Summerslam Thread of Doom

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! 

Comments

  1. You know, "The Best vs The Beast" works for both main events!

  2. Alright then, No Guts, No Glory: Summerslam 2013


    Post 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.

    ReplyDelete
  3. 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?

    ReplyDelete
  4. Few quick thoughts at staples:
    Holy 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

    ReplyDelete
  5. If spoilers are up on reddit, please don't post them or even hint about it.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Is there another live band performance tonight? I need to know when to take my bathroom break.

    ReplyDelete
  7. 1. Brie Bella wins
    2. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Can we PM Stranger in the Alps?

    ReplyDelete
  10. Fake *titles*. Belts are for holding your pants up.

    ReplyDelete
  11. During the divas match of course

    ReplyDelete
  12. Not in the live threads. Sorry dude.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Find a way to tell him without telling anyone else?

    ReplyDelete
  14. How nice of them... if you miss the first bathroom break, you have one more.

    ReplyDelete
  15. 1. Sandow cashes in his MiTB briefcase
    2. Shield loses their belts
    3.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Shawn looks ridiculous with that beard.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Just got into to my seat, definitely a nice crowd here tonight

    ReplyDelete
  18. I'd kill for a Beard vs. Beard between Shawn and Bryan.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Dear 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!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Shawn Michaels beard needs its own twitter account.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Stranger in the AlpsAugust 18, 2013 at 5:05 PM

    PM's will only bounce back. I am in the Alps, you know. We only get dial up out here.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Looks like he's gone dark for this one

    ReplyDelete
  23. 1) Bray Wyatt pulls a 3 1/2 star match out of Kane
    2) Ricardo helps Christian beat ADR
    3) Kaitlyn pins AJ

    ReplyDelete
  24. Beards are the thing right now, guess he wanted to jump on the bandwagon.

    ReplyDelete
  25. If it's at Wrestlemania they probably could talk Shawn out of retirement to put over his top student.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Yeah, starting with you.

    ReplyDelete
  27. yea 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.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Pretty sure Whisper has a Twitter.

    ReplyDelete
  29. So any public WWE firings as of late for us to pinpoint who he was getting his info from?

    ReplyDelete
  30. Enjoy 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!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Why not just find an internet stream if you're going to bother watching this thread?

    ReplyDelete
  32. Reddit spoilers are out!

    Oh dear...

    ReplyDelete
  33. Please keep them to yourself . . .

    ReplyDelete
  34. Yeah, just caught them myself. Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking...

    ReplyDelete
  35. Look up, and feel free to kill.

    ReplyDelete
  36. One warning guys. Ban hammer is on.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Seriously. Quit with the fucking hints too.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Thank you, those kind of ruined MITB for me

    ReplyDelete
  39. The "ugh" and "oh dear" responses are saying too damn much already.


    I haven't read them, but I fear this is going to be a long-ass night for thinly-veiled spoiler posts.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Thanks for this I really appreciate it.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Exactly. Passively pissing and moaning that you don't like the results is already saying too goddamn much.

    ReplyDelete
  42. And apparently the Reddit guy posted some shit? I'm out for the thread and will enjoy the show Internetz free!

    ReplyDelete
  43. Reddit is the WCW Nitro to the blog's Raw pre-tapes apparently.

    ReplyDelete
  44. flair4dagold = Thor, likely with better hair.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Question: If (stressing IF) Cena beats Bryan cleanly tonight, does it negate the build-up for Daniel over the past few weeks?

    ReplyDelete
  46. I'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/

    ReplyDelete
  47. I'm getting swept away in your negative votes, Zanadude. You better let me be your Brutus Beefcake tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Stranger in the AlpsAugust 18, 2013 at 5:15 PM

    I'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
  49. "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?"
    "Yes I would, Kent."

    ReplyDelete
  50. Well good luck with the plans then

    ReplyDelete
  51. Stage is very cheesy. Yes chants are already starting

    ReplyDelete
  52. I call bullshit, his thing still hasn't updated. They are fake

    ReplyDelete
  53. They are not the real spoilers, its a fake

    ReplyDelete
  54. Seeing 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.

