WWE Summerslam 06, greatest card ever…On Paper?
WWE Summerslam is live this Sunday and I will watching it from BW3 on 28th st. Summerslam has always had great cards and great moments like the Shawn Michaels comeback in 2002, or Sid Justice posing with Hogan in 91 and my all-time favorite moment, when Hogan/Savage took on Dibiasie/Andre in a tag match…
If you know me you know that my favorite Pay-Per-View of all time is Summerslam 91. It had a great card:
Bulldog/Steamboat/Von Erich vs. Warlord/Roma/Hercules
Bret Hart vs. Mr. Perfect (my favorite title match of all time)
Bushwhackers vs. Natural Disasters
Virgil vs. Million Dollar Man
Legion of Doom vs. Nasty Boys
Big Boss Man vs. The Mountie
Greg Valentine vs. I.R.S.
Hulk Hogan/Ultimate Warrior vs. Sgt. Slaughter/Adnan/Mustafa
Plus the wedding that everyone can forget
What made this card so great was the wrestling and the tension that surrounded the main event. The commentating by Heenan, Monsoon and Piper made even more entertaining…Fast foward 15 years and here we have Summerslam coming this sunday and here is the official and final card and my final thoughts
WWE Champion Edge vs. John Cena
We have seen this match up time and time again but I think because of the stipulation with Edge in effect, I think this match will be very supsenful
World Heavyweight Champion King Booker vs. Batista
Batista never lost the title. I think Batista will shine this Sunday and King Booker will be sent packing
D-Generation X vs. The McMahons
If I heard correctly, it sounds like vintage HBK and HHH will be there Sunday and will prove why they are the most dominant force ever in the WWE, collectively and individually
Hulk Hogan vs. Randy Orton
This will be Hogan’s gutsiest match yet…He has nothing left to prove at his age…His torn miniscus better hold up or the fans will be disappointed. I believe Hulkamania will win and live forever but I believe it will be the last time he wrestles a match
Mick Foley vs. Ric Flair (“I Quit” Match)
I say this match will still the show. Blood, guts and tears in this one. Its hard to pick a winner but it will be Flair because Foley will be rendered unconscious
Rey Mysterio vs. Chavo Guerrero
Eddie, Eddie, Eddie…Thats what we will be hearin the whole entire match…It’s pretty much a tribute match but unfortunately theres a heel in a crappy storyline. I believe this match will rank up there as one of the best Summerslam matches of all time. I am rooting Chavito
ECW World Champion Big Show vs. Sabu
The Largest athlete in the world vs. the most dangerous man in the world. Whats not there to like…Well if it isn’t an extreme rules match then it will be boring…If it is an extreme rules match, watch out because all hell is going to break loose…Sabu will kill the giant and become the champ again
Well those are my thoughts. I’d love to get your feedback and by all means tell me what you favorite card of all time is…Be interesting to know. Peace and hope to see you all sunday at BW3 on 28th st.
