The Summerslam Main Event

[Guest Nevermortal]

There's no actual rule that says that more than one person can't have the Summerslam Title shot. I mean, its not like we've never seen 3 or 4 Way Main Events on PPVs.

 

This could still give RVD some hope.

 

Personally, I'd like to see RVD, Angle, Rocky, and Brocky.

 

Now I'm getting verklempt. Talk amongst yaselves.

[Guest chirs3]

You didn't give us a topic!

 

But anywho, RVD/Taker! I'm still praying for it. But, as long as it was elimination, I like your idea.

[Guest Austin3164life]

Between those four you mentioned, I wouldn't mind seeing a "Final Four" type match with Battle Royal rules. If Austin, Bret, Vader, and Taker made it work, then I'm sure that Angle, RVD, Brock, and Rocky can as well. The only problem I have with that is that Summerslam is the #2 ppv of the year. There should be that one "Colossal summer match" like there is for Wrestlemania. While I am not so high on RVD's wrestling abilities, I do feel that he is a proven draw and I feel that he should face The Undertaker at Summerslam. There seems to be some backround with these two, and it's almost as if they've been building up for it. Only time will tell if Vince will follow through. That is all.

[Guest Harry Hood]

One problem is if RVD still gets the belt, he may still be the title holder when he is fueding with Brock. Then if Vince feels he doesn't draw he jobs the title on free television as it's happened before and killing RVD's push once and for all

[Guest The Man in Blak]

As much as I like the idea of a Final Four-type of match, I'm not sure the WWE has enough of a roster to fill out the rest of the PPV.

 

So, here's your possibilities:

 

Rock/Brock

Rock/Angle

Angle/Brock

Angle/RVD

RVD/Undertaker

 

Rock/Brock seems to be the most likely, simply because Rock is heading out to greener pastures in Hollywood, so having him put over Lesnar would fit right in. Also, Rock having the title would probably help draw a couple of fans back in.

 

Rock/Angle is a little more of a longshot, especially since it's been done more than enough. However, if the WWE feels a little uncomfortable with either Lesnar or RVD and somehow ignores the title shot at SummerSlam, I wouldn't put it past them to throw Rock/Angle together to at least guarantee that we'd have a killer match for the PPV.

 

A lot of people such as Mark Madden have been clamoring for Angle/Brock, but I really don't see how it would match up. Both guys are heels and an immediate face turn from Heyman doesn't seem like it would really help Brock, who seems to just be languishing. The match itself, however, would have the potential to be phenomenal if they would let Brock cut loose from the "generic power guy" offense.

 

Angle/RVD would have but it doesn't quite match up just right. Sure, the match quality and the prior storyline between the two is excellent, but the difficulties emerge in who you're going to put over. If Angle is going to be in the main event, I think he'd need to come away strong, given that he's just now getting another "strong" run towards the top. If RVD is in the main event, you've either got to put him over or suffer another kneejerk from the fans, who were screaming for RVD to get the title back at No Mercy last year.

 

Finally, I'd consider RVD/Undertaker the second-most-likely option for the WWE right now, as it could not only give a face Undertaker a "passing of the torch" to cap off his career, but it elevates RVD and blows off a feud that actually has more than enough storyline to hold up a PPV main event. If Lesnar's lunar push gets discarded, I'd wager that we'll see this.

[Guest bob_barron]

I think a fatal four way with Taker, Brock, RVD and either Rock, Angle or Triple H would be the best.

 

I know everyone hates Trip but lets be realistic here.

[Guest cabbageboy]

I see HHH inevitably joining the NWO at this point and facing Booker at SS. With Nash out he all but HAS to. Booker/HHH is a fresh match and it gives Book the chance to revive his old catch phrase "Don't hate the playa, hate the Game."

 

Main even is a confusing toss up. There is no real logical blow away match to build to any way you look at it. If you don't have RVD main event, what exactly is he going to do? Brock and Rock could be a co main without titles being involved, but guys like Angle and UT sorta have to be involved here or else the current angle is meaningless. I think Angle will feud with the Canadians or something if he is tossed from the mains.

 

Maybe a 4 way with RVD/UT/Brock/Rock done elimination style? Brock defeats the Rock and sends him packing but then gets himself DQed due to excessive violence on RVD, leaving UT and RVD.....RVD makes the comeback to win the title and UT raises his hand.

 

Sounds good to me.

[Guest bob_barron]

While I don't like DQs this sets up a good RVD-Brock fall feud

[Guest chirs3]

Triple Main Event, maybe?

