We will be enjoying Summerslam this evening on the tube. Midget Mike is already on his way for a pregame show which shall last hours, and feature baseball and old wrestling tapes.
Ill leave the predictions to Cactus James, if he could manage the time, but I am sure I will have much to say afterwards. Oh, and I know I am putting great expectations on the thing, but i believe the Edge / Taker Hell in a Cell may be one of those matches that will always be remembered. It could be an all-time classic.

We did indeed see the show, and it was a good show. Happy I got it, but then again Ill always order the "Big 4" no matter what (Mania, Summerslam, Survivor Series, Royal Rumble)
The Hell in a Cell match was strong, although people are railing over the "lack of blood." The "lets scare the Hell out of Emma' moment came in this match at the end when the fire shot out from under the ring. Fire scares her to begin with, but Hornswoggle lives down there, as I stupidly reminded her at the time.
The ECW thing was a joke. 33 seconds till the DQ, although it was fun to see Atlas taking bumps. Khali and HHH was alright, I grew up watching those clumsy matches with big dopes who could not work. I enjoy those bruising battles. Cena vs Batista was a very good match, with a good clean ending. Punk and JBL was a spirited battle, and Punk won over some critics, as did JBL. Lots of people hate his work. The Jericho / HBK / former Nitro Girl Rebecca angle was hot, like just about everything Jericho and HBK have been involved in recentlly.
Overall I give Summerslam high marks, and I wonder what the future holds for the characters involved.

I thought the card was ok, Cena and Batista without a doubt had the best match. The two title matches were ok. Nothing was really bad, but nothing stood out. So when it's a Big 4 and it just seems like a avg ppv, it's not a telling sign. That said, I'm also not looking foward to title scramble matches at Unforgiven(more on that in the wwe thread), so it wasn't all bad.
