Guest raptor Report post Posted August 24, 2002 Not what I think will happen, what I want to happen/should happen. -Edge vs. Eddie Guerrero Winner: Eddie Guerrero via Frog Splash after Chavo interferes -The Un-Americans vs. Booker T. and Goldust (Tag Team Titles) Winners: Un-Americans via Unprettier on Goldust. I'd have them steal it, not via cheating, but sort of cheap to put over Booker/Goldust next month. Then a fued with the Island Boyz. -Test vs. The Undertaker Winner: The Undertaker via Last Ride -Rey Misterio vs. Kurt Angle Winner: Rey via counter ankle lock rollup. Angle will be over whether he loses or not. Rey is in a far more precarious position. -Chris Benoit vs. Rob Van Dam (Intercontinental Title) Winner: Chris Benoit via Dragon Suplex -Ric Flair vs. Chris Jericho Winner: Chris Jericho via Walls of Jericho. Flair then retires. -Shawn Michaels vs. HHH Winner: Shawn Michaels via chair-assisted Superkick -Brock Lesnar vs. The Rock (Undisputed Title) Winner: Brock Lesnar via F5. Rock is thus brutally injured. Just for laughs, here's what I posted 3 Months ago in the "Predict Summerslam" topic before KotR. Here's what I'd like to see (I also think it's plausible) -WWE Title:The Undertaker© vs. Rob Van Dam [street Fight] Winner: Rob Van Dam via Five-Star Frogsplash - Hulk Hogan vs. Kurt Angle (Wig vs. Career) Winner: Kurt Angle via Anglelock [to give Hogan a break, and then bring him back via loophole] -Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Chris Benoit vs. Eddie Guerrero Winner: Chris Benoit via Crossface on Austin [after Flair's chairshot] -WWE IC Title: Brock Lesnar© vs. Bubba Ray Winner: Brock Lesnar via ref's decision -#1 Contenders: Edge vs. Chris Jericho [Ladder Match] Winner: Chris Jericho -Elimination Match for the WWE Tag Team Titles Chuck/Billy© vs. Lance Storm/Test vs. Kidman/Mysterio vs. Mark Henry/Farooq Winner(s): Test/Lance Storm via Big Kick on Kidman -Suicide Six Man for the WWE Crusierweight Title: The Hurricane© vs. Jamie Knoble vs. Tajiri vs. Chavo vs. Funaki vs. Shannon Moore Winner: Hurricane via Chokeslam on Tajiri [after Maven interferes] -King Booker T./Goldust/Kane vs. Kevin Nash/X-Pac/Big Show Winner(s) Booker/Goldust/Kane via Axe Kick on X-Pac HEAT -WWE European Title: William Regal© vs. Raven Winner: Raven via Raven Effect -WWE Woman's Title: Trish Stratus© va.

Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted August 24, 2002 Edge vs. Eddy Guerrero- Is there ANYTHING on the line here? Considering such, I pick Eddy the heel. Un-Americans vs. Goldust-Booker- My main man, Booker T, will put an end to this stupid faction and send it back into the timelock where it belongs, along side "Slaughter the Iraqi Turncoat." NOW CAN YOU DIG THAT? Test vs. Taker- I almost don't even care. At it's best, this match will break out into a pier 6. Rey vs. Angle- Rey of course. It's stupid to give a guy two month's of "HE'S COMING" promos and then just job him out. Benoit vs. RVD- I don't even have a favorite here, they're neck and neck. I just want to sit back and enjoy. Flair vs. Jericho- Flair trashed the Fozzy set and has cost Jericho several matches. Jericho mostly has just talked trashed and interrupted a promo. I see Jericho going over. HHH-HBK- HHH knows who put him where he is and lays for Shawn, costing him absolutely nothing. Unless this somehow turns into a mysterious No-DQ, which these kind of matches are prone to do. If it does, it would go any what way, although I wouldn't be suprised to see a million run-ins followed up with Shawn losing in an un-painful way. Rock-Brock- Paul costs Brock the match, setting up a rift between the two. Tune into Raw for the thrilling conclusion. And finally, from the people still waiting after the second match: ..........SUUUUCKAAAAA!