If Jeff has agreed to stay on through SS, then I want Punk/Jeff TLC. One way or another, I will get my TLC match sometime this year

The thing is, has there ever been a TLC match that did not involve a Hardy, Edge, or Christian?

Link256

No, all TLC matches have had at least one of them in. With Edge out, Hardy on the way out and Christian not really able to have a great TLC match with anyone on the ECW roster, that's why for me, SS is my last hope for one this year

The first thing WWE could do is NOT put Khali in a World Title match. That's been part of the last 2 SS's.

I don't see that happening at this year's SummerSlam! If he is in the main event, prepare for me to crap all over!

You might be. I agree with the peeps here that he overdoes it sometimes with the headlock. Otherwise, he's pretty darn good so long as he's booked right.

It's also to note that Edge was in in all but one TLC match and has participated in the last 3 TLC matches being all of them singles matches against Flair, Cena and Undertaker. His record is 4-2.

My friend bought the tickets and he told me it's somewhere on the Premier Level of the Staples Center on the camera side. I might be lucky enough to be on camera with a sign that is noticeable for them to film me. It's still not a bad view from where I sit cuz that is practically almost the same area I sat for when I went to RAW there 2 years ago.

If CM Punk is in a title match this year, it will be the 3rd straight year that he is in a title match at SummerSlam.

Assuming TLC match does occur this year, it will be the 6th time a variation of the ladder match has taken place at SummerSlam.

If Jeff Hardy is leaving the WWE after Summerslam, it would be in the WWE's best interest to make this a TLC, Ladder, or other special match, to get as many fans in as possible.

If it is Hardy vs. Punk TLC, then Hardy should be champ, it makes sense because if Punk beats him at The Bash it will the the fourth time retaining the title in a match against Hardy even if one wasn't clean and one was cashing in Money in the Bank. Storyline wise Rey or Morrison should be #1 contender after Hardy if he loses but I know WWE never makes sense.

Then again I wouldn't complain because that would be a fantastic match.

Well I got an e-mail from the Staples Center venue and they are telling me there is a FAN AXXESS event! I never knew they did one of these, EVER! Is this the first time? They are doing it for two days. 2 session on Saturday and 1 right before the PPV. I'm thinking of going to one of these.

If they do have a TLC match I'm expecting Matt Hardy to determine the outcome. It would be right at the time where he's expected to return so he could compete right after.

If I'm right (which I'm probably not), this sounds like the first time they've done it at a non-WrestleMania event. Think they've done one every year for WM since (at least) 18.

In that case, while a FAN AXXESS event good start, they need do more than just that:

  • Emphasis the history of SummerSlam
  • Have SummerSlam flashbacks
  • Time between Night of Champions and SummerSlam should be 6 weeks, not 4
  • Have a "Road to SummerSlam"
  • Have "dream matches" on the card

I see all of those starting up soon, the only one I don't see happening this year is the 4 to 6 weeks, but WWE will do the right thing for the "WWE Universe", but other then thst I hope to see some great matches at this coming up SummerSlam.

Well if they are making it big, then giving Hardy the WHC to drop to Punk at Summerslam would make alot of sense, he alone as champ will sell PPVs.

I don't have money to buy the tickets anytime now because I just paid my bills and loan money, so I'm broke. I'll have to buy them later in about a couple weeks to see FAN AXXESS in person.

Even tho it won't happen I'd wanna see Orton vs Big Show for the world title. Just anything to keep Cena and triple nose out of a title match for once.

And what would yall think of a fatal 4 way TLC match Punk vs Jeff vs Matt vs Morrison. That's assuming Matt is cleared to wrestler by SS.

Orton-Trips has been done to death. Cena-Trips is just a match we have already seen.

What I will say is that, personally, I am not interested in the prospect of more Cena-Trips.

Wait, till Shawn Michaels comes back this entire thing off or at least Cena will get a break with the honeymoon but that would mean Orton-Trips for the 23rd-around time.

What about Orton Vs. Cena?????? :|

THat hasn't been done that much and WWE can have Orton Punt Cena's head off at the PPV, and then Cena takes a break and then Michaels comes back then the next night on Raw. :)

And why not make it really good by giving Cena the Gold, for one month. :|

The rumor I have heard is Triple H vs. John Cena.Link256
So what would Orton be doing then? I'm definately not the guy's biggest fan (thought he was better when he was just the Legend Killer) but WWE had built him up so perfect and then right after the RR it all went downhill. And what is it with triple nose always having to be in a main event title match. It's been proven that he's not a draw. But I guess those are the luxuries or sleeping with the bosses daughter.
