I am thinking it will be a Bobby/Brock/Roman for the Uni... AJ vs Bryan or Joe, probably a 3 way with Hardy/Orton/Naka, and I guess perhaps Dean/Seth vs Dolph/Drew? I dunno. I don't see Bobby/Brock as a Summerslam quality main event.

Don't know what the point was of making that the main event if the belt wasn't gonna flip, but I'm glad they didn't flip it.

I think it was like 8 minutes maybe
but yeah, Carmella threw her into the sharkcage 'knocking her out' and scored the 1-2-3 |

I just caught a Spanish feed clip of a couple of the matches. It sounded like one of them called Shinsuke the "Huevos Assassin", and now, I can't let that go.

I completely forgot about the iron man match. After the true main event (wwe championship) I assumed it was a wrap. Feel like I didn’t miss much

Just finished watching a replay of this after missing out originally from a nap that lasted way longer than it should have.
Skipped the pre-show but going to assume El Idolo was great. Legit surprised the RAW Tag Title opened the show. Guess wanted RAW really wanted their own Slater & Rhyno moment for the tag division. Probably the most dire division in the entire WWE. Corbin-Balor was decent. Apparently refs are terrible at frisking people considering the amount of stuff Ellsworth had on him in the cage. Whatever was left of Asuka's aura as a star is gone now. ![]() ![]() "We Want Kane" chants has to be up there among biggest WWE surprises of 2018. Smackdown Tag Title match was good but nothing special in the end. ![]() Reigns-Lashey was decent. Still don't care at all about this feud. Also a bit funny Lashley beat Reigns with a spear. RAW Women's title match was meh. Ronda botching a bunch of spots was a bit worrying although probably due to her rushing things. Between the main roster and NXT, none of the current Women champs are that compelling. Really surprised the WWE title match wasn't the main event considering the issues with WWE Ironman matches. RuRu vs Styles was really great overall. Kind of a bad sign it took until almost the end of the event for a great match to happen. 1st 10 minutes of this Ironman match has been a mess. Same for the match's flow with none of the scoring feeling special. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

This is the crowd the WWE has cultivated. Do not blame those jack-offs for existing in their natural state watching a product that only appeals to them.

Fans thinking theyre smarter than the product isnt their fault. Thats just wrestling fans. They think theyre smart and they want you to know about it.

don't know how anyone can enjoy a show watching with this lens. I mean... if someone stinks I won't "chant" or make noise. But if something is good I'll get on my feet and clap. Fuck getting myself over.

I question why these people go to these shows myself. If they didn't go, there wouldn't be enough fans to fill the hard camera side. They give Vince McMahon their money and then whinge. I'm all for whinging, just stop voting for this shitty product.

The fans are obnoxious and they can choose not to be obnoxious... But WWE definitely helped cultivate that mindset. They don't get off without any blame. The internet helped create a certain type of wrestling fan and WWE, as opposed to trying to put forth a product that gets those more passionate fans involved in the story being told in the ring, just welcomes it and even highlights it a lot of the time.
People who pay to come see your show should be able to respond however they want. If they're responding by making their own entertainment and basically ignoring what you're giving them, there's a problem. And it's on you to fix it. |

I blame the company more for driving away casual fans that outnumber the hardcores left. By making themselves a niche product, they've put themselves in the safekeeping of those fans.

WWE is obsessed with lighting the crowd and filming their reactions non-stop, they created the 'crowd is the show' mentality.
Please keep dark arenas w some fog instead...NXT and NJPW crowds look better in the dark. |

It’s an aspect I never really considered until recently, when Cornette did a piece on it. Focus should be on the action in the ring, and not on idiots folding their arms showing you how not over it is.