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest cabbageboy Report post Posted August 24, 2002 Edge vs. Eddy Guerrero- Uncle Eddie needeth the win. Edge pinned him in the SMDN main event, therefore wrestling logic states Eddie gets it back here. Un-Americans vs. Goldust-Booker- Booker T & Golddust. Booker and GD should whoop em with help from Mini Dust. Test vs. Taker- Undertaker big time. Rey vs. Angle- Angle, but not via anklelock, more like a small package win. Benoit vs. RVD- Hard to say. I'd like to see RVD win it here but it gives Raw nearly all the belts. Benoit will retain somehow. Flair vs. Jericho- Chris Jericho via some foul means. HHH-HBK- HHH, Michaels winning would make no sense on various levels. Rock-Brock- Brock has to win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ISportsFan Report post Posted August 24, 2002 With Paul Heyman in the lead booking position for Smackdown, it seems as if the matches on the Thursday show have been incredible, as well as the storylines being consistantly solid. Raw, on the other hand, seems to lack the match quality and has varying degrees of angle quality. Can the two shows co-exist for one night, SummerSlam, which has the possibility to be the best PPV in WWE history? Can SummerSlam 2002 beat WrestleMania XVII for the best PPV in WWE history? Or will it be just another PPV, like most other ones from this year, and be forgotten in a few days or weeks? WWE Undisputed Championship Match: Rock © v. Brock Lesnar The title, after starting the year in the midst of a solid 4 month reign from Chris Jericho, has been hot-shotted like a hot potato amongst HHH, the Undertaker, Hulk Hogan, and the Rock. Speaking of which, the Rock has had the title for one month, and doesn't appear to have the chance to hold it for longer than that. He's filming a movie in September, and pretty much has to lose the title either at SummerSlam on Sunday or at one of the two TV shows in the coming week. Brock Lesnar, on the other hand, is in the final phase of his monster push since debuting in WWE after WrestleMania. He sold too much for the likes of Bubba Tuff in the beginning, but since jumping to Smackdown he has been booked well by Heyman (with the exception of the Rikishi fiasco last week). The two questions remain, though. First, can Brock actually wrestle a main event match of about 15 minutes without blowing up and still tell a story? And, does he have the crowd respect to main event the second biggest show of the year? The match will be interesting, for a number of reasons. Will WWE pull the trigger and put a green rookie with a limited moveset and meager crowd reactions on top of the company by pinning the biggest star in wrestling? If they get cold feet, who will get the title in the week to come? Can the Rock pull a good match out of the green Lesnar, like DDP and Goldberg's situation at Halloween Havoc 1998? I predict that Lesnar will walk out with the title in about 13 minutes or so, and Heyman will definitely get involved. The match will probably be about **, give or take a 1/2* or so. Unsanctioned No DQ Match: Shawn Michaels v. Triple H If it's unsanctioned, can they turn the cameras off? This match is the semi-main event because it's Michaels' first match since WrestleMania XIV, which was a darn good match against Steve Austin. But, Triple H is slower than he was in 2000, and is no Austin at this time. Michaels is not what he used to be in the ring, despite the fact that he cleaned up his act backstage after his Christ conversion. Triple H had a run that few people have ever had in 2000-2001. He had ****+ matches with Foley, Rock, Jericho, Benoit, Austin, and the tag match that was match of the year in 2001. He was truly "The Game." But, he has not had a good singles match since Judgment Day's cell match with Jericho, and hasn't had a great one since he bulked up during his rehab. Will the match suck? Probably. I am rooting for them to put on a good