Well at least the show that was too big for 'Mania was every bit as mediocre as it was expected to be...
GREAT JOB convincing new subscribers to keep them beyond next Monday, WWE. |

I think I'd be more okay with the ending without the bell ring.
If Lesnar felt him tap and get up and celebrated and we still got to the same ending with the referee waving him off, etc. it wouldn't seem as stupid. I'd still think it was a bad ending, but it would seem slightly less awful. At least we had Takeover. Now I'm going to go play Dying Light with GIF Girl. |

At least Brock didn't lose clean. They can still use the first guy to beat Brock cleanly as a huge rub to an up and comer.

WWE really needs to get rid of their bad habit of souring main events matches that are great or even better than expected with anti-climatic finishes. The crowd got really deflated once the "screwjob"-like moment happened. |

Ryback is currently the most over champion in WWE.
So we got that out of it. Also Taker's retard laugh. |

Here we are....back in wrestling purgatory where nothing new and interesting is happening....just controversial finishes to protect everyone and spinning wheels.

This match was "too big for WrestleMania". The rematch where we'll actually get a real finish will happen at WrestleMania.

As a self-admitted Sting mark the one thing I like about Lesnar/Taker III at WM32 is that Taker/Sting probably won't happen. That might have been the "dream match" for years but once Sting did the job in his only WWE match I didn't really want to see him end up 0-2 in his WWE career. Plus both guys are old as fuck anyway.
Of course, I'm struggling to think of a match he can be in at WM 32 where it actually makes any sense for him to win so it's probably moot. |

I liked it more with the bell then if Brock Lesnar would have broken the hold without any bell.

Of course they can't just be a flat out jobber. I don't know. If Stardust doesn't take steps up from where he is now, he might be a decent candidate. A loss to Sting and then a face turn where he's mentored by him could work. |

Did Amell get that bruise from the match or prior. Only paid attention to it at the end of the match. |

I see a slight rope burn and a bunch of face paint from Stardust. Maybe a bruise on a his shoulder, but that could be paint too. Nice job tonight though.

There was a rumor going around that they'd bring Sting in to do a Reigns, Ambrose, and Sting match vs. The Wyatts once Rowan is back. Stardust interaction seems way more interesting. |

If you do, can you please go back in time and do it before I watched SummerSlam? I will die much happier.

A tag match could also work. I don't think anyone's gonna be too upset if his "feel good WWE moment" comes in a tag match and it wouldn't hurt the guy(s) he beats too bad. But if they go singles, there's a very specific group of guys that would work. Could do wonders for Stardust in theory. Cody's brilliant and Sting beating him by a hair and then joining him in a "We all go a little crazy sometimes. Let me tell you about the time all my friends turned on me and thought I joined the NWO..." mentor situation would be cool.

What a blah show. Especially after what was an amazing NXT special that was far and away better than Summer Slam.
The main event was actually great, a lot better than anything I'd expected. Except for that shitty finish. Taker tapping out to lose would've been so much more interesting for his character at this point in his career and would've further cemented Brock as the fucking man. Instead, we get this "controversial" bs finish by submission, even though I don't recall Brock submitting, and now they've wasted beating to streak to trade a win back to the Undertaker. Seems like a waste. Who was it saying that Summer Slam wasn't going to be automatically lesser than NXT? Far and away it was the inferior show. What sayeth you now? |

Didn't even read the results for what I missed in the first half until now. So Bray Wyatt got ass raped? Well that's cool. He'll just cut an ominous promo tomorrow night and we'll all pretend he's still a remote threat, right?

By a fucking mile. Summer Slam was the B show this weekend.
The divas match tonight was also a fucking joke. In no way was it any more identifiable than the other diva matches they've been putting on the past decade or so. So much for a revolution. |

I also wonder what the feeling is backstage right now. Only an idiot would willingly believe NXT didn't steal the weekend and essentially out sports entertain the big league club.
I'm curious if anyone, more importantly Vince, took notice that of two sold out shows this weekend, the one billed as the future was far better than the main show in a not very close race. |
