Surprised to see the show seems to be getting mainly positive write ups. I thought the whole thing stunk to be totally hones.

The Becky heel turn was the best thing of the night because of the pop it got. Otherwise the AJ vs Joe match was decent I guess but you felt that neither guy really hit their higher gears and it wasn't a patch on their previous matches obvs. The rest of the bouts were basically TV matches. At least we don't have to watch another Lesnar match maybe ever though.

Yeah true. They still have gears they can go up into though. But I guess if this is the first in a series there is not much point in them putting it all out there in the first match.

Ok fine, but both are capable of having "WWE matches" that are better than what they put on last night, we've already seem evidence of this.

The fight against Becky Lynch being heel has begun.

It's like DBry but worse, no Wyatt's to help the heel turn make any semblance of sense. Promos on the fans not supporting her being drowned out by fans supporting her.

I really can't wait for whatever parts of the old guard that can't handle a non blonde woman with big **** as woman's champ to **** right off.

Haha she is the anti-Reigns.

Also did Strowman lose his MITB shot the other night btw? I guess not, but I always think it's really BS when they actually ring the bell to start the match for a MITB cash in, only for some shenanigans to render it a no contest. That is still "the match" to me, but no doubt they will spin it as some "he was attacked before he could cash in" nonsense, although he clearly wasn't.

Yeah should have been a match and then Reigns loses to DQ meaning Braun gets a rematch. Would've worked fine.
 

sledger

Ah must have missed that. Oh well, still kind of nonsense imo.

Anyway the whole "You'll see me coming head on, no dishonest cash ins from me" narrative thing is kind of dumb imo. As he keeps positioning himself to cash in immediately after a grueling match it's barely any different from what all the heel MITB cash ins have been haha.

Kept watching Summerslam but finally had to decide to not watch any more. After a month or so of NJPW, these matches just didn't excite me that much. Also, the Summerslam colours were far too loud. I loved moments in Samoa Joe and Styles but the over all show seemed so lame. Daniel Bryan v Miz for me was terrible. A lot of kicks and not much else. Also, over all, wrestlers keep going against each other so fast, and then a pin, pin, pin, pin. It's all far too much drama.

The last two matches of Triplemania (I had to go to work middle of the title match)
AJPW show with Zeus vs big Shuj, Kento vs Yuji Hino etc

Plus I still gotta watch the NOAH show from last Monday with Go vs Sugiura.

weren't you basically not wrestling three years ago? now you're so deep in you can never come back out

anyway NBN (version two) is supposed to be at my place in 2 months time. Hopefully at that point I can go all in. It's just too difficult to play catch up right now
