All right Blog of Doomers, it's about 90 minutes before bell time so I wanted to give you guys an extra few minutes to get your live thread form down and ready for the show.
I am on that boat of expecting two ****+ matches and I think someone is going to bust their ass for a third match hovering around ****.
I've been doing a shit ton of work today and I caught all three parts of Steve Austin's podcast with Kevin Nash and even though it's about five hours total it's absolutely easy listening. Basically you're ease dropping in on a conversation and they cover EVERYTHING. The podcasts don't appear to be on YouTube anymore but they are free on iTunes and someone has uploaded them to DailyMotion. And I think you can grab them off the show's website too. Seriously listen. I almost want a Kevin Nash podcast after hearing them.
Quick picks:
Ambrose over RVD in the pre-show.
Sandow over Rhodes
A.J. & Big E over Dolph/Kaitlyn
Christian over Albeto Del Rio via DQ
Wyatt over Kane
Punk over Lesnar
Bryan over Cena (with Orton cashing in and going over).
First thoughts...damn a lot of heels are in position to go over tonight. This is almost like Crockett card. I think Punk wins because despite the idea having a stronger Lesnar is better for the business, the powers that be seem to think he's better suited putting over established talent.

Enjoy the show!
You know, "The Best vs The Beast" works for both main events!
ReplyDeleteAlright then, No Guts, No Glory: Summerslam 2013
ReplyDeletePost your three boldest predictions, stuff that is really out-there and unexpected, but which you have a hunch about anyway. I'll start.
1) Cena straight-up wins.
2) Sandow cashes in on Christian after he beats ADR.
3) Brock/Punk goes to a no-contest, fans burn down the arena.
Man so Dolph is losing again by Kaitlyns pinfall? Do you think Kaitlyn's weight gain has to do with her looking like the biggest loser in the company?
ReplyDeleteFew quick thoughts at staples:
ReplyDeleteHoly crap there's a lot of fake belts
There's cena, Bryan and punk in terms of popularity. No one else is even close.
Lots of women here; lots of adults with cena shirts
If spoilers are up on reddit, please don't post them or even hint about it.
ReplyDeleteIs there another live band performance tonight? I need to know when to take my bathroom break.
ReplyDelete1. Brie Bella wins
ReplyDelete2. Triple H turns heel
3. Total Divas gets its highest rating yet.
I will be skipping the show tonight, so as the new guy, I would like to ask that all posters please use generic, non-revealing exclamations such as the following: "The crowd is jacked", "I think he's gonna go for it", "Did that just happen??" and my personal favorite "I can't believe they put that guy over that other guy." That way, I can participate in the thread without having to have it ruined for me. Thanks. Love, The Stranger.
ReplyDeleteCan we PM Stranger in the Alps?
ReplyDeleteFake *titles*. Belts are for holding your pants up.
ReplyDeleteDuring the divas match of course
ReplyDelete"PM"?
ReplyDeleteNot in the live threads. Sorry dude.
ReplyDeleteFind a way to tell him without telling anyone else?
ReplyDeleteThere are two...
ReplyDeleteHow nice of them... if you miss the first bathroom break, you have one more.
ReplyDelete1. Sandow cashes in his MiTB briefcase
ReplyDelete2. Shield loses their belts
3.
Shawn looks ridiculous with that beard.
ReplyDeleteJust got into to my seat, definitely a nice crowd here tonight
ReplyDeleteI'd kill for a Beard vs. Beard between Shawn and Bryan.
ReplyDeleteDear God does Shawn Michaels look awful! His trademarked camo is now expected but his big bushy grey beard makes him look like he's trying out for the new season of Duck Dynasty!
ReplyDeleteShawn Michaels beard needs its own twitter account.
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
ReplyDeletePM's will only bounce back. I am in the Alps, you know. We only get dial up out here.
ReplyDeleteLooks like he's gone dark for this one
ReplyDelete1) Bray Wyatt pulls a 3 1/2 star match out of Kane
ReplyDelete2) Ricardo helps Christian beat ADR
3) Kaitlyn pins AJ
Beards are the thing right now, guess he wanted to jump on the bandwagon.