    ReplyDelete
  55. So Darren Young steals Orton's briefcase and cashes in on Bryan? :P

    ReplyDelete
  56. That'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.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Hey downvoter, I meant someone other than dolphin1925 did that. Its not from him

    ReplyDelete
  58. I want to watch the pre-show, but Brave is on Starz and I can't look away.


    I 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).

    ReplyDelete
  59. 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

    ReplyDelete
  60. Well we'll let you know the moment the preshow match starts.

    ReplyDelete
  61. No 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

    ReplyDelete
  62. This was a test of the emergency spoiler system.

    ReplyDelete
  63. How nice!

    ReplyDelete
  64. You are going to miss a lot of Josh Booker HBK and Vickie talking though . . . not really a bad thing.

    ReplyDelete
  65. 1) I'll take your Cena straight-up wins and say Bryan straight up wins.
    2) Taker makes an appearance
    3) Someone will turn heel that's not Randy Orton.

    ReplyDelete
  66. I'm sorry, you're confusing me with Darren Young.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Shawn Michaels just said before his beard people considered him a Diva and he was one foxy dude . . . not sure how to take that statement . . .

    ReplyDelete
  68. So 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

    ReplyDelete
  69. Jesus 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

    ReplyDelete
  70. I hope this doesn't suck!

    ReplyDelete
  71. I am predicting it goes on about 7:40

    ReplyDelete
  72. Watching the pre-show now (finally broke away from Brave once all the bullshit with the bears started).


    Brad Maddox really needed to not be the first thing I say.

    ReplyDelete
  73. 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

    ReplyDelete
  74. they aren't even showing the pre-show on the big screen? That's kinda stupid.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Does HBK's hobo-outta-control beard mean he's aligned himself with the Wyatt Family? TUNE IN NEXT WEEK ON NITRO!!!

    ReplyDelete
  76. Looks like Shawn's face doesn't want to do the job for his beard.

    ReplyDelete
  77. NIKKI!
    BRIE!
    NIKI!
    BRIE!

    ReplyDelete
  78. I was gonna say that!

    ReplyDelete
  79. BOOBBIEESS!

    ReplyDelete
  80. Beard to Shawn's Face: "Get the fuck out of my ring!"

    ReplyDelete
  81. Yeah 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

    ReplyDelete
  82. Hmmm...$75 for Summerslam, or Total Divas for free!

    ReplyDelete
  83. Jobbed out and turned down. Now I have to go to my wife for comfort; not cool, Charlie Brown.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Go for Option C

    ReplyDelete
  85. Do you wanna burn to death or drown?

    ReplyDelete
  86. The free chair is actually kind of cool. This is why I need a little nephew or a friend with a kid or something

    ReplyDelete
  87. Masked Reviewer streaming himself playing Tecmo Wrestling?

    ReplyDelete
  88. Half a bottle of Riesling down, time for the 1 1/2 sized bottle.

    ReplyDelete
  89. IMPLANTS!
    FLAT CHEST!
    IMPLANTS!
    FLAT CHEST!

    ReplyDelete
  90. Wow a big "We want Ryder" chant near my section, could a SoCo smark crowd be in the house?

    ReplyDelete
  91. or just steal the chair.......Thumbs up for petty crime.

    ReplyDelete
  92. I just wonder if I can really get away with keeping it at my place?

    ReplyDelete
  93. So who opens the ppv? Alberto vs Christian? or Damien vs Cody?

    ReplyDelete
  94. Who's Ryder? ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  95. Clean the chair because ya know, finger prints. Then come up with a solid alibi for where you were between 7:45 and 8pm.




    It's perfect.

    ReplyDelete
  96. Sure age loves Orton now; we'll see if she still feels that way after she opens her purse later.

    ReplyDelete
  97. Wow, so they're going to give these guys at least 15? Can one hope?

    ReplyDelete
  98. Pre-show match is starting now

    ReplyDelete
  99. FLAT CHEST!

    ReplyDelete
  100. After a LONG hiatus from live threads due to not actually bothering to watch WWE, I AM BACK! YOU CAN HOLD YOUR APPLAUSE

    ReplyDelete
  101. What if Reddit Guy was just really, really lucky?

