[Mr. Nerfect]

Seth is going to be booed. I think they’re just going to plow through and give him the win and act like he’s still got hope as a babyface.

Smart thing to do would be have Becky talk to Seth backstage at some point, but he tells her to shit up because he’s focusing and tonight is about him. Embrace the fans relishing the ass-kicking Brock hands him, and turn the big man face and stop the narrative that we shouldn’t like him being champ.

[RP]

Or maybe he could slap Becky and call her a stupid bitch.

Tomorrow has a $500 contest for SummerSlam predictions. They usually do sports but have also done reality TV and might do more wrestling in the future. The reward is a free pass on a question to get points whether you get the question right or not

[Droford]

Only match I'm even remotely interested in is Kofi/Ortton which coincidentally had like the least build to it of all.everything else feels predictable (or spoiled) or just pointless.

[Triple A]

any1 here gonna watch SummerSlam

[XL]

Not watching live.

[Sepholio]

I'll prob watch, nothing better to do tbh. Figure since this is supposedly the last night before they go hard in their new direction that there may at least be a couple surprises. Also want to see how they book Bray.

[Jordan]

I am going to watch. Provided the Network streams properly.

[Jordan]

I have a new sig now courtesy of FIGNUTS

[Jordan]

Good thing I have sigs disabled cause I'd get a bone looking at my own sig!

[Jordan]

Nobody bought tickets!

[Jordan]

Daivd Otunga just said he's main evented a Summerslam.

[Jordan]

It is true sure but... fuck.

[Jordan]

I guess the matches I look forward to the most are Owens and McMahon, Goldberg and Dolph, Orton and Kofi plus whatever Roman is doing.

[Jordan]

I feel like I'm at the party but everyone is eating but I'm not so I'm talking a lot.

[RP]

I cant believe David Otunga would be proud of that.

[Jordan]

I have been smoking a nice Platinum Kush today but now switching to a more uplifting Eden Cookie to stay awake through this process that we will go through together.

[Jordan]

I have had more issues with WWE Network in the past two days than combined the entire time it's been live. SMH

[RP]

I feel like I'm at the party but everyone is eating but I'm not so I'm talking a lot.

You know what would get this party started?

[DaveWadding]

I have a conspiracy theory that Owens is losing tonight and will end up fighting for the NXT Championship.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Could you imagine Ziggler beating Goldberg?

[Droford]

I cant believe David Otunga would be proud of that.

I was going to say the only other thing about him he could brag about was he was married to Jenifer Hudson bit he isn't anymore so..

I have a conspiracy theory that Owens is losing tonight and will end up fighting Adam Cole for the NXT Championship.

I can see that taking place in a conspiracy theory sort of way.

[DaveWadding]

Tbh, I want to see KO/Sami vs. DIY at some point.

[Jordan]

JBL annoys me so much.

I know Gulak and Orken are good, but they have to do something with the ring attire to make these guys stand out a bit more. I cant take Gulak seriously without knee pads. He just looks odd. I dont usually notice but with Gulak, I actually feel like i'm watching a guy wrestle in his tighty whities.

[KIRA]

JBL side profile starting to look like Vince
Its creepy

[RP]

Maybe Gulak needs to focus more on leg workouts.

What if Buddy Murphy actually broke up with Alexa Bliss?

[RP]

Buddy Murphy was actually pulling a great match out of Apollo before Rowan interfered.

[GD]

Oh my! Could it be? It's the Rated R Soooooooooooooooooooooooooopa-star!

[RP]

EDGE IS BACK! EDGE VS ELIAS! HOLY SHIT HE'S MAKING A COME BACK!

[GD]

Did they just let Edge do some physicality?

[GD]

Looks like Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross are going to defend their straps on the pre-show. Too many heels in this match.

Not looking forward to Natalya Snorehart vs Bex or Seth vs Brock at all

Just tuned in, what matches were on the pre-show besides the Cruiser title?

