ce ppv est dans l'ensemble enyueux seul deux match valent le cout : orton vs chris benoit et angle vs guerrero sinon le reste du show et tout simplement mauvais (on touche vraiment le font avec le doggball dans divas)

I think this event is alot better than most people say.

The 6 man and matt/kane were entertaining.

Cena vs booker was boring.

Then the crowd started to come into it which was what made the event really interesting.

I feel the highlight was Orton winning the title as to me it was totally unexpected and it was a decent match as well.

Not the best SummerSlam but still worth buying.

not an awful event, but not the greatest
certaintly the best match was eddie guerrero vs kurt angle, even better than their match at wrestlemania 20 in my opinion.

randy orton vs chris benoit was predictable, yet very enjoyable

the rest of the card was just dull, especially jbl vs undertaker, awful!

however, the best part of this event was the crowd! the hot canadian crowd were doing everything the wwe DIDNT want them to do, and it is for that reason that the event is better than it actually appears.

Sehr geile K?mpfe!
Vorallem der letzte Kampf Schockierent \ Blutig und das nicht wenig!!!
Sehr empfehlenswert

The only rleason this PPV gets a star and hasn't quietly slipped away out of the history books is due to the match between Eddie Guerrero and Kurt Angle. This match was a great technical exhibition and Kurt's return to form was appreciated by the crowd. This match is the ONLY reasons worth buying this dvd. Not even *spoiler alert* Randy Orton's lacklustre World Title win could save this event. Just about every match was either awful or instantly forgettable. The 6 man opener felt like a rushed match that should be on Sunday Night Heat not a PPV. The most pushed match of the event was HHH vs Eugene and it was absolutely ridiculous in every sence. The WWE title match was an insult and in my oppinion featured the most overated performer in WWE history - The Undertaker. The only thing the Deadman has going for him is his very boring Wrestlemania streak which has had more bad matches than good.

Basically do not waste your money as I did on this dvd. Summerslam has seen(and will see) much MUCH finer moments. Stay away.

The 17th annual Summerslam took place on August 15, 2004 from the place that Jerry 'The King' Lawler has often described as "Bizarro Land": Canada. Specifically from Toronto, this PPV promised much, with two big World title matches, but did it deliver?

The opener was a good 6-man tag team match pitting Rey Mysterio and the WWE Tag Team Champions Paul London and Billy Kidman against Bubba Ray, D-Von and Spike Dudley. This was followed by Matt Hardy vs. Kane in a "Till Death Do Us Part" match, with the daft stipulation that if 'The Big Red Machine' beat 'The Sensei of Mattitude', he could "marry" Matt's girlfriend Lita, who Kane had already impregnated. Hardy had scored a shock win over the former WWE Champion at Vengeance, but a second victory was not to be for the multi-time Tag Team Champion, as Kane chokeslamed and pinned his way into a future Raw wedding with the reluctant Lita. Reasonable match, but wedding angles in wrestling are nearly always pretty moronic.

Toronto's own Edge defended his Intercontinental Championship in a triple threat match against Chris Jericho and Batista. He pinned 'Y2J' in a somewhat disappointing, short match. Next was the first match in a Best-of-5 series to determine an "undisputed" United States Champion. John Cena was, bizarrely, still classed as champ despite a controversial match on SmackDown with Booker T. Wouldn't stripping Cena of the gold (like what happened a year or so later prior to the Best-of-Seven series between Booker and Chris Benoit) make more sense if you;re having some sort of "Best of" series? Anyway, Cena beat the 5-time WCW Champion to lead the series 1-0 in a mediocre match.

Having a break from the main-event, Triple H easily defeated Eugene in an average match where the Toronto crowd were rooting for "bad guy" Helmsley and booing the heck out of fan favourite simpleton Eugene, prompting Jerry Lawler to make one of numerous references to "Bizarro Land". It's called being able to think for yourself and not cheer and boo for who WWE tells us to, King. Perhaps even weirder, John Bradshaw Layfield had a fair few supporters in his WWE Championship defence against the usually mega-popular Undertaker. JBL won via DQ in another disappointing encounter after the referee saw `Taker hit Layfield with the title belt.

The Summerslam main-event was, fittingly, the best match on a somewhat below-par night. Randy Orton achieved his destiny by defeating Chris Benoit to become the youngest World Heavyweight Champion in WWE history. Again, the arena audience were surprisingly behind Orton, the heel, all the more surprising given that 'The Rabid Wolverine' was then a Canadian hero. The handshake between new champ and ex-champ at the end was an early hint at Orton's violent exclusion from heel stable Evolution the following night on Raw.

If Summerslam `04 had been a single-brand/B-Level pay-per-view, I'd have possibly given it 3 stars, as some of the action was pretty good. But sadly, this was meant to be one of the biggest events in the WWE calendar, yet daft booking, asinine angles and annoying commentary all conspired to make this the poorest Summerslam in years. The only saving graces is the always-interesting reactions from those free-thinking Canadian fans, and the excellent World Championship main-event. Not a dreadful PPV by any stretch, but this hasn't gone down in memory as a Summerslam many longtime WWE viewers really care about.
