WWE 2006 PPVs From Worst To Best

9. SummerSlam

The Good: Sabu and Big Show had an odd, yet engrossing spotfest. This was Sabu's forte, but Show did his best to adapt and looked like a real killer in the process. Hulk Hogan and Randy Orton had the typical Hogan match. It was basic, and short, but the crowd were with them every step of the way. Ric Flair and Mick Foley's feud was not a highlight of either man's careers, but they definitely produced the goods here in a brutal I Quit match. Both men deserve credit for absorbing a tonne of punishment and putting it all on the line, especially when you consider their physical condition (Foley) and age (Flair). Overbooked to the hilt and featuring more run-ins than an Attitude Era main event, DX versus The McMahons was entertaining nonetheless. As stupid as a lot of the DX summer of 06 stuff was, some of it was pretty damn entertaining, too. John Cena and Edge produced a worthy main event. The Bad: Rey Mysterio and Chavo Guerrero had a deeply disappointing opener. Their storyline (based on the death of Eddie Guerrero) was risible, too. And Batista and Booker T had yet another dud on PPV. They just never clicked at all. The Rest: Hogan was advised to pull out of his match due to his knee injury but declined. He couldn't well pass up the opportunity to go over clean on one of WWE's biggest stars, could he?
