You don't understand

Millions are pissed off and dissapointed

Therefore they're doing great

That's the point of wrestling, pissing off your fans until your ratings drop into the mid-1's

No one was pissed off or disappointed.

Most people in that building couldn't even muster the nerve to make a sound.

 

[Raging Spaniard]

I think the story of treating this like Naks coronation and having the shock of failure is fine, but execution wise theyre really creatively bankrupt

 

[BFIB]

I'm picking Braun. For Vinny shock factor.

 

[cordy]

Damn this cup of Tears Tea tastes delicious.

 

[ShadyK54]

And to keep this party rolling, they'll probably have Bork win. This Summerslam has been something else.

 

[Shadow Broker]

Jinder

Fucking stupid.. stupid stupid fucking stupid.

 

[Ithil]

NXT is a shot made for internet fans with zero concern over ratings and audience.

HHH is a bodybuilder and you know that’s what he thinks a prime time USA network wrestling show needs.

Now you're literally arguing with your imagination.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

triple h is worse than vince

Pretty much

Reminder HHH not only saw and sees no issue with Reigns, but his solution to the constant boos of Reigns was to insert himself in the mix because he thought himself as World champ giving Reigns the rub would be enough to get Reigns cheered

Reminder HHH said months ago on a conference call "you boo him, how is he not a heel"

 

[somedevil]

H E A T

Why get babyfaces over when you can get H E A T

Which doesn't happen when you do the same ending to a match every time. Hell in a Cell is the next pay per view. If they were building to do that do a dq instead.

 

[Pro]

Brock vs. Jones coming up so he's leaving WWE. Hope Strowman takes over the Monster aka "Beast" slot.

 

[Kurt Angle]

who's this jobber?

 

[theBmZ]

Need Braun or Joe to save the show

 

[Professor Beef]

Nak has nobody to blame but himself. He should've left the Singh Boyz alone, but he had to chuck them into the ring.

 

[Bronx-Man]

And to keep this party rolling, they'll probably have Bork win. This Summerslam has been something else.

Sigh.

 

[kirblar]

I'm picking Braun. For Vinny shock factor.

This isn't the time to do Braun. They know they have something special w/ him and should probably wait for a WM to pull the trigger on him.

 

[Rockandrollclown]

And to keep this party rolling, they'll probably have Bork win. This Summerslam has been something else.

Yeah. I'll be shocked if Brock loses here. Even though it's a golden opportunity since he doesn't need to eat a pin.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

there is none. Some people want to believe there is to justify this Jinder push.

Are they not doing the tour in September any more?

 

[The Silver]

I hope Braun tries to no sell Bork again so I can get some tiger knees.

 

[Fat4all]

prediction:

Brock takes out Braun, Joe takes out Roman, then Joe bairly beats Brock clean (or the other way around)

 

[serenewarfare]

NXT is a shot made for internet fans with zero concern over ratings and audience.

HHH is a bodybuilder and you know that’s what he thinks a prime time USA network wrestling show needs.

Except there is literally zero evidence to suggest that is what he believes, and a mountain of evidence to suggest the contrary. Not just NXT either. Every interview Triple H has ever done about his philosophy on wrestling is drastically different from what Vince presents.

 

[redmetal86]

What are Joe's chances of winning tonight?

 

[Sinatar]

Brock has a 6 month steroid suspension to serve, he's not leaving WWE, he's not losing.

You are the markiest of marks if you think otherwise.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Joey Samoey going to eat this pin.

[TraBuch]

So is Summerslam as bad as it sounds in here?

 

[Camper Van Beethoven]

Now you're literally arguing with your imagination.

The only imagination is when people cherry pick everything good about wwe being HHH and everything bad being Vince.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

When is a black wrestler gonna get the Jinder push? 🤔

 

[Laws00]

well that was fast

 

[shanafan]

So is Summerslam as bad as it sounds in here?

No. It's the same atmosphere for every WWE PPV.

 

[Zabka]

Gotta keep that title on Jinder for when he walks that dude out in UFC.

 

[Brinbe]

Like, they continually get in their own way and for what? Some racist idea that Jinder will get over in India because????

Sometimes the obvious decision is the right move, it's just about getting there in a compelling way.

Just a dumb fucking company, at least when it comes to the main roster.

boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

triple H has been booking in the WWE for 10+ years lol, dunno why people don't realize this

 

[blackaroni]

Joe got this.

Lol at the boos.

 

[Rhaknar]

boos BEFORE the theme lol

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Undertaker tombstoning Reigns and letting Brock pin him is going to be the outcome, daddeh.

 

[ramoisdead]

I hope Samoey Joey wins the title.

 

[vatstep]

So is Summerslam as bad as it sounds in here?

Yes. I'm usually more forgiving than most of WrassleGAF but it's pretty damn bad.

 

[Ithil]

The only imagination is when people cherry pick everything good about wwe being HHH and everything bad being Vince.

Here are the facts.

HHH is in charge in NXT.

Vince is in charge on the main roster.

You can argue "how much" of whatever, but it's all speculation. The only facts known is who has the final say on either show.

 

[avengers23]

Any late rumors about Reigns getting popped again?

That would be the only way he would eat the pin.

 

[Nocturnowl]

Pretty much

Reminder HHH not only saw and sees no issue with Reigns, but his solution to the constant boos of Reigns was to insert himself in the mix because he thought himself as World champ giving Reigns the rub would be enough to get Reigns cheered

I think the reality here is a not very thrilling one, and that's Trips gets some things right, and some things wrong.
Like most humans really.

Undertaker tombstoning Reigns and letting Brock pin him is going to be the outcome, daddeh.

You mean dick kicks Reigns surely.

 

[Camper Van Beethoven]

Except there is literally zero evidence to suggest that is what he believes, and a mountain of evidence to suggest the contrary. Not just NXT either. Every interview Triple H has ever done about his philosophy on wrestling is drastically different from what Vince presents.

Again; he’s incredibly high in creative. Unless you think McMahon is running the ship solo there’s zero reason to attribute everything bad about wwe to him.

 

[Farsi]

My man.

THE BIG DOG.

 

[Pro]

So is Summerslam as bad as it sounds in here?

That's every PPV on GAF

 

[PROh1bited]

Ummm what!?

Name all of the bodybuilders in NXT. Go.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Let's go

Goldberg, j/k

 

[The Strokes]

What are Joe's chances of winning tonight?

None.

 

[ChosenPredator]

[Kurt Angle]

people want to believe in false hope

 

[shwimpy]

this is a preview of Bayley's entrance when she comes back from her injury.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

The only imagination is when people cherry pick everything good about wwe being HHH and everything bad being Vince.

"Am I fucking going over" gets easily forgotten with, oh, let's say only 7 selfies with Name Wrestlers From X Fed

What the hell is he supposed to say?

"Yeah, this whole thing has been a failure. Reigns just isn't working."
