Just watch MITB later. It's not like it makes any difference if you watch it live like NBC Sports is going to spoil whether AJ triumphed over John Cener.

I've got the big two matches for Summerslam 1998 left.

This is honestly one of the biggest WWF shows that's not a Wrestlemania. It's in MSG. The crowd is molten hot. Some of the acts have had musical acts doing their entrance. It takes place over two venues. Cole is in a Tuxedo. The last two matches are titanic clashes.

The biggest of big fight feels.

And the best match is...... D'LO V VAL VENIS!

I dunno. I'm really looking forward to celebrating Father's Day watching MITB. Going to be at least 3-4 great matches, and the briefcase always makes for entertaining uncertainty.

I'm sure WWE's thinking "thank god we gotchya money."

I actually wish there was more data on how many people sign up to the Network the day of a PPV, and if there's any spike at all.

If the WWE relied on ppvs they would get killed this Sunday.

Yup.

Meltzer brought it up on WOR. He said it means nothing whether people watch individual PPVs live other than WrestleMania because it makes no real difference in sub numbers whether they see it live or not.

The only real reason I watch live is posting on GAF during the event. I'm probably gonna miss MITB live.

They aren't lying about retention rates though. If you like wrestling the Network is a pretty good deal. I don't know how many of you guys were watching the B-PPVs before the Network but it seems like it's way more these days. Hell, The only reason I came back to wrestling is that I can watch all of the events for reasonably cheap now.

It makes me laugh how AJ started up doing the Styles Clash, then switched to the calf crusher before settling on the springboard forearm as his big cool finisher. I think he cycled through those week by week on the fly.

The weird part about the Clash is that they never seem to have commentary sell it as anything big.

Forearm looks way better than Styles Clash and is less likely to break your neck.

BTW, WWE was smart to book Money in the Bank in Las Vegas during the same weekend as EDC

MITB is still not sold out (not even close)

One of these days a heel commentator is going to have to start criticizing Styles for "ripping off" the finisher of Michelle McCool.

Ironically I always thought McCool did the move pretty well.

Speaking of Las Vegas, I'm going there next month for EVO. That's right, DM. I'm coming to your home town. You better have eyes in the back of your head, because if you're not paying attention you might just get rolled up IRL...

I tried to talk my wife to going to MITB and going to Vegas and she gave me a bunch of shit. (We don't live that far from there)

You liar.

You're going to Las Vegas because you're going to be sitting in the front row to watch Jimmy King take on DDP for the WCW title at the MGM Grand!

Watched a SWS show last night with a shitty Ultimo Dragon match where Ultimo got exactly what was coming to him.

Firstly, he'd been getting increasingly grumpy because El Satanico was mistiming some stuff, so he shoot kicked him in the fucking jaw;

But then moments later, it was Satanico's job to catch Ultimo as he went for his patented Asai moonsault haha;

Is Ultimo known to be a grumpy dude? I've seen him murder someone on a random WCW show because they fucked up a spot.

In other news, if Kevin Owens got in neo Bray Wyatt shape, I'd put the strap on him right now, brother.

Yeah, he's pretty notorious for losing his temper with anyone who makes him look bad - which is quite amusing, considering that Ultimo was occasionally quite the botch machine himself, even during his prime.