And Women's tag title now.

really hate the dumbass spot where natalya runs over her opponent while they are the ground, she always looks awkward during it


Surprised wwe hasn't 'fired her ass' for bringing nothing to WWE in a decade of being there! Ditto for Tamina!

Buddy vs Apollo sounds like the most random PPV match in years.

Did Edge's spear look as bad as usual?

[GD]

I have not missed Corey Graves.

[slik]

Slik, are you seriously comparing Natalya to Tamina?

There is no difference to me!

Both boring af!!

[DaveWadding]

Alexa Bliss was falling with style.

[RP]

Alexa looks like she has the tightest vag ever.

[slik]

Corey Graves has been really unbearable on commentary during the kick-off show

[slik]

Maybe KO gets pinned by Shane and then KO gets sent to NXT to feud with Adam Cole?

[Triple A]

big fan of Lawler's dumb ass jokes tbh... wish he was on commentary...

[Droford]

I will say for right now (knock on digital wood) the PQ for the preshow is great for me. I dont have a really fast connection but I can usually stream stuff of Amazon in HD but in the past live WWE PPVs have been watchable but nothing close to HD

[xrodmuc316]

As much as I want a good Summerslam, I hope they have a massive failure with the Network tonight.

It's the only thing that will make Vince fix this shut pixelated garbage new service

[DaveWadding]

I have a conspiracy theory that Owens is losing tonight and will end up fighting for the NXT Championship.

Maybe KO gets pinned by Shane and then KO gets sent to NXT to feud with Adam Cole?

The only time they are ever ok is when there is the built in storyline of one of the people not having submission moves.

Example, if Daniel Bryan got to pick the stipulation against say Roman Reigns. Makes it interesting in the sense of what will Roman have to do?

A submission match with 2 people who win 95% of the time with a submission, well that's just stupid.

Edit: so I'm the exact opposite of Droford on this subject lol

[Droford]

No LED ring apron tonight

Hmmmmmmmm

They had a cage match last night probably no time to switch it in

[KIRA]

Natalya do it for 2paws!

Spoiler: Roman wins with the big dawg crossface or some terrible looking variation of Daniel Bryans hold

[xrodmuc316]

No LED ring apron tonight

Hmmmmmmmm

Hornswoggle run in on Brock tonight!

[Emperor Smeat]

Match has been pretty average in terms of PPV opener status but on the bright side, its also been way less annoying than past submission matches in recent years. No constantly annoying ref on the mic every time a hold is done.

[xrodmuc316]

Lol@ big dawg crossface, can already hear Cole's excited voice screaming that!

[xrodmuc316]

That's an "I Quit" match, which adds the extra humiliation of having to say it aloud instead of tapping on the mat lol

[slik]

Much better than I expected and the right woman won

Back to catering Fattie Snorehart!

[Droford]

I feel like becky was supposed to grab something from under the ring to break the sharpshooter and she couldnt reach

[RP]

Becky survived all the baby farts Natayla was letting out in the ring.

[xrodmuc316]

Holy boobs Trish!

[GD]

Never mind, those are just her boobs

[Droford]

getting goldberg out of the way early

[teamXtremist]

THis match is sooo meh

[Droford]

This has to end with dolph beating legends up to him vs HBK at mania

[Sepholio]

Alright here we go. Fuck all the haters I still love me some Ziggles.

[My Final Heaven]

Thank god. It's logic, Becky would the mountain, get the first W over Ronda, turn back Lacey repeatedly despite the odds being stacked against her... aaand her run ends because it's Natalya & lolitsincanada. :nono:

[Sepholio]

This has to end with dolph beating legends up to him vs HBK at mania

I would be completely fine with this.

[Triple A]

Feeling very grateful that they cut like 4-5 matches from the originally planned card...

[Emperor Smeat]

Seems a bit odd having Goldberg vs Ziggy be on this early.


That's an "I Quit" match, which adds the extra humiliation of having to say it aloud instead of tapping on the mat lol
Yeah, your right.

