WWE Summerslam 2010 DVD Review

By Phil Allely

Summerslam is the WWE’s annual mid-year card that helps build on the Wrestlemania fallout and create a buzz as the winter season approaches. This year the main storyline evolving in the WWE was the newly titled Nexus group (members of the NXT series) and their frustration at WWE management.

This combined with the firing of their main man Daniel Bryan (a cleverly worked storyline or a real life travesty of Political correctness gone mad, no one really knows) led to a seven-on-seven main event between the Nexus and John Cena fronted WWE mainstays (including Bret hart, John Morrison, Edge and Chris Jericho).

The match itself has been documented before, but the in-ring action and surprise appearance by Bryan (as a team WWE member) all helped elevate it to a decent effort form all concerned. Considering the Nexus were not ready for such a high level bout they did try their best.

Elsewhere Kane continued his pursuit of the mystery man who injured The Undertaker and battled Rey Mysterio for the maniacal monster’s World Title.

Sheamus Defended his WWE Championship against perennial thorn in his side Randy Orton, Alicia Fox tackled Melina over the Divas belt, Dolph Ziggler and Kofi Kingston butted heads with the Intercontinental strap on the line and The Big Show took matter into his own hands with the Straight Edge Society by battling all three members in a handicap match.

Summerslam was not perhaps one of the WWE’s many highs of 2010, but it did continue to build up the Nexus groups standing and push along some decent storylines, things were dodgy in parts, but it does still hold its own and merit a purchase.

Summerlsam 2010 is out on general release on November 15th 2010 and is available from www.silvervision.co.uk
