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:

WWE: This Is Getting Interesting

I am fairly certain I said something similar to just what happened last night on Raw.

"However, if a new champion is crowned, CM Punk is still going to lay claim to the championship. He never vacated the title and technically Vince was relieved of his duties before Raw when on air, if you want to follow the storyline. So, if Hunter comes out and says that everything Vince said last week is false, the Punk is still the WWE champion. This could get interesting very quickly."

WWE and the CM Punk Storyline

Look at the last few posts on my blog.  They are all related to CM Punk and his promo somehow.  The reason? Because the promo he shot was the best thing to happen to WWE for a while now.  They brought us back into the company and wanted to find out what was going to happen with his contract and after he left.  Hell, it was the one reason I actually ordered the PPV last week and I never order them anymore.  Not with the internet giving me the same results for free.

WWE Middle Finger to the Fans

I am severely pissed off at the WWE for doing what they did.  Plain and simple, they fucked up.  Immensely, they fucked up and they are going to have to do a lot to fix it.  They dropped the ball completely on this whole angle with Punk and I just hope that how they ended Raw fixes it somehow.

CM Punk wins the WWE Title. What next?

I didn't think wrestling could shock me anymore after the Monday Night Wars, Stone Cold, The Rock, DX, the nWo, Goldberg, etc.  I thought the ultimate swerve in wrestling died when WCW finally died at the beginning of the 2000s.  I guess I was wrong.

WWE Money in the Bank Predictions

I have been a wrestling fan for a long time. Back in the day before digital cable and the onslaught of comcast and verizon, there were such things as black boxes. They were cable scramblers that allowed one to get free cable back in a day where it was possible. Nowadays, Comcast and Verizon make it near impossible for you to do this anymore, so you actually have to purchase a PPV if you want to watch it.

CM Punk: The "Holy Shit He Just Said That?!" Promo

I just finished watching Monday Night Raw from this week.  I get home at 10 on Mondays when I work, so I start watching it late.  With other interruptions, we never finish til about 1am.  But holy shit, did they end in one of the best ways I've seen in a long time.
