Enjoyed watching Summerslam although I forwarded most of the tag matches. Helped it being less than a 4 hour show for me.

1. Randy Orton v Sheamus - loved watching Orton as usual. Nice matchup.


2. Watched the New Day Promo at the beginning of their match. Kept laughing. Then at the end, when the guy was licking the belt. Haha.

3. Ziggler v Rusev was also pretty good. Good matchup of different kind of wrestlers.

4.Stephen Amell and Neville defeated Stardust and King Barrett - forwarded this. Shouldn't have as I heard Amell wrestled fine in the solomonster podcast. Plus I enjoy watching Stardust and Neville is good to watch from all I have heard.

5. Ryback (c) defeated Big Show and The Miz - Should have forwarded this match instead. Ryback is a pain to watch. Big Show looked quite weird. I don't think he is in very good health right now.

6. Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose defeated The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper) - forwarded'

7. WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins defeated WWE United States Champion John Cena - forwarded as I wanted to get to the Taker match. Plus I can't stand watching Cena.

8. The Women's match - forwarded.

9. Kevin Owens defeated Cesaro - The best match for me. First time I saw Kevin Owens. Terrific to watch. He and Cesaro had a great match. Cesaro has improved so much since I last saw him. Doing so many high spots and doing them fine.

10. The Undertaker defeated Brock Lesnar (with Paul Heyman) by submission - It seemed both wrestlers were playing a video game on cheat mode. They did put up a terrific match though. I loved the finish contrary to the popular opinion. We are heading for an Undertaker retirement win at WM in Texas. Some one who mailed Solomonster said it and looks right.

Overall a really good show, whatever I did watch.

Cena Rollins was easily the best match. Theyre letting Rollins start to use his considerable armory. Definitely the next big thing.

Watched a bit of the Brooklyn NXT ppv. After ages, am excited about what I am seeing. Will probably try to catch more of the independent stuff and Japan stuff as well when I can.

Taker-Brock was way better
No way. It was almost as good but at no point did you think someone was about to win till the screwy finish. Rollins is the king of near falls and crazy out of the blue spots that you think may win it for him.

Taker-Brock was way better
Nah, they were both equally good.

Now, Bayley vs Banks.... THAT was way better.

Watched that whole match again, and only one spot annoyed me a little... Bayley countered the bank statement into her own, but the whole match was about her selling her hand injury. Yet she locked it in no trouble at all. Kinda weird. But I think it's one of the top 5 matches all year. The reverse rana from the top... holy ****.

In terms of wrestling Bayley Banks may not have been as good, in terms of story and the full package. Bayley Banks blew everyone else away.

Banks is so ****ing good. Hoping we get her splitting up with team BAD to launch her title shot for NOC. Getting the belt on her asap is required. That way we can see the PCB girls in some showcase matches against her until one of them takes it off her, then we can get a Charlotte or Becky heel turn and we'll finally actually have a women's division worth a damn. The Bellas need to be taken out of the title frame yesterday. Let them be valets or something, if given a small work load both can be entertaining.

Would love to see Raw/Smackdown have a knockout #1 contender tournament between the groups.

Charlotte vs. Brie
Becky vs. Naomi
Paige vs. Tamina
Sasha vs. Alicia

Let one of Brie or Naomi cheat to win to keep the faces all faces for now. And go from there.

Honestly think Sasha would be able to salvage a title match with Nikki into something entertaining. Will be so annoyed if we get Naomi or Paige in a triple threat.

My goodwill towards the women's division will last till NOC. The divisions attention is no longer spread across NXT and the main shows. The casual audience has now been introduced to who each of these women are. Aka Vince has now been introduced to who they are. And Nikki can break that stupid record.

If we still haven't advanced by then I'm going to just go back to skipping the women's stuff.

Also I'm so ****ing keen for the first ever TLCT tag team championship match.
Tables, ladders, chairs and trombones.

The women's division astonishes me. They've kept the worst of the bunch at the top for ages and kept all the clearly superior ones way down the pegging order. Embarassing.

Hopefully they realise how many t shirts they can sell with the four horsewomen.

Anything Sasha says or wears
A ****y as **** Charlotte one
Bayley for the young uns.

... Who a, I kidding I'd buy a I'm a hugger shirt.

Really hoping we get a Hug Life/ Basic Huganomics shirt.

Yeah, it was definitely the match of the night for mine. It was excellent, bar the stupid end.

It was a very good wrestling match but Taker Brock told a much better story IMO

Plus I hated the ending of Cena Rollins and liked it in Taker Brock

I think we're getting the start of a more likeable Rollins story. He has been earnestly thanking the authority, been trying to win on his own merit more often. He is sorta being booked as an underdog instead of a coward atm IMO. I liked the Summerslam story because it was about him. Despite what he says, story wise he is almost but not quite good enough. And eventually he will be punished for it.

I honestly thought HHH talking about Hustle Loyalty and Respect as values they wanted in the man was going to see a Cena heel turn. It could still happen but I'm pretty sure the road were heading down is for Rollins to get betrayed by the authority to begin a gradual face turn.

...another reason to give the title to Sting.

The whole internet seems to be comparing Rollins' white tights to the white Power Ranger, but they immediately reminded me of Steamboat from WM 3.

Solomonster compared it to Michaels. Also said he is the best performer in the industry now and very much like Michaels in certain ways.
