    What I want to know is how did the bell ringer see Taker tapping?

    Never forget that 2 years ago the WWE network transitioned away from the shattered husk of John Cena's corpse after being taken to Suplex City with this bumper.

    really the main event should have ended with the reveal that the time keeper was jon stewart

  • wirehead26wirehead26 Registered User regular
    Well the ending to Summerslam turned most against it. Sad as it was a great show IMO.

    That finish gave me a bad, bad thought...

    What if Russo's back with WWE?

    I was expecting the camera to flip around and show Jon Stewart as the bell ringer.

    in honor of stephen amell's pretty solid performance, I'm going to continue to not watch arrow

    Brock didn't need to be "protected" was my main problem with that finish

    He gets his defiant finish this way? Well okay

    An even more defiant finish would have been him manhandling Taker

    Summerslam was a fun 4 hours of wrestling, a feat I did not expect the WWE to accomplish but here we are.

    I was expecting Taker\Lesnar to be tedious but what I got was a vast improvement from my preconception.

    Like that's my biggest problem here, how did he know to ring the bell. Brock was protected well and Taker had to rely on cheating to win which is fine but man WWE had to know that ending would be negatively received.

    Both were excellent shows.
    I liked the NXT show more, but I'm not saying Summerslam was terrible. I'm saying that, there is a huge difference between all clean finishes and having some poorly done (imo) screwy ones, especially for the main event and ending of the PPV. Add on to that how they booked the women, and I just came away with a bad feeling instead of being super pumped (even though the women's match for NXT should have been the main event).

    YMMV, but I think that contrast is a bummer!

    An even more defiant finish would have been him manhandling Taker

    They had a feud continue at a time when they didn't want either guy to lose right now

    Which begs the question "why did they bring the feud back now, instead of months from now when they'll actually want someone to lose"
    That finish gave me a bad, bad thought...

    What if Russo's back with WWE?

    He's not

    He'd have had Stewart pin Cena and win both belts during the interference

    Which now that I'm thinking about it would have been amazing

  • Goose!Goose! That's me, honey Show me the way home, honeyRegistered User regular
    Meh. I think the emphasis on clean vs "fuck" finishes is a little overblown sometimes, at least in terms of the quality of the product. Yes, that ending to the Main event of the show was fucking dumb, but overall the match was still very good.

    Sunday night is my tabletop night, so I only caught the main event.

    I think this is setting up for the retirement match at Mania. I understand why they went with a Dusty finish, but I'm not sure it was needed.

    I then looked up the results for the other matches and saw John screwed John and am totally baffled.

  • Sweeney TomSweeney Tom try The Substance it changed my lifeRegistered User regular
    Heyman's stunned look during that whole exchange made it even better

  • UnbreakableVowUnbreakableVow Registered User regular
    I still think Mania 31 was better

    But if this hadn't fumbled the Divas match and the ending to the main event it probably would have taken it

    After NXT Takeover I will say this. Simon Gouche really comes off like if they let Santino be serious. He's got an eclectic offense that is just kinda unique among the roster. I for one will sign all the petitions that they never break up the Vlaudvillians.

  • wirehead26wirehead26 Registered User regular
    This throws Taker vs Sting into even more questionable territory now.

    Unless Taker is up for wrestling Brock again at Survivor Series and ends his career vs Sting.

    WWE wants us talking about the finish whether it's negative or not.

    They know almost everyone will come back.

    They do that shit all the time. If you don't want either guy to lose, don't book the fucking match.

    Those people are silly and think silly things. Seriously, there was so much good going on and yet the ending of a non-title match ruins all of it? Excuse me while I blow raspberries at that method of thinking.

    SummerSlam was a good show with some really dumb/bad parts but some incredible matches. Kind of a usual WWE PPV in that regard, really.

    I will watch the second half of Takeover tomorrow and try not to cry. (I will probably cry.)

    For me personally I didn't like the finish but it didn't ruin the show at all. It's all about the aftermath now.

    a fuck finish that made both of them look bad

    Brock had Taker in a kimura lock and Taker tapped out which made the time keeper ring the bell but the ref didn't see the tap out and started arguing with the time keeper and while that was going on Brock was watching all confused and Taker gets up, low blows him from behind, puts him in the hell's gate, lesnar refuses to tap, gives taker the finger, passes out, match is stopped taker wins.
