Don't you have to buy like a $44 ppv? Or are you gonna use a stream.

[AK47DR91]

Only kids buy PPV, via rich parents.

Primetime Players
The Miz

Cesaro (then changes the title to European title in the process)
Primetime Players
The Miz
Bryan
Ziggler
Sheamus
Punk
Lesnar

I agree with all this i expect a sandow match too with sandow winning. Also a barret return.

[TheMarkMadsen]

Lesnar will win in a squash, the plan is for Lesnar to win in a dominating fashion.

Time to grab the popcorn.

[AK47DR91]

Missed the pre-show but Cesaro is the new U.S. champion.

Is he changing it to the European title like many have rumored?

I'm pretty mad that cesaro is getting this kind of push. Should be SANDOWS title

[QuebecBaller]

I'm pretty mad that cesaro is getting this kind of push. Should be SANDOWS title

Sandows don't really need a title right now, he's getting over by himself

(and the US/Europeen title won't help anybody)

[Zedja]

Why are the announcers speaking Spanish :cry:

Jericho vs Ziggler about to start after entrance.

[Zedja]

Y2J is gonna lose :(

[QuebecBaller]

Enjoy this match, it will be the last of Jericho for a couple of month I think

[Zedja]

Vicky is gonna do something and it'll cost Jericho the match. Book it. :bowdown:

[Zedja]

Jericho lookin good :pimp:

[AK47DR91]

Enjoy this match, it will be the last of Jericho for a couple of month I think
Is he touring with Fozzy again, or other stuff?

He was just on a break less than 9 months ago.

[Zedja]

Yeah he's leaving again. Way too soon... :cry:

[QuebecBaller]

Fozzy is about release (or just released) a new album. So they probably go on tour

[AK47DR91]

LOL, Cole just mentioned the new Fozzy album.

[QuebecBaller]

WHAT???

Did we just see a successful double axe handle from the top rope? It's probably the first one who made contact is 20 or 30 years :lol :lol

[AK47DR91]

Great opening match so far.

[Zedja]

Lets go Ziggler! Y2J! :bowdown: :bowdown:

[QuebecBaller]

Liontamer!!!!!!!!

[AK47DR91]

Wow.

The Liontamer....Ziggler taps out. :eek:

[Zedja]

JERICHOOOOO!!!!:rockon: :rockon:

[EricGordon23]

wow did not expect that!!!!!!!!

[AK47DR91]

Ziggler will get a rematch win before Jericho leaves then.

I think they'll do a Briefcase vs Loser Leaves Town match.
Jericho wins, he gets the briefcase (which won't happen)
Jericho loses, he leaves Raw (actually touring with band)

[B-Low]

Can someone please explain to me how this match was "Jericho finally winning the big one"? :oldlol:

He beat Rock and Austin in the same night to become the first person ever to hold the WWF and WCW titles at the same time, but beating Dolph Ziggler in the opening match of Summerslam is "the big one" lol

[Lebron23]

Lion tamer

Ziggler said Jericho can't win the big one anymore.
Cole mentioned that Jericho hasn't won a PPV event since his return.

Now that he won a PPV match, they'll probably do a rematch with the scenario I mentioned a couple of posts up.

[bagelred]

Serious question....is Stone Cold not involved at all anymore? In any capacity? And if not, why not? Nothing for him to do?

[BoogieWoogieMan]

I'm only watching this match in the hopes to seeing AJ.

[AK47DR91]

He's busy doing B-movies. :lol

He was supposed to be at the 1000th Raw episode but he was in crutches from injury he sustain.

I'm thinking now they might have Ziggler cash in tonight. They've been pushing the guy to the high heavens then they have him lose to a 20+ year vet with nothing to gain from it. I don't think they'd have his push come to a screeching halt unless they were gonna make up for it in an even bigger way.

I think the loss was just to make it seem less likely that Ziggler would walk out of the PPV on top

[AK47DR91]

Wow....first clean win for Bryan in months. :lol

[BoogieWoogieMan]

I'm only watching this match in the hopes to seeing AJ.

:(

[bagelred]

is that Piers Morgan behind Cole and Lawler?


:biggums:

:cheers: Good point.

I think they did something similar a few years ago for Jericho.

Jericho got destroyed by HBK earlier in the night.
Finds himself in the Elimination Chamber and walks out as World Heavyweight champ. I forgot what PPV it was but it happened in September 2008.

[QuebecBaller]

Don't give a sh.. match of the night right now

[Lebron23]

The Miz is awesome. It's nice to Antonio Cesaro wins the WWE US title. I expect him to bring back the European Championship this week.