Been feeling out of it for most of the day and already managed to mess up twice soo far in this thread.

[Sepholio]

Is that bray wyatt in the mask all over zigglers tights?

[Sepholio]

oh nah its a skull with long hair. nvm.

[teamXtremist]

Rip ziggler

[Sepholio]

OLDBERG

[Droford]

capt greybeard

[Triple A]

your next,,

[teamXtremist]

No sell bill

[Droford]

shocking

[Sepholio]

wtf was the point of that?

[GD]

Nice and simple. Predictable isn't always bad.

[Jordan]

Nicely done!

[Emperor Smeat]

That was an amazing spear by Goldberg.

[GD]

wtf was the point of that?

Redemption for his bad showing against Taker.

[teamXtremist]

wtf was the point of that?


Feed goldberg

[Sepholio]

If you add up Goldbergs lack of selling and Zigglers overselling then you end up with the right amount of selling.

[Droford]

nice to do 2 moves and get paid lots of money

[My Final Heaven]

shocking

[Droford]

dolph said dipshit the muted it but still captioned it

[RP]

So what's the point of the Goldberg vs Dolph match?

[Droford]

make that 3 moves

[KIRA]

Seeing a ninety-year-old Goldberg beat Dolph Ziggler versus just makes me want AEW to come that much faster

[Emperor Smeat]

Ziggy gave a way better post-beating promo than the wet fart of a promo by Rollins last week.

[teamXtremist]

Shades of jeff hardy vs taker

[slik]

Dolph sold that spear fantastically

[GD]

I think I am in love with Dolph's new gimmick.

[Sepholio]

Dolph needs to get up and kill him lol

[Droford]

lol really

[GD]

Shades of jeff hardy vs taker

Not even close :lol:

[Droford]

Dolph needs to get up and kill him lol

he needs to go under the ring and get a taser

[Jordan]

OH damn what a spear!

[Triple A]

lol I'm liking this tbh

[teamXtremist]

So what's the point of the Goldberg vs Dolph match?

To feed goldbergs ego after the saudia Arabia debacle

[Droford]

goldberg vs Roman in a spearoff

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Ziggy still taunting Goldberg and getting beaten up once again.

[Sepholio]

That last sell of the spear lmao

[GD]

Xavier Woods' hair :lol:

[Jordan]

I liked that whole segment, that went very well. Goldberg was like Bruch Willis from Die Hard. Bad fucking ass.

[Droford]

lol wtf xavier

[Jordan]

LOL Drake haha wonderful trick to the crowd for a sec.

[Droford]

lol

[teamXtremist]

Rockstar!

[Jordan]

I've been waiting for the "wow that was what we've been waiting for" Styles and Ricochet match.

[teamXtremist]

Here comes 1finger only

[Sepholio]

Oh yeah this is one of the matches me waaaan see most. Gonna spark up a tater of some nice sundae driver.

[Sepholio]

I've been waiting for the "wow that was what we've been waiting for" Styles and Ricochet match.

Indeed.

[Jordan]

Here comes 1finger only

Not likely. I did watch the video in full completion all the way from the beginning of it to the finish which could have and likely was more than one finger fishin for cheese.

[Sepholio]

You know Ricochet is the rare example of them doing right by an NXT call up.

[Jordan]

You know Ricochet is the rare example of them doing right by an NXT call up.

Yeah true but when are we gonna talk about the fact that the Doc's contract is gonna last a whole lot longer than his wheels brother.

[Sepholio]

Ricochet should make gallows or anderson smell his finger if they interfere.

[Jordan]

He went full Black Panther, wow.

[Jordan]

Ricochet should make gallows or anderson smell his finger if they interfere.

It's a good idea.

[Sepholio]

Yeah true but when are we gonna talk about the fact that the Doc's contract is gonna last a whole lot longer than his wheels brother.

We don't talk about that. Ever.

