WWE SummerSlam (2002) Classic Watch Along Thread

Throwing shade to other sports companies

You can tell WWE was getting ready to make Edge a true superstar this year. Major wins over Angle and Eddie this year on PPV. It's such a shame he gets hurt in a few months that sets him back.

Un-American shirts.

There are always some exceptions, but far more don't. Most of these guys are my current favorites for this reason, though.

I guess my argument against this is you have plenty of guys on the undercard during this time period who I'd say are worse than the average worker nowadays. And you can also look elsewhere, like in TNA, where even though I like the product, there is only a segment of that roster that was especially good in ring. WWE at this time was just loaded with hungry talent more than anything else.

Booker sure does get a helluva pop

Sucks even worse in WWE where "injury = not reliable = job forever" unless you're literally a 100/100 talent

You salty bout Ken Anderson?

You salty bout Ken Anderson?

I'm salty about all of them

 

[Hoss]

I know I am

 

[Hoss]

Mr. Anderson was fucking elite

 

[Sky]

In fact I find it odd you'd pick Anderson because he has one of the biggest cases of "when the bell rings syndrome" you've ever seen

 

[Chris]

I couldn't think of anymore

 

[Sky]

Even Karrion Kross. Even Karrion Kross doesn't have his in-ring as the obviously weakest thing about him as much as Anderson did

 

[Chris]

He's the only one that comes to mind as a push being completely given up on bc of injuries

 

[Chris]

How do you know they've given up on Kross though man is still out for THAT injury
