WWE Suspensions Explain SummerSlam, RAW, and Smackdown Spoilers
For those of you who are not the best at connecting dots, I will do it for you. These 14 suspensions explain all the weird and odd match endings at SummerSlam. Here is the list of who was suspended again, and I will do some more explaining.
- Mike "Simon Dean" Bucci
- Gregory Helms
- Edge
- Charlie Haas
- Santino Marella
- William Regal
- King Booker
- Chavo Guerrero
- John Morrison
- Mr. Kennedy
- Randy Orton
- Funkai
- Chris Master
- and Batista
Let's start at the top. The top 3 don't really matter, Simon Dean, Gregory Helms, and Edge, because they are not currently wrestling. While Charlie Haas is somewhat irrelevant, and the Santino, Maria, and Ron Simmons angle was completely worked out of RAW last Monday.
William Regal is a little harder to explain, but he wasn't involved in any feuds so he will slip out nicely. King Booker's angle with Triple H wasn't continued, so he'll slip out easily too.
Now, I don't want to give away to much from the Smackdown Spoilers I read, but I will say Chavo wasn't in the show. So Chavo too, slips out nicely.
John Morrison is by far the toughest to explain. I think the fact that he kept the ECW title means that these suspensions are short. Also, ECW doesn't need him on TV. He could have shot some promos last Tuesday, and they could just air them in these coming weeks. So they don't really need him there.
Mr. Kennedy makes sense too. This may be why he didn't win the IC Championship like many were expecting. Same goes for Randy Orton only with the WWE Title.
Funkai is irrelevant, and so is Chris Masters, for the most part. I will say that from the spoilers I read, his new angle could involve him being gone for a few weeks.
Finally Batista. (Again, trying not to tell to much about Smackdown) All I will say is that the feud with The Great Khali isn't going to continue.
See? Perfect sense.

My Thoughts On SummerSlam
Was it just me, or were the matches getting worse as the night went along? I thought that by far the best match of the night was Kane vs Finlay, which is odd. Why?
Well for starters, Kane vs Finlay was the 1st match of the night. That's not usually where they put the best match. Also, it wasn't hyped as the other matches were. This match was announced just 2 days prior to the biggest party of the summer. I hope they continue this feud down the road.
Also, what was with Mysterio's body paint? It scared me at first. Plus if almost all came off by the end of the match. Not one of Mysterio's best tonight, but nice to see him back.
Continuing with Smackdown... what was with the Smackdown main event? I realize that at this point Khali is incapable of having an epic match, but what the hell? He wasn't even that bad in this match. But a DQ ending? The hell? I'm upset at this one. I really am.
The Diva's Battle Royal wasn't bad, especially for a divas match. I picked Mickie James for this match because it seemed as though she was on the verge of turning heel. Apparently not though, unless she's going to team up with Beth Phoenix. Also, do you think the Divas ever get upset over their entrances? King Booker gets a 3 minute entrance, but all of the walking eye candy has to come out in less then a minute to the same song? Or maybe they don't care. Who knows? They all probably came out to Maria's music because she seems to get the biggest pop of all the Divas right now. Maybe they should consider putting the belt on her? Maybe? Eh.
Last thing I'm going to write about is John Cena vs Randy Orton. This match really seemed like it ended prematurely. So I'm just going to cross my fingers and hope that Randy Orton is injured. He seemed to be limping towards the end of the match after he delivered an RKO on Cena. Cena then immediately gave Cena the FU. So lets just hope Randy Orton is OK.
I lied, I'm going to go on writing for a little bit more here.
Assuming Randy Orton is fine, and wasn't suppose to win the match in the 1st place, what's next for the WWE Championship? Cena's heel turn, and Triple H going for gold. Probably. I can see it happening. If it does happen I hope they go all the way with it. That is I hope they turn Cena 100% heel instead of leaving him as a tweener or whatever he is now. I did write a few weeks ago how I feel Triple H should not get a title shot immediately upon his return, but it seems like that is what we are going to be exposed to here. I guess there are worse things though.
Or maybe I'm pulling this whole Triple H vs Cena thing out of my ass. Maybe Randy Orton will win it in the near future.
UNRELATED NEWS: JEFF HARDY'S PAGE HAS BEEN PUT BACK UP ON THE RAW SUPERSTARS PAGE. SOME ANONYMOUS FAN (WHO APPARENTLY HATES ME) POSTED A COMMENT SAYING IT WAS NEVER DOWN. IT WAS DOWN WHEN THAT POST WAS PUBLISHED.
I love caps.

