At least Omega's having fun doing what he loves. He must just laugh every night at all the cool nerdy video game shit he gets to do in wrestling.
 
R-Truth beat Bo Dallas by disqualification when Bo wouldn't break at the 5 count. Bo beat Truth down after the bell and cut a promo.

lmao
another loss in the bo column

Cesaro unfortunately is not on the summerslam card it appears. Right now its looking like this:

Brock vs Cena
Jericho vs Bray
Reigns vs Orton
Ambrose vs Rollins
Stephanie vs Brie
Paige vs AJ
Rusev vs Swagger
Ziggler vs Miz
Tag title match that's a possible 4 way

edit:
All that is left is if Sheamus has a match but it seems the card is full
 
I would just like to point out that FallingEdge is a boss of all bosses

Also my birthday is in a week. I expect a royal feast in my name.

And cupcakes. Especially cupcakes
 
AJ Lee squashes Rosa Mendes by submission. Paige attacks AJ at the top of the ramp and lays her out. Officials check on AJ as Paige skips away.

Kane and Seth Rollins beat Dean Ambrose by DQ when Ambrose hit Kane with a steel chair. Rollins runs away as Ambrose hits Kane a few more times

So much for that Bryan booking.

We see AJ Lee being taken away on a stretcher with a neck brace on.

Oh, there it is.

Messy, yet consistently entertaining.

Man, 1994 hasn't been so bad, guys. I think it's the calm before the suck storm, though. Schiavone and co. mentioned Hogan a few times during Spring Stampede, so yeeeaaah. And honestly, how long can the Nasty Boys be involved in matches that I find somewhat enjoyable?

SS94 if the last good WCW PPV for at least 2 years. Bash at the Beach is okay, but is heading down fast. 1995 is awful for both companies.

I love how apparent it's been that Bryan was totally booked in such a way as an attempt for him not to get over for the longest time. Like damn, at this point you can't do any mental gymnastics to call it a slow burn.

a. I'm buying the fuck out of that DVD
b. I love how in every Dusty Rhodes story, Dusty refers to himself as The American Dream

Because he is.
 
In The Avengers, Powers Boothe plays one of the heads of whoever the fuck S.H.I.E.L.D. answers to. I like to think that he's reprising his role from MacGruber. In fact, I'd love to see MacGruber join The Avengers.

And accidentally blow them up with C4 in the back of his van.

Shit ton of 1 v 1s. We need some stipulations

Or it was panicky minute-by-minute booking of a guy they rarely fully believed in and they repeatedly pulled the plug/plugged the plug back in based on which way the wind was blowing/what the tarot cards said/how powerfully Vince's nipples were vibrating. I don't think it was malice or even proactive suppression, just repeated knee jerk stupidity in the face of talent they didn't know how to book as a main eventer.

The truth is more complicated. Originally born Cy Tolliver, his character is an immortal (or very long lived), dimension hopping entity who's spent his life building power up in a variety of alternate Americas as a black ops shadow financier (Avengers), Vice President Noah Daniels and US Senator Rourke.
 
Cesaro is getting Ziggler'd

:(

Speaking of Ziggler:

Dolph Ziggler vs. Alberto Del Rio with The Miz on commentary is next. Miz interrupts the match by standing on the announce table and mocks Ziggler. Ziggler goes after him but Miz gets away. Del Rio takes advantage and hits the cross armbreaker on Ziggler for the win.

I also like this fucking interpretation.

This finish happens so often, it's time they played with it.

--Rival A comes out to do commentary for the match, gets jumped by Rival B before he makes it to the chair, spends the whole match unconscious.
--Or Heel Rival commentates but doesn't interfere in the match, non-rival heel opponent loses the match to Face Rival, goes to Heel Rival and asks "What the hell?", starts interfering in Heel Rival's matches.

Every time I see this post, I slowly scroll down to see what the first A-, A, or A+ will be. What do you think is the main reason there's been no As so far? Are you a harsh grader? Bad pacing? Bad work rate?

I bet Bray ghost writes Jericho's next album

(laughs)

What ever...happened to you, Jericho? The weight of the world has crushed your shoulders. Why do you do what you do? Sister Abigail says greed lives in the eye of the beholder.

The...ice, in your veins...makes you strong. The...hole in your soul tearing onward. You're breaking your back everyday. The sin and bones lead you astray, Jericho.

I bet the closest thing to an A will be Summerslam 2002. Even WM17 had a lot of down time and dumb shit for being "the best show ever".

1994 WCW before Hogan comes in is pretty good. However, then Hogan and his buddies come in and ruin the place.
