title and he's only been World Champion once and it was for a day. Well getting on with this horrible horrible match...at the GAB Khali loses the title to Batista in the triple threat (that they will announce this friday on Smackdown) and Khali is fired and gets runned over by a semi truck...lmao...well that would be fun..but not gonna happen...well at summerslam im thinkin it's Batista vs. Khali or Kane.

7. WWE Championship: Elimination Chamber

John Cena (c) vs. Bobby Lashley vs. King Bookah!!! vs. Kennedy vs. Triple H (Oh yeah the return of the game!!) vs. Mic Foley (they did say he was preparing for a big match at Summerslam)...i would put Orton in if he wouldn't have his match with Cody Rhodes

Reasons: At the GAB Cena reatains by the skin on his teeth when he super FU's Lashley and pins him for the 1-2-3. On the following week of RAW (a they announce that Cena will defend his title against Lashley at Summerslam in a re-match but then like usuall Kennedy comes out first and says he deserves a shot at the WWE Championship more than Lashley does beacuse Lashley had his chance at the GAB and he failed and since he came over to the RAW brand he hasn't gotten a chance at the WWE Championship...then King Bookah!! comes out and says how Lashley stole his title shot when he beat his time in the beat the clock match and how he deserves it more than anyone of them beacuse he is the king of raw..blah....blah.....then comes out Mic Foley and says he has been hearing them blabbing about how they deserve a title shot when he's the one that really deserves it because he's worked hard over his whole carreer in the WWE and he needs it more than they do...plus that this is his retiring match beacuse he's getting old and he wants to accomplish one thing before he retires and that's win the WWE's richest prize the WWE Championship...well then Bobby Lashley says at Summerslam the title will be his whether he has to go through the champ and the other three contenders....and the Coach then announces that at Summerslam it will be a Elimination Chamber match for the WWE title....and the qualifying matches start right now....so the next week on RAW it's Shelton Benjamin vs. someone they havent named and when everyone is waiting for the music to play out comes The GAME TRIPLE H!! to his music and he cuts a pomo on how he's back and ready to go and how he's gonna be a 11 time world champion so he then beats shelton and qualifys.....now wouldnt that be cool? lol =)

-Well if the Elimination Chember wouldn't happen it would just be John Cena vs. Lashley for the WWE Championship and Triple H vs. King Bookah and they would probably stick poor Kennedy in the Jackass Match and idk about Foley


-I might Order if the matches turn out to be good should be decent if Khali isnt on the card

 

[Satan's Hockey]

The Jackass shit got canceled and I have to say that I am so excited about it. They were going to do nothing but make Umaga look like a joke in the ring, and do nothing but disrespect wrestling.

 

[theprogram4]

I'm excited that Randy Orton got picked to go against Cena for the title at SummerSlam. But I think Cena will win and then start a fued with HHH.

 

[Draman27]

Im hoping Orton gets the belt. The guy plays the heel character so well, its unbelievable. And then HHH will rescue everyone and take the belt from Orton

 

[Da Vinci's Nightmare]

At last were gona see the belt of Cena, cos as stated before on WZ, HHH wants to fued with orton for the title, an thinks there will be more money made from cena chasing the title that actaully owning it.

But then again, with the WWE now-a-days and plans changing like anything. I wouldnt be surprised if the title stayed with Cena

 

[hardmick33]

I don't post much here so let me enlighten you guys as to where I stand. I have been watching wrestling for about 20 years. I have seen the good, the bad, and I have DEFINITELY seen the ugly. I'm what some might call a "Smark" but I'm also a mark. I love pure wresting, Shelton Benjamin is my favorite current wrester. However I very much enjoy the entertainment side of wrestling.

