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

[Pink Ranger]

The Cobra will rise again! This, I command!!

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

I would love to not be sent a stream..

 

[Benstamania]

DO NOT think about sending me a stream.... Do not.

Don't.

 

[SuperBatman]

Wow Jericho vs. Ziggler 1st?

 

[Superark]

WWE was a little lazy for the Summerslam set using the generic RAW LED set.

 

[Benstamania]

Yeah, I noticed that.

 

[Superark]

Damn Jericho busting his ass with that top rope hurricarana

 

[Superark]

wow, I'm surprised they had Ziggler lose

 

[Trainwreck2100]

wow, I'm surprised they had Ziggler lose

i'm not surprised they had him lose, but am surprised they had him tap

 

[DarthSkywalker]

What a match to start Summerslam.

 

[OnTheAir]

That was the real Walls Of Jericho/Liontamer!

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Wow Jericho vs. Ziggler 1st?

Very WM X of them. t:

 

[SuperBatman]

I'm surprised Jericho won but maybe Ziggler cashes in tonight? You lose to Jericho in the opening match but win the title at the end?

 

[Benstamania]

Never thought I'd tire of Bryan's Yes/No!

Sadly...It's jumped the shark.

- It was recently reported by SuperLuchas that former TNA star Alex Shelley has signed with WWE. Their report did not state if he would be going to developmental or starting on the main roster.

In an update, The Wrestling Observer reports that WWE sources are denying Shelley signed, as of Saturday afternoon. Shelley is booked for the upcoming New Japan Pro Wrestling tour in September and has been tweeting about how excited he is to wrestle in Japan. He is also graduating college in a week or so.

Even though WWE sources are denying that Shelley has signed, The Observer adds that there may be something to the reports that we aren't aware of yet.

This news gets me excited to hear, and I've been waiting for his confirmation since he left TNA. If this is true, then awesome. I hope he doesn't go to NXT because Shelley is already the total package. Just don't give him a stupid name.

Considering the main event is probably going to be Brock and Triple H, I doubt it.

Ziggler will be fine. He has the briefcase.

 

[Superark]

Oh god I hope that "Tap out" comment wasn't a foreshadowing of HHH refusing to tap later and Brock gets the win by a technicality.

 

[Trainwreck2100]

Never thought I'd tire of Bryan's Yes/No!

Sadly...It's jumped the shark.

i really hope they drop it after tonight.

 

[Superark]

Bryan in the 2nd match of the night? Oh how he has fallen

 

[Benstamania]

I'm not shocked Jericho won... They followed the classic "How to tell who's gonna win at the PPV" schtick.

Ziggler got the upper hand on Jericho at the last Raw before the PPV... Only natural for Jericho to win at the PPV. That's how they always tend to go.

 

[Superark]

Never thought I'd tire of Bryan's Yes/No!

Sadly...It's jumped the shark.

They killed the gimmick and ran it into the ground by giving it to AJ.

 

[Benstamania]

Considering the main event is probably going to be Brock and Triple H, I doubt it.

Ziggler will be fine. He has the briefcase.

I think it was reported that the WWE Title would actually be in the main event. HHH/Lensar may be at the midpoint ala Taker/Trips at Mania.

 

[The Apocalypse]

I'd rather watch the HHH Lesnar match at the end.

 

[Benstamania]

Eh, I wouldn't. Triple H has hogged enough spotlight over the past year.

 

[The Apocalypse]

Eh, I wouldn't. Triple H has hogged enough spotlight over the past year.

Does it matter? It's the most interesting storyline and probably be the best match of the night.
