WWE SummerSlam 2016

Mainly interesting because of the Balor v Rollins match. I really hope they don't do a screwy finish with that one. Give them 20 minutes to put on a show, no interference. Would be great.

Would love Ziggler to win, but it won't happen. One of my favourites and he's more than good enough to be champion.

Never noticed that Crews has no neck. Look at him! His shoulders have swallowed up his neck!

Feel like this is the time when the New Day will drop the titles as well. Got to happen some time, and get the feeling it will be to Anderson & Gallows.

Is this actually the order they're actually promoting for the card? If so I'm surprised that the Champ matches are so far down! On the other hand it's nice to see the Tag champ match headlining!

No idea what the order is, but that's how they're ordering it on the WWE website. I don't think that's usually held any significance though. Neither top nor bottom of that list would headline the PPV given some of the other matches.

Yeah I did wonder... Though I thought they normally put the headlining match at the top of the card. Still, look like a potentially entertaining line up.

Updated the first post. I guess the last match I listed is now set to change. Am I sad about that? Am I fuck, I never want to see Eva Marie on a PPV ever.

The Cesaro and Sheamus match has been moved to the pre-show. That's bullshit, Cesaro is great and should be on there. Must make them both feel pretty bad as well just being demoted to the pre-show less than 24 hours before the PPV.

Especially with them hyping this thing up as a massive series of matches.

Should be a good show tonight. A lot of matches that have good potential. Pretty excited too see if Styles pins Cena clean or not.

Cena's going over even with Club help and Rollins wins clean, setting up Cena chasing Rollins for the title while Styles and Balor are constantly used to put over Reigns' US Title run.

Oh, my god. Ambrose is so fucking boring it's not even funny. His interview with Austin didn't help matters, either.

And are they really putting Reigns above both World Title matches?

And why the hell is the Universal Title pink? If they were going to steal our idea, they could've at least made it blue.

WWE Title will be blue because it's on SD...duh ya dumb wolf

Wolfie, you shut your mouth. Ambrose is amazing. 😋

Orton is boring.

Orton at least has a good finisher. Dean Ambrose is just "whoa, look out guys, I'm CRAZY!" and supposedly unpredictable, but he does the same five fucking spots every single match and they're so super obvious and then he has that Miley Cyrus tongue thing and I just have never liked him since the Shield broke up. But then again, I find Rollins very overrated, as well. He lands on his feet about 10% of the time he's supposed to, and it bugs me. It really bugs me. Why keep trying the spot when you always land on your ass doing it?

Finally someone agrees with me about Ambrose. So overrated and thinks stupid faces and sticking his tongue out during matches is "character".

Can't agree on Rollins though. He is good.

Odd PPV really, especially when it came to placements of the matches. New top title and it's the 3rd to last match? The Smackdown one is near smack in the middle of the PPV? US Title match is above both? I could understand having one top title opening the show with the other ending, but to place them both in the middle is just weird.

And the US Title match... Reigns get's a title shot and so smashes him with a chair instead of getting into the ring to start the actual match... dumb fucker. They really didn't book him as a bright person at all there. And what a cop out on the match. There are better ways to keep both looking strong. The attack was cool, but really it should have been a Raw thing, not a PPV one if they weren't going to do the match afterwards. Waste of time advertising it.

Oh, and the Universal Title looks horrible. Who knew that basically just changing the colour of the belt would have such a drastic change on the look. Never really liked the current WWE title anyway, but it looks miles better than it does in red which is just nasty looking.

The Cena and AJ Styles match though was great. Really enjoyed that match, which more than made up for any problems I had with the PPV really.

Average show. Nothing was terrible on this show. There was a few stand outs. Liked the Womens match for the title, even if it was sloppy. Cena vs. Styles was another classic, I almost shit my pants when Styles won clean. Rollins vs. Balor was good but the crowd distracted me. Orton vs. Lesnar, my streamed screwed up so I didnt get to see much. But that was alot of blood wow.

Cena vs Styles, Finn vs Seth were good.

I personally liked Lesnar vs Orton, granted it could have went a few more minutes.

Womens title match was sloppy and I remember at least 3 botches. I expect better from both Sasha and Charlotte.

Everything else was average.

Oh yeah, and the Universal Title looks like shit.

So Seth injured someone else. Two injuries and an ended career while still missing six months this year. He's such a sloppy fuck and doesn't even care.

Finn obviously used his arm to cushion the fall and probably knew he shouldn't have done that immediately, tough to stop a natural reaction

So Seth injured someone else. Two injuries and an ended career while still missing six months this year. He's such a sloppy fuck and doesn't even care.

Yeah. The dude probably shouldn't be allowed to do powerbombs every again really. He's injuring everyone lol

I think Seth is a great worker and anyone who can't see that is crazy - but I agree he needs to cut the sloppy shit out as he's caused enough injuries.

When he was with the Shield he was a great worker. Now he's seemingly just phoning it in. I find most of his matches boring and predictable, which seems to be the Shield curse after they split, and pushing him to the moon constantly doesn't help things for me.  His promos are average to above average, but again, most of them are the same thing said in a different way. He just doesn't do it for me. I like his gimmick and that's really about it, but he doesn't even play the sleazy lowlife, do anything to win with as much help as possible, role anymore.

Nose. Spine. Shoulder. his own knee.. John Stewarts testicle he got from gallows and anderson after summerslam... he is making a Frankenstein wrestler with body parts he is collecting.

Now that I could get behind. I remember back when Orton kept getting hurt and then HHH would get hurt, I started joking that Trips was using Orton for spare parts. I gave him the nickname Spare Parts Orton and even now I sometimes say it by accident and no one but me gets it and explaining the whole story just really isn't funny. But Mad Scientist Rollins is a gimmick I'd enjoy. Give him a lab coat and a dim-witted assistant, maybe Braun Strowman, and have them haul off every wrestler he beats to the back to add to his creation. Then six months later, debut a wrestler with vitiligo.

Edited because I originally said "beats off" and that's not how I want to see this gimmick go.
