Live SummerSlam Discussion Thread - SATURDAY August 21st

[Jimmy King]

I have that day off and then the next day my vacation from work starts, so to say I’m happy would be an understatement.

This weekend of shows can’t come soon enough

 

[Chris]

This is what I'm talking about

 

[Sabretooth]

Goldberg loses to Drew McIntyre in three minutes... gets title shot against Bobby Lashley

 

[Cwalker]

This is what I'm talking about

Give that man the belt

 

[Hoss]

Or keep the belt on the other man.

 

[Chris]

It's believed that Lashley vs Goldberg is the second oldest WWE Championship match in history....second to Hogan vs Flair in 2002

 

[Dale]

Which is crazy cos I don't even consider Lashley old myself

 

[Cwalker]

He’s not “old” per say but he did debut in what 04-05? So he’s been around the business for a minute.

Goldberg on the other hand...(even though I still love him)

05 I believe was main roster debut from him bc i remember watching him briefly when I was younger before my parents BANNED me from watching WWE bc they saw me watching the Tim White suicide videos on WWE.com

Wasn’t too sure if it was the end of 04 or beginning of 05. I think his first loss took like a year too(either JBL or Booker T, I believe) but needless to say he’s been around for a while which is why he seems older than he actually is

And he's also like 44 or 45 and looks a lot younger too which helps his perception I think. Plus he's as good if not at his best in the ring rn anyway

He’s definitely in his prime which is strange for a guy that’s 44-45. But Cena was similar; he didn’t consistently start having his best matches until 2015(even though he had a lot of good ones before then)

 

[Chris]

Get hype mother fuckers

 

[Dale]

I mean it makes sense but that's fucking preshow material
