The show opens with Justin Roberts introducing Hulk Hogan. Hogan makes his way out to a big pop from the crowd. Hogan’s got a mic in hand, and he wants to tell the Hulkamaniacs something. He can’t think of a better way to kick off SummerSlam that with Hollywood Hulk Hogan. Tonight is a night of great proportions, where dreams are made. Where mortal can become immortal, and people can etch their names in the history books. Hogan says if you’re not in Los Angeles, he knows you’re watching the broadcast on the WWE Network. And he doesn’t care where in the world you are, or what you’re doing, he knows what you paid. $9.99. Not only do you get to watch SummerSlam, he rattles off some of the other shows you get with your subscriptions, hitting the $9.99 price point again. Hogan asks what you’re gonna do when the Network, Hogan, and SummerSlam run wild on you? We cut to a video package cut together like a faux movie trailer with various WWE SuperStars in starring roles. It’s similar to other SummerSlam video packages put together in the past, and highlights some of the main feuds heading into the show tonight. It’s nice that more matches than simply the top two get a little screen time in the opening video package this go around. The pyro hits and Michael Cole welcomes us to the show. The lights go out, and Miz’s music hits. Miz makes his way out with a mic in hand to a bit of heat from the crowd. Miz says this Summer is dominated by talking robots and ninja turtles, but tonight the fans are here with a non-CGI movie star. A man with something everyone in this town wishes they had. Miz points to his face and says ‘the moneymaker. He says he’ll make Dolph Ziggler go from a bright, shiny star, into a miserable failure, basically the WWE version of the Lakers. Dolph Ziggler is out next, and the show-off gets a nice reception from the fans in attendance. Ziggler tells the fans that he hears them. In a weird note, Cole welcomes the German announce team, who are sitting ringside tonight. Read more http://www.wrestlingnewsworld.com/wwe-summerslam-2014-results/