What I'm going for is that everything that is happening in wrestling right now makes me happy. I love Cena. I think he puts on an entertaining match and gives killer promos. If someone can tell me how what he's doing is different to what Stone Cold and Hogan did before him I'd love to hear it. The two of them happen to be two of the top three wresters (minus taker) of all time to me. They can't and never could "wrestle" but they can all put on a show and that's what I tune in for every week. I very much enjoy the wrestlers. As I have said, Benjamin is someone I always appreciate as well as both Hardys, Londrick, Michaels and pretty much everyone worth while in TNA.

What I'm trying to get at is, as a fan, I understand the roles of wrestlers. Whether it be the big dumb 7 foot monster, a muscle bound no mic skill "animal" and yes, even an underdog champion that ALWAYS overcomes the odds.

So... Summerslam. I'm sure EVERYONE on the site will continue on and on about how happy they are that Orton is finally going to get his shot at Cena and from what I see, he'll probably win. But I ask you all to please look back a few years and remember how pissed you all were when HHH was the "unstoppable champion" and when no one could beat him. What I want to know from you guys is why you still watch. I love both of these guys and I can't wait to see what storylines come my way through it all not to mention when HBk comes back. Also, how awesome will Smackdown be when the Great Khali has to face the Phenom. I like that. I know that I love wrestling, but sometimes the guys who put on 5 star matches aren't the ones who keep butts in the seats.

Oh... and please in 4 months when everyone hates how often HHH is champ... forgive me for copying and pasting this thread. Peace.

 

[Cracker5000]

Since Cena is leaving to do his movie soon Orton should win and "injure" Cena with his concussion kick. This will make him the ultimate heel as all little kids will hate him forever. It's like shooting Superman with Kryptonite.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

I'm ok with the Orton/Cena main event. It's almost 3 years in the making. When people didn't hate Cena that was a ''Dream Match''. Not in my eyes but there were a lot of people who wanted to see it. They even hinted to it at Summer Slam. Now it's not that important a match , but it's new-ish. Personally I hope Cena retains. I dont think assholes should be rewarded.

 

[A.J.]

Now i think this match deserves its own thread in the PPV forum as this match will generate a lot of discussion. This has been a match that was teased at Summerslam 2004 when Orton was being interviewed and Cena interupted. Since then these two men have gone in different drirections but now after all these years you have the frist real one on one PPV match between Orton and Cena and its for the WWE Championship.

I for one have to admit I'm actually excited for this match as its been one that has been in the making for awhile and its new feud. As long as Cena's been on RAW he hasnt had a program with Orton. I do fell when the night is over Orton will be champ.

 

[LadyFranchise]

I'm excited for this match because one, I'm a huge orton fan and two, it's going to be the best fued Cena has had yet. Like A.J said, everyone wanted to see these two go at it ever since John Cena interrupted Randy during an interview at SS 04. Also unlike all the other fueds lately, this one is going to be good because it summerslam is Aug.26th so it's going to have plenty of time to bulid up.

 

[daz2j]

please tell me this is not another dream. pinch meself, ow. no its not a dream, my dream match is FINALLY about to happen and i cannot wait. i know they have faught on the eddie tribute show but that was just a match. this is a feud and has at least 5 weeks to build up. iv wanted this match since they were both new to smackdown orton in his blue and yellow trunks and cena in his short trunks. i can honestley say i dont care bout the rest of the card ill buy it just for this match. and for some reason i see it being an instant classic with loads of back and forth action. i cudnt pick who wins as there my top 2 wrestlers but hopefully the fans will win by seeing this match

