Re: Summerslam 08/17/14

I think that had more to do with the fact that the crowd liked her more than Brie than anything else. At one point they were chanting you still got it.

Ah, I didn't hear that chant...That kind of scares me because you KNOW how the McMahons are, give them an inch and they take a mile. I don't really want to see Steph regularly in the ring or clogging up TV time.

Re: Summerslam 08/17/14

Agreed. Cena taking the title back would completely nullify everything that happened tonight. Lesnar has to to run with the title until at least this coming WrestleMania. Personally, I'd like to see him hold it until WrestleMania XXXII; yes, the WrestleMania after this coming one. That would be a very long title reign the likes of which we haven't seen since the days of Morales and Sammartino, but it would give Reigns time to develop if he's really "the guy," and we'd get to see Lesnar kicks all kind of *** for almost two years.

There aint enough top level faces to make a title run that long intriguing. You already have pretty much run through Cena. After that you have Reigns, Orton (face turn), Sheamus, maybe Dbry if he's back healthy...but it's not likely that he's holding onto it for that long.

They need to do a picture in picture with one camera just focusing on Heyman whenever he is ringside. His facial expressions were better than the match itself

I got in late and I only saw Brock vs Cena.

Holy ****.

That is all.

In some ways, I feel Brock vs Cena was the best booked match in many years.

It was legitimately awesome to see a heel go over like that on Cena. About time.

Re: Summerslam 08/17/14

If by "light" you mean John Cena next month at the PPV, then yeah I can see that happening.

The way the hyped this match, I cant believe that it was THAT level of a squash. That alone may make this match more stunning than Taker at Mania. Lesnar needs to run this company for the next couple years after this win. Just have the intercontinental title be the main belt now. No one should touch Brock Lesnar for a long long long time.

If I was writing it, I'd have Lesner squash people in every Main Event PPV leading up to Wrestlemania.

Then I dunno, have him wrestle Bryan or something.

I thought it was a great show. As good, if not better than Wrestlemania.

Re: Summerslam 08/17/14

To be fair to Reigns, Ambrose and Rollins have been wrestling a lot longer than he has, and they're just more natural in the ring. Part of that is the experience factor. Reigns still has more to learn.

Right now, he has just looked lost since the Shield split up. It looks like he doesn't know where to go or what to do with his character since then.

Just to establish my opinion on him: I like Reigns, but I don't think his rapid ascension will do him any favors. He still needs more time, just like anyone in his position.

I still will never understand why people jump on new guys going into the main event when they bitch and moan about the same people being there over and over again, I agree with the above poster here that Ambrose and Rollins are light years ahead of Reigns, so stop comparing them all. Reigns isn't in the whole indy circuit guy like those two, he is still green and is being pushed to the moon. Basically a Batista moment when you say deal with it, it takes two to tango and Reigns with Orton did a hell of a job tonight.

Orton and Reigns definitely was a sleeper, though Orton carried the match I would say.

Wonder how much different Reigns' style would be if he was a heel.

If they let him do more moves and his type of promos are better suited for a heel, his current moveset is just so limited to 3-5 moves where they just want him to be a babyface. All he needs to do from now to Mania is hopefully not try to hard on memorizing his lines, his podcasts and non-script sessions are actually pretty good but it's once he hits the ring it isn't so great.

Stephanie with a mic is money. She doesn't need to wrestle often, but she can get heat and put people over.

I did love the crowd cheering for her and for Nicki when she turned on Brie.

I got in late and I only saw Brock vs Cena.

Holy ****.

That is all.

Watch the whole show from the kickoff. Great show top to bottom.

I'd mark if HHH goes over Brock and Steph over Paige.

I hope you're talking specifically about this match and not the 7 prior to the main event.

In my opinion, all 7 of those matches, plus the preshow match, outside of a few anti-climatic and/or predictable outcomes, they were very well done with some great spots and moments, especially the lumberjack match.

Very well done PPV overall.

Proud of my boy Orton.

I thought this whole match was excellent, especially the last 5 mins. I really thought Orton had it.

Not sure this hate on Reigns, but his moveset fits him perfectly. Slams, clotheslines, superman, finisher.

I think in a short time as a singles wrestler he has improved taking on Kane and Orton so often.
