Crazy

To be honest this whole week weekend has been a let down especially when compared to last year

 

[jmdajr]

Hope Randy got a decent bonus.

 

[KingBroly]

Something bad must've happened to Reigns or Rusev for them to end with 2 non-finishes in a row

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

There's such a strange disconnect between how Brock is booked and how everyone else is booked.

I'm not mad I watched though because we got Cena/Styles.

Spoiler

WWE Summerslam 2016 |OT| Flo Rida Got Popped

 

[sora87]

The Cena-Styles match was awesome but the rest was dull.

Pretty sure Randy was legit KO'd there. Wonder if that was intended, obviously the general structure/idea was planned but looked like it went a bit far.

I honesty did think he knocked randy out for a minute as he went totally limp, great selling from orton

 

[Owzers]

I liked the revival tag match and joe/nakamura on nxt and Sasha/Charlotte and Balor/Rollins tonight, I'm mostly pleased even though summer slam ended on two duds and just felt overly long.

 

[Syphon Filter]

isn't that what we all do?

yea lol

If it wasn't planned then fuck that juiced up unsafe sob.

 

[serenewarfare]

Surprised to see so many people down on the show. Match-by-match I think it delivered.

E&C vs Jericho and Owens: Fine opener. Right team won to continue the feud.

Sasha vs. Charlotte: Great match, albeit sloppy at times. Right person won to keep the feud going.

Miz vs. Crews: As expected, a nothing match. Result really doesn't matter.

Cena vs. AJ: Awesome match. MOTN & MOTYC for sure. Right guy won.

New Day vs. Club: Not great and a dumb finish. One of the only real negatives on the show.

Dolph vs. Ambrose: Fine match that had some fun moments, but the crowd couldn't buy in to Ziggler. Right guy won.

Women's tag: Pretty much a nothing match. Not offensive, just not good either. Nikki winning makes sense for her return and she pinned the right girl.

Balor vs. Rollins: Great match and the fans were into it. Belt is terrible though. You can debate the finish, but I liked that Balor went over. They need stars and the crowd is willing to get behind him, unlike Roman.

Reigns vs. Rusev: Segment was fine, but it's just a disconnect to what Roman is when he's on the mic. Give him a consistent character already.

Lesnar vs. Orton: It was a Brock match. If you like those, you'll like this one. If not, you won't. The finish was both dumb while also working in that he looked dominant for whoever is later going to beat him.

Overall I'd rate the show 7-8/10. I enjoyed a lot of it, Cena/AJ and Balor/Rollins being the real highlights.

WRESTLING IS REAL I ALWAYS KNEW IT YES!!!!

Both got popped

 

[Cagey]

Guys. The only person who definitively got popped tonight was Randal Keith Orton.

 

[Syphon Filter]

If it wasn't planned then fuck that juiced up unsafe sob.

yea it seemed legit to me, how they allow extra punches after that is crazy. that is dangerous.

Brock ought to be popped for obtaining Randy's juice.

 

[ghostmind]

Nxt shit all over that

It's not even close how much better the NXT show was (with Styles/Cena the exception).

 

[Ninja Scooter]

If it wasn't planned then fuck that juiced up unsafe sob.

Randy was probably cool with it.

 

[yuraya]

So all this means is that Orton, Lesnar, Rusev and Reigns getting suspended for wellness violation. Right?

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

Where the fuck was my F5 in to an RKO? This match was worse than I could have possibly imagined.

 

[Heroman]

Sasha vs Charlotte was imo did of the night itade no sense for Sasha to lose her first big ppb match.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Randy was probably cool with it.

Anything to get his ass home

 

[spindashing]

We all got #Popped tonight, folks.

See you tomorrow.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

You foos are kidding if you don't think Randy and Brock went over exactly what they were going to do start to finish. They're both veterans of this game.

 

[KingBroly]

So all this means is that Orton, Lesnar, Rusev and Reigns getting suspended for wellness violation. Right?

and Sasha

 

[Caderfix]

Both got popped

And so did Lana and the fish.

