SummerSlam 2008

1. MVP defeated Jeff Hardy by pinfall

This was a good opener that had some good effort in it. MVP looked a little slow at times, but he continues to improve.

Rating: 2.75

2. Santino Marella and Beth Phoenix defeated Kofi Kingston and Mickie James by pinfall to win the Intercontinental Championship and Womens Championship

This was a fun, Raw-type match. And I mean that in a good way.

Rating: 2

3. Matt Hardy defeated Mark Henry by disqualification

This was insulting to both the fans and the wrestlers involved.

Rating: 0

4. CM Punk defeated JBL by pinfall

Never in a million years would I have expected these two guys to have as good of chemistry as they showed they had in this match. Solid match.

Rating: 3

5. Triple H defeated Great Khali by pinfall

This could have been a lot worse, but also should have been shorter. Not much else to say.

Rating: .75

6. Batista defeated John Cena by pinfall

This was just a fun WWE main event. No other promotion seems to be able to pull off matches like this. Whether you like these guys or not, they put on a good show.

Rating: 4

7. Undertaker defeated Edge by pinfall

***Match of the Night***

This was a brutal match filled with the intensity one would expect in a Hell in a Cell match. Edge is a great performer who never gets old as a heel.

Rating: 4.25

Well, the final two matches were both great. The undercard was all pretty solid, with the exception of the worst booked match of the year (Henry/Hardy). Some people were a little hard on this show, but I think it definitely deserves a look. Good stuff.
