Predictions, Bitching, Etc.
Jack Swagger vs. Montel Vontavious Porter
Couldn't they have gotten Kofi Kingston involved in this match to make it seem at least somewhat important? They just sort of threw it together with very little build. Anyways... should be a decent match. I'll go with MVP- I see a push coming for him soon.
The Great Khali vs. Kane
I love Kane. I hate Khali. And I hate this feud. And despite my love for Kane, I can't imagine this being a good match. But I hope Kane wins. And then gets a good push.
IC Title: Rey Mysterio (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler
I can see Dolph getting the title in a controversial way. It's a case where Rey is a better wrestler, but Smackdown needs to establish more midcard stars. So I'm going with Dolph. (Despite his stupid fucking name).
Tag Titles: Chris Jericho and The Big Show (c) vs. Cryme Tyme
I don't like Jericho and Show together. I'm hoping that this leads to a feud between the two... and I hope that Jericho turns face, if only because I miss Jericho being funny. I loved his heel turn last year, but now I feel like it's getting kind of stale. (Though it looks like a Face Edge vs. Heel Jericho feud is going to happen when Edge recovers... which should be phenomenal). Anyways... Though my brain tells me Jeri-Show should win, my gut is telling me Cryme Tyme. They haven't held gold yet- they're overdue.
ECW Title: Christian (c) vs. William Regal
Regal seems to have Kozlov and Jackson on his side... could be a very interesting stable. And I think having Regal win the title will be an important part of this stable- like ECW's version of Legacy. I'm going with Regal. (PUT CHRISTIAN ON ECW!!!)
DX vs. Legacy
What I love about this latest DX reunion is that it's much less predictable than the last. When it was DX vs. Spirit Squad- let's face it, all anybody wanted to see was DX kicking some cheerleading ass. Who cares if it was predictable? It was entertaining. But now... Legacy is at the top of RAW, and already has the upperhand on DX. I'm going to go with Legacy... and I think this may set the seeds for a HHH vs. HBK feud.
WWE Title: Randy Orton (c) vs. John Cena
God... this has been done a million times before. Ugh. It could go either way... Cena could win and this feud could continue, or Orton could retain and maybe start a program with someone new. I hope for the latter. Considering DiBiase is rumored to turn face soon, I'm going to say Cena wins, and Orton blames DiBiase. Regardless... why are we seeing this match again?
World Title TLC Match: Jeff Hardy (c) vs. CM Punk
I must give WWE credit- they're trying to build SummerFestSlam to be almost as big as WrestleMania, and yet this is the only gimmic match on the card. There are only two matches I'm not looking forward to (Khali/Kane and Orton/Cena)... but they're relying on classic wrestling. Now with Hardy and Punk- it's been done a few times now, so a gimmic helps. Plus- fuck, I love ladder matches. They may be overdone (Wrestlemania, Extreme Rules), but they're fun. Especially with Hardy. And Punk has done great in the MitB matches. Anyways...
The rumor is that Hardy's taking some time off after SummerSlam. A lot of signs point to this. But there's a part of me... perhaps a naive part... that thinks it's a red herring. I know... call me crazy. But I think he's going to retain. A lot of signs point to Matt turning on him again, taking him out, and helping Punk win. I just think it's too obvious. Call me crazy- Jeff will win.
You people. Talk.

Swagger vs. MVP - It's hard for me because I like both of these guys. I'd love to see MVP move up and take on Randy Orton. I also wouldn't mind seeing Jack Swagger move up and take on John Cena. So, with that said, I really don't care who wins, although I feel like more of me would like to see MVP get the win.
The Great Khali vs. Kane - Honestly, I could care less. If Hardy retains, then I'd say let Kane win, and then go after him. If Punk wins, then I really don't care who wins this. This match should have been a falls count anywheres match.
Rey vs. Dolph - I want Dolph to win, and then, if Punk wins, I want to see CM Punk vs. Rey. I think that would be such an awesome feud.
