SummerSlam 2001 Live Discussion - May 7, 2020

[Chris]

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

Not saying it doesn't make sense, just saying I think Booker going over would have been better

 

[Petty]

but what wwf did with booker afterwards maybe wasn't good

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Main events I should say.

 

[Petty]

I disagree here. if we look at how it shook out in terms of alliance and wwf going into invasion. this was par for the course.

 

[Chris]

Main events I should say.

Yeah I think the only ones I'd say I LOVED that were like this were when Austin was in them bc man he was great at this formula.

 

[Sky]

Are we just forgetting about count-outs here?

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Rock could have lost here and got the belt at Unforgiven. Rock is over enough he doesn't need to win his return match to stay over.

It's 2001 of course

 

[Kross Rhodes]

WWF doesn't do counts in mains in 2001 and I love it.

 

[Hoss]

Charles Robinson has never counted a single person out

 

[Chris]

[Chris]

You're not wrong tho

 

[Hidden Blaze]

I was about to ask am I watching AEW or 2001 WWF cause both it seems rules and count outs aren't a thing half the time.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

WCW ref and WCW owner at ringside. Use that to explain the lack of counts.

This fits better here than the "lenient rules in title matches" thing I usually tell myself