match, but I don't think they can. I'm guessing HHH gets the clean win in about 22 minutes (WAY TOO LONG) that is another tool to try and push HHH down our throats. Probably a bad match for the length given, but around *1/2 or **. Intercontinental Championship Match: Chris Benoit © v. Rob Van Dam My thoughts on this match are already well documented. This is my biggest fear. Benoit NEEDS the win, Smackdown NEEDS the IC title, and RVD can afford the loss because he's so undeniably over. But, it would just totally suck for Benoit to lose and the IC belt to go back to Raw. So, they might do it. Just to spite me. (Me: 8/20/02, 10:04 Central time) This match will be incredibly awesome, with Benoit's mean streak in full force. Will Benoit win the match, thus keeping the title continuity with tag/hardcore on Raw and IC/cruiser on Smackdown? Or will the bookers do the "swerve" and put the title on RVD and make the fans happy? I predict a ****1/2 affair, a potential MOTYC, with Benoit coming out on top in about 16 minutes. Will that happen? Right now, I'm at 60-40 with Benoit in the lead on who will win. This is the toughest match to call. Tag Team Championship Match: UnAmericans (Storm/Christian) v. Booker T/Goldust The second toughest match to call, in both quality and actual result. The UnAmericans are picking up steam lately, with wins the past two weeks in multi-man tag matches. Can they pick up at least one win at SummerSlam (since we know that one particular 6'10", 12 year veteran will not be losing)? Booker T is the second most over face on Raw, only behind RVD. But, he's got more experience on top of a promotion with actual TV time at normal hours on a large network (e.g. not on Friday nights), so he's more likely to get a push. For now, however, he's in the tag ranks with the comedic Goldust character, and they're fighting for America's honor. The match can reach as much as ***1/2 or so, with ** being the worst we could get I'm guessing. Lance Storm and Christian will get the win in about 10 minutes. Actually, I'm about 65-35 on this one, but the UnAmericans need the win, and can pin Goldust so nobody with a main event future will get pinned. (Note: I'm scared about this, but as of now all 4 heels have the wins so far, with more to come) Ric Flair v. Chris Jericho Bottom line: Chris Jericho needs a win more than anybody in WWE right now. More than Kurt Angle, more than Brock Lesnar, more than Flair, more than RVD, more than Eddy, etc. He has not won a PPV match since No Way Out (!), and that came about due to MASSIVE nWo interference. Heck, he lost to Cena at Vengeance, HHH twice, and RVD once in that span. Flair beat Guerrero at King of the Ring, but has been jobbing freely since then. And, really, is he going to main event ever again? Probably not. So, the jobbing should continue, despite Flair's awesomeness for the past 30 years. So, to make it five for five for the heels in the preview so far, Chris Jericho should prevail in 12 minutes or so, with the match being about ***. Kurt Angle v. Rey Mysterio (Jr.) Kurt Angle beat Hulk Hogan, via submission (first time since Luger in 1997) to the ankle lock, and solidified his place at the top of WWE forever. He's in a category of household names of people that have beaten Hogan in WWE. People like Undertaker, Yokozuna, Ultimate Warrior, Andre the Giant, the Rock, Brock Lesnar, and the Genius. Well, you get the point. Rey Mysterio is the first cruiserweight that came from WCW that Vince McMahon hasn't totally ruined. He hasn't been limited too much in his moveset, and is actually allowed to get over. If the other guys were allowed to be themselves, we'd have Noble, Helms, Tajiri, Chavo, Kidman, and Funaki merchandise with 10 minute matches on PPV every month. But, such is life. The match is a total clash of styles, but it should still be great nonetheless. It could easily