1 hour by the look of it - it seems pretty close to the HDnet show in format, although with mostly only 2 matches per show I'd guess they're planning to have more backstage segments.

Yeah I agree, it's sad they don't have enough confidence in anyone to pull the trigger on someone new. I was hoping

The Wrestling Observer newsletter that dream posts? The last one was a few days back, couldn't begin to tell you what page of the thread though, it's moving so fast this month.
*edit, apparently these were put under the wiper of every car during the ROH TV tapings;
Steen is awesome, glad to see this storyline progressing some.

I hope the Nexus does something hardcore like DDT Cena on a chair...no better yet, concrete. Maybe that'll get him off TV for a week at least.

I love that Kurt Angle didn't know who HBK was when he came back

When HBK was in his prime, Angle was winning gold medals at the Olympics. Flair has been around for 4 decades. Angle came in during the whole Rock/Austin era.

OH WRITTEN IN THE STARS!
Bloody Sky Sports using it for Football now, stuck in my head again.
Well WrestleGAF I'm not even bothering tonight, after the brilliant build up to MITB they have completely lost me with this one sadly and have done nothing to warrant me spending £15 on it

Wait... How did we find out Cole and Trish are in WWE '12? Did any of the other unrevealed characters get leaked?

Not bothering myself but mainly because doing so would allow me about 3 hours of sleep. That aside I agree about the rather non existent build up, once again the raw main event is pretty much the only match with a suitable build up and everything else on the card is just kind of there. Even Orton and Christian who have been feuding since April lack any sort of interesting story. I said at the start of this month that modern Summerslam events never live up to the past greats and this years card and build up aren't doing anything to change my opinion, instead they reinforce it. Just don't give Del Rio the title tonight, if they give it to him now I anticipate a Swagger style reign where the fans just don't seem to care.Jeff Albertson said:

Yeah, I already said this last Monday, but there's NO WAY I'm buying tonight's PPV.
You kidding me? A $55-60 (?) PPV that had, what, 4-5 matches announced last week? Yes, of course, the Punk/Cena match will be great, but that's not worth the price of admission.
At least last month had TWO amazing MITB ladder matches and a damn fine World Heavyweight Championship match along with the phenomenal main event. Plus, an insanely hot crowd in Chicago.
What does this PPV have? An alright performance by some hack performer? Puh-leeeze!
I'd honestly like to know who's REALLY spending money tonight. Because I'd bet that 99.9% of you guys are going to lamp it up just like me and everyone else who doesn't want to get ripped off by the WWE.

I bought Money in the Bank but will either lamp Summerslam or ignore it. Can't reward a company for barely devoting any time to a proper build of their purported #2 annual PPV. Especially when both main events seem to be hinting strongly towards screwjob finishes.Ydahs said:
If I support this, they'll think 2-3 weeks of build will be enough for WrestleMania. CM Punk has not given me CHANGE in the one area that desperately needed it... aka Creative. So until that happens the WWE gets none of my money.
Yeah, this card definitely looks like crap, but I'm still going down to the local theater to watch with my cousin.
If anything, the various crowd reactions (usually half-mark/smarkish) will be a nice source of entertainment. Definitely added to the atmosphere for MITB at least.

I don't think I'm buying a WWE PPV until they show they can consistently put on good PPV's.
I don't like feeling that I'm gambling on if it will be entertaining or not.

I've bought every WWE/TNA PPV in the past couple of years, though we're not paying those ridiculous prices over here in Australia (for once).Dork Knight said:Yeah, I already said this last Monday, but there's NO WAY I'm buying tonight's PPV.

And I also, y'know, don't like to pirate something I know I'll enjoy.

I'm working 630pm-630am tonight, so I'm not buying the PPV or lamping it.
Money in the Bank was the first non Wrestlemania/Rumble ppv my group of friends bought in years and the reasons were many of the same ones already listed: great build up for the main event, undercard matches that were going to be good, hot crowd.
PPVs are expensive as hell, especially in HD, and WWE (or TNA or UFC or boxing) need to come strong to get me to part with that kind of money. A thrown together card with no excitement behind it ain't going to do it.

Should be a good ppv. Punk vs Cena should bring it again. It won't have the electricity of the first match, but if they give them another 30 minutes to go out there expect good things. With the number of matches on this ppv they should get 30 minutes too. Orton vs Christian could be good. Not really feeling this feud, but with No Holds Barred I'm hoping they bust out some weapons. Daniel Bryan vs Wade Barrett will hopefully get over 20 minutes. Daniel Bryan needs to go over here by submission. Sheamus vs Mark Henry will hopefully be quick. I'd hope they do the right thing and let Sheamus go over, because I'd like to see a Christian vs Sheamus feud for the title. I'd expect a IC title or US title match and a tag title match thrown in. Depending on how long they want to give the main matches. Also, I expect some dumb ass Hornswaggle and Ceelo Green segments and also Ceelo singing the theme song.

Another prediction:
Cee-Lo warming up backstage: "I see you drivin' 'round town with the girl I love, and I'm like"
Hornswoggle: "(In swogghili) fuck you"

Guys, I have well-placed sources telling me that Daniel Bryan was spotted backstage at Summerslam. Holy shit.
Predictions...on like the 5 matches we know about. -_-
Matches
John Cena vs. CM Punk (with special guest referee Triple H)
CM Punk; but for lulz, let's just say HHH wins.
Christian vs. Randy Orton (No Holds Barred Match)
Orton probably wins. They REALLY need to end this feud.
Sheamus vs. Mark Henry
Sheamus, if only to further the feud. Should be interesting at least.
"YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR PROBLEM IS? YOU TALK TOO MUCH!"
Daniel Bryan vs. Wade Barrett
Eh...could go either way. I'll go with Daniel Bryan.
Kelly Kelly vs. Beth Phoenix
Beth. I'd be disappointed if it didn't happen.
Surprise Match (Let's face it, there has to be one. Right?)
Probably a random IC/US title match.
