[9.0] "Henry Vs Sheamus was just mid and both Kelly Vs Beth and the show's closing angle with Kevin Nash and Del Rio's MITB cash in was all just bad, but the six man tag match was solid, Bryan Vs Barrett was good, Cena Vs Punk is brilliant and Christian Vs Orton no holds barred is really phenomenal. Overall WWE SummerSlam (2011) is a fantastic show."

[6.0] "SummerSlam 2011 is a very solid show. The opening six-man tag team match was super fun; kind of weird to look back and see how Miz, Del Rio and R-Truth were all positioned as main event guys around this time and all for one reason or another never made it there. The work was solid, the card was hot, and the finishing sequence was pretty exciting, a good opener. Sheamus/Henry to follow is a decent match, designed to continue building up Henry. It was pretty hard-hitting, and I actually think the count-out finish helped a lot to sell the destruction of Mark Henry. Kelly/Phoenix was pretty good for the standards of the time, I don't really have too much else to comment on though. Barrett/Bryan is a hidden gem in my opinion, a real good match between them, although Barrett going over was a little confusing to me. The two world championship matches are the best things on the show; Orton/Christian in a no holds barred match is the perfect conclusion to their rivalry. Christian is so amazing at playing the chicken shit heel, especially in this match. A very fun, exciting brawl with a lot of weapons use and also, Randy Orton actually broke the announce table which he never does. The finish was pretty cool too. And then, the main event, CM Punk vs. John Cena. This match was not as good as the Money in the Bank counterpart a month before, but still, these guys have so much chemistry together that any match between them is going to be enjoyable. Triple H as referee really didn't do much for me to be honest, considering how he wasn't friendly with Punk, you'd expect that to be explored more but it wasn't. After a pretty fun match, Punk wins which is the right decision. What isn't the right decision is Kevin Nash returning for no reason to attack CM Punk, then Alberto Del Rio cashing in Money in the Bank to become new WWE Champion. Especially in hindsight, what an annoying ending to the show which definitely takes off some of the enjoyment for me. But still, that aside, this isn't a bad show. It's probably more in the middle if you're ranking all SummerSlam's. I'm going to give it a 6/10."

[6.0] "This is a Summerslam that rests solely on the shoulders of the main events. The undercard is serviceable enough for sure, but not a single match is going to really stick in your memory. A forgettable undercard can thankfully be salvaged by great main events, but you'd like to see more. For the six man tag, it was because the match had no heat, while for Bryan vs. Wade, it just booked itself into a corner which hurt it. Christian and Randy have their best match here in my opinion, and while Cena and Punk cannot replicate the magic of their first encounter a month earlier, still put on a damn good show. A fun, hot Summerslam overall from start to finish. Not an incredible show due to said lackluster undercard, but one of the better shows of the year for sure."

[8.0] "Good PPV. Randy and Christian have a underrated match. The 6 man tag featuring felt like a house show match. CM Punk vs Cena good match. Random ending with Nash and Del Rio. But seeing as Punk was good at promos and in ring. I'll forgive it."

[7.0] "Pretty good show all around kinda forgotten because Money in the Bank blow this away one month earlier. 6-man was a good opener R-Truth cut a funny promo before Mysterio got the pin for momentum for his title match the next night on raw ***, well done countout finish Henry pulled a little bit more out for this match **1/2, Kelly sold Beth's finish well before getting a sudden roll-up win *3/4, Bryan and Barrett had a good technical match with a build that started at last year's show Barrett finally got his big win ***1/2, wild world title match had a ton of weapons and Orton gave Christian a satisfying beating breaking three tables ****1/4, really good main event tension built between HHH and Punk, Punk sticks Cena with gts for awesome nearfall Cena not getting beat clean seemed unnecessary aftermath was great nobody saw that coming ****. skip to the last 3 matches they are strongly recommended."

[8.0] "This was actually a pretty good show. On my first review I gave the show a thumbs in the middle but after thinking about it a bit and looking back on the star ratings, it was a bit better than that so I'm going to go ahead and give it the Thumbs Up here. There were no bad matches on the show and several solid if unmemorable bouts on the undercard and the two main events were fantastic, so I think I'm going to go with a Thumbs Up here."
