WWE Summerslam 2007 Results

Kane vs. Finlay
Hornswoggle and the shillelagh were involved in the match. No Jaime Noble though. Kane won with a chokeslam I believe. I missed the end, but I know that Kane won.
Me: 0/1
Dave: 0/1

Interpromotional Diva Battle Royal. The winner will be the No.1 contender for the WWE Women's Championship.
Michelle McCool v. Kristal Marshall v. Victoria v. Torrie Wilson v. Cherry v. Maryse v. Kelly Kelly v. Brooke v. Layla v. Beth Phoenix v. Mickie James v. Melina v. Jillian Hall v. Maria

When I changed my pick on Saturday I was torn between Michelle McCool and Beth Phoenix as my new pick. I ended up with McCool. I should have picked Beth Phoenix. She won and did so looking great if I do say so myself.
Me: 0/2
Dave: 0/2

Triple Threat match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship
Umaga (c) v. Carlito v. Mr. Kennedy
It looked like Kennedy was actually going to win, but then got laid out by a Samoan Spike. Umaga wins and keeps the title.
Me: 1/3
Dave: 0/3

Rey Mysterio v. Chavo Guerrero

Rey looked horrible. He looked like he took himself off of the 'juice'. He had a bit of a belly and looked significantly less defines than when we last saw him on TV; he looked like he was bloated. During the match he looked to get extremely winded. The camera would occasionally show tight shots on his face and his eyes lloked really 'weepy' as if he was half-asleep and half-crying. He came out with metallic silver tights and mask. The rest of his body, including his face underneath the mask, was painted silver like the woman in Goldfinger was painted gold (a little 007 reference for Dave). The thing was that the paint was uneven and looked streaky and like it had drip marks. He won though. An extremely lackluster return for Rey, but I'm not a huge Rey fan to begin with.
Me: 2/4
Dave: 1/4

ECW Championship
John Morrison (c) v. CM Punk

An okay match. Morrison won.
Me: 2/5
Dave: 2/5

World Heavyweight Championship
The Great Khali (c) v. Batista

One of Khali's better matches. Batista won after Khali hit him with a chair. After the match Batista got some revenge and beat Khali with the chair. It was a win-win situation. I made the right pick and the belt stays off of Batista
Me: 3/6
Dave: 3/6

Triple H v. King Booker

Triple H looked like he was trying too hard to duplicate the aura of when he came back from his first quad injury. It looked a little forced. He looked a little different than he did before he was sidelined. He looked a little slimmer and a little younger. A total contrast to the way that Rey looked. He won the match. After the match he kept doing his signature pose over and over and over. I think that perhaps he didn't get the same earth-shattering ovation that he did after his first comeback and was hoping that posing would get the crowd more into it. Also, as he was walking back up the aisle he was doing something that I can't recall seeing him do ever before - slapping hands with the fans.
Me: 4/7
Dave: 4/7

WWE Championship
John Cena (c) v. Randy Orton

A typical Cena match. And by that I mean that he won. It looked like Orton would pull out the win, but Cena hit an F-U out of nowhere to pick up the victory and keep the WWE Title. This feud will likely continue. Of all of the matches that I got wrong this one was the most surprising.
Me: 4/8
Dave: 5/8

Totals
I got half of the matches correct with a total of 4/8 right while Dave beat me by the slimmest of margins by guessing 5/8 correct. Here I had predicted that all 3 Titles would change hands and as it turns out none of them did

Other Stuff
Stone Cold made and appearance on the show. MVP came out and challenged Matt Hardy to a beer drinking contest. Hardy came out and said that since MVP had a substitue in the boxing match on SNME that he (Hardy) could have a subsitute for the beer drinking contest. Austin then came out and gave MVP a stunner.

Although McMahon's son's indentity wasn't revealed there was a segment backstage where Vince was in his office and Coach brought in someone that Vince thought could shed some light on the bastard child's identity. It was Mae Young. As it turns out she didn't know anything about Vince's son, but instead wanted to have a bastard child with Vince. She then tackled him onto a couch and began to make out with him. After Moolah managed to drag Mae out by the hair (literally) Vince got up in disgust. After complaining about the taste that Mae left in his mouth he then got happy and said something to the effect of "The oldest chickens make the best soup.".

Vince, Teddy Long (whose face would look great on that dolla, dolla bill), Coach, and Regal were back in Vince's office. Cryme Tyme then came in and said something to Vince. I don't recall what they said, but it led into a 'Money, Money, Yeah, Yeah' chant. Then Cryme Tyme, Teddy Long, and Coach kept circleing Vince and Regal while continuing the chant. Vince and Regal then looked confused. JTG put his baseball cap on Regal and after a little hesitation Regal joined in the celebration. He then started doing some strange dance. When he turned around Ron Simmons was there to deliver his signature line, "Shee-it, Bee-itch". Oops, I mean "Damn!".