reach **** or more with about 12 or more minutes. I do predict the SIXTH heel win, as Angle gets the duke over Rey. It will only help Rey, though, I'm guessing. Undertaker v. Test I refuse to talk about this match much. Taker will win, giving the faces a win finally, in about 10 minutes with his crappy powerbomb in a DUD, with the possibility of getting up to ** if everything goes their way. Eddy Guerrero v. Edge When you only have 7 matches, and need a good opener, CALL EDDY~! The match has not a lot of hype or story to it, but it will be awesome because there's Eddy. I unfortunately see the match only getting 8 or 9 minutes, because Vince is cruel and we want 15, darn it. Plus, we need our 10 minutes of Undertaker. Edge will win to continue his ascent to the top of the card in a ***1/2 or so match, more stars with more time. Overall: I recommend buying this sucker, because it could be a great PPV with little doubt in my mind. Match order is vital to keep fans happy, with the likelyhood of many heels going over. Hopefully the NYC fans will migrate in large numbers to Nassau and make the show worthwhile from a crowd heat perspective. It could be the greatest WWE PPV ever, if everybody steps it up. The tag title match, IC title match, Edge/Eddy match, Angle/Mysterio match, and Flair/Jericho match can all be over *** and could all reach ****, with Benoit/RVD possibly reaching the magical five. Keep the crap short (cough*UT/Test*cough), and we have ourselves a dandy for $35. Preview Grade: A-. Jason Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest jester Report post Posted August 24, 2002 Edge vs. Eddy Guerrero Edge. The don't seem to have any plans for Eddie, and they still want Edge to be that big new superstar face. So they'll sacrifice Eddie, who hasn't been getting much in the wins department lately anyway. Un-Americans vs. Goldust-Booker I'm leaning towards Bookdust here. If I were Christian, Storm and Test, and would not want to be in an anti-American angle on the anniversary of Sept 11. Test vs. Taker Taker. My guess is this will be the worst match of the night. Rey vs. Angle Rey. WWE isn't afraid to job Angle to just about anybody. Benoit vs. RVD Could have been an awesome feud if they had some build, even if it was just Stephanie/Bischoff threatening each participant with death and taxes if they didn't get the belt for their show. <Naive Mode On>Benoit retains on cheating or interference, freeing RVD up for a program in the main event</naive mode off> Flair vs. Jericho Battle of the Good Wrestlers Sacrificed to Make the Other Lugs Look Good! Neither guy has looked very threatening lately. Random guess? Jericho. WWE really goofed by not making this submissions only--Walls vs. Figure 4. HHH-HBK I'm guessing HHH will have lots of things broken over his head in a semi-entertaining fashion to rise this match above Test/Taker, but not by much. I'm thinking that HHH will win as WWE tries desperately to convince us how IMPORTANT HHH is, how HE IS THE NUMBER ONE WRESTLER EVER AND AUSTIN ISN'T FIT TO WASH HIS TIGHTS, HOW THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE REVOLVES AROUND HHH AND HOW PAYING LOTS OF MONEY JUST TO WATCH HIM PICK HIS NOSE IS SUCH A PRIVLEDGE. But HBK will get to save some face at the end, either by a post-match beat down or handshake. Rock-Brock I think Brock is getting it, it's just a question of it being at Summerslam, or the following Smackdown. Eh. Brock gets at Summerslam. I find myself not caring much.

Guest Mystery Eskimo Report post Posted August 24, 2002 Edge to beat Eddy. I don't see this being a longterm feud. BookerDust over Storm&Christian. Undertaker squashes Test. Kurt beats Rey via feet on ropes Benoit over RVD by belt shot Jericho clean win over Flair, who finally makes his big announcement and retires. HHH to beat HBK. Anything else would be pointless.

