What the fuck does Cena even think he's doing there? Because he seems to be bending Show's knee the way it's *supposed* to bend, while tugging on Punk's arm. WHATTA MANOEUVRE!!!

ZOMG 3xH lost!
Didn't see the PPV, but by reading posts and other sites, hmm. Zigs and Jericho was MotN it seems, which was thoroughly expected. Sucks he's leaving so soon because these two could have a great series of matches and be entertaining in both the ring, and in promos. Instead they wasted Ziggler a while on the awfulness that is Brodus Clay, and Jericho with the equally awful Raw Money in the Bank match.
The WWE title event seems like they're pushing for a third title match between Cener and Punk. Meh. They need new blood in the main event.
World Title needs off Sheamus - he's a decent worker but his booking on him is atrocious. Get Barrett or Ziggler in and remove it from him. Del Rio is fine ring wise, they just need to stop getting him fed to the Cena's of the WWE in Cena, Punk, and Sheamus. He beats Santino, big whoop. God this roster sucks, good job Vince.

I've never been this correct before, all but one match (Miz vs. Mysterio) correct. That and the cash-in that never happened.
Yay me!
So... Who's cute now Kyoufu?

I'm proud to say I picked Bork since the f**king match was hinted at! HHH knows no one gives a shit what happens at SummerSlam now, its all about the revenge fight at WM or something that will now be an even bigger deal because oh woe is meeee I have to MAN FIGHT my way out of retirement for THIS BUSINESS to stop an UNSTOPPABLE MONSTER WHO LOST TO CENA BUT NOW ITS PERSONAL CAREER FOREVERNESS.
Also I love how the Charlie Sheen shit never amounted to anything lol, you knew it was going no where when they were hesitant to even mention it again incase he flaked out on them. Way to go WWE, it was always a good idea to possibly get involved with a substance abusing Hollywood actor..... what could go wrong!
Daniel Bryan would have broken his arm anyway. /heyman

Here's a nice treat for Monday morning, a collection of Owen Hart matches in Japan, featuring Owen's short run with the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title, a great tag match that sees Owen team with Steve Williams against Antonio Inoki & Nobuhiko Takada, plus, matches against the likes of Hiroshi Hase, Jushin 'Thunder' Liger (Keiichi Yamada) & Shiro Koshinaka;
Some great matches there, but it's incomplete - I'm missing stuff from Owen's first tour in 1987, his 1989 tour, his Jr. Heavyweight No. 1 contender match against Liger from 1990, his TOSJ 1991 match against Wild Pegasus (**** ******), and his short stint in WAR in 1992, including a match against Ultimo Dragon. If I can find those in good quality, I'll add them to the set.

The whole waving goodbye thing was weird though. He can't be retiring with a loss, so what's up with that? He's gonna stay off TV until february to set up a WM rematch?
Maybe he'll cut his hair like Undertaker did and be all bitter and shit about losing.
Will watch. Loved seeing Owen.

Ah, thanks for that Boot. Favourite wrestler ever, need more of his Japanese stuff. Found a DVD set by an indie group that covered the best of Owen Hart that had a few matches on it.

He'll be off TV for awhile, wrestling wise anyway. He knows it wont matter cause Bork wont be on much bragging anyway so people will just forget how much all this blew up in his face and how he tapped out like a little girl until his 'glorious return' to hype the WM rematch.
HHH will crush Bork and with it bury the UFC (in Vince's mind) then and go off into the sunset 'retired' until of course a new up-and-comer gets too over and needs to be reminded who the greatest is.
Starting the night after WM we're bombarded with promos about HHH's career and how wonderful the match was. These run for the next 15 or so years. Current wrestlers are shown talking about how respected and awesome he is, off camera unseen HHH and Vince are jerking off together.

However, smh for the WWE Title match overbooking.
Okay, first off, if CM Punk is the first one to lock in a submission, shouldn't he win when the person taps out? Sure, he got help, but if Cena had just kicked Big Show in the face and Big Show tapped Punk would have won as well. Seems to me there's a rule for this.
I'm happy Cena did the job for Punk once more, even if it was done to set-up a rematch at NoC, but couldn't they have done that with the second ending instead of the screwball ending before that?
And what was up with Punk's act before and during the match? Was he trying to be the Macho Man or Hogan or something? Did those flashy colors turn him into an 80's wrestler?

