The Clint Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) I wish people would stop acting as though the pre show is necessary canon in order to have 'seen' a PPV. SummerSlam is a 4 hour show. Not a 7 hour show. Still way too long, but c'mon. Nobody ever counted the Sunday Night Heats and they were fun for ages. Of all the complaints levelled against WrestleMania 2000 nobody moans that it was like 12 hours long.  No fucker is claiming it's a 7 hour show. I said there's going to be almost 7 hours worth of viewing. Infact don't be surprised if SummerSlam runs to almost 5 hours.  As far as I'm concerned the longer its on the better.

The Gaffer Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Plenty of fuckers are. The IWC is awash with people bitching that the shows go on for 7 hours now. Usually the same people who will watch every inch of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted August 16, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) I've seen people on here comment on the amount of time recent PPVs run for, some of which along the lines of 'I was burnt out', that's usually been after an NXT special, hall of fame etc, then going in to a 5 hour PPV in the same weekend though.

Then watch it all. Plenty on Wreddit. Comments sections on various stories, social media etc. It exists. It'd be a pretty pointless thing to just make up on a whim lad, wouldn't it?

dopper Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) Yes it would. Â I was unable to relate to your frustration though, because I only read about wrestling online here and when following people who's opinions I like reading on Twitter. Â I never understood why arguments happen between complete strangers in places like YouTube & Instagram comments sections. Doing that as well as going on Reddit and coming here seems like a waste of time. Edited August 16, 2016 by dopper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 If McGregor really wants to get a rise out of WWE he'll start calling himself Conor the Crusher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted August 16, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted August 16, 2016 The Connor thing is obviously just a wind up, PR campaign though isn't it. It's not just wrestlers after all:  " And finally  UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor jokingly said he would "slap the head off" Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo if they ever fought in the octagon. (BT Sport)"  Bell end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gaffer Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Punk's called the WWE stars out on getting worked by McGregor. I'd bet my bollocks to a barn dance that if Punk was with the company he would have been one of the first to respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambulance Chaser Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) It's so obvious what Conor is doing it actually worries me that grown adults WITHIN the pro wrestling business didn't see it for what it was, what they do every single day of their existence, work people. He's clearly testing the water, if nobody had responded and the general public never bothered and websites didn't report it then he may have had second thoughts due to interest levels not being there. However due to it being all over the shop media wise and thick idiots like Ric Flair saying Ziggler can take him or top guys like Reigns responding, it just increased Conor's asking price by about 3 million dollars I'd imagine.

It's not like he's genuinely trying to knock any of them out. Edited August 16, 2016 by Slapnut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The concept of him saying 'if they ever fought in the octagon' made me think daft arse.  I actually like this jiggery pokery, it's fun to see him talking shite about wanting to slap anyone in the public eye.
