Cooking some eggplant and trying to fix my fire alarm. It has been beeping for two days and I’ve just got around to buying a battery for it. Also, I am setting up a VGA connection on my old shitty laptop so that I can watch all five hours of SummerSlam on my TV.
6:00
The pre-show is starting. The theme this year is “Brooklyn,” since the show will take place in Brooklyn. They show some people in Yankees hats, and then the Barclays center. This hot ass girl hosting the panel starts talking and she says they will be “breaking down all of the action that is the four hour extravaganza that is SummerSlam.” The first guy she introduces is some guy with all these tattoos, I don’t know who he is, but he says: “It is finally time for the biggest party of the summer, and guess what, you’re invited,” and then he tells us to use a bunch of different social media platforms and hashtags and mentions something called the Social Media Lounge. Then she introduces another host Byron Saxton, oh my God this guy is so fucking boring, he has been a commentator on Raw, the show they do every Monday, and he just says the most cliche, unnecessary filler, and practically fades into the background. Then the girl introduces the last guy on the panel, former wrestler Booker T, and says he is “a man who requires no introduction,” and then goes on to introduce him further by mentioning that he is a host of Tough Enough.
6:15
They go to a commercial, I didn’t know they do that. The girl keeps saying that the WWE is “invading Brooklyn.” She then says Brooklyn is “the baddest borough in Brooklyn.” They show a backstage segment between Jon Stewart from the Daily Show and John Cena who is like the poster boy of the WWE. Jon Cena is going to be the “host” of Summer Slam, I don’t know what that means. I guess he will “cut promos” between matches or whatever.
I took the eggplant out of the oven and it isn’t really cooked that much so I will put it back in. Hoping it comes out okay so I have something to do (eat it) whilst watching Summer Slam pre-show.
6:30
I realized it is my grandmother’s birthday so I called her. I missed some of what the people were talking about, but at one point, Booker T says the phrase “what have you done for me lately” when talking about some guy. Took the eggplant out and it’s pretty much burnt, so it isn’t that good. Actually it is good. They show a marine raising a WWE flag.
