Miz... who was on the pre-show.
1994 was a long time ago.
Whoever it is I'm sure they talk about how they're gonna bring the IC title back to the glory days where it meant you were blah blah blah.

Theyre not getting your money, but they're still getting you to spend your time and watch the product? So they're wasting your time and you continue to watch?
A bunch of Anth0nys up in here.
Remember when Shawn Michaels came out to shill KFC and then fucked off into oblivion?

I agree she's an impossible heel, but if there's any hope whatsoever for it, it's against Sasha or Becky who are the two most over faces on the main roster.
I'm glad you care so much about how I spend my spare time. It's nice to know you care.
Look at this anarchist
The fellow competing in front of this packed crowd.
No. Really. That's how full it was during his match.
Note to WWE: no one wants to watch 6+ hours of wrestling straight

Was never a problem for New Japan back when they had 5+ hour shows.
I have a feeling they're going to start splitting the big 4 into 2 nights.
friday: nxt
sat: ppv part 1 (raw)
sun: ppv part 2 (sd)
mon: raw
tues: smackdown
they'll just try to milk the diehard fans for everything they're worth over those 5 days

It's already not really working at four days.
their solution to something not working is doing more of it

I think Kairi, Dakota Kai and Toni Storm will end up being the long term fan favorites coming out of the MYC. Alpha Female too if she ends up signing. I just hope they dont fuck it all up.
Cena vs Nak could have headlined a show like this. I wonder why they had Cena put him over just for him to lose to Mahal.
I wonder if the Indian audience feels like their intelligence is insulted from what I hear of their localized commentary.

Because Vince McMahon hates wrestling.

Man, fucking magical event. Watching 10 minutes of Okada/Omega then seeing here that it's actually been 40 mins.

Yeah true just that she's so over and I love her so much that I worry she's gonna get the same treatment Becky and Charlotte have been post shakeup now that she's titleless.
But I'm just overreacting cause I'm a huge Bliss mark lol.

That shit should NEVER happen. If they are having an issue getting people into the building, you cancel or postpone the match. That is ridiculous and embarrassing

SummerSlam overall was a really great show.
My matches of the night were:
New Day vs Usos
Dean/Seth vs Cesaro/Sheamus
Roman vs Braun vs Joe vs Brock
I watched the show with friends who don't watch wrestling at all unless we all hang out and watch it. I usually watch the big 4 with them since I know that's when wwe puts on the best shows.
During the Show vs Cass match, all three of my friends were on their phones. One even fell asleep. Shows how awful that match was.
My friends liked:
Orton beating Rusev with the RKO in seconds.
Dean/Seth vs Cesaro/Sheamus, they really got into this match.
Roman vs Braun vs Joe vs Brock, spot of the night for my friends was the two slams onto the table then Braun lifting the last table onto Brock.

Its crazy. All of their matches feel like half the time they actually are.
There have been a lot of great, long matches in NJPW this year.
Also Takeover = Peter Pan>>>>>>>>>SS

Bliss is awesome and she got the No Mercy promo spot, I think she'll be fine.
Apparently that could have been the plan but it changed last minute, like most of the booking on the card
Neville wasn't supposed to win back the title either, Naomi was supposed to keep the title for a while longer, Jason Jordan was supposed to get the rub, New Day were expected to retain, Alexa Bliss was also supposed to beat Sasha, etc.
Vince has been doing these nonsense late minute booking changes for a while now, if it's for the HEAT or if it's because he finally lost what he had left of his mind who knows
Whatever it is the booking is atrocious and I'm glad I didn't waste more than 20 minutes watching that thing.
Agreed

Yeah I know. Again just a huge mark who didn't want her to ever lose the title lol.
Man WWE is weird all my fav wrestlers there are mostly based on promo skills whereas NJPW is almost entirely about workrate. It's probably actually why I can enjoy WWE still lol.

See, whatcha dont unduhstayand is, to make money and draw dimes, ya gotta work the smarks.
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAT
Rollins has been happy throughout this entire angle and he looks to be back to how he used to be in the Shield. Just enthusiastic, excited, full of life. It's also making him into a bigger babyface. This was a smart plan for both guys.
Rollins is probably just happy to be a champion again.
He hasn't been one for over a year.

She's fucked because unlike Reigns she certainly can't talk her away out of it by leaning into it... and she doesn't have his knack for putting on reliably good matches either.