ReplyDeleteLiterally?
ReplyDeleteIf it's at Wrestlemania they probably could talk Shawn out of retirement to put over his top student.
ReplyDeleteYeah, starting with you.
ReplyDeleteyea but the second has Dolph and Big E in it as well. And if they have the majority of the time it could still be good.
ReplyDeletePretty sure Whisper has a Twitter.
ReplyDeleteSo any public WWE firings as of late for us to pinpoint who he was getting his info from?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the show guys. Got family stuff so I can't watch it. Here's hoping it delivers a fun night of wrestling. On a more marking level lets go Wyatt/Punk/Bryan!
ReplyDeleteWhy not just find an internet stream if you're going to bother watching this thread?
ReplyDeleteReddit spoilers are out!
ReplyDeleteOh dear...
Please keep them to yourself . . .
ReplyDeleteYeah, just caught them myself. Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking...
ReplyDeleteWhere?
ReplyDeleteLook up, and feel free to kill.
ReplyDeleteOne warning guys. Ban hammer is on.
ReplyDeleteSeriously. Quit with the fucking hints too.
ReplyDeleteThank you, those kind of ruined MITB for me
ReplyDeleteThe "ugh" and "oh dear" responses are saying too damn much already.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read them, but I fear this is going to be a long-ass night for thinly-veiled spoiler posts.
I did!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this I really appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteThank you
ReplyDeleteExactly. Passively pissing and moaning that you don't like the results is already saying too goddamn much.
ReplyDeleteAnd apparently the Reddit guy posted some shit? I'm out for the thread and will enjoy the show Internetz free!
ReplyDeleteReddit is the WCW Nitro to the blog's Raw pre-tapes apparently.
ReplyDeleteflair4dagold = Thor, likely with better hair.
ReplyDeleteQuestion: If (stressing IF) Cena beats Bryan cleanly tonight, does it negate the build-up for Daniel over the past few weeks?
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping that WWE, as they said in response to the gawker articles about reddit guy, spread lots of various false results about to pinpoint who was tipping off reddit guy/
ReplyDeleteI'm getting swept away in your negative votes, Zanadude. You better let me be your Brutus Beefcake tonight.
ReplyDeleteI'm kidding, man. I'm not watching the show but I'm not having it spoiled either. I have other plans. Which I will report here on the Blog when I'm done with them. For all to see.
ReplyDelete"Now, Professor, without knowing exactly what the finish will be, would you say it's time for our viewers to crack each other's heads, and feast on the goo inside?"
ReplyDelete"Yes I would, Kent."
Well good luck with the plans then
ReplyDeleteStage is very cheesy. Yes chants are already starting
ReplyDeleteI call bullshit, his thing still hasn't updated. They are fake
ReplyDeleteThey are not the real spoilers, its a fake
ReplyDeleteSeeing the empty seats and fans slowly walking in on the preshow is pretty awesome right now. Stage doesn't look too bad from what I can see on tv.
ReplyDeleteSo Darren Young steals Orton's briefcase and cashes in on Bryan? :P
ReplyDeleteThat's fine, but I'd rather not have my $60 spoiled again this month. Unfortunately, by deleting comments, I'll probably be spoiled if someone is stupid enough to post them.
ReplyDeleteI like the cut of your jib.
ReplyDeleteHey downvoter, I meant someone other than dolphin1925 did that. Its not from him
ReplyDeleteI want to watch the pre-show, but Brave is on Starz and I can't look away.
ReplyDeleteI ultimately wasn't that crazy about the movie, but it's just so gorgeous to look at.
Strangely, I got hooked in by flipping through and landing on a commercial for Starz's "The White Queen," which has Rebecca Ferguson (also known as one of Planet Earth's most achingly beautiful redheads).
So I'm watching through the new PS3 app, spent my $45 bucks to legally view this show, hope it doesn't disappoint, and hope the PS3 app doesn't break already had a very little bit of random stuttering though
ReplyDeleteWell we'll let you know the moment the preshow match starts.
