even the rumored Kane interference to help Taker win would have been better than that. And that's saying something.

I am just flabbergasted at this ending.
They've protected Lesnar for THREE YEARS, and gave him the TURBO RUB by breaking the streak. That rub... goes to the Undertaker... with a clusterfuck finish? How does anyone decide that's a good idea? |

Ending sucked but at least Lesnar didn't actually tap. Match was a lot better than I expected though.

Nice try going very un-PG to try to distract from it... But... the streak was used to put over a guy so he could split a feud with Taker. lol

Really hope that low blow spot wasn't what was rumored as WWE's plan to make Taker seem heel to the crowd. Crowd lost a lot of interest once the "screwjob" happened.

Up next is the main event, Brock Lesnar vs the Undertaker. This is a pretty big match, it is a rematch of Wrestlemania from two years ago. There are 40 minutes left in the show, which would be a long match, but Undertaker always takes like 20 minutes to make his fucking entrance. Brock Lesnar’s music hits and he comes out with Paul Heyman, hops around on the ramp and HIS FUCKING PYRO DOESN’T GO OFF. What the fuck is this. It’s mother fucking Summer Slam, THE BIGGEST EVENT OF THE SUMMER and they fuck up the pyro, or maybe it was even intentional. He hops on the ring and the pyro comes out of the turnbuckles, at least they did that. Now the Undertaker is coming out and walking through all the fog and shit. There’s fire coming out of the ramp Nice, undertaker gets in the ring and the BEAST Brock Lesnar starts pummeling him before he even gets to take off his hat and cloak. Undertaker is wearing eyeliner tonight. Finally they’re both “poised” in the ring and referee Charles Robinson rings the bell. Brock Lesnar does that MMA thing where he does mounted punches. Undertaker gets up and goes for that Old School move where he walks on the rope, but Brock Lesnar picks up Undertaker for an F5. Undertaker gets out, goes for the chokeslam on Brock Lesnar, but Brock Lesnar gets out of the choke. He does a belly-to-belly suplex and a German suplex on the Undertaker and then yells his catchphrase, “Suplex City, bitch.” Lesnar has been hit above the eye though and is bleeding, and he is doing that thing where he is “woozy” and staggering around and stuff. They are outside the ring and Undertaker just bumps Brock Lesnar with his BUTT, then Lesnar F5’s the Undertaker through the French announcer’s table and it collapses. JBL tells us to “watch Undertaker’s ribs.” Pretty big “spot.” Undertaker slowly makes his way back into the ring, he grabs Brock Lesnar by the neck and gives him the CHOKE SLAM FROM HELL. Lesnar staggers around like Glass Joe in Mike Tyson’s Punch Out. Undertaker grabs him and gives him a Tombstone Piledriver and goes for the cover, But Brock Lesnar kicks out because it’s only 10:30, and Summer Slam is 4 hours long, not 3 and a half hours long. Brock Lesnar sits up a la the Undertaker, and he laughs. Then Undertaker does the same thing. They both look at each other and share a fleeting moment of comradery as they find humor in shared experience. They go for a hug but end up punching each other. Undertaker gives Brock Lesnar the Last Ride, but the BEAST Brock Lesnar kicks out. Brock Lesnar cleans off his face and F5’s the Undertaker. Undertaker kicks out. The fans trade chants of “Undertaker” and “Suplex City.” Another F5, another kick out. Brock Lesnar has Undertaker in the Kimora lock and the bell just rings. The ref is pissed, holy shit. Way to go ref. I guess Brock Lesnar won. But then Undertaker hits a low blow when Brock Lesnar wasn’t looking, and I guess the ref wants the match to go on, so it is, even though the bell always signifies the end of a match no matter what. LOL the Undertaker just chokes him out, and as his parting gesture, Brock Lesnar just holds up his middle finger and passes out. Undertaker wins. ROFL Winner: Undertaker Rating: B. Plus points for Blonde Referee being a badass and Lesnar middle finger. Minus points for disregarding the rules and the match ending 20 minutes before 11:00. Oh shit it’s not over though. The replay shows that Undertaker tapped out. Undertaker walks out to his music, but Paul Heyman is going over to the bell and ringing it. He is pissed. He declares Brock Lesnar the winner. The stadium plays Brock Lesnar’s music, lol. That’s the end of the show. Overall thoughts: I’m pissed because I wanted to waste 5 hours of my life watching this PPV, and it only took 4 hours 45 minutes. Didn’t enjoy the show that much but enjoyed writing to all of you who will never read this. |

So, out of ten matches - one ends in double countout, one ends with interference after a ref bump, and one ends with a missed submission and a low blow.
70% ain't bad... right? |

I think it was better than Lesnar getting pinned or submitted via interference. It was... creative at least. But still. What a waste. Taker's streak was used as the first in a "series of 3". My God. Why not do THAT in the WrestleMania match and have the rubber match be at next year's WrestleMania? lol

My first reaction was that it was awful, but can see what they are doing now. Brock now adds making taker tap to his list of firsts and there is a big question mark over the loss. The passout was not ideal but he had clearly won the match and only released the hold because the bell was rung. He is the real winner and Taker looks like he went toe to toe.
Not bad tbh. |

Overall, PPV was "okay"... didn't have the feeling or mystique of being the 2nd biggest show of the year or w/e
some good matches though but nothing I would've regretted missing |

Anyway, time to pick up where I left off in trying to watch through Nitros and dealing with it freezing every few minutes because the WWE Network barely dedicates any bandwidth to anything other than the live stream or NXT
