Summerslam Lineup

Summerslam airs tonight on PPV (for those of you who may have forgotten), the card:

Rey Mysterio vs Chavo Guerrero
I'm sure this will be a fine match as Rey is awesome and Chavo can be good when working with a Rey Mysterio. The problem lies in the fact that I don't give two shits about the match.

World Championship - Booker T vs Batista
Another bad feud with no substance to it at all. Ideally Booker T wins via screwiness allowing Bid Dave to chase him to No Mercy. Therefore expect Batista to get his belt back.

Randy Orton vs Hulk Hogan
This could have sold the PPV. Instead a terrible build up has made this match very cold indeed. Who wants to see a match based on the fact Hogan 'beat up' fake Hogan. Further lazy booking by WWE. A Hogan win is the only answer here.

ECW Championship - Sabu vs Big Show
Could be really good or dire depending if extreme rules are in play. Expect Big Show to win and have RVD chase him to ECW PPV.

I Quit Match - Mick Foley vs Ric Flair
The BEST thing on this show. This will be great. The build has been really good for this one and is easily the hottest angle on the show. Unlike the Hogan/Orton match neither guy wants to win! Foley think Flair is god and Flair doesn't need the win. Considering both guys have legitamate heat, they're both being really nice about this. I predict a Flair win as he is the babyface.

DX vs The McMahons
What are they feuding about again? Nothing. Cold, cold, cold. DX win.

WWE Championship - Edge vs John Cena
Got hot too late to sell a huge number of PPVs. Edge and Cena are the hottest guys on Raw for the younger market, but they've been pushed behind DX in the pecking order. Should be a solid encounter where Edge needs to screw Cena out of the title, a nice long chase for Cena will sell some future PPVs. However, as we're in Cena's hometown, expect Cena to win and Edge to regain next month under TLC rules.

The PPV is typical of WWE booking, a solid card on paper but going into it the feeling is very lukewarm. In reality, this could be booked as one of the hottest cards of recent times but bad build and some of the time even a lack of build have caused me not to care. When it's over, I'm sure it will have been a good PPV but if I was a casual fan I'd be saving my money.
