WWE SummerSlam (2002) Classic Watch Along Thread

[Hoss]

Edge must have went to the Y2J School of In-Ring Dialogue

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Still pretty close. I do wonder what Austin would be doing here.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Maybe in this match with Eddie.

 

[Chris]

I think this whole damn landscape woulda been changed if Austin stayed tbh, Vince just said fuck everything he was doing

 

[Ricky Smarks]

What a snap armbreaker. Eddie knows how to work it.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

For sure. Half of what we see now would be different.

 

[Hoss]

Eddie showing he can still do a lucha thing or two

 

[Chris]

He still knows his roots

 

[Ricky Smarks]

The brand switches definitely never would have happened.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

That walking corner armbreaker was magical. I felt my own shoulder pop.

 

[Hoss]

My man Eddie is just a master of emoting

 

[Ricky Smarks]

This is what's lost in most modern workers. The art of telling a legit story in the ring.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Eddie is focusing all his work on Edge's arm. Every little thing he does is advancing that story.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

And Edge is selling it like a boss.

 

[Hoss]

I don't think I quite agree. Good workers in any era apply this kind of technique I believe.