I am very excited for the randy orton and cena match, i have wanted to see this for a long time, I am actually glad now that they waited because now orton will have the chance to win since cena may be taken a little time off or working at least less or possibly no house shows if he is shooting another movie. Plus I want to see a triple h/ randy orton fued for the title so that's another reason I want to see orton win. I think some other matches at SummerSlam will be- Booker vs Triple H- the loser must get rid of the title king stipulation-this way they will turn him back into Booker T and it would be a good comeback with a higher up heel for triple h./ I think that if they are smart they will end the carlito and lashley thing very quick and have a match with Lashley and Kennedy at SS. i think a lot of people would want to see this match. It would help push kennedy back towards to the top matches and keep lashley in the top tier matches as well. I think that from what I have heard on this site they are going to have umaga vs. jeff hardy again which would be a great match. I have a feeling tha they will that they will also have matt hardy fight mvp again for the us title-maybe the hardy's both win singles gold on the same night. since rey misterio wants to fued with chavo when he first comes back they will probably have them fight eachother, and for the world heavyweight title since there is no one really left I would say that they may do the triple threat match again, they could make it a four way adding mark Henry. Or the could finally have Batista vs. Henry again and then let Kane fight Khali but since they usually seem to give kane the shaft probably not. So here are my predictions of what I think they might do mixed with what I would like them to do based on the reasons I just gave.

Orton vs Cena

Triple H vs King Booker- loser must lose the title of King (if they don't do this with jerry first)

Lashley vs Kennedy (keeping them both in the lime light)

Umaga vs J. Hardy

MVP vs M Hardy

(both Hardy's get singles gold)

Rey Mysterio vs Chavo

Fatal four way- Khali, Batista, Kane, and Mark Henry

No matter what happens or how many others I have right I hope that Orton is the champ when I go watch Raw on Sept. 2nd

Summerslam could be great if they play their cards right. I personally dont like Carlito vs Lashley because I dont think Carlito is ready to be put in the same place as Lashley...YET. On the Smackdown side I wish they would take the belt from Khali, give it to Kane because all of Khalis matches are the same thing and it generates no excitement from anybody. Have Rey Mysterio come back and get back in the title hunt...first get revenge on Chavo, and then hunt down Kane for the World Title. So if that was the case, this would be MY card for Summerslam

Cena vs Orton for the WWE title

Kane vs Rey Mysterio for the World Title

Umaga vs Jeff Hardy for the IC Title (Ladder Match) and end the fued once and for all

MVP vs Matt Hardy for the US Title

John Morrison vs CM Punk for the ECW title (TLC Match)

Cade/Murdoch vs London/Kendrick for the Tag Team Titles

HHH vs King Booker

Bobby Lashley vs Mr. Kennedy

Batista vs Mark Henry

NOW, imagine if HBK and Edge and Taker werent down with injuries...this could have been a HUGE and I mean HUGE few weeks for WWE to give to its fans...

as much as i like the ladder match, i really dont think Umaga is physically able to even climb a latter. i love the TLC match for the ECW title. Its about time ECW was actually extreme like the old days. The past two PPV have had no weapons in the ECW title match...not cool.

 

[Jerry]

Hahaha...I dunno...i would love to see Umaga in a ladder match personally...I know alot of people put him down but I think he could be a great IC Champ and he is very agile for his size...it would definitely make their feud a little bit more intriuging

haha i would love to see it too, but i dont know if it is physically possible with a guy that big climbing an unsturdy latter.

it would be really entertaining..."the bigger they are the harder they fall"


imagine edge spearing umaga off the top of the ladder like he did to i think matt hardy in TLC match.

It was Jeff Hardy, and it was SICK!!!!

well, with the now confirmed match INVOLVING Cena and Orton, things changed again regarding the belts.

I was hoping for a HHH vs Cena for the belt starting at GAB, but neither Rey or The Game returned.

About HHH vs Booker, i dont know, i see booker stucked with Jerry Lawler until Summerslam, leaving triple H dancing alone....

Bobby Lashley vs Carlito, are you kidding me?? I mean, Carlito is a good talent, but no near to the main event status of Lashley, c'mon, he was jobbing the Sandman for Christ Sake!! (with all due respect). I rather see Carlito vs Sandman again than Lashley vs Carlito. that wont be cool....and if it happens(Carlito vs Sandman), this leaves Lashley dancing alone....

jeff Hardy vs Umaga: well, sounds good, as both are great performers, and if it happens, expect some special stipulation for this one, maybe a no holds barred, so we could see some extreme, sick shit from Hardy, i dont know, maybe a Swanton from the roof of the Continental arena??? This match could be great, and also leaves Mr. Kennedy without a opponent, so...

