WWE: Summerslam and The Return of the Deadman Tour.

[PWNED]

YO, It's Daermon again with the latest WWE PPV: Summerslam as well as exclusive info on the return of the deadman tour down under.

It's should be a decent enough with two matches that could very well be some of the better matches of summerslam history.

Raw's summerslam matches
None so far

The Undertaker vs JBL for the WWE Championship.


And now the WWE Return of the deadman tour. All tickets are sold out so too bad slow australians ( I'm one of them).


In SYDNEY - August the 27th
In Brisbane- August the 28th

I also have no idea what matches there are going to be there but it could be good.

Rumors going around about the Summerslam main events on the Raw side of things. According to this, Eugene will face Triple H and Chris Benoit will face Randy Orton, which means that Benoit will be winning the Iron Man Match on Monday (if this is true, anyway). Also according to this, the WWE is heavily considering putting the World Title on Randy Orton.

Personally, I don't think Orton is quite ready for the World Title [i]yet[/i], but I'd much rather see him with the title than yet another Triple H title reign. Don't get me wrong, Hunter's been [i]way[/i] more entertaining this year than he was in 2003, but he's held the World Title enough times for now. I'd much rather the title scene stay somewhat fresh.

Anyway, all of the matches sound good, except for JBL/Undertaker, which will be terrible. I'm actually rooting for JBL to win, because as horrible as he is, I'd rather see him as champ than The Undertaker at this point. Kurt Angle/Eddy Guerrero is going to rule, though I wish [i]that[/i] were the true title match taking place at Summerslam.

Triple H/Eugene should be good enough as long as the WWE actually lets Dinsmore wrestle; I've seen flashes of brilliance from him during his matches, and I'm curious to see how good a full match wrestled by him could truly be. And I know that Chris Benoit is capable of wrestling a great match with Randy Orton, so I have no worries there.

[THE EVIL EYE]

Hello everyone, I have found out a few matcehs for Summerslam that haven't been stated.

Y2J vs Batista vs Edge for the Intercontinetal title

Kane vs Matt Hardy in the first ever Till Death do us part match.

Now to my predictions

Raw results

Triple H vs Eugene- I don't see much hope in Eugenes life.

Orton vs Benoit- We all know that Orton will win because of the writers wanting the young superstars t owin major titles.

Kane vs Matt Hardy- We all know that Matt will wi nand marry Lita.

The triple Threat match- I expect that Y2J or Batista will win because of Y2J's fan reception as well as Batista being a young superstar.

Guerrero vs Angle- They will let Angle win this cause of it being Angles first PPV back.

Taker vs JBL- I just hate JBL so i'm going with Taker.

At last he has reached the top. Randy Orton is the new champ. AT last the booking has done something right. I cant wait for ortons run as a baby face know that he has left evolution. Skies the limit for him.

Overall summerslam was a great ppv and one of the best in a long time. The only match which i found point less was the death till us part match. I hate this story line. I feel for matt hardy.

Eddie and angle put on a good match and i also i was glad to see JBL get chokeslam. I hope jbl loses that title. After what he pulled in germany and then vince rewards the little trewp with a title run.

Ah well at least some things are looking good

[Shinmaru]

The reaction to Summerslam has been pretty mixed from what I've seen. Most people, though, seem to be a bit disappointed with the show, especially since a lot of matches seemed to be rushed. Eddy/Kurt, Cena/Booker and Hardy/Kane were three matches in particular that people seemed to be disappointed with, though the consensus seems to be that Eddy/Kurt was still good.

Orton's championship run is inspiring a lot of heated debate from what I've seen. Personally, I think that a nice two to three month feud with Chris Benoit would have worked wonders for Orton. I think that having Orton win the belt at Survivor Series would have been a better choice, though I'm of the opinion that Orton will have at least a successful title run. But if the WWE is planning on having Orton face Triple H at Wrestlemania XXI for the title, and Triple H is seemingly feuding with Orton [i]right now[/i], it makes me wonder how the creative team is going to keep that fresh until that time.

I'm optimistic, though. I hope they can pull it off.

[color=darkblue][font=trebuchet ms]My take on Summerslam (originally posted on the RajahWWF.com Fan Forums):

SummerSlam was gr... wait, what the hell was wrong with that crowd? Aside from the Angle/Guerrero and Orton/Benoit match, I had a hard time paying attention to the matches.


[b]Six Man Tag[/b] - I'm happy to say that I liked a match involving the Dudleyz that didn't suck, and that isn't a TLC. On the other hand, my liking the match was 99% thanks to the trifecta of Rey Mysterio, Billy Kidman and Paul London. They did a magnificent job with keeping the match fast paced, which is a hard thing to do against guys like Buh-Buh and D-Von. This is yet another example of why the WWE should incorporate more cruiserweight matches on SmackDown! tapings. Too bad that "the bad guys" won, but it's of little concern when the match was that fun to watch.


[b]Matt Hardy vs. Kane[/b] - It was a thankfully quick match, with some nice spots here and there. The top-of-the-rope Chokeslam was a nice way to end the match, but I'm disappointed that neither Lita turned heel nor HBK interfered.