Jeri-Show( I like that Mittens ) vs. Cryme Tyme - Honestly, I enjoy Jeri-Show right now. They're looked at as the ultimate tag team that can't be beat. Plus, Cryme Tyme is TERRIBLE on the mic. I wouldn't mind seeing a tag team beat Jeri-Show, but atleast they're making the tag titles seem important. With that said, I want Jeri-Show to destroy these guys.
Christian vs. Regal - I love Christian, everyone knows this....but Regal as the champion just seems so badass. Regal has been a great asset to the WWE, so I think he deserves it. Maybe Regal wins, and Raw, Smackdown and ECW do a huge multi-brand trade where Christian lands on Smackdown, and a decent face lands on ECW....that'd be cool.
DX vs. Legacy - We've talked about this before. I think DX will win. I love DX. Always have. I'd love to see them take on Jeri-Show. Could be awesome.
Orton vs. Cena - I like what Ortons done with the title, but he's just so boring to me. I don't know why it happened. I used to really love this gimmick, but Orton and Legacy have just become SOOOO STALE to me. However, I HATE CENA AS THE CHAMPION! So I want Orton to win, but I think they're giving it back to Cena.
Hardy vs. Punk - I agree that Matt Hardy turns on Jeff again and helps Punk get the title back. Jeff will take a little time off like it's been said.....this gives Punk some time to shine....gives Matt some time to be built up as a serious heel....Jeff comes back, beats Matt....then heads after Punk and tries to get the title back....I think this match will be amazing....but I think Punk will win the title back. He's an amazing heel, and really deserves a solid heel run as the champion.
As for the multibrand trade.....
Christian goes to Smackdown....
Undertaker goes to Raw....
Evan Bourne and MVP go to ECW....
How badass would it be to have Christian on ECW. Taker on Raw to feud with Orton, and MVP could take on Regal, and I think, have an amazing feud. Evan Bourne needs to be back on ECW because they're destroying him on Raw, which blows.

Swagger vs. MVP - This is kinda hard for me too,but in the classic scenario of bad guy vs good guy,i pick mvp
The Great Khali vs. Kane - oh,god,why not just book ricky ortiz vs david arquette,this match will suck,making it nodq would have been better,i pick khali,he needs a push too,like his old whc push
Rey vs. Dolph - Dolph,just...Dolph
Jeri-Show( I like that Mittens ) vs. Cryme Tyme - Cryme Tyme's promos were and still are hilarious to watch,but mic skills *shudders* Jeri-Show,i think i seen people use on youtube and on wwe.com,its clever though,i pick Cryme Tyme,then jericho blames bigshow,ending with bigshow chokeslamming jericho,turning face.that would be awesome.
Christian vs. Regal - Christian is fucking awesome,i really dont like regals gimmick right now,its sorta like birchills,he needs the comish gimmick again,but i pick regal,knowing christian will probably win.
DX vs. Legacy - DX plain and simple
Orton vs. Cena - hmm,on one hand orton is boring and vicious,and the other hand...CENA SUCKS ASS,he looked so retarded trying to be bad ass and yelling in randy's face,i lauged my ass off,if cena wins,like i said i will blow my brains out,so ill pick cena,even though it pains me
Hardy vs. Punk - Matt is probably tweening right now,he did help jeff retain his belt,but not when punk attacked him,its a tlc,but chair shots are fucking censored (ironic to Cash's gimmick) which i hate,so i guess i'll pick jeff,its his kinda match
if there was to be a multibrand trade.....
Christian goes to Smackdown....
Slam Master J goes to Raw.... (he needs to be back with festus)

How badass would it be to have Christian on ECW. Timmy is so easily duped. I bet if Matt said the moon was made of cheese, Timmy'd be on a rocket with his fondue set. We all knew Matt meant Smackdown, but Timmy took the bait! Good one, MT! |

in a moment not to be repeated.
Timbo fell victim to Matt. Luckily, Luke always rules AJ so the balance is steady.
regards SummerSlam
these are not predictions, more so what i would like to see
Jack Swagger vs. Montel Vontavious Porter
Build up has been kinda short, but it is not a major match so i can accept that. However, their final tussle on Raw went over pretty well i think. I would like to see MVP get a decent PPV win, but i think the feud could run longer. Im happy for it to be a non title feud, new stars need to be able to get over without a belt, as well as with one.
