SummerSlam 2001 Live Discussion - May 7, 2020

[Chris]

Lance Storm was honestly the star of the Alliance for me, so happy he was the first one to debut

 

[Sky]

It's always a bad sign when the champion comes out second

 

[Sky]

when the challenger* I'm a fucking dumb ass

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Nobody interrupts Lance Storm, Who does this Edge think he is?

 

[Kross Rhodes]

I need me a shirt that says "If I can be serious for a minute." (Thread reply)

I'd buy 10.

 

[Chris]

This Edge guy shoulda stayed in tags tbh idk if I can see him breaking out. Christian might be the real star

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Edge can do what he wants, I'll allow it.

 

[Chris]

That shirt has to exist and I definitely want one too

 

[Kross Rhodes]

I have two very minor complaints about this PPV that I will get to in time for kayfabe purposes, but they're extremely minor and only one match on this card isn't that good to me

I have booking issues with this show, too,but the matches are stellar.

 

[Sky]

No ring announcement for Edge

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Can you believe shows in 2001 opened with Edge and Lance Storm matches?

 

[Kross Rhodes]

This Edge guy shoulda stayed in tags tbh idk if I can see him breaking out. Christian might be the real star

I think they'll both do OK.

 

[Chris]

Really (and spoiler alert) I just think the main events should have been switched bc Austin/Angle is one of my favorite matches of this whole year...but also it's cool af that the WCW title main evented SummerSlam so I'm cool with it

 

[Chris]

Two great Canadians right here, wish JR would talk about their hockey careers like he does Americans football careers

 

[Hoss]

I don't know if that means much Smark.
