Initial Aftermath of SummerSlam

Before I start my rant about SummerSlam 2011, I have to say that I didn't watch the PPV because I just wasn't able to order it.  With that said, from what I read about the PPV, I kinda wasn't happy with the end results.  Not because they were against my predictions, but the way things played out, it seems like a giant clusterfuck and it seems like WWE is definitely moving backwards.

WWE SummerSlam 2011 Predictions

Summerslam is definitely an interesting PPV to predict. On the one hand, WWE has the momentum running after Money in the Bank with the CM Punk/John Cena angle. On the other hand, we have the idea that WWE might finally say screw the fans again, and run the show how we want. With the trend of CM Punk putting his input backstage on how things should be run (without having the entire power to do so) and the idea that Vince might be finally in the final steps of retiring from the WWE overall (yes, I know that he was storyline fired, but there are rumors that he is done for good after next year). Triple H, even though he is currently just a figure head on TV, is definitely putting his input of the brand and how things should be as well. From what I've read, CM Punk and Triple H are both responsible for the influx of Zack Ryder, Evan Bourne, Daniel Bryan, and other names who I cannot think of at the moment being put on TV more and more. Plus, I read that Triple H is planning on actually rebooting the Tag Team Division with new blood, including that of the Kings of Wrestling from ROH, as well as some tag teams jumping ship from TNA.

But all the creative side of things could be saved for another post. This post is about the current PPV Summerslam. Like I said it was fairly interesting. So, I am going to post accordingly. There will be three points for each match, rather than the normal ramble. There will be How Things Should Happen, How Things Might Happen and Ultimately. In how they should happen, it is just how it sounds. This is how creative should book the match for optimal success (in my opinion of course). How they might happen is if the WWE reverts back to the status quo as Punk put it, this is how the match will probably be booked. Ultimately is my opinion on the aftermath of the storyline and eventually what will happen as a result of the match. Also, it is my last ditch effort to talk myself into believing that the WWE will actually do what should happen.

Also note that two things: 1) CM Punk and Cena almost sound me another PPV. Although, due to financial hardships, I don't think I will order the PPV. That might change. 2) This is a very short card with only two matches that I am really looking forward to and those are the title matches. No IC title match and no US title match. Interesting.

So without further ado, my predictions for WWE SummerSlam 2011:

Social Media vs. Retail Hell: The Reckoning.

This may the most emotional and truthful post I have ever posted.  I am going to do my best to write it within the guidelines I have been given and I will definitely skirt around topics to work for my agenda and mine alone.  But after being in retail for almost half my life, I feel that I need to once again get my feelings about the industry off my chest.  It will be nice release of anger.
