Summerslam 2005 is now in the books. I kept falling asleep on the Main Event matches, which makes me glad I was taping the show. The rest brought some interesting thoughts:

• The US title match - Chris Benoit and Orlando Jordan had far more time in ring entrances than the actual match. I was amazed at how short it was! I'm glad Benoit finally got the title wasted on Jordan... too bad the win wasn't given much time to make it have meaning.



• Edge vs. Matt Hardy - I'm guessing the match was cut short by an actual injury Matt sustained. It felt disjointed and anti-climactic. Mind you, outside of this feud, where will Hardy go?



• Guerrero vs. Mysterio - this was an entertaining match, with a few innovative ladder spots, some very deserving of the "Holy S-it" chants from the crowd. A pity that Vicki Guerrero had to be involved in the finish, instead of the match being a pure one-on-one event - but it (hopefully) brings a dumb storyline to a close.



• Kurt Angle vs. Eugene - us Canadians can no longer have sole blame as Bizarro world, as the fans in Washington cheered Kurt on and booed the face, Eugene. When Kurt won back his medal (for the storyline, since it's a replica of the real thing) the fans were cheering.

I'll be back tomorrow for the other three matches.
