None of the titles have been held for over 2 months except the tag titles now...I'm just saying Mostly because the only descent tag team allowed to do sh*t today are the "champs". Pathetic.

Personally, I felt this PPV all around was pretty good.
Opener was a fun match, that used guys that needed to be on the card. But as J12 said, Truth/Morrison should of been on the card. That feud has been in the making for like 4 months, just for it to be blown off in a 5 min match on Raw?
Sheamus/Henry was an enjoyable match. Both are over really well with their positions so I knew from the beginning this match was not ending clean. Hard-hitting physical match that was rather enjoying. Finish served its purpose of having Henry look strong, while Sheamus doesn't look bad. It's too early to have Henry lose anyway.
Bryan/Barrett was a really good match. This was probably the most impressive Barrett match to date. He's a good worker when given the time to show it. He needed this win a little more to build his character back up on SD. Both looked great in this match.
Kelly/Beth wasn't a bad match. Was good on the Diva's standards. Surprised Beth lost.
I enjoy Cee Lo's work, but he was awful tonight. No place in wrestling to have any musical performances, unless for entrances to certain wrestlers.
Orton/Christian was a very enjoyable match. I figured after Edge told Christian off there would be someone else to help Christian win (Mason Ryan or Jericho perhaps?) but not obviously. Hopefully this doesn't signal the end of Christian's main event push. But it most likely does, as Orton will probably move on to Henry. I would of liked to see them explore other feuds with Christian as champ, with Sheamus or DB perhaps. This feud dragged on a little bit near the end.
Punk/Cena was a great match, not as good as their MITB match, but that can be contributed to it being in Chicago too. Cena doesn't get enough credit for how good he is in the ring. He can definitely carry his own and put on a great match given the opponent. I figured the ending would be screwy, but it's safe to say NO ONE expected that. A lot went down. WWE can take many different ideas coming out of tonight. Really excited to see how this all comes together tomorrow on Raw.
Also, commentary was AWFUL tonight. Whose bright idea was it put those three on, with JR fully back to commentating? That main event needed his calling.

Show was blah until title matches. Hopefully Orton/Christian fued is over even though their matches have been very good I think it is time for something fresh. What the hell is the fallout form the madness of Punk/Cena? So many directions for this to go. Hopefully they can keep this ball rolling with Cena/Punk and the new players in the mix for something special down the road in the next few months. Is this how bad WWE PPV is lately? The title match suck! Punk and Cena can't wrestle for poop. Alberto Del Rio is better than both Punk and Cena. The only two wrestlers that should ever main event a PPV is Kurt Angle and RVD. Cena need to be gone from WWE and wrestling. Punk need to get better at wrestling and lastly Summerslam stage look exactly like SM and RAW. The new titantron make modern PPV stages not unique what so ever. Best part of this whole show was Nash appearance and Peace.

