Summerslam 2016

[PhilTLL]

Charlotte and Sasha blowing the Eddie/Rey spot did give me an excuse to show my friends that match during Apollo/Miz.

[El-P]

Ah ah ah ! That troll pin by Jericho after a botch spot. I don't give a shit about Enzo & Cass, so good. Hey, make Jericho & Owens sing "We're not the mountie !" on their way to the ring, Owens can be Oulette & Jericho can be Jacques.

 

Sasha Banks vs Charlotte was pretty good, but way too much instance of Charlotte simply anticipating spots pretty grossly. That setup for the counter to the top rope Razor's Edge took forever and was way too obvious, and after that botch spot I was in fear. Oh yeah, *that* botch spot. Scary as hell. Hope Sasha is well. And... ok, so she already had the big win before SummerSlam, and now she jobs the title clean in her first defense ? Boss booking... *yawn*

 

Maryse is ridiculously hot. Miz is just ridiculous.

[C.S.]

Uh oh...

Sasha Banks Removed From Listings For Upcoming WWE Live Events (Wrestling Inc.)

 

Wellness?

[El-P]

Damn Sasha.

 

Wait WHAT ? 0-3 ? This will be a feel good show I guess. It's already too long too. Give me Rusev vs Reigns already so I can go to bed and watch the rest tomorrow, no way I'm staying up until 5 in the morning for this.

[FMKK]

Taking the precedent of Wrestlemania, I'm trying to work out the worst case scenario booking decisions for the rest of the night.

[jcmmnx]

Cena looks old and slow.

[C.S.]

Prediction: All of the faces will lose until Super-Reigns beats Rusev and gets that big crowd pop from the relieved audience. #ConspiracyTheory

I'll do a live blog at SC. I really loved Cesaro/Sheamus. Those two went out and really tried to kill each other on the freaking pre-show. Cesaro doing a springboard from the ring post to the ropes??? Where did that come from?

[El Dragon]

I think this has officially hit "overkill" mode now.

Enzo & Cass are The New Age Outlaw coupled with Kid Kash & Lance Hoyt. I couldn't give less of a fuck. The annoying sing-along catchphrases and shit, are we in 1999 again ?

 

Agreed. Don't really understand the appeal. Far too reliant on the sing-along catchphrases and schtick. Same with the New Day.

 

 

 

I don't think this is fair to New Day. New Day is like Lady Gaga, you strip away the gimmick and you still have 3 guys who can go in the ring and can talk. Enzo & Cass are like Jennifer Lopez. The show, costumes, persona, and everything else MAKES it all work. Take away all of that and just have them go out in the ring with black tights and no cute catch phrases, they will die a death. Enzo & Cass have been in some entertaining matches, but its usually because of who they are facing and not really because THEY are the ones doing the work.

 

Re: Summerslam set

 

The grey mat and barrier with the white ropes makes everything look brighter and that is a welcomed change. Love it.

[El-P]

Cena looks old and slow.

 

 

Looks like old Cena to me.

 

I've seen AJ Styles have way better matches with Kid Kash during my TNA 2004 watch.

[FMKK]

This is just more of the spammy movez stuff Cena did against Owens and Rollins.

 

And apparently Sasha has been pulled from all events until 23rd September. Wellness?

[jcmmnx]

They've done every move in their arsenals, and I still don't give a fuck. Mediocre your move my move spot fest. Fucking horse shit kickout of AJ's finish just end it already. Was Davey Richards the agent for this match? Finally

[El-P]

Usual "kick out of finisher / rince / repeat" WWE self-conscious epic. I'm in no hurry to see Nakamura or Joe get thrown into this shitty formula.

[El Dragon]

Yeah, this was building to something cool, then it stopped.

[Fando]

Usual "kick out of finisher / rince / repeat" WWE self-conscious epic. I'm in no hurry to see Nakamura or Joe get thrown into this shitty formula.

 

they did it last night.

[FMKK]

Cena burying his finisher for all time now.

[El Dragon]

Fucking really, kicking out of a top rope AA?

[hammerva]

This makes the Cena vs Kevin Owens matches look like something from Crockett territory in 1978. I mean it is a hell of a sprint but damn

 

HOLY SHIT HE ACTUALLY WON THE MATCH

[PhilTLL]

The perplexed stalling bit is really annoying from a kayfabe POV. Like, what kind of idiot...

 

Anyway, that was at least 5 minutes too long.

[El Dragon]

They finally put some up and comer over John Cena clean and the young up and comer just turned 39.

[FMKK]

That was rubbish. They threw story out the window about five minutes in for your turn-my turn.

 

And then Cena basically no sold the Styles Clash to be up for the forearm.

[MarcMadness]

I agree with everyone the finisher spamming is predictable and a tired formula, but man, AJ going over clean as a sheet. He'll be Smackdown champion within the next few months I would imagine.

[jcmmnx]

And now several matches have to follow a match with 85 finisher kick outs.

[Jmare007]

AJ vs Cena was mindless spotfest for sure, but I had fun watching it *shrugs*