[Black Widow]

So what's the point of the Goldberg vs Dolph match?To make me laugh at cheap Shawn Michaels ripoff getting embarrassed by someone I actually like

[Droford]

I cant see AJ losing the belt back after G&A won the tag belts

oh my god lol

[Jordan]

"Welcome to the party of the Winta" lmao Truth is G O L D

[Sepholio]

LOL TRRRRRUUUUUUUTTTHHHHHH

[GD]

Truth and Carmella :lol:

[slik]

Dolph vs Goldberg was fun IMO

[GD]

The OC looking mighty foine!

[Sepholio]

What did the Japanese writing behind the OC logo say? Anyone know?

[Droford]

OC needs a theme for the group

[Black Widow]

Dolph vs Goldberg was fun IMOAgree

[slik]

GO by the Black Keys...have been trying to figure out the name of the SummerSlam theme song

[GD]

My stream rewinds a few seconds and then skips. Very frustrating.

[Jordan]

AJ Walking out like a legit boss tonight.

[Droford]

What did the Japanese writing behind the OC logo say? Anyone know?

fuck the bullet club

[xrodmuc316]

What is Ricochet wearing?

[rez]

Fuck yeah. Go AJ. WTF is Ricochet wearing?

[Sepholio]

Ricochets costume is objectively equally as awful as Gallows stealing Konnors face paint. And both of them are horrendous.

[Jordan]

My stream rewinds a few seconds and then skips. Very frustrating.

How are you watching?

I am watching via XBox app and it's perfect. Last night I couldn't cast it at all from my phone app or if I got the browser to work on my laptop the audio was off.

[Simple Fan]

What is Ricochet wearing?

Looks like a Nightwing cosplay.

[teamXtremist]

My stream rewinds a few seconds and then skips. Very frustrating.



Ive had constant buffering and freezing :mad:

[Droford]

clearly building to Ricochet vs Ali

[Jordan]

I'm already getting "a feeling" about this match. I know we got some hating on Ricochet and it is stupid but so is Jushin Liger but it's also awesome right? That's what is going on with Ricochet right now.

[GD]

How are you watching?

I am watching via XBox app and it's perfect. Last night I couldn't cast it at all from my phone app or if I got the browser to work on my laptop the audio was off.

PS4. Might change to Chrome on my laptop.

[Jordan]

PS4. Might change to Chrome on my laptop.

Damn that is very concerning I'm sure that is usually a solid way to stream.

[Sepholio]

PS4. Might change to Chrome on my laptop.

I haven't had a single issue on chrome on my desktop. Resolution is high and not so much as a single hiccup in the stream. And I'm on a fairly shitty connection atm too.

[GD]

Ricochets costume is objectively equally as awful as Gallows stealing Konnors face paint. And both of them are horrendous.

As far as I know, Gallows has been doing face paint since he was in Japan. Might be the first time in the WWE.

[Jordan]

Oh man that one leg springboard was a thing of beauty in more ways than one.

[RP]

Ricochet is wearing his Finger Blaster outfit

[Sepholio]

Damn that is very concerning I'm sure that is usually a solid way to stream.

Yeah normally PS4 is fine.

[Droford]

one leg off the top..wow

[Sepholio]

As far as I know, Gallows has been doing face paint since he was in Japan. Might be the first time in the WWE.

I know he has before it's just the exact same paint Konnor does with the Ascension.

[Emperor Smeat]

Ricochets costume is objectively equally as awful as Gallows stealing Konnors face paint. And both of them are horrendous.

Looks like he is cosplaying as Ali minus the blinking face mask.

[Droford]

I had about a 30 second pq stutter but Im back to hd

[RP]

Ricochet should get the beginning of DDP's entrance added to his entrance but instead of " Self high five " it will be " Self low one "

[Jordan]

I've always wanted to see WWE use Karl Anderson in a bigger way. There is something there as a character and his work is more than good enough.

