WWE SummerSlam 2006

overall a ok PPV edge at the time as the champion was great.the i quit match between flair and mick foley was brutal.the big show and sabu match was eh sabu was always a guy that could never shine outside of hardcore matches which made him unlikable and the big show as the champion was eh....hulk hogan and randy orton was good for the spectacle of it but if you like at it as a match it was crapd generation x vs the mcmahons overbooked and once again the spectacle of it made it watchable but it was trash.chavo and ray was gross to watch cause eddy had just passed away and look if you are gonna use someones death in a story line fine but dont make it some mid card bull crap eddy was one of the grestest then and now and his death should have been treated better.batista and booker t ok match i have never been a batista guy mainly because he is all meat and nothing else he was vary green in the ring and never improved but it was an ok match.the extras on the dvd are ok a few adverts and a recap of edge and cena before and after summerslam over all a good wwe dvd with some ok matches.

In their best PPV outing thus far this year the WWE created a filler free card with three matches that were well above average. There were surprises (though no huge ones) and the matches themselves were solid throughout. Yes, we did have to endure another Hulk Hogan match, and they even let him win, which to me is a crime against humanity. Other than that my complaints are few and far between.The under-card contained two very good matches. The first being Big Show vs. Sabu for the ECW title. I know there were a few missed spots, but I'm going to forgive them because this was a blast to watch. The mixing of Sabu with Big Show is just as interesting as watching Big Show mix with ECW style matches. He's not the ideal opponent for Sabu, but he is a unique one. Just a few years back, when the WWF had to actually compete with ECW, these matches common at every event. Sabu's misery is our pleasure, and I gleaned a lot from this match. Then there is also the "I Quit" match between Mick Foley and Ric Flair. Now here are two wrestlers whose bodies are well past their prime. But their name value and will to compete still thrive. In true hardcore fashion the match makes you cringe and want to look away. And I don't want to hear about how it's all fake either, because we should all be sophisticated enough by now to know that wrestling is predetermined not fake. Of course I am aware that this is no Japanese Death Match, but for WWE in 2006 this is as hardcore as you're going to get. The ending did stick to the "I Quit" formula, because Vince can't bear to have one of his wrestlers look weak. His wrestlers are noble, not weak.Finally, we come to the top of the card. I will skip right over King Booker vs. Batista, only to say that they seemed to be having communication problems, and that the ending was unexpected and brutally disappointing. The showstopper, however, was the DX vs. The McMahon's match. The match of the night proved very successful in a very new school type of booking. It showed that you can have a very good, entertaining match without a whole lot of wrestling. When Vince Russo was preaching more drama less wrestling, this is what he had in mind. It told a story in which caricatures (egotistical boss, uppity employees, brownnosers) all filled their roles, and the twists kept the audience guessing. Vince McMahon should be applauded again for making a fortune by lampooning his own type, greedy maniacal bosses. Nobody really thinks their boss is going to start a Kiss My A** club, but we all believe that secretly nothing would please our bosses more. Plus the homage to Demolition and the Legion of Doom is one of the few ways old time wrestling fans (like me) are paid back for years of loyalty. Lastly, we have Edge vs. John Cena in what was a perfectly fine match. Everything goes by the book, but at least Cena seemed to care tonight. In the end the right guy won, in the right way, even though that surprised me. Just please answer me one question, why did Tazz and Joey Styles even show up? ***3/4

This is one of the Best PPVs of all, very enterteining, great matches, a must have!! A message to Rick Flar n Hulk, !!Please Retire!! Let the new talent grow.

very good ppv

The most recognizable figure in sports entertainment history returned to summerslam to face the legend killer randy orton. Unfortunately, Hogan's ailments were more visible and apparent than ever which downgraded the match to mostly brawling. The match came to a close when hogan kicked out of the rko and eventually hit his patented leg drop for the 1 2 3. In spite of hogan's bad knees, hip, and back, orton and hogan manage to pull off a decent match. Another notable match was edge vs. cena for the wwe title. Not much to say about this one since these two faced each other numerous times on ppv and on raw. Another pretty good match between these two. Edge retains the title. As far as king booker vs. Batista goes, i can sum up my thoughts on this match with a word from Farooq (ron simmons): DAMN! (accompanied by a disgusted look). DX versus the mcmahons was pretty good though. The beginning of the match was lame, however. DX did their part of giving the fans one of the best matches of the ppv. Lastly, Big show vs. sabu basically resembled a watered down wwe hardcore match. The mere presence of hogan at this event combined with the fighting between DX and the mcmahons carried this show. The card was attractive on paper but some of the matches fell short of my expectations. That is why i rate this ppv a 4 out of 5. I welcome your comments. Thanks for reading.

great dvd.

I brought this for my grandson and he really enjoys it. It did not take long to receive this and he has played it every day.

Arrived quickly; way before Christmas. My nephew was very happy with it.

Its a good summerslam, but i am shure others will tell me that there's better summerslams.I fought the McMahon vs DX was pretty good when it all started after both HHH an HBK when up their feets to begin the "real match" after Vince stops throwing some wrestlers to beat up DX early.But the main event between Edge an John Cena, at the end its was really disapointing. But the rest was ok an some good rhytm of the combinaison moves.

Top ppv event. A must for true fans.
