I'd mark out if HHH busted out his old gold tights he were in 2001 or the colored (red, purple, or blue) tights he wore in 2003.

This isn't most of the world, this is TPWW on the night of SummerSlam.

Yeah!!! Most people in the world would say HHH is more important than Kobe Bryant! Yeah!:nono:

Also, fuck basketball. Basketball is just there so the niggers have something to do other than commit crimes until summer and football season.

Oh hey, a double submission in a triple threat. They haven't done that in a decade or so.

I am surprised WWE hasn't taken a "risk" and booked SummerSlam at a stadium again. I hate that it is in L.A. every year.

I agree with you, James. It would be awesome to see a SummerSlam in a Stadium again.

[Cool King]

YES!

I nailed that one on Tipsters!

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

RESPECT CM PUNK!

[James Steele]

Isn't Kevin Rudolph supposed to kill the hot crowd with a live performance of the SummerSlam theme song "Don't Give Up"?

[Emperor Smeat]

Great match.

[el bobbo]

You know Cena's gonna get a rematch.

ROFL, Cena's STF was fucking useless in that. The dreaded CENATION FOREHEAD HOLD!

[el bobbo]

Punk better win this. This feud is just... Punk is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay up here, and Cena/Show are just... kinda there. I'm so bored of both of them. Give Punk something better to do.
crossrine

Totally agreed.

[James Steele]

You know Cena's gonna get a rematch.

I don't mind. CM Punk/John Cena work extremely well together and bring out the best in each other and the crowd.

Lawler/Punk at NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS? Lawler is really going out of his way to talk bad about CM Punk, and usually that leads to a random match for Lawler.

Haha, I do say nigga, I guess, just as a joke, but that word with the -er ending is a racial slur.. Anyway, doesn't matter. Why is Kevin Rudolf performing live...

Kevin Rudolf and his eleven chins are out to perform this terrible song

This is a catchy fucking song. They need to stop with the stupid turntables and douchebag DJ.

and not a single fuck was given by the audience

[James Steele]

Sammy, "nigga" and "nigger" are no different. You can't pick and choose when a loaded word with centuries of blood and tears attached to it have powers to hurt people. Either it is offensive or it is not.

Randomly checked Twitter just to see this whole "Twitter War" Cole kept mentioning ... turns out there is none unless you count the single tweet that Tyson responded to or the 4 tweets combined from both guys.

[James Steele]

And the WWE Title STILL isn't on last...

...and if it was you'd bitch about Cena hogging the main event. Brock/HHH is clearly the biggest match on the card and so it goes on last. WWE has learned its lesson from the past and no longer puts title match on last just because of tradition. Rock/Hogan (WMX8) and HBK/Taker (WM25) should have gone on last, but they didn't and the title matches suffered as a result.

Where is Herb Dean and Bruce Buffer for this? :shifty:

YOU TAPPED OUT CHANTS LOLZ

[Emperor Smeat]

Great ppv.

Brock needed that win and while I think the fight against Cena was more brutal, Triple H is a lot better at selling an injury which is going to make Lesnar seem like an even bigger beast. :lol: at Heyman jumping all over the place every time the Kimoura Lock was applied.

Damn, now you are resorting to less-wordy versions of Heyman's insults. I enjoy professional wrestling and also enjoy having fun bullshitting around on TPWW. I am a fan of Triple H, but I engage in posting hyperbole on TPWW because it is humorous and just posting "that was a good match" or "I enjoyed this week's episode of RAW" is rather boring. Also, I have never been to a wrestling convention and do not have any posters in my room.

[James Steele]

I will admit to having a Trish Stratus and Lita poster when I was in middle school.

[Team Sheep]

Great show. My only gripe was that the WWE title match could have been longer. Expected a bit more from that. And that song and dancing was just painful. Otherwise, solid card from top to bottom.

[James Steele]

At least WWE learned from the Kid Rock debacle and only does 1 song for these performances now.

SammyG, as a proverbial "olive branch", I would like to let you know that we are both fans of Sam Bradford. As an Oklahoma Sooners fan, I want Sam Bradford to succeed in the NFL as I feel he is a positive role model for all people and especially for the population of Native Americans that struggle greatly day-to-day in Oklahoma and throughout the United States. Tim Tebow is nice and all, but there should be more positive role models out there who do not throw their agenda/religion/etc. in your face constantly. Sam Bradford has done work with faith-based organizations, but it doesn't define him. He is simply a good dude who worked hard and now has an opportunity to achieve his wildest dreams.

