Summerslam is this weekend for the WWE. The first ever that will be two nights. Looks like a lot of good matches on the card. Fatu vs Solo in a steel cage for the US title. The TLC tag title match with six teams. Jey Uso and Roman Reigns vs Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. Punk vs Gunter for the world heavyweight title. Rhodes vs Cena for the WWE championship in a street fight.

 

[iheartcarolina]

Looked like ticket sales were pretty strong, so there could be more of these 2-night productions in the future.

Follow no context Flair and The Dream

So, is Cena really back to being a face or is he setting up Cody for Summerslam?

Yes lol.

Honestly I think Cody goes heel or Seth cashes in.

They have one chance to turn Cena face. If this is a Swerve then you can forget about him turning face before retirement.

 

[CarolinaFever]

I actually think Summerslam looks better on paper than Wrestlemania.

 

[Unc12003]

Well Seth just cashed in. I was hoping to get a punk title run so not sure how I feel about it

 

[UNCLife]

Knew it! Wrong match I thought it would be but knew it.

 

[CarolinaFever]

I figured Punk was going to win and Rollins would cash in. I think they could have made it more dramatic, though. Rollins could have came down with the crutches and told Punk as soon as he can he's cashing in and coming after him, then hit Punk with one of the crutches and then beat him down.

I thought overall the first night was okay but could have been a little better. Tomorrow night should be better with the steel cage match with Solo and Fatu, the TLC tag title.match, and the Cena and Rhodes street fight. I think either Cena was playing Cody on Smackdown, or maybe Cody turns heel.

Also, Roman and Bronson Reed were both lucky they didn't land on their heads when they dove out the ring.

 

[UNCLife]

No Cody heel turn, clean win with Brock attacking Cena for 100th time after.

 

[UNCLife]

Roman Reigns continues to look weak as hell

 

[judnnc]

CF will be happy to know AJ Lee is probably returning

Those legs of hers...

 

[UNCLife]

Looks like an Usos reunion against Reed and Breaker.

 

[UNCLife]

Another squash Lesnar vs Cena match. Horrible start to the show.

 

[CarolinaFever]

Roman is back again. Looks like maybe a reunion with the Usos. Not sure what else they are going to do with Solo and Fatu now.

I saw that Raw was at PNC Arena this past Monday. I can't stand the modern WWE but I still probably would have gone if I was given a free ticket and had the time (which is actually saying something, at least these days).

I was there. It's not a cheap ticket--and I was there only because my kids are into it--but it is admittedly a good time (especially if you have fun people sitting near you, which we did) and a bigtime production.

Also, the Uso brothers entered the arena via the aisle we were sitting near. My 10yo daughter got a high five from Jimmy. She was so happy.

this is awesome!

Going to watch every Rumble PPV from 93-02 this month. Any fond memories?

 

[Reddfoxx00]

Didn't realize it came on early.

Watching on delay. Man the women's attire is weird. Vince must have got paid the farm.

 

[UNCLife]

Swerve turned heel. I'm glad, he's a better heel.

I just... Can't get into AEW as anymore. It's so.. I don't even know. 5 hours for a PPV and the kick outs are ridiculous. I know wrestling lost its magic a long time ago but this is.. Something

I actually prefer it over WWE right now. The first night of mania was so underwhelming.

It sucked. More adds than wrestling

Night 2 was a little better, but you are correct about the ads.

 

[MagnumTA]

For the old school fans - WWE has put most of the old Mid Atlantic episodes previously in their library on the WWE Network and Peacock on their YouTube Vault channel.

I haven't really watched WWE in 10 yrs. Cannot stand the jerky camera shots throughout the matches and the Disney like production. Been watching AEW off and on since around 2021 and think it's a much better wrestling organization for those of us that grew up watching the Dusty and Flair era back in the early 80's.

Agree completely about AEW. FTR are a prime example of throwback 80’s wrestling.

 

[UNCLife]

Fatu a heel now?

 

[unctarheel1984]

Jim Cornette’s “Back To The Territories” retrospectives are really good. Each episode focuses on a different territory - origins, history, owners, bookers, major talent and storylines which guests providing stories and commentary. It’s free on YouTube.

A similar series is “Tales From the Territories” hosted by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. I pick that up through Hulu.

Also “Dark Side of the Ring” which mostly highlights one particular wrestler or storyline. It’s on Vice TV which I get through Hulu.
