You Do Your Annoying, Unorthodox Thing That You Do In The Wrestling Thread

[DarthSkywalker]

Yep. Brock took all the finishers, took all they had and still won.

 

[Broseph44]

Was hoping for Braun or Joe to win, but still a ****ing awesome match.

Who did Austin lose to in his year long ascent to the title from WM 13 to WM 14?

The Underaker at 'Cold Day in Hell' in May of 1997, he also ate the clean pin in the big 10 man tag at 'Canadian Stampede' in July 1997.

That was an epic main event!

The Stampede finish was not clean. Also, a world a difference between Taker and Jinder, and if I remember currently, that wasn't a normal finish either.

 

[The Chris]

Thank goodness for the main event, the tag matches and maybe the US Title because it would have been a disaster without them.

The pin was clean, Austin attacked Stu Hart, there was a brawl, he got back in the ring and Owen rolled him up, and you just asked me if he lost in that period, you didn't mention specifics. I'm guessing Nakamura lost to Jinder Mahal? Now Jinder is no Taker but Nakamura is no Austin either.

Braun Strowman is just awesome.

This is what I meant. Once the decision was made to make Austin the man, which pretty much started at WM 13, he was protected. When he lost, it had purpose and was a major deal. He was so protected, he had a broken neck and still pinned Owen. Stampede made Austin an even more over baby face in the States.

Since they called up Nakamura, his booking has been uneven at best. They haven't made him look strong at all. The reason he is over is because he is Nakamura. This is what happened with Bayley, and now they are booing her. This goes into the notion that WWE doesn't want legit stars, because they leave.

Also, I love Austin. Are we sure Nakamura isn't of that quality?

A clean win over Cena is about as strong as they can make a guy right now.

Did Nakamura lose clean? I haven't watched for a few years because it was obvious that bar Cena no one was going to be truly pushed, these days it seems like Brock is the protected guy and of course the anti Austin, Roman Reigns, but other than that everyone else is 50/50 booked and if they get too over they get their legs cut off, like AJ losing the strap at last years Rumble just to do some ****** Orton/Bray angle that from what I read went precisely nowhere.

I wasn't a fan of Nakamura or the NJPW style so in terms of in ring quality I'm probably not the guy to ask, and in truth I prefered Austin in his Stunning Steve days as far as in ring goes, but I was talking overness, Austin is arguably the most over guy in the history of pro wrestling in North America with only a couple of guys in the conversation, and the biggest box oiffice draw ever in the WWF albeit not over as sustained a period as Hogan, Nakamura is nowhere near him in that regard.

So glad i went to NXT last night and decided to watch this at home.

Man, Takeover was fun to watch wasn't it? All that was missing was a UK Championship match. Seeing the NXT Title match again, it was a good match, but it wasn't great. It was a main roster style match and the reaction of the match was tepid. But oh boy, it had a memorable ending.

True. I still liked it but true. I'd say that's 3 years in a row that Takeover: Brooklyn beat Summerslam. Half a good show and half a turd tonight.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

A clean win over Cena is about as strong as they can make a guy right now.

Not when Dolph Ziggler can go with him. Which he shouldn't be able to. Nakamura should take off fools heads.

You are thinking of one decision, where as it takes multiple ones to build someone up correctly. Austin never properly beat Bret, but that never mattered. Because everything else worked out right. Nakamura, like Brock, should be beyond the vast majority.

It wasn't "clean", but all it took was Jinder's finisher. On a night where everyone was kicking out of finishers. He lost in 11 mins after a little bit of interference he wasn't actually physically hurt by. Just distracted.

Nakamura could be massively over. Tonight the crowd was so ready for him to win. If it had happened, the place might have come down. Instead we got a Taker losing the streak moment. He isn't going to lead a boom, but he could be ridiculously over. Even the casuals like him.

 

[The Chris]

Yeah Shinsuke should have killed Ziggler. Ziggler was looking like a bum against Kalisto for goodness sake, and yet Shinsuke barely beat him. Heck Austin agrees with you Darth I believe.

And Jinder's finisher is suck garbage (heck he botched it tonight). You're telling me Nakamura can eat 2 AA's and a muscle buster but that trash beats him quickly? Please.

Exactly. Every word, exactly.

 

[Dr. Evil]

I'm not worried about Adam Cole being "neutered" in the WWE. They also made Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly look strong at Takeover. However, there is only two of them and four of Sanity, which is why I think Donovan Dijak will join them.

I like Drew McIntyre and he's been looking great since his return.

Didn't see SummerSlam, but I was hoping they'd finally take the belt off Lesnar. I really, REALLY hate part-time champs.

 

[Loki882]

That's it, I'm done with the SD main event scene until that title is off of Jobber Mahal. His reign has been boring, his promos are all the same, and even his match finishes are all the same. It's just garbage, especially when you look at how epic Raw's ME scene is right now.

You build up Nakamura to be this strong style badass, have him beat Cena clean, and then have him lose to Jinder, a glorified jobber? And he looks like an idiot in the process. Sorry but this was stupid.

Too be fair, they aren't giving Jinder much to work with. First he feuded with Randy "Coasting it" Orton. Then a quick feud with Nakamura who can barely speak english much less give a good promo.

 

[Loki882]

Nakamura's first loss on the main roster being to Jinder freaking Mahal is absurd. Not to mention that it ended the EXACT SAME WAY that all of Jinder's matches end (which is just boring and predictable), which makes Nakamura look stupid in the process.

i cant agree with the nakamura part because his english his fine just as his promos.
He has natural charisma that doesnt need much words.

But yeah, Mahal would be a good heel if they would give him better material.
The evil foreigner heel thing is just dumb and weak as hell, him winning the title exactly like jericho, owens, rollins before him isnt helping either.

Him keeping the title because he has guys who help him and all, could work if it wouldnt have been done the very same way before in the most recent years.
So his run feels too much like a textbook storytelling thing that is boring.
Same goes for his in ring work...its textbook wrestling without any unique moves or so.
The only really unique thing about Mahal is really his entrance...which is pretty cool imo.
Im 100% sure he would be a good heel champion if they would give him more to work with and some unique moves(or a least a strong looking finisher).

Anyway...Summerslam was a hit and miss on many things i have to say.

Glad that Natalya is champion, finally a champ that can work with the title and use it as more than just a prop that blinks.

Rusev...i dont know why the wwe hates him but its clear they do.
Dont know what he did, but it must have been something horrible to be buried this hard.

Im still not sure if corbin is buried or if that is just storyline purpose...it feels like a burial to me.
But we will see.

Main event was fantastic, that is why i love multi man matches.
Strowman needs to get his hands on the title as fast as possible...the man has evolved big in the last months...that needs to be rewarded.
All four guys did a good job(yes i said 4t and it was really, really great main event.

Which is my point. That's not on Jinder, that's on Creative.
