The following is a SummerSlam spoiler, stop reading now if you don’t want to be spoiled for the ECW title match on Sunday.


Right now it looks like Kurt angle will somehow be involved in the ECW title match on Sunday, possibly making the match a three-way dance.

[FPN]

Sweet...Summerslam wouldnt be the same without him on the card.

[FPN]

Edge vs. Cena
Booker vs. Batista
DX vs. McMahons
Hogan vs. Orton
Rey vs. Chavo
Flair vs. Foley
Sabu vs. Show vs. Angle

WOW. Seven matches may seem small for SummerSlam but look at those! All main events. This is going to be an awesome SummerSlam!

[sportznutt]

I still am hopeful RVD will be in that match as well......plus Lashley/Finlay.

[FPN]

That would be sweet. I'm definitely ordering this S-Slam though....the current card has me sold.

[sportznutt]

I might go see this at the movie theatres.....then again, I think I'm going out to a bar that night witrh my cousins.....hopefully it'll be on.

-- Mick Foley has creative control for his match with Ric Flair. That might produce an unintuitive outcome, however, as both Foley and Flair have expressed a desire to lose the match. (That's AWESOME IMO)

-- Big Show will likely retain his title in a short match. There was a rumor of Kurt Angle getting involved in the bout, but no new details have emerged.

-- WWE is not planning to end the DeGeneration X angle at Summerslam.

-- Prior to suffering his knee injury, Hulk Hogan, due to his creative control, was to go over Randy Orton. Although there's been absolutely no confirmation that the planned outcome was changed, some believe Hogan might instead opt to lose by putting over the injury as too hard to overcome.

-- The plan has long been to give Cena the belt back in front of his hometown crowd. But, even if that idea is nixed, note that by the end of his program with Edge (which will go through Unforgiven), he will be WWE Champion again.

What is odd is that since Mick Foley is rumored to have creative control over his match with Ric Flair, and Foley and Flair both want to lose their own match; Are we looking at a No Contest in the end?

[TestSubjekt]

I didn't realize that someone else had creative control in their contract besides Hogan. Well, at least it's Foley and he usually more or less does what's right.

I still question whether Austin does as well.

[Hellwig]

I would say no on Austin because of the incident where he was going to lose to the Coach at Taboo Tuesday.

BTW this card is awesome. Last years card only had 8 matches and 1 of them was Benoit winning in less than 30 seconds. So that really can't be counted. As for Eugene vs Angle was not really a classic either.

[TestSubjekt]

That's a good point on Austin. But why give the clause to Foley and Hogan, but not Stone Cold? And why wouldn't he insist on the clause? Shall I guess he doesn't need it because his feet aren't broken so he can walk out and his truck is always fueled...?

Recent SmackDown ads have been promoting the upcoming September 30th house show from Little Rock, Arkansas which will feature a World Heavyweight title match between Rey Mysterio & King Booker, as well as Mr. Kennedy vs. Batista.

Regarding tonight's SummerSlam match between Rey Mysterio and Chavo Guerrero, Vickie Guerrero is expected to turn heel on Rey, although that's pretty much been telegraphed from the start. She will be Chavo Guerrero's manager and appear with him on SmackDown for a few more weeks. Tonight's match at SummerSlam won't be the blow-off match as the feud is expected to continue until the No Mercy PPV on October 8th. The blow-off match will take place at No Mercy as that is scheduled to be Rey's last date before he takes time off for reconstuctive knee surgery. Rey is expected to be out of action for at least six months. It looks like he will be returning just after WrestleMania.
