Ahh SummerSlam, the annual pay-per view that has more hits than misses than any other pay-per view. Wrestlemania is always a good time to show off new gear and an enormous titantron and at least one amazing match, but almost every Summerslam is jam packed to the teeth with timeless matches……except for Triple H vsEugenefrom 2004, which was such a bad match-up that I actually remember that. Trust me, no Summerslam match-up could be booked worse unless they had Andre the Giant vs. Santino Marella. At the end of the day this Summerslam in my eyes was a big win for the WWE, and a big loss to the Spanish Announce Table, which had its remarkable 1,000th break tonight, congrats guys. More

Just thought I’d put some extra predictions and speculations out there as we head into WWE Money In The Bank tomorrow. Here’s a quick theory about how the match between Randy Orton and Christian could go down, and how Orton could end up actually LOSING the championship tomorrow. Here’s a hint : It’ll be because of one big red pissed-off giant. More below. More

In case you haven’t already heard, CM Punk did the unthinkable last night when he cut what is now the most controversial promo of the decade, and maybe then some. I’ve embedded the video above for you to check out, but be warned that if you’re a wrestling mark, it isn’t pretty. Obviously, many of you realize that this is a work, and an extremely good one at that. The big question is, how much of a work is it, really … and how much of Punk’s shocking rants were actually straight out of his heart? More

Welcome to the second edition of the 10 Count! This is a weekly column that will feature 5 things from Raw and another 5 from Smackdown! that could use improvement. This week will also feature an additional 5 things for WWE Capitol Punishment PPV that aired this past Sunday.

At WWE’s Capitol Punishment PPV, we saw R- Truth getting GOT by Lil’ Jimmy! Raw’s “Power to the People” was overshadowed by CM Punk’s big announcement regarding his contractual status. And Smackdown! was highlighted by Christian trying to receive his umpteenth World Title match against Randy Orton. Let’s start the count! More

2012 will turn out to be a massive year for WWE regardless of how WrestleMania 28 turns out. The event alone will set the benchmark for ‘historic’ matches within the company. On one side you have The Rock making a monumental comeback to face-0ff against the biggest superstar of the current generation, John Cena. But on the other hand, there’s a strong possibility that The Rock’s equal counterpart, Stone Cold Steve Austin, may lace-up his boots for one final round of ass-whoopin in Miami, Fl. If you want to know why I think Stone Cold will have One More Match, gimme’ a Hell Yeah! Or…you could just read more after the jump. More

As you all have probably heard, CM Punk is considering leaving the WWE. Reports say that the reason to this is because he wants commitment to his character, which he isn’t getting. This past week at the Capitol Punishment PPV after defeating Rey Mysterio, Punk stated he would tell us all the truth and had something monumental planned which would be announced on RAW. More
