[Droford]

Supposed to be going back to 4 hour long ppvs, I hope not

[Jordan]

Wow the card is WEAK

[Fignuts]

I'm looking forward to the Asuka matches, and that's about it.

[Triple A]

The Dominik match should be interesting

[Rammsteinmad]

I can imagine a couple of throwaway tag matches thrown in unannounced to boost the card up a bit. Cesaro and Nakamura and some other team for example.

[Maluco]

Just in to see this card out of interest. It’s hard to believe that WWE would have a card this bad in 2020, nevermind for a Summerslam. Obviously I am missing the build of certain guys and how they are portrayed on TV, but it looks to be almost completely starless in 2020. It’s pretty crazy how far things have dropped since 2010 even.

I couldn’t even imagine sitting down to watch this.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I probably won’t watch, but wtf at people saying this card is “bad.” It may not be the most inspiring card of all-time, but absolutely nothing outside Bray and Braun looks “bad.” Lots of emphasis on young stars here. I think the only dude over 40 is MVP.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I can see Cesaro & Nakamura vs. Lucha House Party being added to the card, and that’ll be quite the match.

[RP]

Why is Rowan facing The Fiend ?

[Mr. Nerfect]

That’s Braun. Got a feel that a double turn is coming.

[Danny Electric]

Scrolling down the pictures quickly I wondered why Tony Soprano’s son was having a match but realised its Dominick.

[slik]

Haven't renewed my sub yet

Not sure if I will or will find a stream instead

[slik]

I could see Workin' Man OTIS cash in on Randy Orton after he beats Drew

I could see Big Doggo Roman return and defeat Braun after he squashes The Fiend

More time for RETRIBUTION and WORKIN MAN OTIS to cash in MITB

OTIS hits the Caterpillar on Orton or Bray


"Some people call this MMO, Mixed Martial Otis"

[slik]

Per PWInsider

On Talking Smack they announced Braun vs Bray is now a falls count anywhere match and PWInsider has confirmed it will be the main-event of SummerSlam.

[Gerard]

OOh what a shitty card. Looks like a house show ffs.

The Fiend vs Big Show Jr..

I'd laugh if Mandy vs. Sonya ended in a draw or no contest.

[XL]

I could see Workin' Man OTIS cash in on Randy Orton after he beats Drew

I could see Big Doggo Roman return and defeat Braun after he squashes The Fiend

Neither of these things will happen because the whole point is “you won’t see it coming”.

[slik]

You won't see LARS SULLIVAN coming

[RP]

ok signed up for a free month.

[RP]

You won't see LARS SULLIVAN coming

I've seen Lars Sullivan cumming.

[RP]

i'd give Renee Young a vicious pounding on her vagina

[Sepholio]

Just made a banging homemade pizza and got a growler full of craft beer to intoxicate myself with to make this show more enjoyable. Here we go I guess.

[RP]

This really feels like a Brock Lesnar run in to cost Braun the belt.

I dont think Buff Bagwell will be returning tonight.

[Sepholio]

I wouldn't be surprised to see Keith Lee debut tonight tbh. Only acceptable reason to take the NXT title off of him so soon.

[slik]

MVP vs Apollo about to start

[RP]

It seems like every show WWE does, they try to condense all the black people into 1 segment of the show.

[Triple A]

They are trying to push Apollo Crews but he has no charisma at all and is forced to wrestle the same exact WWE style as every1 else... why should I care about him

[slik]

Fans look exactly what I'd think like they would

[Emperor Smeat]

Who won the US title match?

Missed the entire pre-show because I slept a bit too long from a nap.

[OssMan]

Damn theyre in an actual staidum... which 1

is that new

[OssMan]

Sick pyro..........

[Emperor Smeat]

Crowd audio sounds all messed up and even worse than what AEW does for their taped shows.

[Gerard]

Fans look exactly what I'd think like they would

Shortbus material?

[slik]

Damn theyre in an actual staidum... which 1

is that new

Amway Arena in Orlando

yeah, this is the 2nd night using it, they have rented it thru October

[Triple A]

Damn theyre in an actual staidum... which 1

is that new

"The Amway Center" in Orlando

[RP]

Now why the fuk did Auska jump off the rope like that?

