The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

This was definitely the best Summerslam I have ever watched FIRST MATCH- DUDLEY BOYS & SPIKE DUDLEY VS. PAUL London, BILLY KIDMAN & REY MYSTERIO IN A 6 MAN TAG TEAM MATCH Great action & a fine opener as well. Both these teams put on a great 6-man wrestling match. Dudley Boys & Spike Dudley get the win after the Dufley Boys nail a 3-D on Billy Kidman for the victory. 5/10 SECOND MATCH- KANE VS. MATT HARDY IN A TILL DEATH DO US A PART MATCH Believe it or not this match was really good, definitely better than there boring match at Vengeance. Kane wins after a Super-Chokeslam off the top rope on Matt Hardy to win & Lita now has to be his wife {LOL}. 5/10 THIRD MATCH- JOHN CENA VS. BOOKER T IN MATCH 1 OF THE BEST OF 5 SERIES FOR THE WWE UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHP This was a very good match, great wrestling action from both of these guys. John Cena wins Match 1 Of The Best Of 5 Series for the United States Title after an F-U on Booker T. 6/10 FOURTH MATCH- EDGE VS. CHRIS JERICHO VS. BATISTA IN A TRIPLE-THREAT MATCH FOR THE WWE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP Not bad, not bad. Off course Chris Jericho & Edge are the ones who made this match good. Batista was just getting beaten up by these guys. Edge retains his IC Title after nailing a Spear on Jericho. 5/10 FIFTH MATCH- KURT ANGLE W/ LUTHER REIGNS VS. EDDIE GUERRERO You can always expect a good match from these guys especially after their match at Wrestlemania XX. Although their match at Wrestlemania XX was better this was still a good match which Kurt Angle won after making Eddie tap out to the Ankle Lock. 5/10 SIXTH MATCH- TRIPLE H W/ RIC FLAIR VS. EUGENE When I watched this match I was really surprised that it was a great match. Of course not the best but really good. Eugene put up a great fight but after getting distracted by Ric Flair & Willam Regal brawling at ringside, he turns around only for HHH to nail the Pedigree on him for the win. 5/10 SEVENTH MATCH- JBL W/ ORLANDO JORDAN VS. UNDERTAKER FOR THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP Wow this match was really good as well. Great effort from both JBL & Undertaker. JBL retains his title after Undertaker got disqualified by the referee for hitting JBL with his own WWE Belt. After the match Undertaker goes berserk & nails a Last Ride on JBL through his limo {Awesome}. 5/10 EIGHT MATCH- DIVA DODGEBALL It's the Raw Search Divas vs. Raw Superstar Divas. Not bad but it's cool to see the Divas getting some fun in the Summerslam PPV event as well. Raw Search Divas get the win. After the game a brawl between Victoria & Trish ensures which leads to all Divas trying to break up the fight. 3/10 NINTH MATCH- RANDY ORTON VS. CHRIS BENOIT FOR THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP This was also a good mainevent match. Great take down & submission holds by both men. In the end Orton nails a RKO out of nowhere to pin Benoit & become the youngest World Champion in the history of the WWE. 6/10 This was the best Summerslam PPV event I have ever watched. It definitely is the third best Smackdown & Raw joint PPV of the year {The other best two are Royal Rumble & Wrestlemania XX}.Overall: I'll give it a 8/10 & a B+

Summerslam has always been a pretty good card. This one had a few weak matches but overall it was a pretty good pay per view.1. Paul London,Billy Kidmen,Rey Mysterio vs the Dudley Boyz and Spike Dudley. This match was a classic example of speed vs Power. It started out pretty boring at first but then when the match began to speed up then it got better. London and Kidman are a overrated team. Mystero is still good to watch. The Dudleys need to add more speed to there matches. They appeared to have put on a few pounds in this match and that wasn't a good thing. Spike proved to be a pretty weak heel. Not the best match on the Summerslam card but not the worst. 4/10 2.Kane vs Matt Hardy. Well this match was kind of slow at first and the fans seemed not to care much that Kane dominated this match. This would be the last WWE pay per view for Matt Hardy following the whole Lita/Edge affair. Hardy put on a good match and Kane seemed to be enjoying being the heel and not the face. I won't tell ya whats gonna happen in the end. I give this match 7/10.3. John Cena vs Booker T. Not a bad match. COuld have been worse. Booker T proved he was the better wrestler in this match but the fans for some reason think Cenas gimmick is what makes him a good wrestler. WRONG. Cena may be good on the mic but take that away people wouldn't cheer the guy. Cena barely came out of this match alive. Still not the best match but not the worse. 6/10.4. Edge vs Y2J vs Batista. Pretty good match. A lot of heat for Edge from the fans. His hometown fans. Anyways Batista looked really slow in this match. It got good when Edge and Y2J got it on. Pretty good match. 5/10.5. Kurt Angle vs Eddie Guerrero. Awesome match. Angle and Guerrero show fans the way a wrestling match should be. Less punching and kicking,more holds and fast paced speed. Angle proved why he is the better wrestler in the WWE today. I give this match a 9/10.6. HHH vs Eugenne. OK match. But it got boring fast and predictable. Anoother HHH victory after getting help from Ric Flair. HHH needs to try to win a match for once by himself.7. Undertaker vs JBL. Not a good match at all. This was the slowest match of all and JBL proved why he can't wrestle. Undertaker had to carry JBL through this match who looked to have also put on more weight. This match got slower at the end and the outcome of this match proved why the WWE writers are getting desperate. this match will never be as good as matches like Kurt Angle vs Chris Beniot Brock Lesner vs Undertaker. 1/10 8. Randy Orton vs Chris Beniot. Pretty good match. Fast paced. There were a few missed spots and it started what was the shortest world title reign ever of Randy Orton. Still it was nice to see a clean match where are no wrestlers interfering. Chris Beniot proved why he was a great champion. 9/10.Good pay per view. Not the best but not the worst

