Summerslam Results 2006


The Results from the Summerslam PPV are as follows:

Chavo Guerrero def. Rey Mysterio

A bad feud to begin with, the rivalry between Rey Mysterio and Chavo Guerrero that started at The Great American Bash came to a head at Summerslam. The match saw Rey Mysterio pulling off arial moves and sending Chavo to the outside. Both men even used Eddie's signature "Three Amigos" suplexes! Ultimately it was Chavo getting the win when Vicky Guerrero caused Rey to lose his balance from the top rope and fall to the mat.

Big Show (ECW Champion) def. Sabu

After Sabu was denied facing the Big Show in the weeks leading up to Summerslam, he eventually got his chance. Sabu was pulling out all the stops and showed what extreme wrestling is all about. Unfortunately Sabu's hard work was in vain as The Big Show gave Sabu an extremely powerful chokeslam through a table to get the pin over an exhausted Sabu.

Hulk Hogan def. Randy Orton

First things first, I thought this rivalry had great potential and could have been the one moment that would cement Randy Orton's place as an absolute great. The rivalry started back at Saturday Night's Main Event when Brooke Hogan and Randy Orton met each over. Hogan suffered a knee injury in the weeks prior which made him an easy target for the Legend Killer. This was however not the case, although Orton Isolated Hogan's knee, he couldn't stop the force of Hulkamania. With the big boot and leg drop combo a victory wasn't far away for The Hulkster. Hulkamania ran wild on Randy Orton.......Who cares?

Ric Flair def. Mick Foley in an "I Quit Match"

This feud was fuelled by personal hatred for each other with Flair going as far as to call Mick Foley a glorified stuntman. I was actually shocked to see a guy of Ric Flair's age bringing it to a hardcore legend like Mick Foley. The bout was filled with blood, thumbtacks and barbed-wire! Before the match though, Foley seemed unnerved at the intensity that Flair had at attackinf Foley at ECW. When the dust settled it was Foley uttering the words "I Quit" in front of 16 000 fans.

Batista def. King Booker (World Heavyweight Champion) by DQ

A Rivalry that was every bit as personal as it was exciting, Batista and King Booker really gave it their all to entertain the crowd. It was a see-saw battle seeing Booker almost defeating Batista with a scissor's kick, however Batista countered it with a lovely Jackhammer suplex. Needless to say that Queen Sharmell interfered thus causing a disqualification and King Booker retaining the gold.

Degeneration X def. The Mcmahons (Vince and Shane)

Although the Mcmahons brought in reinforcements including: The Big Show, Umaga, The Spirit Squad, Mr. Kennedy and more, DX prevailed in a good showing. At one point Shawn Michaels even gave Shane 'O Mac a Sweet Chin Music in mid air. All in all this was an exciting match with DX reaping the rewards.

Edge (WWE Champion) def. John Cena

Before the match a confident Edge told WWE.com that he was a master tactitian and he would leave the building with the strap around his waist. Although Edge used some brass knuckles to capture the win, it is no doubt that Edge is a great champion. Hey a win is a win. :-)
