WWE - Summerslam 2008 [DVD]

Jeff Hardy vs MVP 7/10A quick fire opening with strong moves but not enough flying Jeff.Kofi Kingston and Mickie James vs Santino Marella and Beth Pheonix (winner takes Intercontinental and women's championships) 7/10The crowd got behind this one and rightly so as there were some good moves and strong athletisism but like the first over too quickly and with some seriously weird comedy stylingShawn Michael's announcement was interesting as we would hear about his possible retirement but having heard a sentimental one from him at Wrestlemania this year watching this one didn't strike home till the interruption by Jericho.Mark Henry vs Matt Hardy (ECW championship) 4/10Ridiculous. Horrible when you route for one superstar but you can see when a DQ is coming.CM Punk vs JBL (world heavyweight championship) 6.5/10average match that was dominated by the millionaire. Had some strong moments but quite forgettableHHH vs Great Kahli (wwe championship)7/10Interesting to see how Triple H would deal with the 7 footer and all through you wondered how as Kahli completely dominated but there were some great fights from the game with a great endingJohn Cena vs Batista 8/10Back to the days when Batista was a good guy this showed him as a powerhouse with ruthless agresion and the world at his feet and he certainly fought hard agaisnt Cena's quick wit and showbiz style. some very near falls and quick twists made very good match that was never going to be the last.Undertaker vs Edge (hell in a cell) 9/10Good match and having bought this as a blind buy \i had no idea over edge's weird mental state and backstory going into this match, which certainly showcased him early on. Both star's used the cell to their advantage and there were great showings of weapon usgae and finishers all the way throughLast two matches salvage this 2008 pay per view and though i enjoy any wrestling, more hardcore fans may not appreciate the quick finishers and dq's on show here6/10

Most of the WWE SummerSlam pay per views over the last 10 years have been pretty average to say the least. They range from the great (2011 and 2013), okay (2005 and 2012) to the poor (2003, 2004, 2006,2007, 2009 and 2010). However, 2008 marks one of the better SummerSlams, with two great main events which weren't even for championships. John Cena vs. Batista was a surprisingly great match and was probably the best match of the show. Even as a John Cena fan, I wasn't expecting the match to be as good as it turned out to be. Undertaker vs. Edge tends to divide people; I personally thought it was a really good match, but just a step below their Wrestlemania XXIV match.

Very good.

An awesome PPV and a must have for any collector.
