Ok... you're getting me excited about wrestling again....
Comments:
1. Hulk Hogan is back?!?! I'm in Brother! I'm a Hulkamanic!
2. Who is John Cena?
3. How old is Ric Flair? Dude must be at least 55-60....

Quick answers...
1. He's sort of back. They have him signed to a deal where they can call him up, see if he likes a storyline, and if he does...he comes and works it. He has total control over who wins the match, though.
Also, he "injured" his knee this weekend (or was it yesterday?) so his match at Summerslam is "in jeopardy".
2. John Cena is a hot topic in wrestling. A few years ago, he came in as a heel with a rapping gimmick. After a while, he got over HUGE and they turned him face, pushed him, and gave him the WWE Title. Since then, many smarks have turned against him and have been calling for his head...mainly because he's been pushed down our throats for quite a while and say that he doesn't have the in-ring skills that are deserved of this push.
Remember when The Rock was Rocky Maivia? Well, it's kind of like that...only worse since they aren't doing anything about it but pushing him more and more. But then again, they might have done that with Rocky if he hadn't gotten hurt. Who knows?
3. Ric Flair IS pretty old. 57, I believe. But he can still get it done most of the time.

In case you didn't know...Flyin Brian passed away. WWE is coming out with a DVD this year for the Loose Cannon.
I think there's a thread on the 'other board' with a youtube thread that includes a couple of promos from Ludvig Borga. He's a favourite of mine too, because I'm half-Finnish.

Oh, so that is why Rocky got all that heat from the crowd when he first started out. I was wondering where the "DIE ROCKY DIE" chants came from. And his wussy shoulder breaker finisher probably didn't help either.
Broadwayjoe you got good taste in liking Pillman but the skills and gimmicks of the others are questionable.

The were so bad they were good.....
Bastion Booger's finishing move was basically farting in someone's face.... how can you not like that!
I don't remember ever seeing Pillman win a match without cheating. Usually came to the ring in crutches which he later nailed someone with... haha! Classic.
You know.... I also liked the Honkey Tonk Man. Classic stuff. Every week he'd come out and promise to sing a song... and then back out at the last minute. I'm laughing right now!
I admit I know little about wrestling and to be honest, I like the stuff that makes me laugh. I could care less about the whole athleticism part.

Ludvig Borga was great... that dude to just mowed people down when they brought him in. My favorite was the time he beat the up Tatanka. |

Fun fact: This will be the 19th edition of Summerslam. The first one in 1988 was headlined by Hogan, Savage, Andre the Giant, and Ted Dibiase. The 19th one will also be headlined by Hogan (unless his injury forces him out). Amazing that nineteen years have gone by and the company is still counting on Hulk Hogan (on one leg) to pull a big buyrate.
Seems like a pretty good card. The WWE always seems to come through with WrestleMania and Summerslam. The rest of the shows are blah.

Lashley should be involved in a match for the US Belt sometime soon, as well as Taker/Khali and maybe Chavo/Rey.

Very good card. For the first time ever you can say that every single match is a main event match.

Batista claims that he's an uncrowned champion and will defeat King Booker at SummerSlam to regain the gold. - LinkBefore Edge and John Cena face off on Aug. 20, take an in depth look at their SummerSlam histories. - Link

I can't see Batsiita winning until Survivor Series. Cena could win now, but should probably wait until Unforgiven.

Batista should definitely not win. Booker is our first heel champ on SD since WM 21.

That would also leave King Booker with a one month title reign.

Which should be illegal!!!

If Edge loses, it'll be about a 2 month reign, won't it?

I hope Hogan vs Orton is NOT the main event. THat'll be two consecutive years that Hogan will be in the main event at Summerslam.....his only two matches in the past 370 days or so.

JR said on Raw
"and RAW's main event, THE main event... Cena vs Edge"
so no worries.
