SummerSlam 2001 Live Discussion - May 7, 2020

[Chris]

I mean I think you're just saying that Rock could have still won here if Booker was taken seriously afterwards still which is true and he could have still been treated seriously, but him winning here would have helped A LOT

 

[Chris]

Hurricane's victory was awesome

 

[Petty]

01 rock vs 03 rock who was doing jobs on his way out.

 

[Chris]

It wouldn't have hurt Rock to "job" here though.

 

[Hoss]

I would agree that Booker never getting a proper main event run at his peak was worse more criminal than The Nexus never taking off though

 

[Kross Rhodes]

I mean the burial itself is nowhere near as bad as Cena to the Nexus.

IDK between that promo that scares off Sting, and two back-to-mains and one was a handicap with Shane, I think Rock buries Book thoroughly.

 

[Petty]

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Surely since it didn't even have to be a clean win for Book.

 

[Sky]

The way I've seen some people talk about Booker, you'd think him having the belt at all was Jinder Mahal-tier nonsense

Book is great. Please never compare him to Jinder again.

[Chris]

This match is a little too "sports entertainmenty" for my liking as well, though it's just hard not to compare it to the greatness we saw before it. Which isn't fair to this match on it's own

 

[Petty]

this was his first ppv back if memory serves me correct. Rock going over only makes sense.

 

[Sky]

I'm saying Book's better than people give him credit for

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Most of the matches back then are like this.