ReplyDeleteNo lol I mean its not him, they aren't out there. I'm here with a buddy who doesn't watch wrestling and I told him about this dude and he's been obsessed with trying to see the spoilers
ReplyDeleteThis was a test of the emergency spoiler system.
ReplyDeleteHow nice!
ReplyDeleteYou are going to miss a lot of Josh Booker HBK and Vickie talking though . . . not really a bad thing.
ReplyDelete1) I'll take your Cena straight-up wins and say Bryan straight up wins.
ReplyDelete2) Taker makes an appearance
3) Someone will turn heel that's not Randy Orton.
I'm sorry, you're confusing me with Darren Young.
ReplyDeleteShawn Michaels just said before his beard people considered him a Diva and he was one foxy dude . . . not sure how to take that statement . . .
ReplyDeleteSo I was able to walk in with my "e cig" I'll be staying blazed for the whole show. I better get plenty of beer to keep away the cotton mouth
ReplyDeleteJesus christ I got here early because I thought the fucking RVD/Ambrose match was going to at 7. Where are those guys? I could have waited an extra half hour to get in here
ReplyDeleteI hope this doesn't suck!
ReplyDeleteI am predicting it goes on about 7:40
ReplyDeleteWatching the pre-show now (finally broke away from Brave once all the bullshit with the bears started).
ReplyDeleteBrad Maddox really needed to not be the first thing I say.
WWE can't run a fucking tag team match or something right now, I want some wrestling. There's various stupid dueling chants going on right now, for cena or bryan
ReplyDeletethey aren't even showing the pre-show on the big screen? That's kinda stupid.
ReplyDeleteDoes HBK's hobo-outta-control beard mean he's aligned himself with the Wyatt Family? TUNE IN NEXT WEEK ON NITRO!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like Shawn's face doesn't want to do the job for his beard.
ReplyDeleteNIKKI!
ReplyDeleteBRIE!
NIKI!
BRIE!
I was gonna say that!
ReplyDeleteBOOBBIEESS!
ReplyDeleteBeard to Shawn's Face: "Get the fuck out of my ring!"
ReplyDeleteYeah people are still filing in and you can watch HBK and them up on the screen but I can barely hear it and I'm not even that far from it. Seems like they could have rolled out some dudes to work a match if they were opening the doors at 330. Its cool though cuz I'm gonna go get some food
ReplyDeleteHmmm...$75 for Summerslam, or Total Divas for free!
ReplyDeleteJobbed out and turned down. Now I have to go to my wife for comfort; not cool, Charlie Brown.
ReplyDeleteGo for Option C
ReplyDeleteDo you wanna burn to death or drown?
ReplyDeleteBreaking Bad!
ReplyDeleteThe free chair is actually kind of cool. This is why I need a little nephew or a friend with a kid or something
ReplyDeleteMasked Reviewer streaming himself playing Tecmo Wrestling?
ReplyDeleteHalf a bottle of Riesling down, time for the 1 1/2 sized bottle.
ReplyDeleteIMPLANTS!
ReplyDeleteFLAT CHEST!
IMPLANTS!
FLAT CHEST!
Wow a big "We want Ryder" chant near my section, could a SoCo smark crowd be in the house?
ReplyDeleteor just steal the chair.......Thumbs up for petty crime.
ReplyDeleteI just wonder if I can really get away with keeping it at my place?
ReplyDeleteSo who opens the ppv? Alberto vs Christian? or Damien vs Cody?
ReplyDeleteWho's Ryder? ;-)
ReplyDeleteClean the chair because ya know, finger prints. Then come up with a solid alibi for where you were between 7:45 and 8pm.
ReplyDeleteIt's perfect.
Sure age loves Orton now; we'll see if she still feels that way after she opens her purse later.
ReplyDeleteWow, so they're going to give these guys at least 15? Can one hope?
ReplyDeletePre-show match is starting now
ReplyDeleteFLAT CHEST!
ReplyDeleteAfter a LONG hiatus from live threads due to not actually bothering to watch WWE, I AM BACK! YOU CAN HOLD YOUR APPLAUSE
ReplyDeleteWhat if Reddit Guy was just really, really lucky?
