EGAME'S SUMMERSLAM 2006 REVIEW
If it's cool with Shocker and the gang, I'll be doing this with a few of WWE's PPV's from the past couple of years, just to get everyone's thoughts on the pay-per-view.
What did you guys think of SummerSlam 2006?
- CHAVO GUERRERO DEF. REY MYSTERIO
Just your average pay-per-view opener, but it could have been so much better. Mysterio really did look as if he was going through the motions during the match, and really wasn't giving 100%.
**½ - ECW CHAMPIONSHIP - THE BIG SHOW DEF. SABU
A pretty fun match with a few cool spots. Of course it had the granted Sabu botch, but all-in-all I enjoyed watching it. If anything, the finish let the match down.
*** - HULK HOGAN DEF. RANDY ORTON
This match had no real meaning to me. Hogan seemed in extremely poor condition, and Orton really couldn't do much with Hogan. Why Hogan won I simply do not know.
**½ - I QUIT MATCH - RIC FLAIR DEF. MICK FOLEY
I think the match did what it was supposed to do. Both men put their bodies on the line several times throughout the match and the Melina bit was a good touch.
*** - WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP - BATISTA DEF. KING BOOKER VIA DQ
What a horrible match. Total piss break match. Batista botching a powerbomb after the match was cringeful.
** - D-GENERATION X DEF. THE MCMAHONS
A very clustered match. It looked as if it had no real direction throughout, but it panned out to be a decent match in the end. A good way to blow off the feud.
*** - WWE CHAMPIONSHIP - EDGE DEF. JOHN CENA
MOTN by far. The crowd was into it, and it looked like Edge and Cena were into it as well. The match was just a terrific show of the best feud of 2006. It had a great ending and it was just a really solid match from start to finish.
****
OVERALL: ***