[Lock Jaw]

Pretty good show. Some solid matches.

No idea why Cena, instead of breaking up the submission in a triple threat match, would just put on one of his own, and then act like he should have won when Show tapped. If anything, ref should have said Cena lost "due to stupidity" and then the match would not have to have been restarted.

I'd argue that Cena dry-humping Big Show's leg and massaging his forehead isn't a submission and therefore CM Punk wins.

Kinda giggled when Cena had Big Show in the STF and Big Show picked Cena up on his back and Cena had to change his grip to hold on because he doesn't hold on when he does the move.

[Vastardikai]

My issue is that the biggest story should revolve around the belt. I don't care if it's Cena or Daniel Bryan or Danshoku Dino. It's the most important prize in the business, and it should be treated as such.

[road doggy dogg]

I think they gave the title match due justice imo. Even if it's not the headliner, it wasn't exactly an afterthought.
crossrine

[James Steele]

My issue is that the biggest story should revolve around the belt. I don't care if it's Cena or Daniel Bryan or Danshoku Dino. It's the most important prize in the business, and it should be treated as such.

Did it upset you this much when Undertaker/HBK went on after Edge/Jericho and Cena/Batista at WrestleMania XXVI? Was it all that offensive when Bulldog/Hart headlined over Savage/Warrior at SummerSlam 92? There are situations/matches/etc. where the World Title match isn't the biggest thing on the card. You risk hurting those title matches because the crowd won't give a shit (or as much) once the main attraction has happened. While I agree World Title matches shouldn't be the first match on the card most of the time, wrestling has evolved past simple premises like that. Rock/Hogan would have been just as amazing if it went on last instead of HHH/Jericho, and HHH/Jericho would have been much better if it had went on before just because of the crowd energy.

[James Steele]

Also, this all works perfectly with the CM Punk "Respect the Champion" storyline. While a lot of people here think WWE is the drizzling shits currently, I think it is pretty damn good. The undercard is developing and has minor storylines (despite what people claim) they just haven't been getting enough TV time and that will improve as WWE continues to run 3 hour RAWs.

[Lock Jaw]

I'd argue that Cena dry-humping Big Show's leg and massaging his forehead isn't a submission and therefore CM Punk wins.

That too. You can't hook it in "properly", your opponent already has a submission on him.... BREAK THE HOLD. Don't try your own move.

[James Steele]

I'd have marked out if Cena busted out the Figure 4 (if he did it right).

SummerSlam FunFact: According to Wikipedia, the Randy Savage/Ultimate Warrior match was longer than the British Bulldog/Bret Hart match at SummerSlam 1992.

Obviously a badass.

Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst was escorted from the Staples Center, the site of tonight’s WWE Summerslam pay-per-view event after he “flipped the bird” on-screen, prior to the Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar match, which main evented the show.

Durst co-operated with those who escorted him from the building, however many feel following his actions, he probably won’t be seen on WWE television/pay-per-view alongside other celebrities anytime soon.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Really good show overall. Everything before the Kevin Rudolf bit was good to great.

Main event was a bit of a letdown though. The ending was fun but it just dragged massively at times and didn't feel like the brutal fight that I was expecting it to be going in. Of course this isn't it for Triple H. I'm expecting a rematch at Survivor Series or the Rumble.</font>

[Cool King]

I'm pretty sure it's a rumour though.

If we learned anything tonight, it's that Brock Lesnar can still have a damn good match. Actually, after his time in UFC and his previous experience wrestling for the WWE, I think he's capable of having his best matches.

[Cool King]

It is a rumour.

This is from Durst's Twitter account.

Here is how the Fred Durst appearance will look on the DVD release:

The video wouldn't embed and kept fucking up, so the link is there instead.

[James Steele]

I also was suprised the Brock/HHH match wasn't more "brutal", but I guess they thought since Triple H can actually sell unlike John Cena that they didn't have to bust him open or anything.

[Keith]

Brock's match with Triple H didn't have to be as brutal as the one with John Cena because in this instance there was more of a story in the lead-up to the match.

Also, Hunter is a legend, so the mere fact of seeing Brock manhandling him was enough.

Jesse Ventura there on the left.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I thought that was The Boogie Woogie Man.

