Huge storyline dropped-Jackass not at Summerslam

The planned "Jackass invasion" storyline which would have culminated at SummerSlam with a match against Umaga has been scrapped. WWE had already started promoting the Jackass stars appearing at SummerSlam - on the PPV promotional poster featuring the Jackass crew on the beach - burried up to their necks by Umaga.

The angle was originally supposed to include all of the big Jackass stars - Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Steve-O, Wee Man and the rest of them. Bam Margera suffered an injury recently and had to drop out of the match. The deal officially fell apart late last week when Johnny Knoxville pulled out.

Johnny Noxville had planned to do a few TV appearances for WWE leading up to the SummerSlam PPV. After the Benoit family tragedy happened, Knoxville and the rest of the group began distancing themselves from WWE. What started off as a several promised TV and PPV appearances soon scaled back to Jackass only working the SummerSlam PPV. Knoxville's departure lead WWE to cancel the match completely.

The Jackass were supposed to appear at the Great American Bash last weekend and do some of their stunts on Umaga, costing him to drop the Intercontinental title to Jeff Hardy. The Jackass crew was booked to be victorious over Umaga in their match at SummerSlam. Umaga will now face Jeff Hardy at SummerSlam.

I was right.

Not like it was much to look forward to. We've seen them get their ass kicked already, so why waste Umaga on them.

Cus it's friggin funny!!

I was disappointed about this, but only because I wanted Jeff to have the IC title. Hopefully he will score this championship at Summerslam anyway.

Umaga should not be the IC champ.

Don't worry ladymahogany, Our boy jeff will have that title.
