WWE SUMMERSLAM

Sunday, August 13th, 2011 from Los Angeles

KOFI KINGSTON, REY MYSTERIO & JOHN MORISSON vs. THE MIZ, R-TRUTH & ALBERTO DEL RIO: So all these guys had no storylines or matches so they threw them together. Kind of lame, right? It was as good as a main event on RAW. **

MARK HENRY vs. SEAMUS: Henry did slam Seamus through the foam guard rail. That was about it for entertainment. *

KELLY KELLY vs. BETH PHOENIX: Not good, although, technically, have you ever seen a good WWE women's match? 1/2*

WADE BARRETT vs. DANIEL BRYAN: A strange match to be on such a big show, although Bryan could be WWE's best wrestler. It was a little too slow and plodding and the crowd was quiet. **

RANDY ORTON vs. CHRISTIAN: Phenomenal match. It was a no holds barred match. Orton RKO'd Christian through the announce table and onto the steel ring steps. Christian also went through a table. Really good, entertaining stuff. By far the feud of the year. ***

CM PUNK vs. JOHN CENA/ ALBERTO DEL RIO vs. CM PUNK: This was good but a bit sloppy and a little too much in the shadow of last month's legendary match. Punk botched the GTS but still won. Kevin Nash came in, power bombed Punk and Alberto came in to cash in his MITB contract and he pinned Punk to win the title. I suppose the Nash stuff made it "special," but it the Alberto win was fairly un-surprising and not at all exciting. **1/2

TNA HARDCORE JUSTICE

Sunday, August 7th, 2011 from Orlando

BRIAN KENDRICK vs. AUSTIN ARIES vs. ALEX SHELLEY: Well, the card sucked and this show turned out awful. Even these three couldn't put on a good match. Kendrick is just an awful bore. There were a lot of mistakes here that just put a sour taste in my match for a long, dull show. *

TARA & MISS TESSMACHER vs. ROSITA & SARITA: Yes, TNA actually put on two women's matches on this show. Did I do something wrong? Because I feel like I'm being punished. 1/2*

THE POPE vs. DEVON: Pope is semi-interesting, but The Dudley's are a mess apart. 1/2*

MICKIE JAMES vs. WINTER: Red mist! Tajiri is smiling somewhere. *

RVD vs. CRIMSON: Not bad. Jerry Lynn tried to give RVD a chair and the ref DQ'd RVD. **

AJ STYLES & KAZARIAN & CHRISTOPHER DANIELS vs. ABYSS & SCOTT STEINER & GUNNER: AJ Styles was on fire (why isn't he the champ, like, forever?) and Daniels went through a table. **

BULLY RAY vs. MR. ANDERSON: Anderson did a Swanton Dive from the top rope. That was about it for entertainment. 1/2*

BEER MONEY vs. MEXICAN AMERICA: Why does the crowd love Beer Money? I guess they're drunk. *

STING vs. KURT ANGLE: Angle is a great wrestler. He also looks sickly thin. I guess he's off steroids. Sting is old. This was basic really, but Angle did use a chair and won the title. If it can't be AJ as champ than Angle's the next best option. **
