Chances of Summerslam being the ppv that never ends like WM 32 seem pretty high...

Maybe so, but I'm not sold yet. I like SS's card a hell of a lot more than I did Mania's. The two world title matches alone could be barn burners.

I dunno. Takeover wasn't anything special, some nice moments but eh.
Summerslam has Rollins vs Balor, Ziggler vs Ambrose, Brock vs Orton.
All depends how it's booked really.

Summerslam is going to be like 8 1/2 hours so just on the basis that Hunter knows less is more, yes, yes it will.

The fact that on paper SummerSlam is six hours and is probably going to go at least half an hour over alone pretty much guarantees it'll be the weaker show. That and that we have to do a second round in a week of Reigns and Rusev putting everyone to sleep to kill all momentum the show has.
Though while the card's up and down, I am at least interested in SummerSlam and easily could see it being a good show. Still, the twice the length thing is going to hurt it no matter what.

Matches always get hurt on the main roster ppvs due to time management and people (Ambrose/Lesnar), live performances (Florida Georgia Line), length of matches (10 matches) and length of the program (4+ hours for Summerslam). Needless to say yeah, Takeover will destroy it.

Unlike Wrestlemania I don't think NXT will blow SS out of the water. I'm sure tonight's PPV will be better than Summerslam but I'm expecting Ambrose/Ziggler, Cena/Styles, and Balor/Rollins all to be 4 star matches.

Did Takeover have a three hour concert featuring Machine Gun Kelly and Flo Rida? No. Summerslam Wins.

SummerSlam has a pretty good looking card, so I'm not writing the show off yet just because Takeover was awesome.

I'm not expecting a murking per se, but SummerSlam would have to blow Takeover completely out of the water for people to even consider it to be a possibility that SummerSlam was better. And again, there's no concert scheduled for SummerSlam itself. There was meant to be one yesterday or the day before but it got cancelled. www.barclayscenter.com/events/detail/wwe-summerslam-concert-2016 |

Takeover was really good. If Summerslam can be close then I will be very happy.
There's gonna be a LOT of summerslam tomorrow. It'll be like wrestlemania with the long preshow and 4 hours of PPV.

Since it's the 'new era' I believe a lot of people are trying to emulate NXT's success with these big live events and a handful of NXT-alums are already on the Summerslam card (Rollins v Balor for the Uni title for instance) so I have higher hopes than usual for Summerslam outpacing NXT for once this weekend.

Summerslam isn't going to really be six hours though. Even most of the people here are just going to mildly listen to the preshow until the matches go on. But yeah, four hour show with an overrun and another three matches is excessive. However, Takeover always smoking the main roster PPVs when they run the same week has been more about the NXT show just being better booked than the WWE show. Remember when the TLC PPV with that f***ing Stairs match had to follow R Evolution? |