[Keith]

The girl behind Fred (in the white t-shirt), is she a celebrity or just a really hot fan?

I'm not really in the know when it comes to celebrities, that's why I ask.

Maria Menounous. They showed her on cam too. Wearing a Bob Backlund shirt and Lawler wondered if it was Patt Patterson.

That is all kinds of awesome that Maria Menounous wore a Bob Backlund t-shirt.

[James Steele]

I'd mark out if WWE started using Jim Duggan for censoring.

[Cool King]

I'll see your Sin Cara and raise you a Booker T.

I wonder if she knows who he is.

You know, aside from "He's an old, crazy wrestler".

[James Steele]

Is she from New York? Bob Backlund was a huge star in the old WWWF, but he is definitely someone who could be considered a very very obscure reference.

[Lock Jaw]

Pffft. That's not a raise. Jim Duggan, now that was a raise. Kudos Mr. Steele.

[Keith]

She probably remembers him from when he was "running for President" and when he showed up on MTV's "Spring Break".

Maria is from Massachusetts...Boston area I believe.

Those who don't recognize Maria Menounos obviously don't watch the product because...ahem... she's had several matches already, including a Wrestlemania spot. And she's a better worker than 90% of their current female roster.

Dude, talk to me. I was the one who asked who "that girl in the white t-shirt was". Don't go all "Those who don't..."

I watch, but I don't pay attention to Divas matches.

Or celebrity appearances.

Report: Fred Durst Escorted Out Of WWE SummerSlam

http://www.tpww.net/2012/08/report-fred-durst-escorted-out-of-wwe-summerslam/



Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst was escorted out of the STAPLES Center in Los Angeles, California, the venue for WWE’s SummerSlam pay-per-view event Sunday night, after flipping the bird while being shown on camera prior to the main event match-up between Brock Lesnar and Triple H.

Durst, however, is denying rumors that he was kicked out of the venue. He wrote on Twitter, “I was leaving to beat the traffic! Haha, security escorting me out?? WWE is family. hahaha. Is this really a rumor? Amazing. My boys at WWE are cracking up! Note- never leave early to beat traffic!”

The message was quickly deleted.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I would have scored so fucking much in Tipsters, but then I realised that I had too many faces winning and changed a lot of them. All the wrong ones.

[Tazz Dan]

Not sure if it was mentioned, but apart from the tag match, every other person wrestling on the card was a former/current WWE or WHC.

[Autobahn]

You know... I hated this whole 'respect' angle for Punk and saw it as a step down, as he just comes off as whiney heel #3254.

Then he goes out rocking the Bret Hart attire, complete with belt kiss.

Fucking hate him for making me like him so much now.

[Shadrick]

I doubt he was kicked out. I was at Raw in Atlanta a few months ago in the 4th row, and in the front row was this massive black guy with his wife. No idea who he was but fans kept approaching him for autographs and pictures throughout the night and he had a security guy sitting next to him. I assume he was probably an Atlanta Falcon or something. Anyway, just before the main event of the show happened (the Rock and Cena showdown) he and his wife got up and left. Probably to avoid the rush and the attention of the crowd at the end of the show. So yeah I bet celebrities leave early all the time. It's pretty shocking that they'd make the effort to go there and not even see the main feature though.

[Cool King]

Maybe he was going backstage to meet some of the roster?

Same can be said for Durst.

[Big Vic]

In my book Dolph was still never WHC

CM Punk wearing gear based on Bret Hart's tights was awesome.

A nice nod to the fact that it was the 20th anniversary of Bret's Summerslam match vs The British Bulldog at Wembley Stadium.

Lawler: "Is that Pat Patterson on her shirt?!"

[Keith]

No, 'cause Pat Patterson wouldn't be so close to a woman. Especially her behind.

What was this wanky Triple H ending?

[PorkSoda]

Is there no Raw thread for tonight?

[Poit]

In my book Dolph was still never WHC

However, he has been recognized on-air as both a former WHC and as a Triple Crown Champion.

[Rollermacka]

Still to this day whenever I hear the "Woo Woo Woo" at the beginning of Ryder's theme song I think of this

[Rollermacka]

Well here we go, now its a tag match full of Vanilla Midgets :shifty:

[The Rogerer]

Why did we have to watch Triple H hobble out of the ring and completely kill the end of the show? Were we supposed to feel for his arrogant, burning regret about the strength of his bones?
