NYU 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2003 My god, what a shitty SummerSlam this seems to be turning into. Triple H vs. Goldberg - Scientific Battle for the Ages ! Just like HHH vs. Nash.....only HHH won't sell nearly as good. Brock vs. Vince - If we're to believe the rumors. If not, Brock vs. Angle is FINALLY a good match. La Resistance vs. The Dudleyz - The champs nobody cares about against the team nobody's cared about in years. Shawn Michaels vs. Randy Orton - We're wasting a perfectly good HBK match for Suckbag, who isn't worth it and hasn't put on a good match YET ! And now....possibly Shane McMahon vs. Kane. Look at this friggin card. Second-top PPV of the year, my ass. I hope this card gets some major changes because, right now, it won't even come CLOSE to touching SummerSlam 2002.

Guest CanadianChick Report post Posted July 23, 2003 Um, where does this leave RVD if Shane does, in fact, wrestle Kane? Does he just face Jericho because neither have nothing to do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Askewniverse Report post Posted July 23, 2003 Um, where does this leave RVD if Shane does, in fact, wrestle Kane? Does he just face Jericho because neither have nothing to do? Probably. Either that, or he'll be stuck on Heat wrestling Lance Storm or Rodney Mack. Worst case scenario, they'll just leave him off the card, but even the WWE isn't stupid enough to do that again. At least, I hope not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest GameCop Report post Posted July 23, 2003 I could see a RVD vs. Y2J vs. Booker T match for the IC title at SSlam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CanadianChick Report post Posted July 23, 2003 I could see a RVD vs. Y2J vs. Booker T match for the IC title at SSlam. I guess, but why would RVD go back to IC when he just almost won the World Title (even JR was shilling that Rob should have been champ but wasn't because of Evolution)? Or why would Y2J go back to IC after pinning Micheals. Unless they are trying to make the title a competetive title, then it's understandable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest GameCop Report post Posted July 23, 2003 Booker T should've won the title at WM XIX, but now he must settle for the IC title. In the past, when the writing wasn't as shoddy, the IC title was used as a stepping stone en route to the World Wrestling Federation Championship. Nowadays, however, many wrestlers are regressing from the world title scene back down to the IC title scene or even lower... I suppose when the writing team has nothing else for a wrestler to do, or flat out refuses to launch a wrestler into the upper echelon -- like RVD -- we can expect the incessant relegation that deserving wrestlers have to endure.

Guest Coffey Report post Posted July 23, 2003 La Resistance vs. The Dudleyz - The champs nobody cares about against the team nobody's cared about in years The Dudleyz need to just come out during a random mixed tag team match. Like Steven Richards and Victoria Vs. Trish Stratus & Val Venis. Then, have the Dudleyz grab Steven Richards and throw him over the top rope. Victoria would run from them. Then have the Dudleyz 3D Trish and put Val through a table. Then they grab the mic and cut a promo. Turn the Dudleyz into heels like they were in ECW. They go after heels and faces. Not just other tag teams...but anyone at anytime. It doesn't matter whom the Dudleyz are against, it should be booked that if 3D connects, the match is over. Bubba is real good at getting heel heat. At least he was in ECW. When the Dudleyz were heel in WWE, they returned the stuttering gimmick and gave the Dudleyz two-by-fours. WTF?! The Dudleyz could be close to the top heels on RAW. At least then they wouldn't be so stale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MarvinisaLunatic Report post Posted July 23, 2003 It would be kinda cool if Kane just started taking out McMahons.. Linda...Shane..Stephanie (At Summerslam since both rosters in same arena) and Vince.. GO KANE! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2003 I don't know why nobody gets it, but Kane's not facing RVD or Shane at Summerslam, he's facing AUSTIN. They didn't build up Kane and RVD's breakup at all, they built up him getting motivated by Austin, turning heel on Austin, and then almost getting Austin fired with his reckless actions. Then, Linda comes to Raw to grant a special injunction that Austin can't touch Kane. As for Shane, I don't see anything wrong with him coming to Raw to build a mini-program with Kane. The storyline's great, and they need to feed Kane faces anyway. Would it be better to bury people on the active roster, or would it be better to give Kane a non-wrestler who's immensely over who just happens to be a human bump machine. One more thing, if you really believe that Summerslam is gonna be headlined by Brock vs. Vince, you're a f*cking moron. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted July 24, 2003 ^ It won't be headlined but it's happening. The only question that lingers is if it will be for the title. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Nanks Report post Posted July 24, 2003 iggy makes a very valid point about it being better to feed Kane an extremely over, face, bump machine who can afford to look weak. Shane is really pretty good at making his opponents look good. It's no good risking someone worthwhile when Shane normally seems happy to kill himself to put over others. Look at KOTR '01. The bastard is mad as a cut snake. You can't deny that was a good match, and it wouldn't have been as good with a random mid-carder jobbing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted July 24, 2003 I wouldn't say it was *good* match but I would say it was an Sick and mindlessly entertaining brawl that only served to statisfy my sick crave for watching others suffer brutality for my pleasure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Lightning Flik Report post Posted July 24, 2003 I can see why Shane is about to be feed to Kane (we all know this will happen), but what insane bump will Shane take for Kane? I mean last time we saw Shane, he was doing a Van Terminator on his dad and getting suplexed through glass panes by Kurt Angle (wow, I really don't remember the last time he was here in a wrestling capacity). Just what stunt will he pull out of his sleeve this time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted July 24, 2003 I support them having a Roof top brawl and having Kane throw him off and let Shane SPLATTER on the ground in bloody glory. Speaking of which...How come no Hardcore/Street Fight ever reached the roof? Instead of the parking lot/garage/Boiler Room... Let's have a Brawl go to the roof.

Guest Prototype450 Report post Posted July 24, 2003 If Kane is taking out mcmahons, is he gonna take a ride down to Texas and throw Rod McMahon into a vat of hot oil? Ahh sorry go back to the serious discussion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest CanadianChick Report post Posted July 24, 2003 To the guy who says it will be Austin/Kane at SS: Normally, I would agree with your logic. But Austin's neck is really screwed up. I don't think he can wrestle. And if he could, I don't think that wrestling Kane would be what WWE would want to do. It probably wouldn't be safe for Austin if he was thrown around like a ragdoll, which he would be in a match versus a monster like Kane. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
