WWE SummerSlam (2002) Classic Watch Along Thread

[Chris]

This won WON best show btw so I also reviewed it along with the worst shows that were discussed earlier

 

[Hoss]

And also infuriating at the same time

 

[Ricky Smarks]

No, not the guy but he was definitely hella prominent. Often times cutting the show opening promo and what have you.

IDK, it didn't seem that way to me a year after he was champion. He'd occasionally be thrust back up top, but when he wasn't, he was back in the mid treated like everyone else to me. If you're gonna compare him to Kurt and Brock, who I'd say were always treated like top guys even when they weren't holding the belt. Especially after 2012, if that's the time frame you gave? For the last 8 years he's definitely not been treated like a top guy. Which is why I'm saying it's hard to remember him like you would Angle or Brock or even Rock.

For 2002? I'd say only Survivor Series gives it a run.

I don't disagree with any part of this All I was saying is he was still what I would classify as a main eventer for a couple years after his first title win.

 

[Chris]

EC did just say he was a fringe main eventer tho lol

Yeah, all companies included since it's Dave's shit

 

[Hoss]

Any of y'all know off the top of your heads when Dustin/Steamboat vs. Anderson/Zbyszko happened?

 

[Ricky Smarks]

I wanna say 1994 sometime.

 

[Chris]

That was a clash match wasn't it?

 

[Ricky Smarks]

No, wait, it was a clash. Maybe 91.

 

[Chris]

Yeah I think it'd be 91 too

 

[Hoss]

Yeah it was Clash 17

 

[Hoss]

In 1991

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Still got it.
