AEW / WWE thread - Real Fighting about Fake Fighting

Wait

Is Alexa a face now?

 

main card starts at the top of the hour

 

Was there anything on the preshow?

 

just typical preshow matches, I missed the first hour though

 

Starting with Becky/Natty. Bold move starting with a piss break match.

 

Still cant believe Natty is in a title match let alone at SummerSlam...for all the shit people gave Ronda, she really elevated that womens division. Kind of taken a dive since she left

 

ahahaha

 

I'm sorry but that spot breaks kayfabe and really just kills it instead of being a cool spot to me. Becky had to literally lift her leg up so Natty could put her in the sharpshooter on the top rope. I know some will call it a cool spot, but little shit like that just always bugs me

 

That much was one big ol' meh

 

Trish has let the girls out to play tonight

 

Riddle is so excited for this

 

How many minutes is this one going

 

2 piss break matches to start...

To be fair, like 70% of the card is probably a piss break match.

 

Lol. Kicked out of two super kicks at one and then squashed him in 30 seconds...

 

Match went the correct way and correct amount of time.

 

LOL

 

Only highlight of that match was Dolph's sell of the spear.

 

enthralling stuff

 

Agree, its ridiculous the part timers still get booked like this. But its Dolph, WWE are never going to do anything with Dolph. Hopefully this leads to someone else going over Goldberg in the future though

 

dammit stop giving Dolph a mic

 

Alright no pun but who’s next

 

I think this was just a one off because the bloodmoney match was so, so bad.

 

omg Xavier's hair

 

Pay him to show up tomorrow at Raw and have Bray take him out like he did with Angle and Foley, dont even need to throw him in a match

 

I can't believe they looked at Ricochet's bad ass entrance and thought, "we need a cartoon bullet sound"

 

I'm probably in the minority with this, but I just don't give a shit about Bray Wyatt anymore.

BA-DING

 

These guys are so awesome

 

I’ve missed some old school heel tactics like going after the knee for story reasons and face actually selling it

 

Wootube was having some problems there. Hope this stream lasts, decent quality the first time all night.

 

Screw Cornette, ring psychology can be so boring sometimes. Ricochet a great seller but I’m tired of watching him sell this knee.

 

What is this storytelling? ?

 

Boooo.

 

Storytelling great but I don’t want to watch ricochet well I want to see him do flippy crap!

 

Good match, imo.

 

ayyyyy, brought out the Ibushi finish again

 

Even with getting caught, Rico really came down on his head/neck.

 

The reversal was really cool. Look like he was going for a Phoenix splash to a standing opponent

 

Ahh yes the "I hate my neck" spot. Should have caught that.

 

Only nerds need necks

 

I hope Ric actually dropped that elbow.

 

Who gonna tell Dawkins Nikki cross is married?

 

Says Ishii?

How can anyone be against selling, psychology and storytelling is what hooks you.

 

Go Ember, show em what you got

 

For a split second, I thought it was going to be Dain

 

looks like we've reached the point of the show where we get our hopes up for a heel Sasha return, let's see how it goes

 

Shitty crowd is shitty.

Show's been good! The kids deserve better

 

Yo that weird guy in the green that's at every big show tilting his head ever so slightly when Ember got rolled up and her panties were visible slayed me.

 

Idk, Bayley is bland as shit and Ember hasn't really been built up as a credible challenger. Didn't she get pinned clean last week?

 

I'm not a big fan of Bayley or Ember but I like the variety they're throwing into this match.

 

it did not go well