ReplyDeleteThe guy I hired to change my tire two months ago. I think he's still out there...
ReplyDeleteNice and early for this match, looks like they'll get at least 10 minutes to have a real match, 15 if we're lucky.
ReplyDeleteThe next TNA world champion?
ReplyDeleteI think Dolph/Kaitlyn vs Big E/AJ actually
ReplyDeleteYeah AMBROSE! nice heel boo pop
ReplyDeleteThey must want to lose the fans' attention fast.
ReplyDeleteDid Ambrose lose his Vest somewhere along the line? It seems odd he's been skipping it but Reigns/Rollins still have theirs.
ReplyDeleteDENTAL PLAN!
ReplyDeleteI have that going second
ReplyDeleteJACKSON RUEGERS,THE FUTURE OF TNA!!!
ReplyDeleteDean's got rid of the combat vest this week, has the rest of the Shield followed him in ditching em?
ReplyDeleteWhy doesn't the Shield have any merch? Like is it really that hard to put out some replica bulletproof vests?
ReplyDeleteBut what if I really REALLY want to start a slow clap?
ReplyDeleteI have one of their t-shirts if that counts for anything.
ReplyDeleteFYI and FWIW the Reddit DID NOT post any spoilers for this show. I wonder what happened to him? There was a fake set of spoilers picked up on by some dumb sites but no actual post from Dolphin1925
ReplyDeleteA little net savvy will get you the better show for the better price.
ReplyDeletewell RVD is your home town hero right?
ReplyDeleteOh you, go ahead, I'm flattered
ReplyDelete$45 for internet stream . . .
ReplyDeleteRVD seems to be moving at 3/4 speed right now.
ReplyDeleteJACK FLYER, WOOT WOOT WOOT, YOU'RE AWARE OF IT
ReplyDeleteWow, when VanDam looks at the camera straight on it looks like he shaved his head. That would be a weird look for him.
ReplyDeleteI noticed HBK saying that as well. Battle Creek weeps ;_;
ReplyDeleteHa! I just remarked the same thing to my brother.
ReplyDeleteI just started playing Call of Duty for the first time yesterday and I'm already addicted. Think I'm just gonna check out Lesnar/Punk and Cena/Bryan.
ReplyDeleteThey are the sworn enemy of WWE!
ReplyDeleteYAY!
ReplyDeleteEver?
ReplyDeleteI had to scower WWE Shop for their merch. I guess WWE just doesn't promote it.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be a wild crowd tonight.
ReplyDeleteYes. I don't have a PS3, I borrowed my brother's. He may never get it back.
ReplyDeleteLets go Ambrose! This is much hotter crowd than we had here last year
ReplyDeleteI'd say watch bray/Kane as well, it's his first match as the character, might surprise.
ReplyDelete"They love their sports entertainment!"
ReplyDeleteJesus, man, just say wrestling and take the heat. You sound like a moron.
lol, I went through my COD addiction with the first black Ops. It's really hard to put it down, so I don't even get them anymore. Been playing Far Cry 3, bad ass game.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing what Bryan in the main event can bring out crowd wise.
ReplyDeleteThe "TWO!" chants have started.
ReplyDeleteIf you brought my city 1 million dollars in revenue a year, I'd welcome you with open arms too. Shit, I'd throw in a complementary hooker.
ReplyDeleteRemember when Shield attacked without alerting their opponents with their music?
ReplyDeleteUt oh, maybe he gave out all his fucks already
ReplyDeleteSo many L.A. crowds have been lukewarm over the years for WWE events. This definitely feels like a more enthusiastic and smarter crowd
ReplyDeleteCAVALRY, JBL.
ReplyDeleteCa-val-ry.
IT'S NOT HARD.
Decent match so far, but of course they can't put it on the PPV because they have promote Total Divas.
ReplyDeleteCue Big Show and Mark Henry in 3,2...
ReplyDeleteMaybe, since he probably came from home, he smoked a little too much this time around . . .