[Emperor Smeat]

Smackdown Women's title match was pretty good although the ending was a bit lame.

This crowd audio WWE was using barely meshed with what was actually going on during the match.

[Crimson]

Dominic was not convincing at all to have Rey not go out there.

[Emperor Smeat]

This vignette for Retribution somehow makes them look more goofier than usual.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Street Profits' pyro being a bunch of plastic cups.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Dominic was not convincing at all to have Rey not go out there.

He said don't interfere. Rey will be there to support his taller and bigger son.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Smackdown Women's title match was pretty good although the ending was a bit lame.

This crowd audio WWE was using barely meshed with what was actually going on during the match.

The boos were captured very well for the finish.

[Triple A]

The person controlling the fake crowd noise is doing a horrible job... like 10 seconds late with reactions, or no reactions at all

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Pikachu is in the WWE Universe.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at pikachu being one of the virtual fans in the crowd.

RAW Tag title match was pretty good overall.

[slik]

I had to step away for a sec, how did Street Profits win?

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I think the virtual crowd setup looks pretty good!

[Triple A]

I had to step away for a sec, how did Street Profits win?

Vega got knocked down so Andrade went to check on her, then Ford hit Garza with a rotating frog splash off the top for the win

[Triple A]

Looking forward to seeing what happens in this match!

Street Profits very good natural baby face team. Very much needed asset.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

How dare the WWE universe boo her after what she went through?

[Volare]

The best Sonya has been ever.

[OssMan]

Both of these chicks are mad hot.....

[Emperor Smeat]

Guess Sonya recently raided Matt Hardy's wardrobe since that jacket she wore looked just like the "Broken Hardy" one.

[Volare]

$5 Mandy loses the white top somehow.

[Gerard]

Be funny to see a big bottle of lube appearing on one of the screens. Probably a delay on them though so doubt that'll happen.

[Emperor Smeat]

Mandy sort of looks like Alundra Blayze from back in the day with that white gear and short hair.

[slik]

Sonya Deville is good

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Can’t believe this is the last outfit Mandy wears on tv. What a disappointment

[OssMan]

When did they start letting <s>divas</s> women get stuff from under the ring...

[Volare]

Damn Mandy looking great here too...I'm blown away so far.

[OssMan]

Be funny to see a big bottle of lube appearing on one of the screens. Probably a delay on them though so doubt that'll happen.

:wtf:

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at the table setup botch.

[Volare]

Can’t believe this is the last outfit Mandy wears on tv. What a disappointment

I thought it was Sonya leaving due to acting and the recent B.S.

[Gerard]

:wtf:

Oh come on, you just know half of these fans on camera are jerkin the gherkin to this match.

Someone who's been here longer than you, so get toungin, boy!

So far this feels like just a regular Smackdown match and not something more fitting of a blood feud.

[Gerard]

So far this feels like just a regular Smackdown match and not something more fitting of a blood feud.

U wanna go toe to toe with me in frikkin TPWW cred... ok? Come back when you've successfully managed the official TPWW twitter for nearly a decade

[slik]

Matches left:

Dominik vs Seth

Randy vs Drew

Asuka vs Sasha

Braun vs Bray

[Emperor Smeat]

That might have been the weakest Loser Leaves Match ever.

Even if it was a Hair vs. Hair stip instead and played out the same way, it wouldn't have been good either.

Only real bright side is at least Sonya gets a well deserved break to relax after what she's been through recently.

[Emperor Smeat]

For a Street Fight, its been lacking fighting on the outside or anything street related so far.

[Emperor Smeat]

Did that really happen

Yes and how it happened and looked was pretty lame compared to the rumors of a CGI dangling eyeball.

[Gerard]

U said you wanted it bro

Bit of a difference between tongueing an ass and sucking a wang. Disturbing you don't realise this.:eek:

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at the botched timing for the crowd audio for the kickout spot.

[Triple A]

Liking this match so far...

[Triple A]

Crowd noise guy fucking up big time... not adding any "pops" to anything when there should be

[Emperor Smeat]

That top rope Russian Leg Sweep though the table spot was pretty cool.

[slik]

good frogsplash from Dominik

[Volare]

Good match so far.

[Volare]

RVD height jeeezus.

