I really wanted to watch it but I'm a little disappointed with how the card turned out. There are only three title matches, no tag team title match, the WWE title match is JBL/Undertaker, and for the love of God they are having a fucking Diva dodgeball match on this PPV. Meaning I have to pay fucking dinero for it, and I don't want to do that. I still want to get it b/c I'm hoping Benoit/Orton will be the main event, and I want to see the triple threat and Eddy vs. Angle, but I'm honestly a little underwhelmed in what should be the second best card of the year to Wrestlemania. With PPV's costing the amount they do these days, I think fans deserve better from them.

I buy Wrestlemania every year, and that's it. Pretty sad state of WWE product, considering as recent as a few years ago I'd at least always buy the big 4.
I'll be watching with my brother and a couple of friends from Seattle. I almost always order PPVs and split them with my brother. Really, it takes a lot for me to NOT order a PPV.
I pretty much buy the big four PPVs regardless of, you know, the actual quality, so I know I'll get this one. If I was actually basing it on how it looks on paper as opposed to, you know, the fact that it's Summerslam, I'd probably skip this one.

Well, how about this. If any of you are on the bubble about ordering the show, maybe you should get the wwe.com web-cast, as they have one HELL of a cool deal this month. Aside from the PPV, you get:
Hulk Hogan & Randy Savage v. Andre the Giant & Ted DiBiase (1988) Bret Hart v. Mr. Pefect (1991) Undertaker v. Underfaker (1994) Mankind v. Triple H (1997) Shawn Michaels v. Razor Ramon (1995) Brock Lesnar v. The Rock (2002) Elimination Chamber (2003) The ENTIRE SummerSlam 1992 PPV (which is one hell of a good show)
That's just awesome. If you don't own a lot of these matches, and are wondering whether or not to get the show, this could be a viable option.

Well, at least you're honest :)
I am so tempted to just make a one word post of DITTO! Yet I'm not because I too throw all my hard earned money to the to keep Vince and the product, no matter how lame, alive.
I'm eiather very LOYAL or very STUPID! I figure most of you here will says stupid but that's because I used to post on everything because I had an opinion on everything.
Yet, I believe it was good ol' JR that said it, if wrestling is on at 3am on some obscure cable channel your probably watching it.

I'm on the fence as whether or not to go to my local theatre, or to go see Aliens vs. Predator instead. Like OlFuzzy, I would only be interested in the Big Four PPVs, but this card just isn't doing it for me.
I am going to go ahead and order it. Sad thing is, I used to order EVERY WWF/E PPV they offered. But honestly, I have not ordered a PPV in like 1 maybe 2 years, but I will order this one.
BTW, what ever happened to WWE giving out stuff for ordering PPVS? Remember they used to give out little things like an action figure or something and all you had to do was send in your cable bill showing that you ordered the PPV. When did they stop doing that?

To be honest, I just don't have the extra moolah to buy this by myself. I am interested in it merely for it being Summerslam. I will probably see if any of my friends are ordering it, and only watch it if they are. If I had to order it myself, then it's no sale.
Plus, the only real recourse I have with expressing my displeasure over F'n Bradshaw as the champ of SD is by not giving Vince money during this man's run as champ.
Joe Wilson (looking at Interocitor manual)- Hey, here's something my wife could use in the house... Crow T. Robot- A man? Joe Wilson- An interocitor incorporating an electron sorter. Cal Meechum- Oh, she'd probably gain 20 pounds while it did all the work for her. Tom Servo- Cal, you bitch!
I'm watching, because they've really gotten their shit together in terms of building undercard programs for this one. I think the six-man has potential to be the sleeper match of the night if given some time to develop, and I'm very interested in seeing what Benoit can do with Orton.
Once upon a time in China, some believe, around the year one double-ought three, head priest of the White Lotus Clan, Pai Mei was walking down the road, contemplating whatever it is that a man of Pai Mei's infinite power contemplates - which is another way of saying "who knows" - when a Shaolin monk appeared, traveling in the opposite direction. As the monk and the priest crossed paths, Pai Mei, in a practically unfathomable display of generosity, gave the monk the slightest of nods. The nod was not returned. Now was it the intention of the Shaolin monk to insult Pai Mei or did he just fail to see the generous social gesture? The motives of the monk remain unknown. What is known, are the consequences. The next morning Pai Mei appeared at the Shaolin Temple and demanded of the Temple's head abbot that he offer Pai Mei his neck to repay the insult. The Abbot at first tried to console Pai Mei, only to find Pai Mei was inconsolable. So began the massacre of the Shaolin Temple and all 60 of the monks inside at the fists of the White Lotus. And so began the legend of Pai Mei's five point palm exploding heart technique.
The place is great to go watch PPVs. Good looking woman, beer and chicken wings, that combo makes every match good. Another great thing is the "marks" you can hear some really stupid things being said. I swear someone one said:
"You know who that guy is,right?" (refering to HHH) "That is Lex Lugar from WCW!"
PAM ANDERSON on being named E!'s best blonde: "The carpet don't match the drapes!" "... Just kidding, there is no carpet."

I remember when one of my friends swore to me for WEEKS tha Brock Lesnar was Sid Vicious. I kept trying to explain to him that this is a new guy named Brock Lesnar. But he kept insisting: "No, no... Sid VICIOUS!"
Okay, so I don't have the brightest of friends.

I'll be watching it ... some buds and I are chipping in ... My fiance and I just bought a new house, bought a grill, etc. ... so it's a full day of playing Smackdown: HCTP, throwing the football, grilling out, drinking some brews & watching PPV wrestling ... the weather in Nashville is supposed to be sunny & 80 degrees ...
