BHK 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2004 (edited) SUMMER SIZZLER August 9, 2004 Eugene wants revenge after his mentor, William Regal, was ripped apart by a furious Triple H last week. And he’ll get it tonight: Eugene will team with World Heavyweight Champion Chris Benoit to face Evolution’s Cerebral Assassin and Randy Orton. So close to Toronto’s SummerSlam spectacular, it’ll be interesting to see The Crippler get in the ring with the rising star challenging for his title on Aug. 15. It’s a mix of emotion and talent that makes for one hell of a RAW match. Not to be outdone, two-thirds of SummerSlam’s Intercontinental Championship Triple-Threat Match will square off tonight: Chris Jericho faces Edge in a grudge match brought on by their problems in recent weeks. The animal Batista must be brimming with confidence knowing his two Toronto opponents will soften each other up tonight. There’s one crucial piece missing from SummerSlam’s “Till Death Do Us Part” match — a contract signing to ensure a commitment to the unusual and binding stipulation involving Lita. All three involved will meet on RAW to ink the deal. Will Matt Hardy and Kane save their energy for Aug. 15, or will the contract signing bring more fireworks? Be sure to tune in (9/8 CT, Spike TV) to find out which girl from the 250,000 RAW Diva Search Competition is going home — and surely there will be more interesting things in store for the gorgeous Diva hopefuls. Obviously, I'm expecting the typical hard sell for the PPV. I'm expecting Triple H to get the best of Eugene and Benoit to get the upperhand on Orton and then the "The person to get the last laugh on TV loses on PPV" formula to kick in. I'm also seeing Batista winning the IC title on Sunday, as that will create an interesting dynamic with Orton/Dave as champs and Triple H with no gold. Oh yeah, and the diva search segment. Edit: changed the preview to the updated one on WWE.com Edited August 9, 2004 by BHK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BHK 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2004 Wait, Triple H is gonna job Sunday? It depends. If Orton goes over, then yes, becasue they have to have a way to keep Hunter away from him for a while if they plan on going with Hunter/Randy for Mania XXI. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jester 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2004 A contract signing? I bet the participants will come out, promptly sign the contract, shake hands, and then return to their dressing rooms in an orderly fashion. Or perhaps someone will get beaten down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2004 DQ for the non-IC title match...Orton pins Benoit (again?) in the ME are my quick predictions.
