    Re: Summerslam: 8/21/16

    Listening to the LAW a caller called in who was at the arena. Apparently Randy walked out under his own power with a legit PO'ed look on his face.

    Somewhat related but might belong in one of the other threads but apparently there's reports coming out that Sasha Banks has been dropped from all house shows over the next 30 days. It sounds like she's the next casualty of the wellness policy.

      I just don't get what you gain from continually trotting guys out there to get massacred by him. There is nobody left on the roster that I can see having a shot at beating him, so you've built up this unstoppable monster with nobody left to take him down

        Terry Funk knows how to intentionally cut someone on the eyebrows, just saying. Not saying that Brock knew how to cut him properly w/elbows but wrestlers will do crazy stuff.

            There was a tweet posted earlier saying it was to nurse some injuries she was having. And she is probably going on her honeymoon because she just married like 1 a week or 2 ago.

            Also Randy had to get 10 staples in his head. So why is willing to miss 8/9 months of work come back for a month only to get injured in his 3rd match back and miss time again?

                      Because Vince cut him a six figure check and paid for the staples?

                        Seemed like most of this PPV was...off. Almost every match had some kind of weird vibe to a couple of moves, leading into some strange and cringe-worthy botches. All of this leading into the snooze-fest of Brock Lesnar. I still wonder what Bork Lazor has to offer this company that isn't a match that puts people to sleep. Never saw what was so amazing about him over the last 3 years to be worth the hype he has now. It's like he got lucky with the Undertaker victory, so WWE decided to run with it and bore most of us to death with it.

                          It was just a weird lay out for the show. I would have closed the show with AJ/Cena or Seth/Finn. I get Brock is a special attraction but the crowning of a new champion should have been the main event. I hate the fact that the Universal Championship is exactly like the WWE Championship. I would been happier seeing the big gold belt over that. Congrats to Finn Balor for winning it. AJ Styles Vic John Cena was really awesome and I'm happy that AJ won.

                            Ended up watching it late and man 4 hours is just way too long of a show for Summerslam. Now you have to include 2 PPVs a month going forward, WWE is over exposing their talent. 4 hours is fine for Wrestlemania but not any other PPV.

                            Thoughts on Summerslam:

                            - I'm quite curious who on SD is going to end up beating Miz for the IC Title.

                            - I'm assuming Enzo/Cass get a rematch tomorrow on RAW and win because 50/50 booking.

                            - I get that Sasha is injured and is taking off to heal but why have her win the title only to lose it if she was going to take time off anyway? If they knew she was taking off, why didn't they do an injury angle the night Sasha won and had Charlotte/Dana take her out so she could rest up before Summerslam and still have her moment tonight?

                            -This is my only beef with the 6 Women Tag. Everyone knows Eva has been suspended as it has been announced days before. Yet they cue her music and have the voice intro guy say she's on vacation? Roman got the star treatment and wasn't taken out of the Triple Threat(yes I know he lost and stuff as punishment) after his suspension was announced. They REMOVE Eva from this match and then play her music and cover it up with "vacation"? So WWE's Drug test Policy = No Punishment if your a star and are liked by the upper management.

                            - I love the New Day as much as anyone but they need to lose the titles. Their title run has gotten stale and The Club was perfect opponents to drop the titles to. DQ with Big E made no sense, because 50/50 booking I can see The Club winning the titles on RAW tomorrow to set up a 3rd match on the RAW only PPV.

                            - Cena vs Styles stole the show.... enough said. Though it was interesting that Cena left an armband in the ring, going away again?

                            - Sucks that Dolph was just someone to ensure Dean could keep the title while prepping AJ for the first SD only PPV.

                            - Happy for Finn but why is WWE making all the titles look the same all of a sudden?

                            - Don't know why they did what they did with Roman/Rusev. Guess Roman's punishment is over and he's being made to look strong again. It was unfortunate timing with his suspension as he was putting on great matches as Champion and they did a great job rebuilding him with this Rusev feud and the no contest didn't help.

                            - Blood in wrestling works when we don't see it all the time and it is done for special matches. Truly think Brock was supposed to do that as the finish with a TKO win but he went too far legit busted Randy open. Then Brock kept going and kept beating at him instead of Shane coming out and going right into the F5 spot. I think Brock beating him up continuously and not stopping so Shane could come out delayed it a bit.

                              Lol at somehow turning Eva Marie's wellness violation into an anti-Reigns thing. I mean...how?

                              You can't assume everybody watching keeps up on suspensions. Eva Marie was advertised to be in a match, her violation came up after TV for the week, and they needed to explain to the broader audience why someone promoted for the event wouldn't be on the card. It just kind of fell into their lap that it fits perfectly with the storyline they had going for her anyway.

                                I'm growing tiresome of the Brock beatdowns however I enjoyed the TKO finish to the match and I will watch with glee when Shane, just like our wrestling lord and savior Based Haitch, goes through martyrdom and becomes patron saint of Smackdown.

                                With that being said, if they were going to do that finish then it proves right my belief of Brock vs Orton being the wrong match to end the show. They should've main evented w/the Finn vs Seth match.