 

HHH/Booker, Brock/Rock, Taker/RVD for the title?

 

Leaves Angle and Jericho mired down in the midcard as always... grumble grumble...

 

But if they go with a fatal fourway, then build something beforehand between Angle and Brock (Angle the heel), and continue with RVD/Taker. Have Angle eliminated first (sorry 'Sault), then like you said, Brock DQ'd for something. Then RVD over Taker. It puts two storylines into one match, and the right man goes home with the title.

 

Co-main event: Booker T/Chris Jericho vs Triple H in a handicapped DEATHMATCH!

 

... crap, Triple H has nosold death before, hasn't he... forgot about that...

[Guest Fook_Hing_Ho]

This is how I see Summerslam

 

RVD vs. Taker (RVD wins the belt)

 

Rock vs. Angle (To give Angle the rub from making Rock tap)

 

Booker vs. HHH (To finish the NWO feud and elevate Booker)

 

Jericho vs. Edge (It's not at Vengeance, so they might as well have it here)

 

Mark Henry, Rikishi vs. Storm, Christian vs. Chuckabilly vs. Holly, Valbowski (Storm, Christian win Tag belts)

 

Benoit vs. Flair (YES YES YES!!!)

 

Brock vs. Kane (Assuming Kane is back, Brock retains IC title)

 

Hogan vs. Vince (Hogan wins and gets to retire)

 

Add in some undercard matches with guys like Cena, Batista, Eddie, Hardys, Goldust, and NWO and we're all set.

[Guest bob_barron]

I'd rather do Kane v. XPac just to blow off the feud and see XPac get killed

[Guest Harry Hood]

Yeh bt what if Xpac went over and killed Kane?

 

Then whatcha gonna do?

[Guest FeArHaVoC]

I hate 3 and 4 ways matches. MOST guys can't pull it off. I just want to see a straight up good match between 2 guys for the title.

 

Summerslam is suppose to be the #2 PPV of the year. I want something "special" But then again, when was the last time the Heavy Weight Title changed hands at Summerslam?

[Guest Fook_Hing_Ho]

1999 when Foley beat Austin and HHH in a three way, only to lose it to HHH the next night on raw.

[Guest Brian]

I thought the plan with the NWO was to have Booker march through the lower guys (Big Show, X-Pac), get caught up with Nash before beating him, forcing Michaels to wrestle and lose as the big blow-off match.

 

The way they're booking the RVD vs. Lesnar feud, I wouldn't be surprised if they were stupid enough to go with a three-way, but the way it seems to be going, RVD's been made to lose every match in some way by Heyman. He had a little retribution by hitting the Van Terminator as a tease. If naything, they should have Brock go over almost clean, with a little cheating, but have RVD fight off and kick out of the first F5 either forcing Brock to find a new way to win (shooting star) or just pushing him to the limits. Than on RAW if RVD was made strong, RVD comes out during Brock and Heyman's promo, challenges Brock, and Heyman manages to get into a mic battle where he manages to put the title shot on the line. I think Dreamer needs to come out during the match and get retribution on Heyman OR RVD needs to nail Heyman before beating Brock. But I also believe that because RVD raised the stakes with Heyman, and Brock at Vengeance, RVD needs to find some way to raise the stakes to end the match. And he's got to do something that, in some way, gives the fans something comparable to what Mysterio will be doing on SmackDown.

 

As for Brock whatever happens begins the slow face trun, which along the way he'll probably get a job over the Rock.

 

RVD vs. Undertaker is the only way to go right now.

[Guest cabbageboy]

Let's wait and see if Rey is allowed to do his whole act, and if he does will people care? The cruiser division is considered meaningless by most WWE fans. A while ago Kidman did a friggin shooting star press to the floor and nobody cared a week later.

 

I answered the "RVD must raise the stakes" issue in another thread. To beat Brock he needs to bust out the SOMMERSAULT INTO THE 5TH ROW! And use the 5 Star. And use the Van Daminator. And the Van Terminator. I mean RVD literally needs to throw the kitchen sink at him.

[Guest Sandman9000]

Dreamer? He's back on Heat and eating shit. He was allowed to re-call himself the Innovator of Violence once on Raw and that is it. It will be forgotten about by the next Raw.

 

Remember, this is the E we are talking about. When the F left, it also took the short-term memory with it.

You woul have to eliminate Brock early to make the match not suck.

[Guest Brian]

The memory was gone long before the F.
