TLW: SummerSlam 2003 Thoughts

Well, hello. It’s Monday, I need a drink and I could do with a shave – it must be the day after a PPV! The PPV in question would be SummerSlam, and as disappointing as my predictions were – I came to terms with my ineptitude a long time ago – the show itself wasn’t too bad. I only wish the same could be said about Heat – 55 minutes of video packages and hype, and then TWO minutes for a Cruiserweight Title match between Rey Mysterio and Shannon Moore? Why even bother? Even Matt Hardy’s victory speech lasted longer… but I digress. Let’s take a look back at last night’s show.

TLW: SummerSlam 2003 Predictions

Well, hello. And welcome to the first post holiday edition of The Live Wire. Is it good to be back? Hello no! I could still be drinking Guinness in Dublin right now! Damn holidays for having to end! Damn them to hell and back! But on a calmer note, I did catch up with most of the wrestling bits and bobs that I missed, and it turns out I didn’t miss much at all. Ho hum. But, with this being the PPV weekend of the month, you know what that means – it’s PREDICTION TIME!!!