The Great Khali vs. Kane
Khali is better pointed as a 'face', because as a face he can be beaten without his 'monster' aura being killed off. He does not have to run straight over his opponents. That being said, the poor bastard can hardly move so there is no point pushing him. Kane needs his mask back and he needs to go freaky mental. Feuding for the world title? Right now im happy seeing the smaller guys take the top spots on SD.
IC Title: Rey Mysterio (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler
This is the moment to push Dolph. Whilst he is a long, long way from being in Bret Harts league, ill always remember Bret Vs Perfect at SummerSlam as the moment Bret's singles career took its major stride thanks to him beating an AWESOME talent and winning the IC title.
The IC title has started to mean a little more thanks to Rey. Im happy to say that whilst Rey is an 'older' talent, he has done a great job with the belt, also thanks to Jericho. But it is now time to use the belt to put over a future star, and Dolph is a future star if used correctly. The name is er, 'odd'...but it actually got him noticed, the WWE did a good think, even clever. Whilst we (including me) were looking at the guy walking up and introducing himself and thinking 'what the fuck is this shit', WWE were getting this guy into our minds. And now he is being pushed. Good.
Tag Titles: Chris Jericho and The Big Show (c) vs. Cryme Tyme
I love Jeri-Show (thats not matts idea btw).
As a team they should be seen as almost unbeatable owing to the dynamic of size and speed and smarts. Jerichos heels run is awesome, never gets boring to me. I really, really do not want to see them against DX (sorry Timbo) but Jeri-Show need to be working with younger talent.
Cryme Tyme? Im not a huge fan but i think they deserve a shot. They have been pushed before and it went nowhere. All i would say is that taking the belts of Jeri-Show so quickly would be pointless. It is a shame because a win for Cryme Tyme would be great for them. Im torn on this one. Mainly because having the belts means appearing on all shows, and Jericho across all shows is good for business.
ECW Title: Christian (c) vs. William Regal
If they are moving C-Man over to Smackdown then id say OK, put the belt on Regal because then it should mean the belt WONT go to Kozlov!
Kozlov could benefit from working alongside Regal. And a mini heel group could work on ECW. But like Timbo said, they need a good face to go against them. Dreamer? Nope, he needs to retire.
If Christian is staying put on ECW, then he needs to keep the belt, again because lossing it so soon would make taking it off Dreamer pointless. If he is staying then give him at least another month to build up Regal and then drop the belt.
DX vs. Legacy
I just do not get 'it'. DX original was awesome, DX original HHH version was awesome. DX against the McMahons and the Spirt Squad was fucking awful and did nothing to build any new stars or produce great TV or PPVs.
DX latest version? I will hold full judgement. If they put over Legacy at SummerSlam ill gladly tip my hat. If Legacy getting the upper hand on Raw means that DX beat the shit out of them at SS then well, i guess i wont.
I do not find DX funny, if they were a heel duo then maybe, but this PG bullshit is not funny. Maybe for the younger fans, not for me.
Legacy should have been walking around with the Tag title belts for a long time now, they should have been dominating. That has not happened and yeah, they seem kinda dated now. Still do not want to see Ted go face, he is not over yet. He is not ready for a World title programme. A couple months full push as a team, and then a break up with the US title involved could be awesome.
WWE Title: Randy Orton (c) vs. John Cena
If Cena wins, then fuck it.
World Title TLC Match: Jeff Hardy (c) vs. CM Punk
They built up Jeff leaving last time these talents met, and they swerved it with Jeff taking the belt. Now its rumoured it is summerslam that he is going to leave. If he does, i reckon WWE is trying to catch lighting in a bottle twice and put Matt in Jeff's spot. Matt Vs Punk could be good if Matt is actually given more than a few fucking weeks to work with before being dumped.
Otherwise maybe Matt will turn again, if it means a solid heel push then ok. But who would he face? Jeff again, what if Jeff is gone? Not Punk because he is a heel and not Dolph because he is heel.