[b]Booker T. vs. John Cena[/b] - Nothing special about this match, really. I liked Cena at one point, but night after night I wonder what all the fuss was about. His promos aren't funny, although that's more of the writers' fault. His wrestling is... um... like The Rock, but without the fun-to-watch overreaction and, dare I say it, [I]electricity[/I]. Booker was solid, but he can put better matches against better wrestlers. I really could care less where this feud is headed.


[b]Edge vs. Y2J vs. Batista[/b] - Here's where we start noticing the crowd's dopey reactions. Hometown hero Edge gets booed, even though it was Y2J that showed the more heel approach towards SummerSlam. On occasion the fans turned towards Edge, but then started going after him even worse. They made no sense. As for the match, I liked it whenever Batista was out of the picture. I found myself rooting for Jericho. Either the fans got to me, or there was something more than lettuce and mayo in my chicken sandwich.


[b]Guerrero vs. Angle[/b] - The match of the night, [i]again[/i]. I was surprised that Eddie tried to cheat his way out of a loss, considering the WWE implied they'd both be looking to win the match fairly. Never mind Luther's kick early on... it happens so often, it has virtually no effect on the outcome of the match. I'm glad Angle won cleanly, although I expected him to cheat for irony sakes. Either way, excellent match. I didn't like Angle's performance on his return match, but his work tonight showed he's back in business.


[b]Triple H vs. Eugene[/b] - Watch out! The crowd takes another hit! They start chanting Eugene, then boo him... then chant him again, the boo him some more... it was crazy! I could only think of how ridiculous Nick Dinsmore (Eugene) must've felt playing his character that was supposed to incite cheers and support against a crowd that was disapproving everything he did. It was almost hard to watch, and very distracting. This may have caused my dislike for the match, because I came out of it thinking, "Boy, was that terrible!"

This begs the question, where does Eugene go from here? Sure, he could become a tag team with William Regal, but that will eventually get old fast. His gimmick only works for angles like the one he had with Triple H, and I doubt people would like to see [i]that[/i] again.


[b]Diva Dodgeball[/b] - The only part worth watching was the intro to the match, where we got to see some of the hot Diva-wannabes in bikinis. However, I was surprised at the absence of Carmella. As far as I know, the Diva vote-off takes place on every RAW, so where was she?

The whole thing was boring, and completely pointless. I think a gay guy thought up that dodgeball idea, because no guy's getting a hard-on out of that alone (And isn't that what Divas are for, really?), unless you're "Jim" from American Pie. In other words, "bathroom break." The Canadian crowd seemed to express their displeasure, though it certainly came out gay to boo at half-naked chicks.


[b]The Undertaker vs. John Bradshaw Layfield[/b] - The outcome was expected, and while the match wasn't particularly good, it had a good ending. 'Taker needs to throw out the window a few biker habits, though: The shirt, the ridiculous boxing stance, and the "I'm done with you" gesture he made when he left bloody JBL on top of the car. Get with the gimmick, Deadman.

Oh, and that missed punch by 'Taker after the match was over? What was [i]that[/i]? As a huge Taker mark, I looked in embarrassment.

The crowd started chanting for "tables... tables...," as if the match featured D-Von and co. What the **** were they all on? And what's with the wave? Hm? Dopeheads.


[b]Chris Benoit vs. Randy Orton[/b] - Like Orton vs. Edge, this match started getting good about halfway through. The beginning was somewhat boring, which I'm not used to feeling from a Benoit bout. Still, Orton held his own against the better wrestler, at least to a point. Too bad Orton won cleanly. CLEAN. Benoit couldn't beat HHH once clean during his title reign, after 18 years of busting his ***, and here comes this [u]relative[/u] nobody and beats him cleanly? I like Randy Orton, but the overwhelming magnitude of his push is outrageous, and I wouldn't be surprised if he quickly got disinterested with proving the world time and again that he's that good. Then we have Benoit, whose road to become a champion was heavily hyped through the different RAW shows and a DVD, only to have him losing the title in such a short time. Reminds me of The Undertaker back in '97, where he held the title for the same amount of time.

Good luck Randy, you'll need it... or should I say, good luck WWE?[/color][/font]

[Shinmaru]

Oh yeah, I forgot about the crowd. People seem to be split on the crowd, too. On the one hand, you have people who say that the crowd can react however they want, because they paid for their tickets. To me, that's all well and good, but people have to admit that the crowd [i]did[/i] take away from the matches, somewhat. A really hot crowd can really add a ton to a match, and a really listless crowd can suck the life out of a match. Unfortunately, the Summerslam crowd took the latter route.

[THE EVIL EYE]

The matches for the Smackdown tour down under, at least in melbourne are

Torrie Wilson vs Dawn Marie- This match is just to take up time.

Eddie Guerrero vs Kurt Angle in a three stages of hell match- Could be good.

The Undertaker vs JBL for the WWE championship- Could be good

The Dudley Boyz vs Paul London, Billy Kidman and Funaki- Another match to take up time.

Rene Dupree vs John Cena vs Booker T for the US championship- I myself am betting on John Cena winning this match because he is a fan favourite.

I don't know any other matches for the TOur so I will have to check with my friend.
