Could somebody please write a letter why Big Show

[Guest Choken One]

Not really...

 

If we get Quad Tearage or Hartization or Legit Montreal 2

 

I'm plomping down for the REPLAY!

[Guest JaKyL25]

What happens if we get all 3? You buy the replay, the VHS release, and the DVD?

 

There should be a game about the match

 

"lessee...ooh, a stiff kick....HHH selling the sore leg...Spear into the ringpost...HHH goes for the Indian Deathlock...Flair gets speared-"

 

"Bingo!"

 

"Dammit, I was a sledgehammer shot away!"

[Guest Choken One]

There's gotta be a Sharpshooter spot...JUST GOTTA.

[Guest JaKyL25]

Naww, they have to update it for the NEW MILLENIUM~!

 

It will now be a Sleeperhold Screwjob. Possibly the Indian Deathlock.

[Guest Choken One]

That's WAY to intense! We can't get that damn edgy...

 

Maybe a Boston Crab would be better...

[Guest JaKyL25]

Whoa whoa whoa, settle down! We can only handle so much excitement in our Montreal Finishes.

 

How about HHH plays the old 'Got your nose!" trick on Goldberg, and Vince calls for the bell. Stop the match, it's too violent! HHH retains due to dismemberment.

 

Post-match:

Goldberg: I would say that something smelled fishy about that finish, but I really can't since I have no nose.

Unless you want Lesnar Vs SOH and Angle Vs TBS....

Lesnar/Angle vs. TBDTTP in the next to last match.

I can see that working. Michaels and Austin were tag cahmps, Austin and Taker were tag champs, Jericho and Benoit were Tag Champs, why can't we have a one-two month run with Lesner-Angle as champs and then build it up slowly to WM (with a Benoit two month title run in the middle).

And what AS is trying to convey is that YES, those matches are special, but they are by-and-large forgotten about or at least on a lower-tier of memorable wrestling moments because Summerslam just doesn't have the "It" factor of WrestleMania. Sure, people have fond memories of HHH vs. HBK or the Boiler Room Brawl. But imagine if those EXACT same matches occurred at a WrestleMania. They'd be practically legendary, just based on the WrestleMania stigma.

 

Summerslam doesn't have that stigma, as witnessed by the fact that these matches aren't thought of very much. Ergo, AS wants Angle vs. Lesnar to be the Main Event, because the main event of ANY PPV has at least a bit of a memorable stigma to it that the undercard doesn't have.

 

Not to argue either way. Just trying to help get across what people seem to not be getting.

I will say that no matter what the ending to the matches are, I'd rather cap the night off with Angle vs. Lesnar than HHH vs. Goldberg. Wouldn't you?

Precisely.

[Guest The Czech Republic]

Ah, but here's why HHH/Goldberg should be the last match. We'll be coming off a spectacular Angle/Lesnar match, and we'll all be psyched, going "YEAH! How can they follow THAT?" then...they won't. A bad match will look even worse coming off the heels of a great one, the match will feel like a letdown, the Goldberg hate will get worse, and the chances of FGB making it to WMXX get worse and worse.

[Guest Choken One]

Hell...The chances for FGB making it to Unforgiven is 20% right now...Mania? about .00000002 percent.

[Guest undisputedjericho]

Test/Shane was still the main thing people remember bout Summerslam 1999...

 

No way, Mick Foley finally the WWF Championship on a PPV (a HUGE PPV at that) was certainly more memorable along with Jesse Ventura being involved.

That whole SummerSlam is forgotten by now especially when you look at it compared with the recent years that it is surrounded by.

 

It's not remembered because:

 

1) Other Slam's were much better

2) Foley's title win lasted only 24 hours

3) Shane has gotten 200% more insane since then

4) They wasted The Rock with Billy Gunn

5) Nothing else on the card is memorable

Glad I could be of service, my liege.

 

And yeah, I'd say undisputedjericho is dead on with the reasons for Summerslam '99's faded significance.

 

Thinking about the Angle vs. Lesnar vs. Big Show match, the obvious finish to lead to Angle vs. Lesnar is to have Lesnar pin Big Show, thus killing off their feud and keeping Angle in contention at the same time, but something just occurred to me--what if they build to Lesnar vs. Angle by having ANGLE pin Show for the title? I could see that happening. Hopefully Lesnar doesn't just win it right back, though. It would definitely feed into the proposed "Lesnar feels insecure about his abilty to retain/win the Championship" angle that I've seen people suggesting.