    ReplyDelete
  102. The guy I hired to change my tire two months ago. I think he's still out there...

    ReplyDelete
  103. Nice and early for this match, looks like they'll get at least 10 minutes to have a real match, 15 if we're lucky.

    ReplyDelete
  104. The next TNA world champion?

    ReplyDelete
  105. I think Dolph/Kaitlyn vs Big E/AJ actually

    ReplyDelete
  106. Yeah AMBROSE! nice heel boo pop

    ReplyDelete
  107. They must want to lose the fans' attention fast.

    ReplyDelete
  108. Did Ambrose lose his Vest somewhere along the line? It seems odd he's been skipping it but Reigns/Rollins still have theirs.

    ReplyDelete
  109. DENTAL PLAN!

    ReplyDelete
  110. I have that going second

    ReplyDelete
  111. JACKSON RUEGERS,THE FUTURE OF TNA!!!

    ReplyDelete
  112. Dean's got rid of the combat vest this week, has the rest of the Shield followed him in ditching em?

    ReplyDelete
  113. Why doesn't the Shield have any merch? Like is it really that hard to put out some replica bulletproof vests?

    ReplyDelete
  114. But what if I really REALLY want to start a slow clap?

    ReplyDelete
  115. I have one of their t-shirts if that counts for anything.

    ReplyDelete
  116. FYI 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

    ReplyDelete
  117. A little net savvy will get you the better show for the better price.

    ReplyDelete
  118. well RVD is your home town hero right?

    ReplyDelete
  119. Oh you, go ahead, I'm flattered

    ReplyDelete
  120. $45 for internet stream . . .

    ReplyDelete
  121. RVD seems to be moving at 3/4 speed right now.

    ReplyDelete
  122. JACK FLYER, WOOT WOOT WOOT, YOU'RE AWARE OF IT

    ReplyDelete
  123. Wow, when VanDam looks at the camera straight on it looks like he shaved his head. That would be a weird look for him.

    ReplyDelete
  124. I noticed HBK saying that as well. Battle Creek weeps ;_;

    ReplyDelete
  125. Ha! I just remarked the same thing to my brother.

    ReplyDelete
  126. I 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.

    ReplyDelete
  127. They are the sworn enemy of WWE!

    ReplyDelete
  128. I had to scower WWE Shop for their merch. I guess WWE just doesn't promote it.

    ReplyDelete
  129. This is going to be a wild crowd tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  130. Yes. I don't have a PS3, I borrowed my brother's. He may never get it back.

    ReplyDelete
  131. Lets go Ambrose! This is much hotter crowd than we had here last year

    ReplyDelete
  132. I'd say watch bray/Kane as well, it's his first match as the character, might surprise.

    ReplyDelete
  133. "They love their sports entertainment!"


    Jesus, man, just say wrestling and take the heat. You sound like a moron.

    ReplyDelete
  134. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  135. It's amazing what Bryan in the main event can bring out crowd wise.

    ReplyDelete
  136. The "TWO!" chants have started.

    ReplyDelete
  137. If 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.

    ReplyDelete
  138. Remember when Shield attacked without alerting their opponents with their music?

    ReplyDelete
  139. Ut oh, maybe he gave out all his fucks already

    ReplyDelete
  140. So many L.A. crowds have been lukewarm over the years for WWE events. This definitely feels like a more enthusiastic and smarter crowd

    ReplyDelete
  141. CAVALRY, JBL.


    Ca-val-ry.


    IT'S NOT HARD.

    ReplyDelete
  142. Decent match so far, but of course they can't put it on the PPV because they have promote Total Divas.

    ReplyDelete
  143. Cue Big Show and Mark Henry in 3,2...

    ReplyDelete
  144. Maybe, since he probably came from home, he smoked a little too much this time around . . .

    ReplyDelete
  145. The whole crowd had a weird energy when that clicking shit came on, they are very over

    ReplyDelete
  146. The impromptu tag team matches were my favorite thing about Paul Heyman booking of ECW

    ReplyDelete
  147. Does 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.