ReplyDeleteThe whole crowd had a weird energy when that clicking shit came on, they are very over
ReplyDeleteThe impromptu tag team matches were my favorite thing about Paul Heyman booking of ECW
ReplyDeleteDoes this go on first when the actual ppv starts? And this is where we see if the Shield is actually getting pushed or depushed. Big Show is pretty much the gatekeeper.
ReplyDeleteDean's expressions and attitude are still just awesome, no one else sticks to there character more.
ReplyDeleteThis is so bush league lol
ReplyDeleteI really hope there's a separate original story mode in WWE 2K14, instead of a second straight year of reliving better days.
ReplyDeleteI actually like their original stories.
It's a good thing Show and Henry suited up in their ring gear when they weren't even scheduled for matches tonight!
ReplyDeleteI always picture everyone in the back always in their gear no matter what they're doing.
ReplyDeletethis is going to suck, apparently my paid for ps3 stream is like 3 minutes behind.
ReplyDeleteFans appreciative of Mark Henry's run atop of WWECW with those E-C-Dub chants
ReplyDeleteI know him! He's the flunky of that Gut Check loser!
ReplyDeleteYep, technology's weird. I've noticed during football season my non-paid for streams are often ahead of my cable hook up.
ReplyDeleteWhich is a true old-school attitude. ALWAYS bring your gear, just in case.
ReplyDeleteSo how many turns does this make for Big Show now in his WWE career?
ReplyDeleteThat's one touch I miss from the Attitude Era. Would it kill them to have the guys wear some jeans or athletic pants if they aren't booked for something?
ReplyDeleteListening to all the shit Seth Rollins is yelling on the outside of the ring makes me like him way more
ReplyDelete30000000th time,that's more than magneto.
ReplyDeleteI'm not watching the pre-show--did Show just join Shield?!
ReplyDeleteDo we count when he kinda sorta turned right before Wrestlemania
ReplyDelete(mental math... carry the two, divide by "false" turns...)
ReplyDelete42
Oh and that RVD spot looked insane live. I saw from like 50 feet back and it was just frightening
ReplyDeleteSgt Slaughter brings his gear to every show,even house shows...just in case!
ReplyDeleteIn the WWE Universe, the only attire that exists are spandex and jorts.
ReplyDeleteLOL WTF was that
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone still sport fanny packs? Cause they used to be everywhere especially in the wwe locker room.
ReplyDeleteJohn Cena. He seems the fanny pack type.
ReplyDeleteI think smart phones have done away with the need for them.
ReplyDeleteNo, but wait until Survivor Series.
ReplyDeleteI think he's just referring to his return as a face after being a heel before injury.
ReplyDeleteWill Brock Lesnar ever participate in a regular match again?
ReplyDeleteI thought the boys used em more as Soma carriers.
ReplyDeletec'mon, give us a 6-man match for the PPV. The Shield always delivers
ReplyDeleteI'm fine with RVD not jobbing there because the crowd was red hot for him and he can put ambrose over next month, but c'mon book a fucking finsih
ReplyDeleteI can see getting Booker and Vickie, but when did they get one of the guys from Duck Dynasty for the panel?
ReplyDeleteWhy do we care what Skinner thinks? He's never won a damn thing...
ReplyDelete(please shave, HBK, please)
HBK is compensating for the lack of head hair.
ReplyDeleteSocial media lounge? Oh god
ReplyDeleteHmmm.....looks like I need to establish my humor before posting. Sorry for the confusion.
ReplyDeleteBetter than going the Scott Tenorman route, I guess
ReplyDelete"The Social Media Lounge..."
ReplyDeleteDoes anybody at this company ever think to themselves, "Hey, that sounds kinda stupid..."
Ugh, Tout.
ReplyDeleteWe have our answer. Time to blow up the earth!
ReplyDeleteI don't even know if you can call it a lounge if there's only one person chilling there.
ReplyDeleteRenee Young's a certified QT.
ReplyDeleteDid some yokel seriously say "Undertaker vs. Undertaker" is a Summerslam highlight???
ReplyDelete
