SummerSlam Brooklyn... It's Time!!!

[Grimmas]

Fuck WWE

[Beast]

So Undertaker looks like a pussy and Brock looks like a moron? Good shit WWE.

[JerryvonKramer]

I didn't understand why Taker won, ref didn't check the arm or check. Since when? Brock didn't tap. Makes no sense.

[Beast]

And why would a third match need to happen? Brock won the first decisively, and everyone just saw Taker tapped no matter what the final decision was. Why would Brock need to do a third match?

[hammerva]

Anybody that tells you that a finish has nothing to do with whether a match is great or not wasn't watching Summerslam tonight

Amazing how badly they fucked this up.

Sounds like I didn't miss anything except the chance to be pissed off. Glad I kept my $9.99

1. Since when is a tap on the opponent's arm a tap out? Have to tap the mat.

 

2. Since when does a ref call a match the second a guy fades? Arm has to drop for three for a guy to be considered out cold. Brock didn't tap either, so how was it a submission?

 

There's some Earl Hebner 88 shit going on here.

[BBscout]

They must think they can pull that off since they are in the same building tomorrow and explain it then without burning the crowd. I kinda sense something with Sting coming.

[...TG]

The bummer is that was a pretty good match, miles better than their WrestleMania match, and miles better than any hopes I had for it. WWE gonna WWE, I guess.

Brock is going to end up having had 3 matches with Undertaker, 3 matches with Triple H and 3 matches with John Cena on his limited schedule. What a fucking joke. Unbelievable how much shit this company can get away with thanks to its monopoly power.

That is how opponents have tapped out to Taker's Hell's Gate.

[Coffey]

Between the Jon Stewart run-in finish in the World Title match & the bullshit finish in the Taker/Brock match, I'm not sure if WWE has ever had a show with worse outcomes to the most important matches on a Pay-Per-View before. Holy...

 

That was bad. Like, can't even possibly try to defend it bad.

[Matt D]

How in the world did they book that?

 

I thought the match was hugely fun whenever there were no suplexes or finishers happening (except for the corner Kimura and the last ride; that was awesome). It was all about the facial expressions. Taker's monster face after the sit up was one of my favorite Undertaker things ever.

[Quentin Skinner]

What sucks is that the match itself was actually better than it had any right being prior to that stupid fucking finish

[stomperspc]

Surprisingly good match. Undertaker kicking out of the F-5 the last two times to very little reaction was interesting. The crowd was not buying such a simple ending. Terrible, terrible finish. There were dozens of better ways to set up a third match. If they were going to show that Taker was beat, why not actually beat him leading to a third match at WM where Taker puts his career on the line for one last chance at Brock?

Plus it's perfect when you remember how Shawn put his career on the line because he just couldn't beat Taker.

[jcmmnx]

Awesome match and effort from Brock and Taker ruined by fucktard booking.

[Coffey]

I hope there's another #CancelWWENetwork trend that WWE tries to no sell.

[funkdoc]

that has to be another feather in brock's cap for any GWE voters out there, but...yeah

[goc]

I hope there's another #CancelWWENetwork trend that WWE tries to no sell.

Somehow subs went UP after the last one so I'm not sure if they would be too worried about it.

[Quentin Skinner]

Props to Taker taking way more offense than I expected him to

The match too big for WrestleMania. The finish too stupid for WrestleMania #SummerSlam

[Strummer]

the Taker/Lesnar finish is inexcusable but the Stewart stuff has a chance to be fun IMO. Clearly he will be a semi regular until they blow this thing off with Cena. It;s not like I think it's going to be all time great stuff but Stewart can handle himself in this environment

[JerryvonKramer]

I thought this show was comparable in quality -- in terms of matches -- to the NXT show. The only real difference was the crowd. It makes a difference when people seem over. A lot of the NXT workers are still green, but they are over. World of difference.

 

Sasha vs. Bayley was the best match of the weekend, but I'd probably take Brock vs. Taker over anything else on NXT show, even allowing for finish. And Cesaro vs. Owens, and even Sheamus vs. Orton, as well as the tag title match, were all probably on average better than the average level of the undercard of the NXT show. But the crowd sucked. So that makes everything seem worse.
