Previewing Summerslam 2006

"The Biggest Party of The Summer" indeed. This year's Summerslam is gonna have all the ingredients for history in the making, and is definitely the most anticipated WWE Pay-Per-View since Wrestlemania 22 in April. It's tough to pick which of the matches will actually be the main event! In any sense let's break down the matches.

- ECW Championship Match- Big Show vs. Sabu. After his win last night in a ladder match to face the Big Show, Sabu finally get his wish as the suicidal, homicidal, genocidal death-defying Sabu put his aerial assasin act against Paul Heyman's hand-chosen champion The Big Show. If this match is under extreme rules alot of things could happen. For one, you can almost guarantee that Kurt Angle, who was left out of last night's ladder match, will be involved in some way. Also, I wouldn't put it past Heyman to get his "bodyguards" involved. Don't be surprised to Rob Van Dam show up either. In any sense, this one is filled with uncertainty.

- Smackdown! World Heavyweight Championship Match- King Booker vs. Batista. Please note that I use Booker T's self proclaimed king title very loosely. I like Batista in this one for a couple of reasons. For one, he's hungry. Batista was injured by Mark Henry in January and missed six months with a torn tricep, thus having to relinquish his title due to injury- so he NEVER lost it. Booker T became champion only because Chavo Guerrero double crossed Rey Mysterio at the Great American Bash. Batista's tear lately has been so brutal, you have to think that the man is about to snap. After destroying Mark Henry and Mr. Kennedy, you have to think that Booker T hasn't felt rath that's been stirring up inside the animal. Also, there's the x factor- The Boogeyman is back from injury and hasn't been seen since his match with Booker at Wrestelmania, and according to the Boogeyman he's "comin to get cha".

- RAW WWE Championship Match- Edge vs. John Cena. To me, will probably be the best match because of the special stipulation that Edge can lose the title via disqualification. In their recent matchups, Edge has been getting DQ'd on purpose so that he wouldn't lose the title to Cena. Forcing Edge to fight now, I think this match could be a good one, because I hate to admit it, but Edge is one hell of a wrestler. However, his recent home invasion of John Cena and the way John Cena has lost the title twice now is gonna make the Chain Gang Soldier a very dangerous man come Sunday night. So, I have a feeling that the CHAAAAAAAAAAMP will be BACK!

- Degeneration X vs. The McMahons- Unless the McMahons have a death wish, they have something up their sleeve. I really think Umaga or the Spirit Squad could get involved with this one. However, DX is without a doubt the most dangerous tag team in the history of the WWE, and after ther 5 on 2 handicap match win at the last Saturday Night's Main Event, I don't think there's any stopping the Cerebral Assasin and the Heartbreak Kid.

- Rey Mysterio vs. Chavo Guerrero- In a personal battle that has a storyline I'm not real fond of, these two former best friends fight in the name of the late Eddie Guerrero. Rey definitely has the edge, recently being World Champion and with Chavo coming out of retirement to fight this match. However, I have a feeling that Vicky Guerrero will get involved, thus settling this feud after just one fight.

- Ric Flair vs. Mick Foley "I Quit" Match- No it's not a misprint, Flair is still wrestling. After these two guys who genuinely hate each other dogged each other in their books, this could go down as the bloodiest match in WWE history. Flair's attack on Foley last night on ECW was just a prelude to a bloodbath that will occur in Boston. This one could be really really long. However, after the stunts Foley has pulled lately, there's no telling what's gonna happen in this one. I really think that Flair is determined to attone for his embarassing attack on him after his match with Foley at this year's Vengeance, so buckle your seatbelts for this one.

- Hulk Hogan vs. Randy Orton- In the "Legend vs. Legend Killer" match, Orton has opened his mouth once again and probably bitten off more than he can chew. Ever since attacking Hogan at Saturday Night's Main Event, Orton has continued to badmouth the legend and his family, eventhough the Undertaker kicked his ass in a Hell in a Cell match at Armageddon, Orton still wants to run his fat ass mouth so it can get punched in by the Hulkster. Hogan has a legit knee injury and could be hampered somewhat by that, but all the Hulkamaniacs of the Boston Banknorth Garden are gonna will the Hulkster to victory. So I've got one question- Randy, what you gonna do brother when Hulkamania comes and runs all over YOU!?

Stay tuned Friday night to Smackdown! Because I think Teddy Long could add a match involving the Great Khali and the Undertaker, but that will probably be the only match added to an already star-studded card.
