What If? Summerslam 2005

[darthobiwan]

Which 3 matches change for Summerslam 2005?

Does OJ keep the US belt away from Crippler?

Does Matt get revenge against Edge (and Lita)?

Does Eddie get 1 over Rey (and has Dominik be his boy)?

Does Eugene get to keep Kurt's medals?

Does Undertaker go 2-0 in his series against Orton?

Does Jericho end Cenas reign early AND get 1 more wwe title reign?

Does JBL get 1 WHC reign (AND end Batista reign early)?

Does Shawn stop Hulks show?

I will also mention, since this was first year that Money in the Bank was in play, after title matches are decided we will have another poll with for this year if Edge cashes in on one of the champions, if he is successful or not, or holds onto it for another night.

Lots of good choices this year.

Matt, Eddie and Shawm Michaels

We are LIVE from the USA capital of Washington DC for the 18th edition of Summerslam! There will be 8 matches tonight, with at least 3 title matches and an Icon vs Legend main event!

Opening match is for US title, as Orlando Jordan defends against Chris Benoit. OJ is no match for the Crippler here as he taps out to crossface in 25 seconds and Benoit wins US title!

*Second match is a real life rivalry with Matt Hardy vs Edge, and Lita being in the corner for Edge. They trade hard fists and the fight spills to outside the ring. When Edge distracts the referee, Lita jumps off apron to do a hurricana onto her former lover Matt. When Matt gets back into the ring, Edge attempts a spear but Mstt moves out of the way and Edge ramps shoulder first into steel post. Matt then delivers a twist of fate and pins Edge! Matt Hardy beats Edge!!!
After the match, Matt grabs a chair and slams it several times into Edge's shoulder. Lita is begging Matt to stop and referees come out to pull Matt away from Edge. Matt leave ring to huge pop while Edge is assisted to the back by Lita.

*Third match is a ladder with the unique situation of the winner getting the briefcase gets custody of young Domink. Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero are the 2 combatants. They fight hard for over 15 minutes, with each using flying maneuvers to battle the attack, with the ladder coming into play several times. At one point it appears that Rey is about to climbs the ladder to reclaim his son, as Eddie gets knocked to the outside of the ring. However, just as Rey is about halfway up the ladder, Domink runs into the ring to "cheer his dad on"... however Domink shockingly grabs Rey's foot and pulls his dad down! Rey looks at Domink confused like "hey I'm trying to bring you home", then Eddie jumps back into the ring with a chair and attacks Rey with it twice. Rey is laid out as Eddie goes to top rope and lands a frogsplash onto Rey, then Domink smiles and hugs Eddie! Eddie then climbs the ladder and grabs the briefcase! Eddie Guerrero wins AND gets custody of Domink!!!
After the match Rey is distraught as Domink willingly walks to the back with Eddie!

*Fourth match is Kurt Angle vs Eugene (with Christy Hemme) for the former's Olympic Medals. Angle is able to take down Eugene several times in the beginning minutes of the match, then Eugene "hulks up" and punches Kurt several times, then delivers a stunner for a 2 count. Eugene knocks down the Olympic gold medalist with a takedown of his own, then applies his own ankle lock. However Kurt powers out and takes down Eugene with 2 suplexes, then applies his own ankle lock. Christy jumps onto apron to distract referee, and Kurt is frustrated and grabs Christy's hair and threatens to suplex her. However Eugene sneaks behind Kurt and rolls him up for a surprise 3 count! Eugene beats Kurt Angle AND gets to keep the medals!!!
After the match, Christy celebrates with Eugene by placing the medals around his neck and Eugene runs several.laps around ringside as Kurt is pissed and shoves the referee and demands a rematch.

Fifth match is a rematch from Wrestlemania 21, Undertaker vs Randy Orton. After Undertaker chokeslams Randy and looks to go 2-0 in their series, a random old "fan" jumps into the ring and looks to try to attack Undertaker. This distracts the Deadman enough for Randy to RKO him and pin him. After the match, Randy tears the disguise off the "fan", revealing it was his dad that played Undertaker.

Sixth match is for WWE championship, as John Cena defended against Chris Jericho. Jericho tries pulling several tricks up his sleeve to get the title, but Cena is more than capable tonight to keep Jericho at bay and he pins Jericho after an FU to retain.

*However, after the match Jericho attacks Cena with a chair, with a second headshot busting him open. Jericho gets some cheers, but mostly boos, as he laughs and walks to the back. Just then Edge's music plays and out comes Edge with Lita and his MITB briefcase. Despite having his shoulder bandaged from his match with Matt Hardy earlier, Edge is determined at 1 thing... and that is to win the wwe championship! Since this is the first time, we witness first hand how the MITB briefcase works, as Edge announces he is cashing in tonight and facing John Cena for wwe title right now! The bell rings and Edge spears Cena... but gets a 2 count. Edge goes for a second spear, but Cena grabs him by picking him up onto his shoulders, but Edge racks Cena's eyes (possibly already damaged by the cut on head), and hops off to charge at him and spears him and gets a 3 count! Edge had won wwe title for first time!!!
Edge and Cena celebrate by making out and holding the title together in the ring, while Cena is very disappointed.

Seventh match is No Holds Barred and for WHC, with Batista defending against JBL. The Texan fights hard and beats Batista with a belt for a bit, but Big Dave shows he is more than capable as WHC and powerbombs JBL twice (last time being onto steel steps) and pins him to retain.

Main Event is Hulk Hogan vs Shawn Michaels. Quite interesting in all their respective years in the business they have never had a 1 on 1 match together. Anyway Hogan's offense must really be powerful tonight as Shawn is made to flop around and backflip over simple things like clotheslines and tosses over the top rope! Shawn does use his speed and flying abilities to slow down Hulk and looks to win after a superkick. However Shawn should know better if you had seen ANY Hogan match, as Hulk Hulks up, does his 3 punches, big boot, and pins Shawn after a legdrop.
After the match, while Hogan is posing, Shawn does show good sportsmanship by shaking Hulks hand.
