Brie v. Steph was pretty good, mainly because of Steph's work effort.
But Reigns v. Orton is meh.

meh, not a fan of the brie vs steph ending. too soon after the shield breakup — yeah, we all probably knew the bellas wouldn't really be a tag team anymore no matter how tonight turned out, but it didn't need to happen like that. sigh.

that kick to H's face was pretty sweet though :3

Can I just say how much I miss the Attitude Era??

Nothing against the current roster as I know there is a lot of talent there, but the crowds are just so quiet and don't seem to care anymore. You just don't see pops like Stone Cold and The Rock got on a weekly basis 15 years ago. Even Hogan coming out at the end of Raw last week barely got a reaction. Sad.

Give me the Austin-McMahon feud or the Ministry of Darkness any day of the week over this current stuff.

That Brock Lesnar fight though, lmao

Wow I really enjoyed this years Summer Slam. The Rollins/Ambrose fight was my favorite but I also liked the Wyatt/Jericho and Reigns/Orton matches as well. Especially loved seeing Lesnar destroy Cena. Eat, Sleep, Conquer indeed.

are you kidding? Cena didn't even put up a fight. He looked dazed throughout most of the match. I don't mind him losing, but ffs at least try to make it believable. and you wanna talk 'five moves of doom', how many german suplexes was that, anyway? what a boring match to end with.

in all seriousness, where can they go with the belts now? seth's MitB is useless against Lesnar, and Reigns, love him to death, but is he really the man capable of stopping the monster that took down the Undertaker on his own home turf, a feat attempted by the best in the biz twenty-one times before him as well as the monster who freakin' suplexed cena like 16 times over in one match and turned his own F5 against him?

not to mention Lesnar can't cut a promo to save his life — the man just can't act — and also, he hasn't been a regular wrestler since his return. only PPVs and the occasional trot-out-the-meat moment while Heyman waxes loquacious and someone tries something stupid. are we really to expect that the unified heavyweight champ will wrestle only PPVs now, or is he just gonna gradually pound everyone in that locker room into an unsightly pulp?

i really think the writers have made a grievous error with this Lesnar push. the only thing that can save us now is either an injury, a miracle, or Lesnar vs HHH (because seriously, The Authority trumps everything nowadays... always a plan B and all that).

@theblackdragon: I think this will is going to be one of those decisions that blows up in the authority's face. They think that Lesnar will help them cause they gave him a title shot lol. They wont be able to control him, he will run amok for awhile causing them to make a deal with some face to take care of Lesnar.

Honestly the WWE kinda screwed themselves by having Lesnar beat Taker cause if you think of it how will it look to Taker's rep if he couldn't beat Lesnar and then someone comes along and beats Lesnar like Cena?

@theblackdragon Daniel Bryan obviously but since its still not clear when he will return you could say Roman is plan B

@ELI-ASH: it'd be like David and Goliath though, one good suplex and he'd be dead in the water. remember, Cena has F5'd Big Show in the past and dumped him over the ropes singlehandedly more than once back in his heyday. Taker is also a pretty big guy and has consistently held his own against other large wrestlers. somehow i can't see DB as ruthless or dangerous enough to take on Lesnar the way they're hyping him now, and coming back from a major injury, it'd be like throwing away all that expensive surgery and rehab time they've invested in him to have it be spoiled by one too-rough move. it'd be like throwing a chihuahua in with a rottweiler or something, so i'd class that under 'miracle', lol.

@theblackdragon
brock vs bryan was the original plan for summerslam actually but since bryan got injured Cena took his spot. In both cases I assume Brock would have won the belt.

Brock beat taker so i dont see him facing any of the heels in the roster unless someone turns.

i know, and i reiterate: DB beating Brock to get the belts off of him would fall into the 'it'd take a miracle' category, lol :3

Brock hate Cena! Brock smash!

BORK LASER AM CHAMP!

Glad Paige got the title back (yesterday was her birthday as well, so a nice present for her). I'm so tired of AJ and her stupid skipping around gimmick and such, and the fact that she doesn't look like she could beat a 5 year old in a wrestling match. Paige is relatively petite too, but the girl can actually wrestle.

Hopefully this will be a lot better than The Rock's lame title run was. If Lesnar just drops the belt to Cena or somebody else within a month or two that would be rather stupid.

He'll drop it to (the incredibly overrated and dull) Reigns at Wrestlemania

So has anyone been watching the Monday Night Wars documentary on the WWE Network? It's pretty good and watching it has brought back alot of memories for me.

because WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! IT'S HARD to keep these alligator shoes DOWN!!!!

I been watching them, i noticed on the replays they have an uncut and a edited version of the show. ( I wish they would do that for the ecw ppvs) I wasnt watching wrestling during that time but i do find it very interesting. Can't wait till they add the nitro episodes gonna watch them along raw episodes to see how each show compares to eachother.

Nitro was overall a tremendously better show up until 1999 or so, if only because the WCW undercard talent (the cruiserweights, lucha libre workers, et al) was infinitely better than WWF's undercard.

@the_shpydar Oh, the cruiserweight division was my favorite part of smackdown back in the day.
