Is it me or did it look like he was having some kind of medical episode? I was a little worried but he seemed fine later on. I knew there was something I'd forgotten. Yep I honestly thought he was having a stroke or something.

Yakashi Posted August 22, 2021 Posted August 22, 2021 Good for her for saying what she thought. Surprised, pleasantly. When the ultimate corporate creation says the company sucks then you know the company sucks
Paid Members Slapnut Posted August 22, 2021 Paid Members Posted August 22, 2021 I can’t imagine this will be a popular opinion here, but this show was my first experience of Pat McAfee and I have to say I found him to be the most overbearing part of the show, even more so than Michael Cole. I found him particularly irritating during Nakamura’s entrance. I didn’t see any of his NXT work so that may have something to do with it, but I’m really surprised at how much love he gets here.
Paid Members bbabba Posted August 22, 2021 Paid Members Posted August 22, 2021 While I'm not saying Goldberg v Lashley was good by any stretch of the imagination, I'm glad that they at least tried to change the formula of Goldberg's standard 5 minute "finishers only" match that he's wrestled every time since his WWE return in 2016.

The Nakamura thing is just something he's doing, which is a lot more over the top than most of his other commentary stuff. He's actually one of the better parts of the show for me, Nakamura flip out aside as well.

Originally I loved it, I probably will again after a few weeks but it felt a bit forced Saturday, probably not helped by the fact they sent him out there to do it to break some time up from what would have been Belair Vs Banks.
theringmaster Posted August 23, 2021 Posted August 23, 2021 I went out Saturday night, came in just as Summerslam started so ended up watching. From a purely selfish British perspective, PPV's on a Saturday night rocks, I know it will never become the 'norm' but i enjoy it when it happens. It was an enjoyable watch and the novelty of a stadium show after the pandemic is still there. Becky Lynch's return was brilliant to watch play out on social media, as soon Carmella came out i checked twitter to read the sh!t storm and fair play they worked EVERYONE with the swerve. But what should have been an amazing moment was somewhat hampered by Micheal Cole shouting and cuts to the crowd. It should have had no commentary and purely focus on Lynch walking out, it was the perfect example of everything that is wrong in WWE in 2021-Completly and utterly over produced. I won't add anything to the booking decision of the squash, it was awful and she deserves better, we all know it. And then Brock....sigh. I can honestly imagine a meeting Saturday morning with the board saying "Vince, AEW are trending worldwide, people are calling it the greatest moment of the 21st century, what are we going to do?" Vince think for about 5 seconds "I got it!! We need BROCK, he will come out all muscles and beard and the crowd will lap it up! yes we need Brock". So whilst AEW are cooking 'dream matches', WWE are putting on Wrestlemania rematches that nobody wanted to see in the first place...
JohnKringler Posted August 23, 2021 Posted August 23, 2021 Becky will be the top heel going forward according to PWInsider. I mean that's smart, but they could have avoided this by not having her look like such a smug twat.
DavidB6937 Posted August 23, 2021 Posted August 23, 2021 I wonder why they want Becky as a heel. That's a strange call. Unless that's what she wants to do.
Yakashi Posted August 23, 2021 Posted August 23, 2021 Not sure having your top babyface star go heel when you have no other stars in the company is smart. There’s a theory that she could make someone else a star. But there is 100% certainty these guys aren’t capable of that. So now they’ve went from one star to no stars again. Just when you think they couldn’t go any lower…
Mr Butternut Squash Posted August 23, 2021 Posted August 23, 2021 They're basically admitting they can't book babyfaces anymore. All the big stars, heel. I like it. They've already pissed away the goodwill of her return. Becky Lesnar could be half way interesting, at least.
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted August 23, 2021 Paid Members Posted August 23, 2021 I wonder whether they'll pair her with Rollins.
