There's one reason why they want the belt on Del Rio and that is because they tour his homeland in October. They would rather hand the belt to a busted flush who can't get over - instead of keeping it on the hottest thing going atm, just so they can milk the Mexican market. It's all about the money.

I would love to agree with you, but for whatever reason, WWE sees the world in this guy, and I just have no clue why. In b4 crapstorm of people telling me why I should love del Rio.

Expect either CM Punk or Del Rio to start out RAW tonight. Punk should do a sit-in again...Snow Angels! Snow Angels! Snow Angels!

What a FANTASTIC show by the WWE. Opener was a great surprise. The crowd was way hot into it, we got to see 6 of the best talents the WWE has. Just an all around fun match. Sheamus/Henry was solid. I love the pops Sheamus is getting. He is the best thing going in the WWE next to Punk. As much as I hate count out finishes, this one made sense and will allow the feud to continue easily....without making either look "weak" Bryan/Barrett was the best match of the night. Those 2 literally kicked the crapout of each other. It was awesome. I was surprised to see Barrett win actually. I was so glad Barrett brought back his coat. That really gives him a unique look. He continues to improve and it's amazing that he still can be taken seriously after the bombing of "Nexus" last year. WHC match itself was great, a nice amount of brutality, everything was clean. The finish blew chunks. Seriously ENOUGH OF RANDY ORTON AS CHAMPION. I don't care how loud his pops are. I am deathly sick of seeing him in nothing but main event feuds and constantly winning/losing the championship. and AGAIN its a back and forth match, then he hits the RKO on someone jumping off the rope and it's over. All this entire feud has been is a burial of Christians character & credibility. THIS IS WHY I DID NOT LIKE THE IDEA OF CHRISTIAN AS A HEEL. All it leads to is failure and disappointment. Now he'll get another rematch, wind up losing that and be buried with everyone else under the mountain that is "Randy Orton" For all the hate Cena gets....Orton has been 10x worse over the last 2 years. The main event was epic. Crowd was on fire, the WRESTLING was solid all around. Cena is doing nothing but showing his wrestling ability in EVERY BIG MATCH but yet people still feel the need to chant "you can't wrestle" Seriously, it makes you look foolish when you claim a guy cant wrestle then he breaks out like 8 reversals, armlocks, dropkicks, and all kinds of WRESTLING offense. Punk & Cena could wrestle for 40 hours and I would not get bored. They both work together so perfectly. The ending was shocking, amazing, cool, fun. Just awesome....and it makes you absolutely HAVE to watch RAW tonight to see what the blue hell is going to happen. BRAVO to the WWE for putting on a 5 star show ALL AROUND

Where was JR when we needed him? D; Yeah, I was kind of wondering why he wasn't there tonight and I wonder why Hugo Sovanovich(sp?) wasn't present either. Hugo misses a good amount of PPVs, I always watch the ppvs in spanish. I think the last one he missed was Over the Limit (didn't see capitol punishment, maybe he missed that as well). The cool thing is that the guy who replaces him (don't know his name) is a HEEL commentator, which is pretty cool, considering Hugo and Carlos are faces.

BRAVO to the WWE for putting on a 5 star show ALL AROUND This man speaks the truth and sums it all up, It leaves everyone thinking about Punk/Cena/HHH/Del Rio/Nah and Rey's Title shot. Christian got more cheers then Orton, He deserved the big win. Taking all the bumps, Screw Orton

On another note, I love it when Punk gets new attire - just looks so fresh.

Is it just me, or is Punk the only HUGE loser here? He didn't beat Cena clean. Cena had his foot on the rope, therefore looks strong in the loss because he has a gripe. He got his ass handed to him by a guy who hasn't been on TV in months. Then he lost his title to Del Rio. He lost damn near everything here. At least he should have been allowed to get a CLEAN pin over Cena so he has something to brag about. All in all Punk has nothing while everybody else gains of him Punk is the victim, but that's the point of this whole storyline (from the looks of it): to turn him into an anti-hero face. and he didn't ask for Triple H to count the fall, so he technically didn't cheat either.

I have no problem with what happened to Punk, but what happened to Christian was horrible. Randy Orton is just completely unbearable now. He completely DESTROYED Christian in this feud, just like he DESTROYED CM Punk earlier in the year. 8 matches against Punk/Christian, just 1 loss (by disqualification): ing ridiculous.

I found SS to be ok..however, it came nowhere close to the coolness of "Money in the Bank" and the coolness of CM Punk winning the belt (yep, belt) in his hometown of Chicago. While I really enjoyed every match at MITB, I feel SS was slightly above average, but it's really not the WWE's fault.
Most Punk fans are more hardcore wrestling fans...we know that he isn't the one that is geared toward the demographic of the kids. Yet, we're a big enough draw that the WWE has come to realize that by derailing Punk, they lose the momentim they gained at MITB.
SS saw the only logical conclusion to:
1. Keep Punk's momentum going by having fight his way back up top, against the forces of Nash, Del Rio etc. He didn't turn heel or turn his back on the fans.
2. Cena took his loss like a man, without a stink, despite having a foot on the ropes. He didn't turn heel or turn his back on the fans either and remains the all-around good guy that kids can look up to and fight the good fight, title or no title.
3. HHH did not have to "go corporate" and cost anyone the title. He sold his efforts well and came off as a guy who just wanted to see the right thing happen, with a clear cut winner. His reaction to Del Rio was perfect.It wouldn't make sense to turn HHH into a VKM type at this point.
4. Albert De Rio, the next major heel has finally completed his transformation to Main Event status as the Champ. They couldn't hold off any longer, as he would come off as floundering and now, the build-up is worth it. he has Nash as a potential bodyguard and they can explore all new possibilities while allowing Cena and Punk to gain slow momentum back to the top.
This is what solid wrestling storylines are about.
As for Christian, I don't think Orton needed to win the title back, but that's just me. They've derailed Christian and made an error here.
Sheamus and Henry was awesome..building the story with Sheamus' rise to defeat the monster Henry.
Wade & Bryan gave a solid match and while I really like Wade, I pray this doesn't lead to Bryan losing his MITB to Wade ala Ken Kennedy/Edge.
We needed a tag title match. We needed an IC defense to make Cody strong. Kelly proved she is trying though I felt bad for Beth.
There was no way SS was going to come close to MITB in my eyes, but it was still a decent show with some surprises.

So that's why Justin Gabriel won the World title before they toured South Africa and Yoshi Tatsu won the WWE title before they toured Japan.

Summerslam was decent at best. Barrett/Bryan and Orton/Christian were top notch. Cena/Punk was a let down. I don't get what people are saying because the match was a repeat of last months MITB match except a few minor changes. The crowd was not anywhere near Chicago and was dead for the GTS kickout, which I thought was the most shocking moment of the match. Del Rio cashing in was insanely expected but I was glad to a twist with Nash screwing Punk, because I'm sure everybody thought HHH would be the one to screw Punk over. The show was decent, but the ridiculous foot under the bottom rope ending was just a killer for me. Really just horrible, IMO. Poor way to keep both men strong. Would have rather seen Del Rio cash in and add himself to the match in the final moments, then win.

I don't really see the point of Edge burying Christian on the mic like that, but whatever.
Seeing CM Punk get kicked in the face, put a smile on mine.

I think the main event at MITB was better (mainly because of the awesome crowd in Chicago), but SummerSlam has been the best PPV all around. EVERY match was good. The 6-man tag was somewhat forgettable, but it was still good. EVEN the Diva's match was great! lol. By the way - what did y'all think about Henry/Sheamus? I thought it was highly entertaining.
