Do they actually expect people to buy this based on the cover?

The 'casual' fans couldn't stomach Bryan getting shafted at the event...how are they supposed to buy SummerSlam on DVD/B-ray once they see the cover on shelves?

This has been brought up before, but I hate spoiler covers. Yeah, yeah...the event already transpired, but so have movies and episodic TV. You don't see the season finale spoiled on the cover of a TV show set, do you?

[Malcolm]

I don't really see anything.

You may wanna try a different source or hosting the image on an image hosting site since I can't get it to show either.

That looks pretty bad, even by WWE standards. Where are the gigantic floating heads?

[Kash Flagg]

I don't see anything. That really IS a terrible cover.

[sammy123]

I think it was a google chrome thing...you should be able to see it now

[DZ: WF Legacy]

Nothing like killing the suspense of the main event*...

*Yes, everyone knows what happened now, but in the future someone might forget/have no idea.

["American Nightmare" B.B. Bart]

It'd be like if the Money in the Bank 2011 cover spoiled CM Punk winning the WWE Title...

Oh, wait.

[wildojinx]

Havent they done this multiple times before? Off the top of my head i remember Survivor Series 08, Summerslam 2010, and MITB 2011 all having "spoiler" covers.

[sammy123]

Think back to when you were a kid and rented your first WWF/E event at a video store, but this time the ending was spoiled...lol

[sammy123]

The cover is such a downer, though, that I can see sales being affected

No, but you do sometimes see endings of movies spoiled on DVD covers. (I'm looking at you, classic Planet of the Apes DVD cover.)

Great way to get HHHeat

[Perd]

In future newa. that's also the cover of "WWE Presents: The 25 Greatest Kicks to the Balls of the IWC". Sure to be a best seller.

I imagine seeing Triple H turn heel after ~7 years is a bigger draw for the 'casual' fans than anything or anyone else in the main event.

Though I do have to question not putting Brock on the cover.

This would've made a better cover:



Or even the PPV poster:

Fatal 4 Way as well.

Every DVD cover should be R-Truth leaning against a brick wall smoking a cigarette.

[mattperiolat]

Man, WWE just does not care about spoilers anymore, do they? Yeah, I know, in the age of the 'net, it is really not news anymore, just saying.

This year's Rumble as well. Rock with the belt and the word "Finally" on there. Subtle, WWE.
