SummerSlam 2004

I think that mercifully, the JBL title reign is gonna come to an end. This JBL-Taker match should be the worst match of the night, and could resemble the Brock-Goldberg match at WMXX. At least the fans will get to see a Taker victory...

Let's break this down: this is pretty much a no.1 contendership match! JBL is definately not going to retain, so they need a heel to battle Taker, and that has to be Angle, not Eddie. This along with the Orton Benoit match will be the match of the night! Also, Eddie won the last confrontation.

This combined with the Angle-Eddie match would make the card on its own. I'm now definately ordering this PPV (I was questioning ordering it after JBL's opponent was announced - Undertaker?! That match will stink!)! However, it is simply too early for Orton to win the title. He will eventually meet Helmsley for the title at WM21, but he will not be winning the title at SS. He just lost the IC Title, so he's not going to move up too quickly. I think that would be rushing Randy way to fast. However, I have had a change of heart. Orton will need some time to develop himself as a champion before WM, and he should take the belt here. Also, if an evolution break is going to happen, Orton is gonna have to beat Benoit first try, whereas HHH couldn't beat him on numerous occasions.

The Eugene gimmick is gettin old. Hopefully he gets hit in the head and becomes normal, or he tells everyone it was just an act. He is a terrific performer, and is wasting his talent with the 3-5 minutes in his matches which are purely dedicated to comedy. Here is evidence HHH is gonna win: where will the Eugene character go from here? Exactly, nowhere.

Matt won the last one, and which outcome will make for better TV? Exactly. Kane is not gonna lose to some over cruserweight. On a side note, I'm definately not voting for that Tracie chick for the diva thing. She was flat as a board when she stripped down. Like 10 year old type development.

He just won the belt last month, and usually new champs will hold the belt for at least 1 PPV. This is just Batista's first title shot, so he won't win it. WWE is completely misusing Y2J. He has fallen down to jobber-level when he should be a contender for the World Title. He is being misused now as Eddie Guerrero and Benoit were at this time last year. Hopefully he will get a push like they did.

This best-of-5 series is just moronic. Why would they not just do a best-of-5 falls at SummerSlam for the title? Also, why not make it triple-threat and put RVD in there? O well, this should still be a good match. To back my prediction, wouldn't they want the eventual winner of the best-of-5 (I think we can all agree it will be Booker) to win the match wrestled on the biggest stage?
