It's kind of a downer for me seeing what SummerSlam is now compared to what it was a decade ago i.e in 1998,99,00,01,02 ect.
I think some of you guys are too easily pleased. SummerSlam was one of the most important dates of the year for wrestling, with a stacked card every year. iShawn Michaels/Triple H, The Rock/Triple H ladder Match, TLC from 2000, Mysterio/Kurt Angle ect.
Too me it was a one match show this year with Cena vs Pun. Orton/Christian wasn't bad, but I think the original match from SmackDown! earlier in the year was better.
Nash matches where awful in 97 ect. I'm confused what someone think Punk could get out of a Nash match in 2011.
A similar argument coul be made for some of the other Summerslams you mentioned, a lot of PPVs get built around one or two key matches. 1999: Austin/HHH/Mankind. 2000: Rock/HHH/Angle and TLC. 2001: Austin/Angle and Booker T/Rock. 2002: Rock/Lesnar, HHH/Michaels and so on.
I think it's easy to look back to ten years ago and think everything was fantastic and while that period was no doubt great, the PPVs back then still had forgettable filler on them too.