SummerSlam was a pay-per-view that excitement and questions to both RAW & Smackdown Match 1: Spike & Dudley Boyz vs. Rey Mysterio, Billy Kidman & Paul London Mysterio, Kidman & London look good as usual. London is with Shelton Benjamin & RVD on of the best athletes in the WWE. Kidman is great too. The cruiser weight action light up this match. By the way if the Dudleys would lose Spike would lose his cruiser weight title to whoever picked up the pin. But nobody did. First, after Kidman B-K Bombed Spike, Bubba broke up the pin. Then, when Mysterio hit the 619 & Kidman the Shooting Star Press (the coolest move today), D-Von pulled Mysterio out of the ring. Dudleys win after an illegal 3-D.Rating: 4/5 Match 2: Matt Hardy vs. Kane. Til' Death Do Us Part Match.What happened was that Lita was pregnant. And the child wasn't Matt's. It was Kane's... This leads into a match between Matt & Kane, and the winner would marry Lita the next night on RAW. Matt totally dominates the entire match, and after a Twist Of Fate, Kane gets his foot on the bottom rope. Kane then hits a choke slam from the top rope. Incredible choke slam.Rating: 3/5 Match 3: Booker T vs. John Cena.This was the first out of five matches to decide who would be the United States Champion. When Booker turned heel, i knew it wasn't going to work out. And it didn't. He turned heel because he didn't like Smackdown. What the!? Cena picks up the first win in the series.Rating: 1/5 Match 4: Edge vs. Chris Jericho vs. Batista. Intercontinental Championship Triple Threat.The Toronto crowd is weird. I mean, they boo Edge in his own hometown! Anyway, this was like any other Triple Threat Match. Two wrestlers in the ring, while th other one recovers on the outside. A dropkick from Edge takes five years to get up from! Edge retains.Rating: 2/5 Match 5: Kurt Angle vs. Eddie Guerrero.A match featuring both Kurt Angle & Eddie Guerrero has to be great. The match at Wrestlemania XIX was great. The LumberJack Match three weeks after SummerSlam was great. But Angle is a little slower after his neck surgery. Both can do better, but this is great.Rating: 3/5 Match 6: Triple H vs. Eugene.Finally, Triple H isn't in the main event! The Toronto crowd once again makes no sense. They actually boo Eugene and cheer for Triple H! Wow, it really is Bizarro World. Anyway, Eugene hits Triple's Pedigree, but Flair puts his foot on the bottom rope. Triple gives Eugene his first ever pin fall loss in the WWE.Rating: 1/5 Match 7: Diva dodge ball.Get a life! What is this! This isn't wrestling! dodge ball isn't wrestling! I'm sorry, i just can't give this a good rating.Rating: 0/5 Match 8: Undertaker vs. John Bradshaw Layfield. WWE Championship.I like Undertaker and not JBL. But JBL is simply better in this match. He is smarter than the Undertaker, and wrestles better than him the entire match. This match was rather slow, and just like every other JBL match the ref gets knocked out and Orlando Jordan interferes. JBL nails Undertaker with the belt, but Jordan puts the KO:d referees hands down too slow. Taker gets disqualified after the ref saw him hit JBL with the belt. Taker then destroys JBL.Rating: 3/5 Match 9: Chris Benoit vs. Randy Orton. World Heavyweight Championship.Chris Benoit is great. Orton is not. But this match is in the top three matches of 2004. Can't really say so much about this match, just great. Orton wins without Evolution interference. Evolution then destroys Orton after his rematch with Benoit the next night on RAW.Rating: 5/5 Good: The main event and the opener were great.Bad: The Diva dodge ball was so unnecessary/Triple H vs. Eugene/Booker's heel turn SummerSlam Rating: 4/5

I was very fortunate to watch Survivour Series this past Summer and this one PPV. It wasn't a bad show overall. There were some matches no one even cared for and they were matches that definitely was interest to some people. Toronto is a major hot bed for wrestling that's been around for over 50 years and it certainly had it's share of good stars worldwide coming there through the years. The WWE has certainly been a great support of the wrestling scene in Toronto and on this PPV the fans itself made that show even though we have the right to cheer or boo the kind of matches we like and don't like. The JBL & Undertaker match was the worst on the card and everyone in attendance didn't take interest in watching it and to show their protest they did the wave which the camera's didn't bother showing to the crowd. Many reports began complaining that the fans didn't care about the match but as I mentioned we the the fans have the right to boo or cheer on any match we like or don't like.