[slik]

I really like Ricochet's gear

can't tell if it's a tribute to Nightwing or Black Panther but I like it either way

[GD]

Switched to Chrome and things are fine so far.

[Sepholio]

That move always looks to me to be the single most devastating move in the history of wrestling. You could legit murder people with that.

[Jordan]

I'd say so far this is the best bout between these two. Good psychology.

[RP]

Ricochet looks like a gay cenobite.

[GD]

I know he has before it's just the exact same paint Konnor does with the Ascension.

Oh! Feel like it barely resembles his. Gallows' application seems much refined.

[Jordan]

Switched to Chrome and things are fine so far.

Are you casting or just watching on the laptop?

[Jordan]

One of the best looking submission holds in WWE, the calf crusher. I love it.

[Jordan]

Oh my god what an amazing chain suplex by Ricochet. What strength.

[Sepholio]

These guys are incredible.

[Droford]

waiting for Rico to show of his certificate from the becky lynch school of knee selling

[GD]

Are you casting or just watching on the laptop?

Not casting. Connected my laptop via HDMI.

[GD]

Wow! That ending sequence was incredible.

[Jordan]

Wowwwwwwwww wowwwww wowww. What a finish oh shit.

[Sepholio]

That was pretty sweet catching him out of that move.

[Droford]

I just realized the things on top of the posts are probably 3-d cameras

[slik]

Damn...that match was really short...

[rez]

Great match

[Emperor Smeat]

Ending to Styles vs Ricochet was pretty great.

[Malfeitor]

That match could’ve been so much more.

[Jordan]

That was a really good match and an insane finish. Thankful to get a classic out of these two. I loved that.

[GD]

Damn...that match was really short...clean win for AJ over Ricochet

That wasn't a clean win, my dude. The Good Brothers interfered multiple times.

[Jordan]

Yes it was short but one of the "Best short matches" I can remember. Kind of reminds me of Bret/Perfect from KOTR. Quick but great.

Aj get's booked so well in WWE, he really must've gotten Vince's eye as "Mr. Dependable".

[Sepholio]

I love the Street Profits lmao

[GD]

That's a lot of physicality for Ric Flair.

[Jordan]

Goddamn did Natch actually drop an elbow lol.

[Sepholio]

The way he dropped his cup and they started beat boxing Flair's theme lolol that was amazing. I am cry laughing rn

[slik]

Charlotte having a conversation with an animated dildo

[Droford]

charlotte and a pickle..ok

[GD]

I love the Street Profits lmao

They're so fucking charismatic.

[Sepholio]

Kinda hope Ember goes over here.

[Jordan]

Agh I wish this match wasn't on the show.

[Droford]

Kinda hope Ember goes over here.

picked her to win myself

[Droford]

why does bayley have an hourglass on her jacket

[Jordan]

Wait NVM I thought this was a WWE Divas Tag Team match when I saw Bailey. I like these both though so yeah git her dun.

[slik]

I hope Sasha returns and beats up both of these jobbers

[Emperor Smeat]

Think a couple people in the crowd got the wrong memo for which sign to hold up for Bayley's entrance. Don't remember her ever getting "The Man" nickname.

[Gerard]

For Bayley to be the women's champion the crowds about as in to her as a turd in a punch bowl.

[Triple A]

Crowd h8s Bayley

[Triple A]

Lots of rest holds already... not good...

[Jordan]

I am drinkin that Arizona Green Tea with Ginseng and have a Salmon & Quinoa and Sweet Potatoes in the fridge.

[Triple A]

Ember is really good, wish they would give her a push!

[Jordan]

Ember is really good, wish they would give her a push!

I mean she in the title match at Summerslam.

[Triple A]

I am drinkin that Arizona Green Tea with Ginseng and have a Salmon & Quinoa and Sweet Potatoes in the fridge.

Cool man, enjoy. Not sure what I"m gonna eat! I have some fresh mozzarella balls and tomatoes, and pickled peppers I got from a deli earlier, might have some of that as a snack!
