Jericho and Orton would be wastes of Lesnars limited dates. Hardly anybody cares about them.

Is there really enough available footage of Andre's prime to safely say he was easily better than Show? I know there's the New Japan matches but how much 70's/early 80's stuff is out there to comfortably put him ahead? Honestly asking because I havent seen nearly as much older wrestling as most here. For Big Show, these are the matches I rate highly: vs Brock Lesnar Smackdown 2003 (ring collapse match) vs Eddie Guerrero Smackdown 2004 vs Eddie Guerrero No Mercy 2003 vs Ric Flair ECW 2006 vs Mayweather Wrestlemania 24 vs Undertaker No Mercy 2008 vs Undertaker Cyber Sunday 2008 vs Cena Smackdown 2009 (sometime before Mania that year) w/Jericho vs Batista/Rey HIAC 2009 WHC MITB match 2010 (Show was the best guy in this match) vs Mark Henry Vengeance 2011 vs Daniel Bryan Smackdown 2012 vs Sheamus HIAC 2012 vs Sheamus TLC 2012 vs Del Rio Smackdown 2013 That's 15 off the top of my head. Do we actually have 15 Andre matches at this level on tape?

It also shouldn't be a given that Andre is better than Show. Over time Show has become every bit as smart a worker as Andre was, plus his ability to take big bumps at his size and age is super impressive. I say Big Show is better but not by a big margin.

It's a good card but I wish they had a tag title match on there to mix things up instead of only singles matches.

Are these the times you have Bix? Bell to bell times for SummerSlam as of right now: Cena vs. Lesnar = 25 minutes; Brie vs. Stephanie = 15 minutes (both have been training hard with the goal of having a good match); Reigns vs. Orton = 20 minutes (what the hell?!?!); Ambrose vs. Rollins = 15 minutes; A.J. vs. Paige = 12 minutes; Rusev vs. Swagger = 12 minutes; Jericho vs. Wyatt = 15 minutes; and Ziggler vs. Miz = 10 minutes. That's how the show is laid out, too, albeit in reverse order, obviously. That's 124 minutes on a 3 hour show. Sounds highly unlikely to me unless Ziggler/Miz or AJ/Paige gets bumped to pre-show. And even then it's a lot more than what they usually do on PPVs.

Naito/Makabe and Naito/Goto both being in the 4 star range is what stumps me. Honestly don't think either of them were much better than your average 2 segment Raw match. I get that Meltzer really likes the type of match that these three guys usually have, but even then 4 1/4 stars seems like a stretch.

A lot of people were pulling for Sami to win against Cesaro, in the building and on social media. Cesaro has "dumbed down" his wrestling style in the past couple of months but throughout 2013 he was really great at pacing his spots and working in moves like a chickenwing or a sleeper when the match called for it. I mean the guy can make a chinlock mean so much. Hopefully now that he's lost Heyman he can move back to that style.

I think it makes guys like Del Rio or Cesaro look less like stars but shouldn't a character like Bo always be wearing his merch, since he's clearly a parody of John Cena?

Then what about Sheamus? Or Ziggler? They also probably see Jericho and RVD the same way even if nobody else does. I do agree that Zayn would be best used in the Rey role though. Call me optimistic but I think he's the kind of guy who'll be bulletproof to 50/50 booking.