Guest Brian Report post Posted August 24, 2002 I'm very excited about this card. Just wrestling. No gimmicks. Fresh match-ups. Eddie Guerrero vs. Edge I'm pretty sure based on the booking of the SmackDown match and that were probably headed to Benoit vs. Edge that we'll say Eddie win. They want to keep Eddie in the mid-top tier. Booker/Golddust vs. Storm/Christian Storm and Christian retain because I think the group is going to stay together for a while and the tag belts would be detrimental to any singles push Booker could get, and would basically only be there for a break-up in the team. Taker vs. Test I think Test is going to go over as this feud will probably last until they get rid of the UnAmericans gimmick. If one part of the group loses their match, it's rather worthless to the group as a whole. Kurt Angle vs. Rey Mysterio Jr. Rey needs to win this match as he may be one of the few faces going over. Rey has two months worth of build-up to come in and job in his first pay per view match? That doesn't sound right. Especially after angle insulted all of the cruiserweights, and basically pummeled Kidman to show that he could beat Rey and the only way Kidman could win was by a cheap manner. Unless Angle cheats outright, and it still doesn't make sense why they would job him first thing, the booking here is not going to help anyone. Angle can afford to suffer this loss. Jericho vs. Flair Jericho wins here via submission, but at some point almost falls to the figure four. Next night on RAW they set up for a big announcement for flair but Jericho comes out, mocks him, before Flair comes out, gets his revenge and retires. Everyone wins. Benoit vs. RVD If I were booking this I'd have Benoit win with some kind of unseen move he has to bust out (dragon suplex) between cheating, than have RVD jump as the final change in rosters to chase. More than likely RVD never sees another intercontinental shot and edge goes to feud with Benoit. I'm still hoping that Bischoff creates the US title to make up for this (RVD not winning). HHH vs. HBK Hard match to judge. The obvious answer seems to be HHH defeats HBK as they try to start heel turn v. 2.0, but if HBK has more than a match in him, this might go the other way and plus if they treat this as a send-ff, sentimentally I think they should give the fans another face win. I'll just go with HHH. Brock vs. Rock I think this match can surprise people as Brock's shown shades of being good. Definately a Patterson glue job as you have to make Brock look strong coming out of this. Any other option than Brock winning, especially with Rock leaving in two weeks, will not happen. You invest in this, you see how it pays out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Brian Report post Posted August 24, 2002 Actually, I'm having second thoughts about the whole UnAmericans thing. On one hand, the group doesn't serve a purpose really and the patriotism is tired, but on the other it is two decent guys getting a spotlight and Test in a good but not so high position.

Guest Sassquatch Report post Posted August 25, 2002 EDGE VS. EDDIE GUERRERO Edge. Edge has been getting the God push as of late and Eddy is just another step in the road. Hopefully this win will actually *lead* to somewhere for Edge. UNDERTAKER VS. TEST Undertaker. Taker *might* put over Test in this match. But right now I am going to give the win to UnderNasher RIC FLAIR VS. CHRIS JERICHO Jericho. Unless HHH and Steph stick their dicks into this match and have Jericho lose to the JTTS Flair, then I'd say it's a safe bet that Jericho is taking this one home. KURT ANGLE vs. REY MYSTERIO Kurt Angle. I hate the booking for this match which is just stupid IMO. BOOKER T/GOLDUST vs. STORM/CHRISTIAN The Un-Americans. *Hopefully* after this match Booker will be finally given a serious singles push. RVD VS. CHRIS BENOIT Benoit. But RVD is due for a payback job and he might get it here. This match can go either way. Seeing RVD and Benoit in an IC match today makes me sad. SHAWN MICHAELS VS. TRIPLE H A no-contest after HHH rips his quad and Shawn breaks his back doing some dumbass highspot that he's not able to do anymore. HHH. BROCK LESNAR VS. THE ROCK Brock. For Brock's sake I do hope the title reign works out and isn't a bomb like a lot of people are predicting. But I won't hold my breath. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest gwf0704 Report post Posted August 25, 2002 Edge v Guerrero- Edge since they seem to be trying to push Edge to ME status on Smackdown! Unamericans v Bookdust - Unamericans as Goldust seems like the weak link and I can see Booker dominating but Dust getting pinned. Angle v Misterio- Angle wins it with interference coming from Knoble thus starting Rey's push towards the Cruiserweight title. Test v Taker- Ummm, Taker. RVD v Benoit - Toss up as they need a title on Smackdown and they could play RVD's injury at the hands of the Big Show as a reason for the loss, thus Benoit with a crossface. Flair v Jericho - Jericho with a Lionsault causing Flair to announce his retirement from wrestling on Raw. HHH v HBK - HHH with a win over a fallen Michaels. Rock v Lesnar - I actually think Rock loses the belt on Raw to either HHH or Undertaker as HHH heel champ or Undertaker USA flag bearer seems to make sense, keeps the title off a rookie, and allows Rock to film his movie.

