Grimmas Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Is the download icon missing on P2B? Yes, it's being fixed. For some reason download is not a default option and sometimes it is missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Dog Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 It really stuck me as you guys were talking just how unimportant Summerslam tends to be as a show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Elaborate Mad Dog. I can't tell if you are bothered by our comments or if we made you aware of how it tends to be "just another show". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Oh no, I thought it was a great show. It just opened my eyes to how it's just another show and not the second biggest show of the year like I tended to think of it as. I also made a typo and meant struck not stuck as well.

goodhelmet Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 I think it is always built up as an important show that ends up with subpar or unsatisfying results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 I started watching in 1997 so my first two Summerslams were two of the good ones so I think that has always colored my perception of it as a fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chief Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Don't see a thread yet, but the NXT vs. ROH show was fantastic. Now I want Tommy Rich doing the entrance spiel with Enzo and Cass for NXT Assault on Atlanta tm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

concrete1992 Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Kris's point on the upcoming ROH Atlanta show should be dismissed: ie: Moose vs. Jay Briscoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisZ Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I didn't know that then but that match is AWESOME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 One thing about NXT specials they're really only 2 hours which would make me choose ROH. Good show guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen to a fun and contentious discussion and find out. http://placetobenation.com/good-will-wrestling-summerslam-vs-the-bash/ I must apologise in advance for my appearance on this show, which I think is bottom 2-3 Parv podcast appearance ever. Will and Kris were both great and you should definitely listen, but when we got to 97, I was talking about a show I hadn't seen in 18 years, and was drawing a blank. Just apologies in advance. I like to put out what I think is quality content, and I didn't think I was up to snuff on this one. I was working flat out that week, with little down time and was running on fumes for this show with no prep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NXT is taping at least one episode of TV post Special, so shouldn't be a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 I am not convinced they're not going 3 hours with this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 I love all you guys, but that Best Summerslam Ever show was super frustrating and frankly embarrassing at points. "I don't remember this, so it couldn't have been memorable" isn't a legit argument, especially when discussing shows over a decade old. Also taking into account region and generation, it may have been a good idea to have someone like JT on who grew up with these shows to counterbalance the opinions of 90's WWF. The double standard of having 2005 go to the second round due to a short Edge-Hardy match, an overrated Guerrero-Mysterio match, and a funny, but meaningless HBK/Hogan match and 1989, 1990, 1993, 1995, and almost 2002 get roundly dismissed is ludicrous. 1989 has Brainbusters vs. Hart Foundation, Rude vs. Ultimate Warrior, and Martel/Rougeaus vs. Santana/Rockers which are all really fun or great. 1990 I'd put a level down, but the Powers and Glory vs. Jannetty, Demolition vs. Hart Foundation, Hogan vs Quake, and Warrior vs Rude are all worth watching, plus the return of evil Slaughter and Kerry vs. Perfect. 1993 is super underrated. Steiners vs. Heavenly Bodies, Gunns/Tatanka vs. Bigelow/Headshrinkers, and the Hart/Doink-Lawler saga are all top notch. The rest of the matches are all interesting whether it be Dibiase's last major WWF match, Luger and his story vs Yokozuna, Perfect-Shawn in an average battle or Ludvig Borga squashing Jannetty. 1995 deserves praise for the ladder match plus Hakushi vs Kid, Horowitz vs. Skip, and Hart vs. Yankem. None are MOTY contenders other than the ladder match, but it's a fun show. The 2002 talk pissed me off. That's a show that top to bottom is great and is the only Summerslam to win the WON Show of the Year. That's not the reason it should be number one, but it certainly talks to its reputation at the time and it holds up. Angle-Mysterio, Edge-Guerrero, Benoit-RVD (I don't DQ Benoit), Michaels-HHH, and Rock-Brock go up against any other major show. Plus that Test-Undertaker match is actually quite good. When the worst match on a 8 match show is either Flair-Jericho or Storm/Christian vs. Booker/Goldust, you know it's a good show. 1998 is overrated. I'm a 90's WWF guy but had the misfortune to drop out during my years between adolescence and teenager and missed 1998. When I went back to watch it without any sort of emotional connection, I found that show alright, but kinda boring. The Rock-HHH match is the ladder match version of the Hart Cage Match 4 years earlier. Plus lots of meh wrestling on the undercard. 2013 is good but there's literally nothing other than the top 3 matches and I like cards with more variety than 2 all-time great matches that take up one hour. Alberto-Christian is fine, but almost overrated due to people trying to make sure it's not overshadowed. Long rant aside, I wish you guys had at least made a playlist of 10-20 matches to revisit that sounded interesting, but had been forgotten before doing this. Actually enjoyed the show overall, but that's my two cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Sorrow Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 To be fair, I was a last minute sub so I didn't prepare at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Yeah, but you were the voice of reason a lot of times Johnny. Solidarity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
