The Wrestling Thread is now nothing but recaps from last week - Part 71

[Superark]

HHH getting some boos from the crowd

 

[Benstamania]

Triple H rides off into the sunset...Only to return tomorrow night and demand the main event spot at the next five PPV's and each match will be a rematch with Lesnar.

 

[Incrediblejeff]

I guess Triple H was expecting something different.

 

[LOBO3315a]

That match was pretty good, actually, IMO. I know others would disagree.

I didn't hate it....but why is Hunter in the ring writhing in pain?

He's keeping medical personal at bay?

And the crowd is chanting "You Tapped Out"?

 

[Benstamania]

"YOU TAPPED OUT" chant made me giggle.

 

[The Sage]

I'm surprised The Nose tapped out with the way they were building it up all night. At least he did the right thing and lost clean

Not a great match though. In fact it was rather slow and boring. Of course that is the story of HHH's career when he is not in there with one of the greats

I'd say that's been the story of his career since 2002. He was the best in the business from 2000 to 2001.

 

[Superark]

Great that Triple H tapped out to Lesnar, but I can imagine how much better it would be if it was CM Punk who he tapped out to.

That would never have happened. The Nose will never allow himself to tap out the the "skinny fat ass"

 

[Trainwreck2100]

well that was anticlimactic

 

[Incrediblejeff]

Um,There's 10 minutes left and it's over already?SMH

 

[Benstamania]

...So.. Not only was SummerSlam a terrible show.. but it finished 15 minutes early? Glad I didn't pay for it.

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

Um,There's 10 minutes left and it's over already?SMH

They always end before 10 dude...

 

[TheFuture]

What a **** ending, I was hoping Brock would continue the beat down and the deadman would make the save.

 

[The Sage]

So, I think the conclusion that can be reached based on the reactions to this show is that...Vince McMahon doesn't want to make money anymore.

That would never have happened. The Nose will never allow himself to tap out the the "skinny fat ass"

Which is too bad since that would do much for the company in the long run.

 

[Incrediblejeff]

They always end before 10 dude...

I never really noticed that,My bad.

 

[Benstamania]

So.. JR Tweeted..

HHH-Lesnar was an announcer's dream. Great story. Loved it.

As boring as the match was I have a feeling if JR called it I would have been more interested in it.

 

[The Sage]

They always end before 10 dude...

Normally 5 minutes I thought.

 

[Big Green]

Yeah that was terrible. I was expecting something else... I'm feel completely let down. The highlight of the night was was... None.

 

[Superark]

I'd say that's been the story of his career since 2002. He was the best in the business from 2000 to 2001.

He was the best heel, but he was not the best worker. He had great matches , don't get me wrong, but he was working against better workers like Austin and Taker, and gimmick matches with Mick when he was at his peak. He had very good matches with The Rock, I'll give him credit for that. The Rock was always solid, but the fact he was so over made all his matches seem better.

Once he was made to carry guys after his return in 2002, the bloom was off the rose

JR can make a fart an Church go over

 

[Darkness Falls]

hhh did what was right
lol'd at the fans chanting "you tapped out"

 

[Trainwreck2100]

let's see
Jericho wins good match
Bryan wins, and doesn't celebrate in yes! fashion
Sheamus wins with a shoe
PTPs had no AW and lost
Punk wins with a special appearance by an increasingly annoying AJ
Lesner wins with a "broken arm victory" even though everyone knows that arm didn't break. Did I miss anything?

 

[Perfect Cell]

There was also the musical performance. My god, the musical performance.

 

[Dr. Evil]

No random match? What the hell?

 

[Trainwreck2100]

There was also the musical performance. My god, the musical performance.

i used that time to walk my dog

 

[Dr. Evil]

There was also the musical performance. My god, the musical performance.

He works with Lil Wayne, which means he's one of the worst performers Lil Wayne has ever worked with.

What happened to the good wrestling PPV themes? Seether, and Saliva had some of the best ones.
