Hell yeah, it's so much easier to move around then because one area is completely off for the cameras and that is the good area.

sorry, not sure what this means.

why would i want to move around and which area do they cut off for the cameras?

thanks

the middle/premier section I'm talking about. See, moving around is easier on the other side since there is no equipment around that side and barely any guards.

I think ive confused myself. this is all very new to me.

when we say "tv side" is that the side where you can be on tv (cameras pointed at you) or does that mean sitting on the side where you can watch it like you would if you watched it on tv?

ie, when the wrestlers come down the ramp to the ring, the cameras are usually to their right. so do i want to sit on that right side (where I wont be on tv) or do I want to sit on the other side (left side - where I could be on tv if I sit close enough)?

which is the "good side" when being their live?

thanks again

tv side is where the cameras are at. When they show superstars walking down the ring facing the camera, the camera side is always on the left.

I might not be as helpful cuz I only know the Allstate Arena by heart.

As much as i'd love to see Cena kick Big Slow's arse, it just means we get more of Kermit the frog's cheese down our throats the next night on Raw. Think Summerslam is shaping up to be a decent event. Looking forward to Lesnar v HHH simply because the match will be very good, even if the build hasn't been so. Althought the main event has Slow in it, I quite fancy Cena v Punk as a rematch from last year. Then we have super Dolph who will no doubt steal the show again!

This.

I hope this is the PPV that completely buries Show and shoves him out of the main event. Cena is even better than that dope in my opinion and can at least have decent back and forth with Punk on the mic.

Agreed - I can't help but thinking and actually find it totally bizarre that the likes of Big Show dont find themselves on superstars or in the under-card bringing the youngsters through now. He's had a good career for a giant, he's won virtually everything and has had respectable spells in the main event arena, but the time is now. His whole, slow, boring personna is grating on me after 10+years, his stupid new punch and the WMD sign, only reminds me more of the era we are in (a dreadful one). Im no Cena fan at all, he gets thrown down our throats more than any superstar I've ever seen in my entire life, but he has the ability to at least drag a match from someone.

I can't agree with you more. What's more bizarre is someone who played the role Big Show is playing now perfectly is Mark Henry, who was ironically buried by Big Show during his reign of terror. Henry > Show in that monster heel role.

Summerslam is 5 days away, and this thread already has 10 pages. I think we're going to break posting records ladies and gents.

Congrats to WWE on the build for this PPV. I didn't think it was possible for me to care about a card like this, and really didn't think they had it in them after half-assing the last two Summerslams, but they pulled it off.

The Ziggler-Jericho match feels hot. The PTPers have gotten enough heat on themselves and have one-upped the champions enough times to make the tag match feel as important as a tag match could feel these days. With only 6 (plus the preshow) matches announced, they can add a short Sandow vs Brodus which would be awesome due to the characters involved, plus a WHC match which was at least well-built.

And if I can look forward to Triple H vs Lesnar, a feud I was doing my best to ignore, they really out-did themselves. Awesome final segment on Raw.

Granted, the WWE Championship match feels lousy, but there's only so much you can do with Cena/Big Show. The IC match was just thrown out there, the US title match feels lackluster due to Cesaro's lack of direction, and Kane/Daniel Bryan can't look any worse right now. But still, they did plenty of things right going into this show.

^ Nice post.

This is just a quick fly-by post to say I hope the official SummerSlam prediction thread will be posted prior to Friday night. (hint, hint) Seriously though, looking forward to the PPV now.