[Emperor Smeat]

That was a sweet vicious looking powerbomb by Rollins.

[Volare]

Jesus that powerbomb lol.

[Emperor Smeat]

Oh shit, Domink's mom showed up.

Seth probably going to get nailed upside the head with a shoe very soon.

[Triple A]

If I was the crowd noise guy's "boss" I would "tear him a new ass hole"

[Gerard]

Seth probably going to get nailed upside the head with a shoe very soon.

Or a bag of Oranges.

[Emperor Smeat]

Dominik's debut match was very good. If it wasn't for the shitty production and cam work, it would have been even more amazing in terms of quality.

[Volare]

Son of a bitch, hell of a finish!

[Emperor Smeat]

Wonder how Andrade, Garza, and WWE's other Hispanic stars feel right now since WWE probably already just locked in Dominik to be Rey's successor as their next top Hispanic star after that performance.

Once someone gets that hand picked top star treatment, WWE is very stubborn when it comes to changing their minds or pushing others who are more talented and/or deserving instead.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Guys that street fight was really good!

[xrodmuc316]

Unless I'm missing something, there are only 3 matches left right?

Sahsa/Asuka
Braun/Fiend
Drew/Randy

Surprised no AJ/Jeff rematch.

[Gerard]

One of the screens at the front for a few moments said "fire velveteen dream".

[slik]

Asuka will win

[xrodmuc316]

Little thing, but Asuka shouldn't be dancing down to the ring like normal, she should be pissed after losing the first match.

[Volare]

She was dancing at the top of the ramp....NOW her knee is bugging her again....ugh.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Boys, my biggest gripe with WWE over the last couple years is that everything feels forced and inauthentic.

But that street fight felt real as fuck. Big fan.

[Volare]

Owww floor powerbomb.

[Volare]

Ok that mid air spin into AsukaLock was pretty cool.

[slik]

No belt Banks coming soon

[Volare]

1 of 2 at least.

[xrodmuc316]

Has Sasha ever successfully defended the Raw title any of the 5 times she won it?

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at doing the exact same spot from earlier in the show.

Asuka getting the title back was great but at the cost of an utter dull and waste of a reign by Sasha.

[slik]

Before the show I thought Orton would win the title but now I think Drew retains and the title switch will be in Braun and Bray.

[Emperor Smeat]

Has Sasha ever successfully defended the Raw title any of the 5 times she won it?

Not counting house shows, nope.

[Emperor Smeat]

:| at the new sword sound added to Drew's entrance theme.

Just like with Ricochet's gun shot sound and Black's creaky lift board, that new tweak wasn't needed at all.

What if somebody hacked all the streams and threw up a bunch of Chris Benoit pics. That's a crippling Thunder Dome!

[rez]

Damn. that's a lot of virtual fans...someone plz moon the audience.

[Emperor Smeat]

Ric Flair would be rich had he charged royalties for the Figure Four move considering all the times its been used by a ton of people throughout the years.

Probably would pay Miz to have him stop using it considering how bad he's done the move in recent years.

[Volare]

Futureshock :D

[Volare]

BACKSLIDE (never saw it coming!).....da fuq???

[slik]

Prob time for some Retribution wackiness

[Emperor Smeat]

WWE title match was pretty good though.

[Triple A]

Damn fell asleep for "God knows" how long

[xrodmuc316]

Keith Lee callup!

[Volare]

Quick Keith Lee promotion there.

[Triple A]

what was that Keith Lee thing, too disoriented, just saw Keith Lee but don't know why

Also :lol: at Tom Phillips uttering SummerSlam's catchphrase when it happened.

WWE title match was pretty good though.

First thing I thought was I would have never guessed a backslide pin as what we wouldn't have seen coming lol

[Emperor Smeat]

Unless something major happens with the Universal title match, nothing on tonight's SummerSlam has given any real reason why Payback has to happen next week.

Current card for that show is just the Women's Tag title match and the rumored Baron Corbin vs. Matt Riddle match.

[xrodmuc316]

what was that Keith Lee thing, too disoriented, just saw Keith Lee but don't know why

Going to Raw tomorrow. Looked like a callup promk, not just a one off appearance.

[slik]

Could see Keith Lee feuding w/ Dolph for 2-3 months

[Emperor Smeat]

Bald headed Braun still looks a bit weird.

