SUMMERSLAM 2023

[sek69]

It's still pretty amazing we're basically getting a RINGS match in the middle of Summerslam

[KawadaSmile]

Let's gooooooo

[KawadaSmile]

Oh shit time for WAR

[sek69]

Oh man get the hose ready 

[sek69]

"Hey we kind of like that Gunther guy" - the Ford family, probably

[hammerva]

That might have been the most honest attendance numbers they have ever provided 

[KawadaSmile]

Big meaty men slapping meat. Fuck yes. Gunther never misses!

[sek69]

Now give Sheamus his one on one title shot so they can rapture all of us to meat slapping heaven

[KawadaSmile]

Finn, dislocate that fuck's shoulder!

[KawadaSmile]

Rollins dressed as King Mabel.

[sek69]

I'm almost certain Becky wore that robe during her Big Time Bex gimmick

[strobogo]

Shayna/Ronda might be the biggest disappointment of the year. The promo package was great, they knocked the fuck out of each other in the build up, and then put on such a dull sparring contest with terrible looking strikes and no intensity. All they had to do was come out and do 5 minutes of Frye/Takyama + a few heavy shots from Shayna, then the choke out. 

[The Thread Killer]

Seth Rollins robe looks like a bridesmaid’s dress from the 80’s.

[KawadaSmile]

Look at Seth Rollins delivering another MEH big time match

[Coffey]

I mean, I can hate on Seth Rollins all day with the best of them, but his frog splash is the truth.

[KawadaSmile]

Those false finishes. Fuck

[WingedEagle]

Rico/Logan -- this board rules.  Predictably a spotfest but yet still somehow less than Logan's other big matches.  Fun opener nonetheless.

Cody/Brock -- this place still wins.  Brock finally rocking a proper Titan Sports tan.  Never imagined him as Mr. Sportsmanship but here we are.

Battle Royal -- I'm out on LA Knight.  Amateur night cosplay isn't my thing.

Rousey/Baszler -- I seemed to enjoy this more than most and certainly appreciated the simplicity and avoiding overkill.

Gunther vs. Drew Mac -- Kawada nailed this one.  A far cry from Clash in the Castle and Mania but a fun, hard hitting affair and the right winner.  Its still damn near miraculous they haven't effed up Gunther.

Rollins/Balor -- Massively overdelivered without feeling overbooked.

[KawadaSmile]

Crowd seems dead but this has been fun

Just now, KawadaSmile said:

Crowd seems dead but this has been fun

Because this show, as usual, is too long.

I get the criticism of leaving Becky-Trish and others off the card, but good Lord, I get burned out after three hours.

No matter how good a show is, there's only so much I can watch without feeling fatigued.

[Coffey]

I haven't enjoyed this women's 3-way to be honest. Just kind of feels like it's in the cooldown spot.

[KawadaSmile]

BIANCA BELAIR

[strobogo]

A LOT of spots in this have had so much air in between competitors. Tighten it up, pals. 

[KawadaSmile]

Welp at least it wasn't Charlotte winning

[KawadaSmile]

YESSSSS LET'S GO

[KawadaSmile]

FUCK EYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
