SummerSlam was actually... good? Like... all of it?

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

LOL I didn’t see that coming.

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

Yea, I missed the first hour and got to watch it but the whole show flowed nicely and everything made sense

Nothing was boring or packed in

Yeah, that PPV was light years better than I expected going in.

[Shark]

I've legit been very out of touch with the WWE product, Raw and Smackdown anyway, but this was a hell of a show. Everyone came in really motivated. Maybe having the fans there in some capacity was a psychological boost?

[Chiral]

I had like zero hype going in based on the card, but it was really fun and had a big fight feel like I want out of Summerslam. Drew/Orton and Dom/Seth were the best matches IMO

[dbrussel]

Nope. Mandy Rose cant even set a table & that match was awful

Rest was decent / good

[john84]

I really enjoyed this SummerSlam. 8 out of 10 for me. I won't repeat what I posted in the other thread as I'd just be repeating myself but yeah really good show IMO and I'd recommend to someone who hasn't seen it to give it a go.

Reminded me of Stomping Grounds last year where the card wasn't very exciting, but the show itself ended up being excellent.

I just don’t understand the lack of Alexa & retribution.

Having the “big story” of the summer being a no-show aside from a hype vignette was a strange call. Not even any light flickers, IIRC.

Waited all night to see what they’d do with Alexa...

At least they said “security is extremely heightened” in regards to Retribution

Honestly no one would complain if Retribution was dropped and never mentioned again.

This, but also WWE PPVs got their run times slashed since they aren't trying to cram people onto the show, which has helped pretty much every quarantine PPV to some degree.

Good weekend of wrestling, it's honestly nice when it happens

And look at the non stop train this week. RAW on Monday, DARK on Tuesday, NXT on Wednesday, Dynamite on Thursday, Smackdown on Friday, and PAYBACK ON SUNDAY.

Like jesus christ WrestleMania season kicked in late

It feels like both WWE and AEW this week might have gone “OK, this COVID ain’t going away, but we gotta get crackin’ and start doing important shit on these shows.”

Good, both shows were kind of walking in circles, this has helped both products immensely to actually have what do you know? DEVELOPMENT.

Starting to seem like Alexa was only supposed to be involved in the Bray vs. Braun stuff for a few weeks. They'll probably be moving her into a feud with Nikki on SD.

[Finish Uncle Muffin’s Story]

I thought it was great. Even Mandy/Sonya was watchable and given their week, I’m not giving Mandy shit for the table problem. Shit happens.

[Mister Pigwell]

It was a good solid show. HATED the video wall at first but I adapted in a few matches and it was fine.

[Deleted]

The main event wasn’t the best thing I’ve seen, but the minute The Big Dog showed up, it felt so much better.

Very solid show. My expectations weren’t huge, but it overdelivered.