[AK47DR91]

:oldlol: Never heard a crowd booing a face for cheating.

Must be the Spanish-speaking crowd.

[bagelred]

An All Black Tag Team match at Summerslam? :crazysam:


This ain't your fathers WWE.

[EricGordon23]

Damn it. Awesome ppv though. Wheres sandow!?

[AK47DR91]

Fred Durst is old as ****, but still acting like a teenager. :oldlol:

Jericho defeated Ziggler (great match)
Bryan def. Kane (good match)
Miz def. Rey (good match)
Sheamus def. Del Rio (strange outcome as Sheamus cheated, crowd boos a face)

Tag Team title and WWE championship matches were meh...

[AK47DR91]

OK, Brock is selling his stomach disease thing. Good idea.
I'm digging Brock's MMA gimmick. :applause:

[EricGordon23]

Weak no sandow, ziggler gets beat. Cena loses
Good ppv though

[Lebron23]

I hope Brock stays with the WWE.

[EricGordon23]

No barret either damn!

[AK47DR91]

He'll be back, he's the boss's son-in-law. :lol

Jericho over Ziggler?


Did Ziggler get over?

[Zedja]

Jericho over Ziggler?


Did Ziggler get over?
I felt like their match was too short... they were just getting started in my eyes

[Loneshot]

Here's i felt about it, my mini breakdown/rating.

Jericho vs Ziggler: 3/5. Overall very solid, but nothing really stuck out. A good opener though.

Bryan vs Kane: 2.5/5. Felt pretty flat in comparison to the previous match. On its own it left nothing to remember it by but it wasn't awful, and thats a plus since these two don't seem to have any chemistry.

Mysterio vs Miz: 3/5. Good match, but felt too short. Nice variety of moves, relatively back and forth. Miz is very underrated in the ring.

Del Rio vs Sheamus: 3/5. It was phsysical, it was a brawl, and even though the angle behind the match left them with no hype, they delivered a match that made it seem like the rivalry was real. If any guy on the roster should have Superman-like comebacks, its Sheamus. He looks tough as nails, and for a power based wrestler, he has a very nice variety of moves. Odd finish, but it wasn't predictable at all. Good match.

Prime Time Playas vs Kofi/Truth: 2/5. Pretty average match. Pretty much just a filler to cool the crowd. Wasn't awful though despite Kofi's generic-ness. He's a good wrestler, just no personality. PTP has a lot of potential as a team and hopefully they don't get the Cryme Tyme treatment of being the best, yet rewarded with nothing.

Big Show vs Cena vs Punk: 3/5. Better than i anticipated. Stayed pretty active throughout. Nothing to remember the match for, but it wasn't boring so that's a plus.

Triple H vs Brock Lesnar: 3/5. Decent brawl, almost a squash in favor of Brock though. Nothing to remember about it really. Odd, abrupt ending as well.

Overall PPV rating: 3/5. No match was great, but most were at least good. Best match probably goes to Jericho/Ziggler. Other matches may have been more physical or had more story behind it, but this one had the most enjoyment behind it. Miz/Mysterio was close but it was just too short.

[AK47DR91]

Overall what was the highlight of the ppv?

i wasn't able to catch it
See Longshot's post. Pretty accurate rating of the show.

Good PPV but nothing classic.

[NugzFan]

What does it mean for a wrestler to "get over"?

[TheMarkMadsen]

What does it mean for a wrestler to "get over"?

To get over with fans, whether they cheer or boo you the most important thing for a wrestler is to "get over" with the fans, you want them to care enough about you to cheer or boo. It's how they make their money & how they determine who gets where in the company.

When i asked if Ziggler "got over" despite the loss, i was asking if he was made to look weak or inferior to jericho durring the match, and if he still had momentum after his loss at SS.

I was surprised he lost, i figured this was the start of a giant push.

[AK47DR91]

Ziggler didn't lose his MITB briefcase so it's not a huge downgrade to his push.

Like I mentioned after the match, they might set up a rematch where Ziggler's briefcase and Jericho's contract is on the line.

Ziggler would win the rematch. Jericho would leave the WWE for a bit while he goes on tour.

Anyway, Raw is on in a couple of hours. We'll see the aftermath of each angle.

[HURLEX]

Ziggler will get a rematch win before Jericho leaves then.

I think they'll do a Briefcase vs Loser Leaves Town match.
Jericho wins, he gets the briefcase (which won't happen)
Jericho loses, he leaves Raw (actually touring with band)

Good Call
