Can't really disagree with most of what has already been said about this PPV. Indeed a downright poor show for the most part, I found it practically impossible to go above 3/10 which, quite frankly, might even be generous of me but I figured I'd give that much to at least show some love for the very few actual good things we saw...
- It almost takes...skill to open the show with what was easily MOTN in the tag team championship match but...hey....it's WWE, anything can happen....Even a shitty show despite an almost 5 star opener...Congrats to both teams for their excellent performances and of course an extra congrats to the New Day for winning the belts...Yeah, THEY ARE FUCKING
BELTS VINCE....
- The only other fun part of the night in my view was the Fashion Files segment and, well, obviously the ending with their spoof of Paranormal Activity. Well, if we made it from classic TV shows to the movies, I am willing to bet right now that the next installment of the Fashion Files will feature Jigsaw and do a spoof of SAW. If they do, I will ABSOLUTELY MARK OUT being the SAW movies were one of my favorites of all time, which obviously makes me a very happy man by the way for the next one coming out in October....
- It really bums be to think they could have easily done a classic for Summerslam between Naomi and Charlotte, the two most athletic women in the division but chose Natalya instead. In all fairness, I ain't against Natalya winning and perhaps it was WWE just wanting to keep the face/heel dynamic or the record she will be breaking for PPV matches as mentioned above but while that is all fine, I still question the overall booking of Charlotte, pretty much from the day she got drafted to the blue brand...
- If Mike Kanellis is eating the pin on his first PPV match, you know this gimmick is doomed for failure...
- I literally finished watching the PPV about half an hour ago and haven't checked any news sites or whatnot so....question: was that a botched ending in the US Championship match? Certainly felt like an off ending to me....And why are we playing "hot potato" all of a sudden with it? What was the purpose of this quick back and forth?
- Aside from a couple of good spots, the main event was extremely boring and then...Great Khali, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.....
2:
- Would they actually consider Khali vs. Orton at Summerslam? If so, well, at least it will solve the bathroom break issue....