SummerSlam Predictions
SummerSlam is almost here! Dun dun dun. Expect title changes... I say. This is going to be one of the biggest PPVs of the year. SummerSlam is one of the original 4 annual PPVs from the WWE/F. Expect this to be a good one. Lets hope that I didn't just gave it bad vibes, or something superstitious. Also, in the spirit of friendly competition, I will be competing in a head to head competition with MC. MC is the writer of WWE Characters The Blog! So visit that site. Enjoy the predictions.
Diva Battle Royal:
There is really no way how to pick this one. We've had a lot of Battle Royals it seems, but there OK. This match could lead to the heel turn of Mickie James. It could lead to the heel turn of Candice Michelle. So many possibilities for this. Both Extreme Expose and Cherry will be competing. It will be her 1st match. Possible winners are Mickie James, Maria (she gets a really good pop from the crowd, expect her to get a push in the future), Beth Phoenix, and Michelle McCool. Don't expect it to be anyone else.
My Pick: Mickie James
MC's Pick: Beth Phoenix
Triple H vs King Booker:
Fairly Obvious.
My Pick: Triple H
MC's Pick: Triple H
Rey Mysterio vs Chavo Guerrero
Unlike The Game vs. Booker, there is a chance the returning superstar will NOT win. Still I'm going with the 619.
My Pick: Rey Mysterio
MC's Pick: Rey Mysterio
Kane vs Finlay
This match is taking the place of what should be MVP vs Matt Hardy, which was dropped because the WWE doesn't want to risk anything with MVP's real life heart condition. So not much has built up to this match. To predict this match, I recommend flipping a coin.
My Pick: Finlay
MC's Pick: Kane
IC Title: Umaga (c) vs. Carlito vs. Mr. Kennedy:
This is an interesting match. I can guarantee you Carlito won't win. Also, don't be surprised with a Mr. McMahon interference.
My Pick: Mr. Kennedy
MC's Pick: Mr. Kennedy
ECW Title: John Morrison (c) vs. CM Punk:
I think John Morrison has been doing a good job as champ, and I feel he will continue to be the ECW champion.
My Pick: John Morrison
MC's Pick: John Morrison
World Heavyweight: Khali vs Batista
No clue. At all. If Khali wins, that's no good. If Batista wins, neither is that.
My Pick: Batista
MC's Pick: Khali
WWE Title: Randy Orton vs. John Cena:
This is a gimme for all you predicting out there.
My Pick: Randy Orton
MC's Pick: Randy Orton
Thank you for your time.

Who is Mr. McMahon's Illegitimate Child?
Who is Mr. McMahon's Illegitimate Child?
I am personally shocked to see this storyline. Shocked!!! When I heard of the return of the Mr. McMahon, I was expecting it to be kept simple. I was not even sort of expecting Mr. McMahon to play a part in the story. But them giving him an illegitimate child?! Never would have seen that coming. But I like it.
The only question now is... who is the kid? But I've got a better question. Who's the mother? I'll answer the kid question first, then the mother question 2nd.
There are only really 4 possibilities for this, and 2 of them shouldn't ever happen.
- Mr. Kennedy. We all knew he was going to play a part in the Mr. McMahon death storyline, but since that was dropped (for the most part) this would be a great place to fit him in.
This could eventually lead into Shane McMahon getting jealous of Mr. Kennedy. Even eventually lead to a match at SummerSlam, Survivor Series, or some other PPV. - Another possibility is Triple H. The Game. I bet you this came up in discussion at the WWE, but Stephanie McMahon probably blocked it. This is one of the 2 that shouldn't ever happen.
- The other possibility that shouldn't ever happen, is Mr. McMahon being the father of his own grand-daughter, The Game and Stephanie McMahon's child that is. This one, if discussed, wouldn't have happen due to Stephanie McMahon blocking it. I put this as a possibility because on the McMahon DVD she says she had to block an angle where Mr. McMahon was the father of her child. Then she had to block another where Shane McMahon was the father.
- A 4th possibility is that the child isn't a wrestler. Maybe the child is still a child. This seems improbable because there doesn't seem like there would be much of a storyline to go with that, but just the opposite. The mother of this illegitimate child could be a WWE Diva. Or, the storyline could focus on Vince and Linda. Is this the McMahon divorce storyline we've been waiting for all these years?
As stated earlier, the child's mother could be a WWE Diva. This I think may be good. Especially if they manage to bring back a former diva like Trish Stratus to play the role of the mother. Now, nobody get excited though. I've been on all the WWE gossip sites, and the forums, and from my understanding Trish Stratus got offered her old job back and turned it down. So don't expect this to happen with Trish or any other former Diva. It was just an idea.

Why HHH should not win the WWE Championship
OK. Here's the deal. All of the WWE rumors are saying that Randy Orton is going to win the WWE Championship from John Cena at SummerSlam. I'm OK with that. In fact, I think it should happen. The change needs to be made, because right now John Cena isn't as exciting as he used to be.
Rumors are from there that after HHH beats King Booker at SummerSlam, he's going to go on to beat Randy Orton for the WWE Championship, possibly at Unforgiven?
Wouldn't that be exciting? HHH to become the WWE Champion. Only one problem with that. It's boring, and kind of expected. Even without the help of the internet it's kind of expected.
What I think the WWE should do, is that they should build it up like The Game is going to win this match. Have The Game hit him around with his hammer to build up, and have Randy Orton hold it. Then after that, keep The Game in the title hunt. At all times. Then eventually push a Randy Orton (C) vs. Mr. Kennedy title match for a PPV or something. But at the last minute (not literally last minute...) have The Game do something for Coach like take out a wrestler who has been a pain, or have The Game threaten Coach to get into the title match. Something like that.
So at the last minute it will become a triple threat match. Triple H vs. Randy Orton (C) vs. Mr. Kennedy. I put Mr. Kennedy in this match because he has great microphone skills, and is getting better in the ring every week. Especially Kennedy vs. Lashley. That was great.
So then Triple H can win the title from there. It would be great!
I say this as a fan of wrestling though. From a business standpoint though, it's probably just better to let Triple H build up his speed, and then win the belt. But everyone, even those who don't read wrestling blogs, will have seen it coming.