Yep, here we are, as The Great Shoc-Khali-master said , i think this could be the perfect opportunity for a elimination chamber, maybe next week they could do some qualifier matches or something...

it seems that this year summerslam could be great, at least we are going to see some big names returning to the main scene(Triple H, Mysterio, Booker T) and specially, this could be the end of Cena's reign, but you never know, maybe he invents a new move called the S.O.B.A.(Simply an Obnoxious Boring Ass-move) or a modified S.T.F.C. (Spinning The Fake Championship) and kills everyone, to retain. anyway, i might bet some E-cash to Cena at the bookie thread. What?? it's E-Z money, Ya Know!!!

Ps, I would love to see Flair vs Khali for the belt, Khali would retain of course, but at least Flair could zapp those ugly moles off of Khali's chest, WOOOOOO!

Orton/Cena: I think we all know about the whole "Cena dropping it to Orton and Orton vs HHH being the next big feud" concept.

HHH/Booker: That being said above, HHH will win this. Puts him back into the spotlight. If he returns and they have him lose to Booker, it'll kind of tarnish his comeback.

Jeff Hardy/Umaga: I can definitely see Jeff winning this. He has a large number of people to feud against if he's the IC Champ...Carlito, Kennedy, Umaga, Shelton Benjamin...maybe Snitsky. King of the midcard, basically, with even a few matches against the undercard (Daivari for example).

As far as MVP/Matt Hardy goes, I don't know. Smackdown is lacking in challengers for both. Finlay, Chris Masters...uh....I can't think of anyone else really offhand that is in that midcard status. I wouldn't really picture any budding feuds between Matt Hardy and say, Eugene, you know?

Personally, I don't see why there are two tag belts when there are only five tag teams between Raw and Smackdown. I think they should just have a Survivor Series type of elimination match between Cade & Murdoch, Deuce & Domino, Kendrick & London, Major Bros, Highlanders, World's Greatest Tag Team, and Jesse & Festus. Six tag teams, only one emerges with a belt. The chances of this are extremely slim though, naturally.

Cruiserweight: It all depends on when they're gonna have Hornswaggle drop the belt and who he'll drop it to. I assume Chavo or Jimmy Wang Yang (but it'd be hilarious if they said screw the 250lb limit and had Mark Henry win it haha). Personally, I'm not a fan of how the cruiserweight title's status is. I'd be happier if they just moved these guys into US Champ potential and brought back one of the more interesting titles like the Hardcore championship or TV or something. ECW's title doesn't really count as the hardcore championship since they don't even do no-DQ matches most of the time.

Speaking of the ECW title, Punk/Morrison...meh...I've really lost my interest in this after GAB. It would make much more sense for Punk to have it because he has more threats (Viscera, Striker, Morrison, Thorn, Burke, Cor Von) while Morrison only has Punk, Dreamer, and Boogeyman. As far as I'm concerned, Balls Mahoney, Nunzio, The Miz, and Stevie Richards are there for squashes and aren't going anywhere anytime soon. So if there's a Punk/Morrison match, I'd bank on Punk winning the belt.

World Heavyweight Championship? Hm. Are they going Khali/Mysterio, or is he going for Cruiserweight? What's tricky here is that Smackdown's clearly lacking in the higher ranked talent. MVP, Khali, and Mark Henry are their top 3 heels right now, and the problem with 2/3 of your heels being giant guys is that someone like Mysterio is too small for a well balanced match with them. If they give the WHC to Mysterio, I'd expect Matt Hardy to be the new US Champ and MVP to move up to become a challenger for the WHC, since he's a well rounded heel that gets over rather well. Hardy could have feuds with Masters and whatnot, so they'd need MVP to step up.

Its a little too early to tell, but I'd assume so far that we'll see some title changes, at least the WWE and IC, if not the US and one of the Tag Team titles as well.
