damn! i love Jericho but the new kid should win the belt establishing the title starting off with new blood Honestly in the moment if Page wins the belt I'm probably not watching AEW until he loses it. I'm so thoroughly unimpressed with this guy I'm heavily considering skipping All Out entirely because I expect him to win. same, i want to like him but he hasnt really done anything that's wowed me lol

SummerSlam was a fun show. I loved every match except for Goldberg/Ziggler, Owens/McMahon, Stratus/Flair, & Balor/Wyatt.

Awesome. I'll get to update my list. I've got it somewhere in a txt file somewhere. Also I think I might have posted it in the Obscure Facts thread at some point. While I’m at it, Lynch is one away as well, but with the asterisk of having lost a match at Royal Rumble before winning later in the night. Yes, and those are the only 2 left for 2019. (Becky Lynch would join Stone Cold Steve Austin and Daniel Bryan in the more dubious honor: Stone Cold won at all 4 in 1998, but also lost one match at the SvS98. D-Bry won at all 4 in 2013, but also lost 1 at RR13 and also lost 1 at SS13. Seth can join those at the perfect 4-0; Razor Ramon in 1994; The Undertaker in 1995; CM Punk in 2012; Sheamus in 2012; Charlotte Flair in 2016.)

Is it me or was that the laziest Magic Killer from Karl Anderson I've ever seen in the post-match for Styles and Ricochet? He didn't even leave his feet for the move.

I just realized the design going all the way up Trish's back is CN Tower. Cool idea, bad, goldy butt execution.
Yeah like when Mark Henry had a guy lifting weights on his back that looked like a poorly drawn diagrahm of female reproductive organs.
Oh THAT'S what that was?

Oh THAT'S what that was? Are we talking about this logo? It's not quite the Wrestlemania Women's Battle Royal trophy, but I can't unsee it now either.

Last night, I gave my opinion on SummerSlam as I watched it, but I was distracted for a lot of the matches & didn't have 100% focus on them. Today, without distractions, I re-watched the entire show and I take back what I said. I loved every single match. I even liked Goldberg/Ziggler. I shouldn't use my dislike for Goldberg to judge a match. It was fun for what it was. Also, I was wrong about Stratus/Flair. Both women worked extremely hard. I also said I didn't like Balor/Wyatt. To showcase The Fiend, it was good. I even didn't mind Owens/McMahon. Though it was my least favorite match, it did its purpose. The only thing I didn't like was the finish of Kingston/Orton, since I don't like Count Outs on PPVs, but it made sense to continue the feud. Thank you for letting me share my opinion on SummerSlam and maybe I need to learn to pay attention more and not quickly judge a match.

I don't know why I still let myself get excited for Randy Orton matches. His batting average is so bad. When he's great he's really great but that's not much use if he only shows that once in a blue moon. That's both Wrestlemania and Summerslam when I was expecting his match to be the best of the night and hopefully a MOTYC and both disappointed. The finish was crap but even before that they didn't exit second gear.
AJ is another one whose matches rarely live up to the hype now, He was killing it in 2016 and early 2017 but ever since then most of his big matches underwhelmed. A lot of his Owens/Nakamura/Joe/Bryan rivalries were filled with average matches and now his two matches with Ricochet haven't set the world alight either. Maybe I'm being too hard on him. He is in his 40s now. Maybe age is just catching up to him.

The one that springs to mind oddly enough is Balor's first time he showed up as the Demon.
