Team Angle Pusher Posted August 21, 2005 Author Report Posted August 21, 2005 Why is it disturbing? I thought we all liked long title reigns, Batista has had the same long reign. They might try to shock us with a Jericho victory because 3 Faces in a row winning doesn't fit WWE Logic.
Hunter's Torn Quad Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 Shocking just to shock, especially when it would be bad for business, is Russo-level stupidity. WWE have too much invested in Cena to blow it on having him lose the belt to Jericho just to shock people.
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 As a quick note, the guy I spoke to who works for WWE told me "Not to be critical when I talk to you tomorrow", that it would "All pan out". Doesn't sound too good, folks.
Lil' Bitch Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 You know its real funny seeing Michaels finally taking on Hogan. I still remember at KOTR 1993 that promo HBK cut on Hogan, which was practically setting up a match even though it was indeed Hogan's last show back then. I don't remember the promo exactly, but if anybody can pop in the tape real quick and type down what Michaels says, that'd be awesome. Here's another interesting question though, will the most hyped match of the event, Hogan Vs. Michaels, go on last (ala Bigelow / Taylor)? Or seeing how the WWE Championship has returned the flagship show, will the title finally go back to main eventing joint-brand PPVs after not doing so for a very long 26 months? Or will the World Heavyweight Title get one last hurrah considering it is the champion's hometown? What do you guys think?
Hunter's Torn Quad Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 Michaels v Hogan really has to go on last. It will be the most heated match, and neither title match will be able to follow it. I'd prefer a title match to go one last, and if one were to go on last it should be Batista v JBL to send the crowd home happy with the hometown guy winning, but realistically, it should be Michaels v Hogan, or the title match after it will have no heat.
caboose Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 English Cable broadcaster Ntl have not picked up SummerSlam so I miss it for the first time since 97. Wonderful. I'm not willing to get the webcast either because I wont be able to keep it.

That's about all I can remember.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 Someone has my Hogan Wrestling Buddy behind them.. No Refs or anything in the Hardy/Edge match?? Hurricane vs Masters? ugh
MarvinisaLunatic Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 Um.. Cenamania.. It just doesn't have the same ring to it.
SuperJerk Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 US TV has too many adverts too often!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We're lucky to get 42 minutes of actual show per hour these days.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 I just wonder when Eddy/Rey will end considering I dont see tonights ladder match being the end.
SuperJerk Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 [email protected] WTF? <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
ChrisMWaters Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 [email protected] WTF? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Should Christy be jealous that she didn't get her own E-mail addy?
Dips Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 Not looking too busy here tonight, not many people ordered it? Seen a stream on the net for a couple of dollars if people are interested. http://streamtvnow.com/board/subscriptions.php? Pay up there then go to the forums and log on to the stream.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 [email protected] WTF? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thats Diva Search winner Ashley's email, they just gave it out on heat. I guess her phone got tied up..
BorneAgain Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 Considering the sheer amount of talent left off this card (Shelton, Booker, Christian, Regal, London, Nunzio, Mexicools, MNM, Big Show, Carlito, Kerwin) is anybody else dissapointed that Masters-Hurricane was the best heat match they could come up with? edit: It just occured to me that Raw has all fresh matches, while Smackdown's are all rematches from Wrestlemania or the Bash. Pretty telling.
Guest *KNK* Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 Considering the sheer amount of talent left off this card (Shelton, Booker, Christian, Regal, London, Nunzio, Mexicools, MNM, Big Show, Carlito, Kerwin) is anybody else dissapointed that Masters-Hurricane was the best heat match they could come up with? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> each show should have a heat match in theory but showing the HBK/Hogan package a third time was more important.
The Czech Republic Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 You're not trying hard enough. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I expected more love for the Tull.

I guess the realized that the second Big Show breaks the master lock and beats him, Masters is rendered totally useless.
Repo Man jr Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 English Cable broadcaster Ntl have not picked up SummerSlam so I miss it for the first time since 97. Wonderful. I'm not willing to get the webcast either because I wont be able to keep it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I ordered it on my NTL box this afternoon?
Guest *KNK* Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 I think I will bite the bullet and get this, I almost considered waiting for the replay but I figure the appeal of watching a replay isn't there. Im not watching for the Work-rate, thats void here tonight but more for the spectacle and the curiosity of how Shawn/Hogan works. This will be the 6th PPV i order this year...which triples my total from 2002-2004.
Guest Askewniverse Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 Considering the sheer amount of talent left off this card (Shelton, Booker, Christian, Regal, London, Nunzio, Mexicools, MNM, Big Show, Carlito, Kerwin) is anybody else dissapointed that Masters-Hurricane was the best heat match they could come up with?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm still wondering why a Carlito vs. Benjamin No DQ, No Count-out Match isn't on the main card. Someone has my Hogan Wrestling Buddy behind them..<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Dirty!
BorneAgain Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 Well that was certainly worth the heat time slot.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 wow..what a pointless match.. I dont think this was the where Masters needed to realize he could just slap on the Masterlock 30 seconds into the match and win all the time..but..whatever..

Guest *KNK* Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 Might I add that the SummerSlam set is terribly generic and yet effective. I'd take that over gaudy over the top sets.
Guest *KNK* Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 I wouldn't put it past them to put Cena/Jericho in the first hour. I'm guessing Ladder Match or US Title match jerks.
Guest *KNK* Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 I love how they use the footage from April for Backlash as a part of the set up for the August match, combinding them as if they were the same angle.
