So Summer Slam! The card looks great so far.
Punk vs Lesnar
Bryan vs Cena
Ambrose vs RVD
rest is filler though :/

I'll say the promo between Bryan vs Cena at Raw was pretty slick. I loved how Bryan slapped Cena in the face without actually doing it.

Ambrose vs. RVD?  Oh, wow, I had no idea.  That should be really good.

Bryan had better beat Cena unless there in some kind of interference from Vince.  Still, should be an excellent match.  Cena can be a good performer, provided he has someone in there who can control the match.

Lesnar vs. Punk will probably be a bunch of brawling.  I'm just not excited by Lesnar's work since he came back.

Oh, since most people haven't seen it, here is the excellent PPV match between Gail Kim and Taryn Terrell.  One of the best non-Japan female matches I've seen in years, going back to the Kim vs. Kong matches or the Kim vs. Roxxi ladder match.  The Kim vs. Terrell ladder match that came later is also really good.

Yeah, their promo Monday night was VERY good.  Should be a good match.

I think we're going to be pleasantly surprised with Lesnar vs Punk.

That was always dependent on them giving him the kind of contract he wanted.  Like Sting, he just wasn't going to do the full-time living-on-the-road thing.

It also helps that now the talent in the WWE is better than in the previous few years and a lot of those guys are kind of stiff, which is RVD's style.  It's obviously not Japan by a long shot but a lot of the new guys who have had experience outside the WWE are definitely more physical, which I think has rubbed off on some of the older talent.

Can't wait for Sami Zayn to show up, though I know he won't be able to use a lot of his moves.  That guy is amazing.

El Generico before coming to WWE devepmental.

 Really excellent match on NXT, but I can't seem to embed DailyMotion videos -- http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x10w7gy_06-12-13-antonio-cesaro-vs-sami-zayn_sport

The third match between Zayn and Cesaro was supposed to be completely epic but it hasn't aired yet.

I love NXT.  Solid wrestling, nice setup, overall it's a great show.  I hope execs don't get their hands on it and ruin it.

The snippets of NXT I get to see through the internet have been really good.  It's a shame they have better Divas than RAW.  That Adrian Neville guy is awesome.

I've been watching some of the NJPW G1 Climax matches.  I've grown to absolutely hate Okada.