First off SummerSlam was GREAT, To the people bitching i feel sorry for you.
The opening 6 man tag was a good opener and an enjoyable match, Del Rio got a lot of cheers after his Entrance, Rey looked like he was never injured. Solid match.
Sheamus/Henry was actually a good match, It kept me watching as i didn't fall asleep or get a snack or anything, Lots of brawling from both men. When Henry put Sheamus through the Barricade the fans were CRAZY, The security guy was running. Another good match.
Kelly vs Beth, Seriously i was actually entertained buy the match, Kelly did good and Beth got a lot of cheers from the crowd. When she went for the Gram Slam i thought it was it but a nice roll up counter by Kelly for the win, Only thing i hated was Beth lost.
Cee lo Green's performance i hated, Crowd was a bit dead except for some people dancing. The Bella's looked nice.
Also alot of adverts shown, Twix, Statham's new Movie, 7/11.
Barrett vs Bryan was a solid wrestling match, Barrett took some big kicks from Bryan, Nice clothesline in the end by Barrett and then Wasteland for the win. Barrett got a good pop.
Orton/Christian- Now this was a GREAT match, Maybe even MOTN but i HATED the fact that Orton won and is now a 9 time Champion, Edge had a nice appearance he got a HUGE POP but why have Edge turn on his best friend, Edge has won World Titles in a cowardly like way and has hided behind a lot of guys. Christian took A TON of bumps in this match, RKO through the announce table, Kendo stick shots, Chair shots and a Chair shot that sent him flying through a table, Powerslam through another table, DDT into the trash can and a mid air RKO on steel steps while Orton only took a few kendo stick shots. F ORTON.
Cena/Punk- Not as good as their MITB match but still great, Now im giving this MOTN because the ending to Orton/Christian killed it for me. Some loud split chants in this match, Great crowd. Both men once again showed good wrestling. Loved the Savage chants.
Now the ending, When HHH counted the 3 count while Cena had his foot on the rope at the 1 count was kinda shocking as he just pretended to act like he never saw it, Hes congratulating Punk as Punk celebrates, He tries to shake Punk's hand instead he raises his arm and leaves the ring then OUT OF NOWHERE Kevin Nash jumps the barricade and clotheslines Punk and gives him a sick Jackknife Power Bomb and leaves, HHH comes back and acts confused as Del Rio comes out who gets a huge pop cashes in MITB and enzerguri's Punk and wins the Title which got a huge pop as HHH looks confused.
What a FN ENDING, Unpredictable and it makes sense yet you guys complain, I bet most of the haters didn't watch the PPV or pay to see it so they read Del Rio is the new Champ and they go cry.
This is how it makes sense, Instead of HHH screwing Punk he screws Cena to make Punk actually trust HHH or to get on Punk's good side, When Punk refused to shake HHH's hand HHH just raises Punk's arm and walks out, When Punk gets Jackknifed by Nash HHH runs back and acts more confused.
Here's the catch, HHH was in on it the whole time. Why just pedigree Punk and Cena? It would make him Heel right away, So instead he screws Cena 'by accident' and instead of taking out Punk he gets one of his BEST FRIENDS to take out Punk for him so Del Rio can cash in MITB.
Really do you guys remember the kliq? You think Nash was so random attacking Punk well it was SMART and was the slow build to an HHH heel turn. Punk can say HHH was in on it the whole time by calling his buddy to do the dirty work while HHH acts surprised, HHH can say he knew nothing about Nash, Then HHH will tease a Heel turn in the coming months then at Vengeance he can officially make the heel turn and it will set up HHH/Punk for Surivor Series.
BTW the commentary was great, Cole's reaction to Del Rio cashing in, Cole and Booker's reaction when they showed Nash's face, Good stuff.
Overall a GREAT SummerSlam, 8/10

you people never seem to look at the bigger picture of things... always quick to blindly judge something. HOW DARE ANYONE HAVE AN OPINION ON AN ANGLE WITHOUT KNOWING ITS CONCLUSION. I paid 40+ dollars for this PPV...let's hope it gets better on free TV in the following weeks

I love these tools coming in an "explaining" to me why this angle logically makes sense. As if I'm going to like it and be like "Hey, you're right! This angle is awesome now!"... save your breath. Del Rio winning is ANOTHER case of putting the strap on someone to get them over, rather than giving it to them because they're over. Kevin Nash returns to lay out CM Punk. If this were TNA, everyone in this thread would be bitching. Claiming that he's "washed up" and is "burying the younger talent"... but instead, now it's awesome! As long as this doesn't lead to a Punk/Nash, or Punk/Triple H feud... I'm okay with this. Still don't agree with putting the title on Del Rio this early, though. - Triple S

Everyone leave, the king of the snide bungholes are here. Your the biggest ing tool on this board. No one is forcing an opinion on you, but you are making it out as it is. Your a blatant IWC bunghole who thinks what they think is correct and thats the only way or its horseshit. You are the personification of that. Reading your posts are the equivalent of eating horseshit, no one enjoys them. You act so high and mighty, yet you are so low and pitiful. Jesus dude get off of your own jock because you act so high and mighty behind a computer screen but in live you live in the background saying snide remarks under your breath.

Is it just me, or is Punk the only HUGE loser here?
He didn't beat Cena clean. Cena had his foot on the rope, therefore looks strong in the loss because he has a gripe. He got his ass handed to him by a guy who hasn't been on TV in months. Then he lost his title to Del Rio.
He lost damn near everything here. At least he should have been allowed to get a CLEAN pin over Cena so he has something to brag about. All in all Punk has nothing while everybody else gains of him

All in all Punk has nothing while everybody else gains of him There's probably something tied in with the storylines to why HHH counted three with Cena's foot on the ropes, so really Punk couldn't win clean. Just because Punk lost the title doesn't mean his current spot on Raw will diminish.

what a bad night for the IWC, Punk loses, Beth loses, Bryan loses and Christian loses... i can stomach the Del Rio cash in and the Nash attack, but I really hated Cena's foot being on the rope, that put a bad taste in my mouth, why can't Cena just lose ONCE AND A WHILE. also this hot potato crap theyre pulling with all the title belts is extremely annoying, not 1 of the championships mean a damn thing to me at this point, I may be in the minority but i don't see any reason why I should care about Orton being world champion AGAIN. OH, and the commentary tonight was dreadful, how did Booker get the 3rd seat when they have JR sitting around is beyond me