[Volare]

Fiend wins, Otis cashes in lol.

[slik]

CosBray going to win the title

[slik]

Hope OTIS cashes in

[Emperor Smeat]

Bray's Fiend entrance looks pretty cool in the ThunderDome setup.

[Volare]

A-TRAIN I mean Braun.....

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at the audio getting all messed up or washed out because of Braun's entrance.

The amount of production botches and usual bad cam work during this show has been a bit comical.

[slik]

Giant beer gut Bray

[Volare]

OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW....edge of table.

[RP]

That table had to hurt.

[Emperor Smeat]

Don't think I've ever seen a WWE announcer table smashed the way it did from that Braun chokeslam.

Like usually it either breaks or not but Braun somehow managed to cause it to dent or cave in a bit but didn't break it.

[screech]

Shaky camera work got so much worse once they left the ring.

People get paid for this.

I mean, Braun could just end this now by shanking him.

[screech]

Nice!

[slik]

That was a really stupid finish to Braun and Bray

[screech]

Oh shit! Did not expect Roman to be here

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Braun losing the title via being a dumbass.

Cuts the ring to expose the wood only for his plan to completely backfire.

Universal title match was decent to pretty good.

:eek: Reigns came back.

[Triple A]

crowd noise guy playing a "rallying clap" sound instead of a "pop" for Roman Reigns' return

[Emperor Smeat]

Reigns "Wreck Everyone & Leave" shirt is pretty cool.

[slik]

Please give Roman the title ASAP

[RP]

All those missed chair shots.

[RP]

Roman spent time in the Edge chin workout program.

[rez]

Please give Roman the title ASAP

What if Covid has a huge spike and he decides to stay home again?

[Triple A]

Roman's teeth looking real white

[Volare]

Roman leader of Retribution?

[RP]

What if Romans new name is Covid Reigns

[Emperor Smeat]

Why was an air siren going off in the ThunderDome?

SummerSlam was pretty good overall and Reigns return was a great moment but that might have been the worst effort ever by WWE on the production side of things. Also a bunch of matches tonight had the same problem of just ending abruptly or flat.

[slik]

Roman leader of Retribution?

What about LARS

[slik]

Wonder how many times Triple A has watched the LARS pornography, he was always a big "Lars Sullivan stan"

For all the rumors about SummerSlam was going to mainly act as the build for Payback next week, it did a really poor job doing so.

Strowman vs. Reigns is probably the only thing from tonight that actually got setup for next week's show assuming the match happens there.

WWE would be better off just having the screen peoples actual noise of they can't make the canned in noise sound better and use it appropriately. I can't say I've ever heard the crowd actually boo when Orton is doing all the mat smacking signaling the RKO.

I enjoyed the last 4 matches and Roman's return quite a bit. Roman has certainly been in the gym while away just going by his arms and neck/trapezius.

Guess Retribution doesn't protest on Sundays?

Payback seems pointless.

They had a chance to recapture the Asuka of old here, but they went with the boring, predictable conclusion.

Winning the raw title means nothing. She’s just like everyone else.

[Droford]

Roman leader of Retribution?

I thought about that but then I realized I liked that idea worse than the Miz being the leader

[Droford]

Reigns "Wreck Everyone & Leave" shirt is pretty cool.

he caused Elias' car accident obviously

Hmmmm....

Roman's return was electric.

"The Fiend" seems to have been watered down incredibly to say the least. Now a single spear is enough to keep him on the ground when a while back he was getting hit with multiple headstomps and kicking out at 1? Never understand why wwe bother with characters like this, they introduce them as seemingly invincible and then water them down over a short time. Kane is another good example of that, as is Strowman and quite a few others.

[Jordan]

Why did Roman obliterate Braun with the chair shots and just a couple of moves to Bray? That was weird. Yes The Feind is horrible and done, and now he is the champion. Hopefully not for long.

no, they should just play music in the background like the old smackdown videogames. the mixdown of the crowd from all individual sources would sound like a giant warbley mess of artifacts and shit that would drive you even MORE insane

Would only work if they did it old school disc era and had the commentary to match.

Goldberg.....is a really nice.....person. etc :lol:

[screech]

^ that would be an improvement lol
