Gettin' Open-with EdDaDrama

Today we get open on the PPV itself. We know who won and who lost, but since I watched the PPV we'll take a closer look at things plus you'll get a rating for each match and the PPV itself.

About the IC title match...
Dolph Ziggler vs Kofi Kingston being stopped by NXT foiled what would've been a really good match. SUMMERSLAM is known for IC title changes, but more importantly, it's known for really good IC title matches. This match was good before it got cut. I GIVE THIS MATCH ........
2 OUT OF 5.

About the Diva's Championship...Alicia Fox got schooled from the start, and barely put up a decent match vs Melina. Too bad. I've seen better from Alicia. She picked the wrong night to botch things up. Glad Melina is champ.............
2 OUT OF 5.

About the Miz... It's not everyday that you could watch a PPV and have a talk or interview segment as a major highlight...especially if nobody starts a fight in the talk segment. But the MIZ is an exception to that rule. The Miz was out there for a good 5 mins. talkin' about whether or not he would join team WWE vs the Nexus. And in a "Lebron James" kind of way, he finally announced that he would in fact join. The fan went crazy. Who knew that this heel could turn so many heads? I can't believe this but........this talk segment gets 5 OUT OF 5!

Big Show vs SES...Nothin' fancy here, but quite an entertaining match. Seems to me that the SES is loosin' some steam..but that's a different story. 3 OUT OF 5.

The World Heavyweight Championship...
For me, this was the match of the night.
Rey tried to keep this a competitive match, but Kane was way too much on this night. Very entertaining match, with a return of the Undertaker at the end....and Kane whooped his ass too. 4 OUT OF 5.

The WWE Championship...Not that I'm surprised about what happened, but when you consider that on paper, THIS could've been the match of the night...this match fell a bit short of that. An overall very decent match that felt more like A MAIN EVEN MATCH AT A MONDAY NIGHT RAW, than a title match at Summerslam.
This match gets 3 OUT OF 5.

Team WWE vs Nexus...For a match that WWE forced on us to make us believe that IT was the MAIN EVENT....the match itself did at least meet my expectations. The return of NXT rookie Daniel Bryan was well received. I'm not sold on NXT as a group, but they did provide a worthy match. This reminded me of the WCW/ECW alliance vs Team WWE from back in the day.
4 OUT OF 5.

WHAT WAS MISSIN' FROM SUMMERSLAM...was The Miz in a match....of any sort. Not only did he NOT compete in the match vs Nexus, but he also didn't cash in his MONEY IN THE BANK contract to beat Sheamus...even after Orton laid the jar of Mayo out cold. Oh yeah....the Miz is the US champion...but we didn't get to see him defend that title either.

SummerSlam was good, but not worthy of the BIG PPV status that it has along with Wrestlemania, Royal Rumble, and Survivor Series. This ppv gets a 3 OUT OF 5.
