Released: October 2009

WWE Summerslam is one of the big four pay-per-views of the year for the wrestling goliatch that is World Wrestling Entertainment. It comes at a time during the summer where the theme is usually revolved around some big matches and big names. This latest Summerslam has hit the DVD format for the first time.

WWE Summerslam 2009 took place at the Staples Center this year and featured some high-quality matches, including a few great main events.

The two big main events here included the WWE Championship Match between Randy Orton and John Cena, as well as the TLC match between Jeff Hardy and CM Punk.

Needless to say, it was Cena and Orton that continue to steal the show each and every time they get in the ring. These two are always a lot of fun to watch and bring so much drama and high-octane action to the table that it will make your head spin.

The undercard, if you want to call it that, was also quite strong as we had Rey Mysterio going against the up-and-comer Dolph Ziggler in an IC title match, as well as Y2J and Big Show going up against Cryme Tyme.

Matches were rounded out with DX going up against Legacy, MVP against Jack Swagger, and Khali against Kane.

The DVD release is very well-done with superb audio and video quality per usual for WWE.

Ever since the company made the move to HD< things have really improved with their DVD releases.

The onlye xtra on the release is the 15-diva battle royal, a fun extra for fans of the divas.

WWE Summerslam is usually one of those events that you do not want to miss, not quite at the level of WrestleMania but close. That is the case here, as this one is worth owning on DVD for wrestling fans.
