NO SUMMERSLAM FOR ME!!

Summerslam used to have just as much flare and drama as Wrestlemania. Now it has been reduced to New York Knick status.
This is the current card for Summerslam:
WWE Champion Edge vs. John Cena World Heavyweight Champion King Booker vs. Batista D-Generation X vs. The McMahons Hulk Hogan vs. Randy Orton Mick Foley vs. Ric Flair ("I Quit" Match) Rey Mysterio vs. Chavo Guerrero ECW World Champion Big Show vs. Sabu
You can pick the jaw off the ground now.
For those of you looking to shelve damn near 50.00 for Summerslam, please take note that the two most purest athletes in Kurt Angle and RVD will not be participating. THIS SHOULD BE A FEDERAL OFFENSE!!! No Undertaker. No Carlito. No Trish Stratus. No Shelton Benjamin. No Ken Kennedy. No Lashley. There's only one match from ECW and it was just made official on Tuesday when Sabu won the ladder match. If it were me, there would have been a fatal four way between Big Show, Sabu, RVD and Kurt Angle for the ECW belt. Now that would have been a main event!! WWE is slipping right now and it's mainly because they can't seem to rid itself of the past. Because of that, young talents such as Carlito, Benjamin and Lashley have to be benched from Summerslam. Talk about taking talent and wasting it!! When is Hulk Hogan going to OFFICIALLY retire? He must stop doing this. How many matches between John Cena and Edge are we going to see for crying out loud? The WWE writers even had to bring back DX just to spice things up a bit. DX will never be the same unless it adds more members. And how easy was it for the CEO of the WWE to come up with the idea of booking himself. Look up egotistical and you'll see a picture of Vincent Kennedy Mcmahon. But while Vince's ego continues to grow, the WWE storylines are beginning to fall into the abyss. Wrestling needs to go back to having factions such as the Hart Foundation, the Nation of Domination and the NWO. Better still, have feuds between those factions. When WCW had their 98-week ratings win streak due to the old WCW-NWO feuds, sports entertainment was at it's best. Even the WWE were at it's best with it's faction feuds between DX and the Hart Foundation.
And what the heck has happened to the tag team division in wrestling? The days of the Legion of Doom, New Age Outlaws and the Hardy Boyz are long gone.
Now we have the Spirit Squad............A five man team with a 2 man belt.
I suggest the WWE bring back the NWO and expand the members of DX so that there could be an NWO vs DX feud. This could alter the course of where the WWE is headed.
For the first time in 5 years, I will not be pressing the Buy button on my remote control for Summerslam.
