Thought: WWE Summerslam PPV review…

So I watched last night’s WWE Summerslam 2008 ppv. And it was actually pretty decent, I actually enjoyed every match. They were fun.

The main event of the night was The Undertaker vs. Edge in a Hell In a Cell match. It was a great match. Both men, Undertaker and Edge performed great. I never really like Edge and I always get bored watching the wrestler Edge, but I actually enjoyed him in this match. Edge pulled on some really great moves and did some great bumps. The Undertaker won this match as he never lost a Hell In a Cell.

The WWE Championship match with Triple H vs. The Great Khali was actually a great one too. Again, I usually don’t like the Great Khali but he was actually great in this match, the match was actually a pretty long one, they did a great job on getting people thinking that Khali was going to win this one but nope, Triple H ended up getting the win and retaining the title pretty cleanly. Only thing I’m dissapointed in that Triple H didn’t bring out his signature weapon to hit Khali with, the sledgehammer.

Matt Hardy vs. Mark Henry…this match was kind of boring. It was one match I didn’t like at the ppv last night. It was just a quick one. We did see a Hardy Boys reunion with Jeff and Matt reuniting but they just did a quick performance and that was it, wish it was a little longer.

Batista vs. John Cena is one of the better matches that John Cena has ever been in. This match was won cleanly by Batista without any interferences this time. This match was great.

MVP vs. Jeff Hardy a was pretty good match as well, I like MVP, good performer and good wrestler. Two great wrestlers in the same match. MVP got the win in this one.

Winners take all Tag Team Match with Santino Marella/Beth Phoenix vs. Kofi Kingston/Mickie James…this match was kind of fun. I enjoy Santino and Beth Phoenix partnering. Santino picked up the win for the IC Champ and Beth is now women’s champ again.

HBK Shawn Michaels came out to the ring with his wife Rebecca, his real wife to announce his “storyline” retirement. Of course Chris Jericho came out and interupted the speech. Even if Jericho is supposed to be a heel/badguy, Jericho got cheered when he came out anyways. Jericho was trying to force Shawn to admit that HBK is retiring because of Jericho injuring HBK so badily not to perform, HBK replied back, “yes, I will admit it, if you sit home with your wife and sit down with your kids and admit that you will never be HBK”. That caused Jericho to lose his temper tantrum that he tried to punch HBK in the face but HBK moved out of the way but Jericho punched his Rebecca HBK’s wife in the face instead. This HBK vs. Jericho feud ain’t over yet, as it will continue, there’ll probably be a few more HBK vs. Jericho rematches at the next ppv’s.

Last night’s Summerslam was decent and good.

Score for WWE Summerslam 2008 = *** (3 Stars as in Good)
