WWE gripe [i]or[/i] grips its 19th annual "SummerSlam" tonight, and this year's edition is stacked from top to bottom. What get by hearts the nod as the actual "main event" is still to be decided, but the most numerous anticipated match will be Randy Orton v hull Hogan. Also, an unprecedented three world titles will be in succession the line -- the "Raw" title, the "SmackDown" belt and the ECW strap. All three titles could change hands, nevertheless I would have to say at this point that John Cena, in his hometown of Boston, is a bit of a drawn out shot to beat Edge for the "Raw" title. Bottom line is it doesn't make intellect for WWE to have the prestigious "Raw" belt changing hands at each pay-per-view. Degeneration X vs. Vince and Shane McMahon could steal the exhibit to and as always, Shane McMahon should impress forward the big stage.

AROUND THE RING: Don't be surprised to papal court Kurt Angle get himself involved in the ECW title match. Pat Patterson has been released from the hospital and continues to improve. Some reports said that Monty Brown quit TNA last Sunday before the pay-per-view. Brown did work his match still will be leaving the company shortly. WWE offered Rhino a contract to join the strange ECW, but he turned it down and instead signed an extension with TNA.