Guest wwF1587 Report post Posted August 25, 2002 Ahh SummerSlam, its already thtat time again. Well here is my predictions if anyone cares Eddie/Edge Winner: Edge, I guess. It will be a good match despite not having much build up. Booker T & Goldust/UnAmericans Winner: umm.. I would like to see bookerdust become tag champs, but I think tonight will be the night of the UnAmericans, just because. Both teams need this pay per view win though. Test/UT Winner: Yeah the obvious choice here is UT. But I think they are going to keep this going for a while... so I will take the chance and say .... Test. Rey Jr./Angle Winner: Ahh this will be good. I dont get SD! so it will be my first time seeing Rey on WWE television. I will say that Rey pulls out the upset. Jericho/Flair Winner: Well no offense to Flair but I am hoping Jericho wins here. After the Vengence loss, Jericho needs this win. It will be a good match, with Jericho cheating to win. Beniot/RVD Winner: Probably one of, if not THE reason to order SummerSlam tonight. If given a good amount of time, this could be the MOTY canidate we have been waiting for. Beniot retains here. HHH/HBK Winner: First off, I cant see how this will be as good as it is being hyped up to be on WWE tv. I mean they are "not sactioning" this match, it is being said to be one of the most brutal matches of all time, and leave a permanent image in our minds. With HBK not being in the ring for 4 years, it cant be that good. Hopefully I get proven wrong. I will say HHH to continue his latest heel run. Then we get to hear how he ended both HBK and Foley's career. (Yah) Rock/Brock Winner: Well I am not impressed in the next big thing that much. To me, this rookie doesnt deserve a shot this soon but oh well. The hype for this match has been good though. I dont think it will be that good of a match but it will be entertaining. The inevitable happens and Brock Lenser becomes your WWE Champion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kahran Ramsus Report post Posted August 25, 2002 Eddy Guerrero vs. Edge Edge is getting the face megapush to counter Brock's. They seem to be building him up to win the Undisputed Title at Wrestlemania. There are enough potential screwjobs in the card, that I think they will do a clean finish here. WINNER: Edge Tag Team Championship: The Un-Americans vs. Booker T & Goldust Test is jobbing big time, so the Un-Americans need to retain some heat. They win here, probably with interference from Test. WINNERS: The Un-Americans Test vs. Undertaker Squasharoo. Test has no chance and the match will be the same horrible crap we got last year with Taker as a face. They should have kept him heel. Let's hope that Kane doesn't return here. The last thing we need is the Brothers of Destruction back together (feuding or teaming). WINNER: Taker Rey Misterio Jr. vs. Kurt Angle Angle seems prime for a mainevent push, and Misterio really has been dominating the feud, being a step ahead of Angle at all times. Angle wins. WINNER: Angle Chris Jericho vs. Ric Flair Jericho hasn't won a PPV match since No Way Out. In a proper world, Jericho destroys Flair, but HHH is always around. I still say Jericho will win, although it won't be as clean as I would like. WINNER: Jericho Intercontinental Championship: Chris Benoit vs. Rob Van Dam Benoit doesn't need the win here, but Smackdown does. Benoit retains, but it could very well be some situation like last month in which we get an ending that doesn't please anybody. WINNER: No Contest HHH vs. HBK: This will be a brawl similar to Taker/Kane, Austin/Rikishi, and Taker/DDP in years past. Either HHH runs off while Shawn's music plays in the ring, or HBK will be riding off in an ambulance or police car. No match, so no winner. WINNER: No Match WWF Championship: The Rock vs. Brock Lesnar The only way Brock doesn't win, is if HHH wins it tomorrow on RAW. I don't think anyone wants to see that. Lesnar is the lesser of two evils here. WINNER: Brock Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted August 25, 2002 Eddy Guerrero vs. Edge Edge is getting the face megapush to counter Brock's. Of course. They want Brock to be the number one heel and Edge to be the number one face. Unfortuanatly, those honors belong to Kurt and RVD. So, in true WWF logic Angle and RVD get jobbed out unmercifully, hoping that it kills their heat and Brock and Edge can move in. WWF: They cater to the fans!

Guest Brian Report post Posted August 25, 2002 I disagree. Fans still see Angle asa number one heel and the jobbing hasn't hurt him at all. The good mic skills have countered that, and pretty much he's made Rey look like a fool, as well as the cruiserweight division, despite having lost that one match three weeks ago.
