I'll tell you what I can't wait for... the eventual Kizarny vs. Boogeyman feud.

Posted
Hogan-Orton and the blowoff to Flair-Foley are fairly big matches I'd say.

 

No they werent...

 

Orton at that time wasnt even close to being as good he is now, on the mic and in the ring. At that point in time he was pretty much considered a huge dissapointment. The Hogan/Orton match was crap as was the build up. No one gave a shit about it.

 

Foley/Flair whole feud was one big dissapointment. It could've been a lot better then what it was.

This. Hogan/Orton was SO HUGE it midcarded. Flair/Foley was SO HUGE it midcarded. The main event was only because it was in Cena's hometown, and he lost. Big deal. Summerslam 2006 was nothing special.

I disagree. He had just gone over Angle and was starting to get heat. The feud was hurt by Hogan's injury, but I think anytime Hogan wrestles, it's a big match.

While the feud was rushed, I really enjoyed it. I loved Foley's heel work in 2006.

Match placement isn't a huge barometre. You also had DX v. The McMahons and Batista's first shot at the belt.

I don't think Batista's "first shot at the belt" was such a big deal, even then. It WAS a bigger PPV than normal, I will definitely give you that, but it could have been called GAB and no one would have known the difference. I will agree that Summerslam has gotten back some of its magic these last few years, at least, and I enjoyed SS2007 and 2008 a lot more, but 2006 was definitely average, unfortunately.

Regarding the earlier discussion of Orton, I've become a huge fan his lately. It's amazing what a simple change of entrance music (his is the best in WWE, IMO), and a few tattoos will do.

 

I've thought Orton was severely underrated by a lot of people for a while now. I understand there was backlash because of how hard he was pushed, but the man is a complete package as far as being a main event level heel.

I always thought Maven shaved his head because he was bald. And he still doesn't know what to do with his eye brows - they we're a pet peeve of mine before and they still are - they always look feminine.

 

I bet Goldust is getting himself into some sort of shape. He should be spending hours on the treadmill. The Original creepy movie quoting Goldust character is one of my all-time favorites. It sounds like he's bring brought back as a mid-card comedy act which is unfortunate. How will he work with Cody Rhodes on the same roster?