    ReplyDelete
  148. Dean's expressions and attitude are still just awesome, no one else sticks to there character more.

    ReplyDelete
  149. This is so bush league lol

    ReplyDelete
  150. I really hope there's a separate original story mode in WWE 2K14, instead of a second straight year of reliving better days.


    I actually like their original stories.

    ReplyDelete
  151. It's a good thing Show and Henry suited up in their ring gear when they weren't even scheduled for matches tonight!

    ReplyDelete
  152. I always picture everyone in the back always in their gear no matter what they're doing.

    ReplyDelete
  153. this is going to suck, apparently my paid for ps3 stream is like 3 minutes behind.

    ReplyDelete
  154. Fans appreciative of Mark Henry's run atop of WWECW with those E-C-Dub chants

    ReplyDelete
  155. I know him! He's the flunky of that Gut Check loser!

    ReplyDelete
  156. Yep, technology's weird. I've noticed during football season my non-paid for streams are often ahead of my cable hook up.

    ReplyDelete
  157. Which is a true old-school attitude. ALWAYS bring your gear, just in case.

    ReplyDelete
  158. So how many turns does this make for Big Show now in his WWE career?

    ReplyDelete
  159. That'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?

    ReplyDelete
  160. Listening to all the shit Seth Rollins is yelling on the outside of the ring makes me like him way more

    ReplyDelete
  161. 30000000th time,that's more than magneto.

    ReplyDelete
  162. I'm not watching the pre-show--did Show just join Shield?!

    ReplyDelete
  163. Do we count when he kinda sorta turned right before Wrestlemania

    ReplyDelete
  164. (mental math... carry the two, divide by "false" turns...)



    42

    ReplyDelete
  165. Oh and that RVD spot looked insane live. I saw from like 50 feet back and it was just frightening

    ReplyDelete
  166. Sgt Slaughter brings his gear to every show,even house shows...just in case!

    ReplyDelete
  167. In the WWE Universe, the only attire that exists are spandex and jorts.

    ReplyDelete
  168. Does anyone still sport fanny packs? Cause they used to be everywhere especially in the wwe locker room.

    ReplyDelete
  169. John Cena. He seems the fanny pack type.

    ReplyDelete
  170. I think smart phones have done away with the need for them.

    ReplyDelete
  171. No, but wait until Survivor Series.

    ReplyDelete
  172. I think he's just referring to his return as a face after being a heel before injury.

    ReplyDelete
  173. Will Brock Lesnar ever participate in a regular match again?

    ReplyDelete
  174. I thought the boys used em more as Soma carriers.

    ReplyDelete
  175. c'mon, give us a 6-man match for the PPV. The Shield always delivers

    ReplyDelete
  176. I'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

    ReplyDelete
  177. I can see getting Booker and Vickie, but when did they get one of the guys from Duck Dynasty for the panel?

    ReplyDelete
  178. Why do we care what Skinner thinks? He's never won a damn thing...


    (please shave, HBK, please)

    ReplyDelete
  179. HBK is compensating for the lack of head hair.

    ReplyDelete
  180. Social media lounge? Oh god

    ReplyDelete
  181. Stranger in the AlpsAugust 18, 2013 at 5:52 PM

    Hmmm.....looks like I need to establish my humor before posting. Sorry for the confusion.

    ReplyDelete
  182. Better than going the Scott Tenorman route, I guess

    ReplyDelete
  183. "The Social Media Lounge..."


    Does anybody at this company ever think to themselves, "Hey, that sounds kinda stupid..."

    ReplyDelete
  184. Ugh, Tout.

    ReplyDelete
  185. We have our answer. Time to blow up the earth!

    ReplyDelete
  186. I don't even know if you can call it a lounge if there's only one person chilling there.

    ReplyDelete
  187. Renee Young's a certified QT.

    ReplyDelete
  188. Did some yokel seriously say "Undertaker vs. Undertaker" is a Summerslam highlight???

    ReplyDelete
  189. These picks are all over the place.

    ReplyDelete
  190. So their latest check didn't bounce, I guess.

    ReplyDelete
  191. so that TOUT shit is still alive!
