Guest Askewniverse Report post Posted July 18, 2003 Booker T's probably screwed no matter who he faces at SummerSlam, since it's the PPV where the IC title almost always changes hands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest wrestlingbs Report post Posted July 18, 2003 Triple H vs. Goldberg - World Heavyweight Title Match Booker T vs. Randy Orton - WWE Intercontinental Title Match La Resistance vs. The Dudley Boyz - World Tag Team Titles Match Steve Austin vs. Eric Bischoff - Uncensored Debate triple H vs. G-berg doesn't look like it will happen, since everything is working against it (injuries, popularity, storyline, HHH) God Raw's tag team division not only sucks, it DOESN'T EXIST! only two tag teams? What happened to the Hurricane? Is he not stale enough? Eh, Orton has improved. At least he's not in HHH's shadow. Debate? Look's like we have another Redneck Triathlon to look forward to. And the first one worked so well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest jester Report post Posted July 18, 2003 Let's see. Orton is getting the big push despite being so forgettable that other wrestlers sometimes accidentally hang their coats on him. Booker is black, an ex-WCW guy, and has never got a decisive win over anybody in the cliqueweight division. Yep, I'd say that belt is going to Orton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest humongous2002 Report post Posted July 18, 2003 WWE is trying their best to push that no talent Orton down out throats, personally i don't see shit on this kid but the more they'll push him eventually the wwe sheeps will start adoring him. Austin in a debate??Why not give RVD a match at Summerslam?? I buy ppvs to watch wrestling instead of has beens taking the spotlight from other wrestlers.

Guest FeArHaVoC Report post Posted July 18, 2003 They should have some title changes on house shows. It would bring more excitment to the shows and more people would attend them if there was a chance of seeing a new champion. I wouldn't think it would cost Vince that much to have one or two camera men go down to ring side and record the match so they can explain and show the title change on TV.

I wouldn't think it would cost Vince that much to have one or two camera men go down to ring side and record the match so they can explain and show the title change on TV. Not only that, but it would add the realm of "realism". I mean, sure, we all know its scripted, they tell everyone its scripted, but they always say "Anything can happen in the WWE" but it is more unpredictable if titles don't change unless it is on TV. Maybe a ratings boost or whatnot will happen, but the "anything can happen at any moment" always gains some interest somewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Your Olympic Hero Report post Posted July 18, 2003 Orton will win the IC title as HHH retains the World title.. making the Horse... I mean Evolution, look like a badass heel stable for having both singles belts. Don't be surrprised to see Flair team up with the fourth guy, whoever that ends up being, and taking the tag belts.

Interesting shit, thanks. I agree, the WWE should definitely have a title change or two at house shows. I think it would definitely boost attendence a bit.

Guest Mulatto Heat Report post Posted July 19, 2003 Well, I'm not going to say anything about the IC Title (because it's a belt on RAW) aside from Booker, and the title, can only dodge the 'I'm a good-looking third-generation wrestler with great abs' bullet for so long. I think we all knew that. But I found this interesting: Well the SD House Show on the Saturday after SummerSlam is promoting Brock vs. Taker vs. Show for the World Title. This indicates two things - first, that Angle is not likely winning at Vengeance (but then again him looking very very strong on SD was another indicator), and second, that Cena is not looking like he will win either - because how can Taker even be in a position to challenge for the title if he loses to Cena?

Guest Mulatto Heat Report post Posted July 19, 2003 So they'd promote a match that they intend to not have from the start and thus pull a swerve for the ticket-paying customers? I don't even need to say it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
