Makes sense that WWE, in the midst of their locked-in blitz on Hollywood Academia, would want to have further presence in Los Angeles. Since WrestleMania is best as an event that hits up a different city from year to year, SummerSlam was the next-best choice as a Tinseltown tentpole.

Amazingly, the 2009 show was only the second SummerSlam to emanate from California, following the 2001 edition (San Jose). You'd think something with a summer motif would wanna hit up the west-coast shoreline more often. The LA stretch-run took care of that.