This is super cool, between this and Bootaaay's new Owen Hart collection I'm set for Monday!
They should have declared them both winners, but still WWE Chapmion. C M PUNK.
A lot of my predictions were wrong.
But, I gotta say, the ending was absolutely horrible. Instead of Brock going all beast mode and flexing up and shit... he just walks out with his music going. HHH then lays in the ring trying to get the crowd behind him to get himself over.
Soooooooooo stupid.

That shit was baffling. Restarting the match and keeping Show in was just downright weird.

You guys actually watched Brock Lesnar FIGHT Triple H? I turned it off after the triple threat.
It's all about the game!
You guys will find absolutely anything to complain about.
Same here. Triple H in 2012 lol

Wow you guys really hate Triple H.
He lost the match. He may well retire. I don't see a rematch coming, mainly because I think they are setting up a Brock/Taker 'Mania match (with nice symmetry in the fact that Brock has just taken out Taker's last two WM opponents). It was hinted at a few years ago and frankly I don't see why they wouldn't do it. Give Brock a few more wins and have Undertaker challenge him while having Triple H trying to talk Taker out of it. They are telegraphing it.
The rest of the PPV was meh. I like that they are setting up another Cena-Punk feud because frankly it's the most interesting main event match they have at the moment. I have a sneaky feeling Big Show is going to start feuding with a newly babyfaced Wade Barrett. I could be way off on that though.

I kind of get it. At first I was like, wtf, he tapped out!
But then I figured, the outcome was nullified because of the fuck finish, so the finish doesn't count and the match was restarted as it was intended, a 3-way.
In reality, they needed Big Show for the actual finish. Quite frankly, they never should've done the fuck finish to begin with, the ending they did was fine on it's own.
I think the whole reason of adding the fuck-finish was to have AJ on air. Which in itself is a good choice, because she got a nice pop and they did chant for her in the beginning of the match.

The dumb part was the STF from Cena. He couldn't even apply it properly because of Punk's hold.
But it made sense. Big Show was the big massive giant they couldn't take down alone, so they had to work together.
edit: beaten
Hey don't lump me in there!
Yep, imagine if Brock had freaked out like he did after he beat Murr in the Ultimate and then got the mic and went on a rant. Would have been awesome. Of course the crowd would have still been dead.
Yeah, that Cena submission crap was stupid.
Hopefully, Punk calls him out on it tonight.
Yeah, I managed to do the same as well...

Still haven't seen any of this Antonio Cesario guy due to the slideshow of a Youtube stream they had going on yesterday.
I don't know if Brock doesn't have any interest in picking up his old wrestling style, or he wants to play up his UFC style. Makes for some awkward matches.
But he tapped out!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7dqPw--ZcE#t=6m24s
It's worth watching for the spot
where he destroys the cobra sock
Trips gives someone the clean win, and the immediate next thought is to come up anything to make Trips look like the bad guy. Silly.
Brock worked the arm the whole match and Trips tapped eventually. No interference or funny business. Now folks are saying he did it just so the fans could feel bad for him, or Triple H will somehow win later. Whatever, he lost the main event event at Summerslam cleanly. But that's not good enough. Hey at least he won't be smiling and yucking it up on Monday Night Raw, I can guarantee that.
Do you mean... 5 million bucks?
I guess people think he will face the Undertaker. Not sure how that will work. Supposedly they hate each other. Or maybe they've made amends and they'll just play it as such. They can definitely play it off with both Shawn and Trips convincing Taker not to do it.
So after Brock maybe Taker will still have enough in the tank to face Cena. That's the real Challenge!

Also that was the most blatant no-sell of the pedigree since Wrestlemania 12.
true dat!
That was hilarious (in a good way).
I had no idea Warrior was still in WWF. I was watching WWF ever since Hunter Hearst Helmsley debuted and don't ever remember Warrior there :x