 

[BigSoftieFF]

Randy was probably cool with it.

If so then I would consider it planned, if not my sentiments are fuck him.

 

[Pikma]

So all this means is that Orton, Lesnar, Rusev and Reigns getting suspended for wellness violation. Right?

Lana too

 

[Nameless]

Thank god Goldberg wasnt involved. Nobody needs to see that shit in 2016.

This. The execution of the ending could've of been better(liked the overall direction, though) but fucking Goldberg wasn't the answer.

 

[Dark Ninja]

So all this means is that Orton, Lesnar, Rusev and Reigns getting suspended for wellness violation. Right?

Shane O Mac and The Universal Title too

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Brock ought to be popped for obtaining Randy's juice.

I could totally buy into a gimmick where Lesnar drinks the blood of his victims.

 

[serenewarfare]

Sasha vs Charlotte was imo did of the night itade no sense for Sasha to lose her first big ppb match.

Wasn't her first big PPV match. She's established and the fans like her a lot. It makes sense for her and Charlotte to trade wins for a bit. Makes them seem like even competitors and keeps the feud going, which gives them more time to build other women (like Nia) for a shot after these two are done.

 

[Ithil]

I wish Brock would have a match like he did with Cena in 2012 (without the Cena winninglol part). Now that looked like a real beatdown without getting into the boring suplex spam part.

 

[blackaroni]

Y'all forgot about Rollins losing to Finn already? Rollins is #popped.

 

[Pikma]

We all got #Popped tonight, folks.

See you tomorrow.

More like a month, you're not getting out of this one that easily, boy

 

[Ninja Scooter]

So who is getting suspended tomorrow? So far the list is:
Sasha
Brock
Seth
Randy
Rusev
Cena
Big E
Slater

#BloodyMonday

 

[Hidden One]

Ooo.

 

[KingBroly]

There's a picture of Orton's cut on twitter. It looks like a butt. That was a legit elbow.

 

[MassiveNights]

You foos are kidding if you don't think Randy and Brock went over exactly what they were going to do start to finish. They're both veterans of this game.

I agree the plan was to throw stiff elbows at the end but I don't think Randy planned to get so fucked up. Those are the risks though.

 

[Pikma]

So who is getting suspended tomorrow? So far the list is:
Sasha
Brock
Randy
Rusev
Cena
Big E
Slater

#BloodyMonday

You're forgetting Cesaro

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

I just realized that the top two matches on the card were short with non-finishes. They could have at least done the Roman Reigns angle earlier so it wouldn't be two in a row.

 

[cLOUDo]

if everything was real, Orton should be Salty as hell
lmao

 

[Intheflorsh]

Enzo and Cass too

 

[abstract alien]

Why is Sasha getting suspended?

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

Seriously, Lesnar vs Orton only had to do one thing. Just one thing. An F5 reversed in to an RKO. That was all I wanted. That was all the match needed and they couldn't even deliver that. Fuck everything.

 

[KingBroly]

So who is getting suspended tomorrow? So far the list is:
Sasha
Brock
Seth
Randy
Rusev
Cena
Big E
Slater

#BloodyMonday

Slater can't get popped as he's not a full time performer

 

[blackaroni]

if everything was real, Orton should be Salty as hell
lmao

Salty for not protecting his head?

 

[serenewarfare]

That new title belt better get popped.

 

[ratcliffja]

Why is Sasha getting suspended?

He's being facetious. Wade Keller reported running that she's likely taking some time off due to an injury but that she shouldn't be out too long.

 

[Limit]

That Brock vs. Orton finish would have made more sense if Orton RKOd Brock out of nowhere and pinned him, resulting in Brock going ham on him. Right now it's just a suspension angle and Orton got nothing out of this. Appreciate the unexpected ending nevertheless. Better than a dozen suplexes followed by 4 F5s.
