I like the occasional big stadium shows that start when the sun is still up. It makes it feel like a spectacle.
SummerSlam 92 was the perfect example. Starting late afternoon into the late evening gave the show an epic look.
Definitely. The little bit of light at the start signals “this is different” and the wider angle hard camera helps too.
@@travismcdonald6576 That wasn't shown live, right? Wasn't it on a 24 hour tape delay or something?
@@travismcdonald6576 mania 24 felt the same.
@@Cruising_On_Lake_Havasoma it was on delay in the states we had it live here in europe.
Sometimes I wonder how Brian keeps a straight face. Jim ripping Kid Rock to shreds had me in stitches! The fact that he switches up so quick to talk about the next segment makes it even funnier!🤣
Oh I was dying! We need an Omnibus of Corny ripping on Kid Rock…
1:26:25
Brian's laughter is so contagious, proper healthy chuckle that
Brock vs Roman wasn’t a technical masterpiece but It showed that you can still have chaos without barbed wire, unnecessary blading, and other outlaw mud show nonsense and it also helps that Triple H is not a money mark man child
Yeah it was pretty good, way better than aew torture porn matches from the last few months.
I'm a big AEW guy. Roman v. Brock at SS was amazing, one of my favorite matches in years. AEW needs to learn from it
Why are you trying to sound like Jim?
No one would give two fucks about that match had he not moved the ring with a tractor.
FTR vs Briscoes....match of the year. This match wasn't even close.
First time in years and years and years where I watched a PPV start to finish and didn't fast forward 95% of it just to see the finishes.
Don't know why. This was literally exactly more of the same WWE stuff we've gotten for 20 years. Goofy phony illogical dumb vehicle gimmicks.
@@derpderpin1568 that was 1 match also its logical that brock would come with a tractor as hes a crazy farmer hunter
@@derpderpin1568 Thank you I agree. It was mostly illogical and awful. Interferences from edge and styles by surprise.. so why did their music play if this was a surprise return/run in and why would management happily have then ruin matches. Corbin the heel who saved pats life on that top rope got low blowed and cheated.. apparently nobody cares if a face guy cheats to win. Liv vs ronda well do I even have to specify that screwey finish? I wouldnt have minded if that was the only screwey finish on the show but of course not. You have Bailey and 2 other women returning, coming all the long way down to the ring to attack Bianca.. but got scared and walked off because becky entered the ring.. THEY STILL OUT NUMBERED THEM. So yeah good job making them look like weak wussys wwe. The main event..huh man where do we begin.. for some reason this is booked as last man standing.. why? It's not wrestling, it doesn't give us fans a clear winner it's just an excuse for a bunch of silly furniture spots for gullible fans who get a boner over flimsey tables breaking. Of course the usos interfering again for the 1000th time... (I don't know why they didn't just stay at ringside or enter the match at the beginning since its no dq) but Brock the veteran despite seeing these guys over and over do this never saw it coming. Oh and theory again just gets easily beaten senseless with ease like everyweek and we are supposed to believe he's good enough to be world champ. Huh did I miss anything?
Same Paul L first rodeo without vince shouting him down
@@derpderpin1568 wrestling is phony and illogical, but god forbid people like being entertained
I personally love the outdoor stadium during the day. The atmosphere is electric.
Yea but the wrestlers don't like the humidity, ropes r slippery.. It's a good visual tho
I love it also, especially when you see the atmosphere slowly go from daylight to night, really awesome. However the humidity does really make it harder to perform. We saw that twice on Saturday where McAfee slipped when he tried to jump up on the top rope, and landed on the ropes with his knees, and Brock also slipped off the barricade when he jumped on it.
Yes, like WrestleMania 9
Hardly. A daytime match will never be as exciting as a night match. Same with any sporting event.
I love it as well
I saw pics of the ring and all the debris on brock the next day and was like "WTF HAPPENED LAST NIGHT???"
I immediately put on the show and was very entertained.
Good show.
The only thing I hate about the Brock vs Roman match is that on the final sequence They didn’t put Heyman on top of the pile they used to buried Brock in.
and every single thing about that horrendously stupid tractor gimmick. every time it was used it made the match incredibly stupid and illogical. watching roman have to just pause and freeze any time brock used the damn thing for several minutes straight as if there was nothing he could do except watch brock drive it at him. it was absolute trash.
@@derpderpin1568 Troll
@@Umega101 #datfacts
OMG.....That would have been awesome!!
Lmao! That would have been hilarious!
The way Paul Heyman stares at Roman is the same way I stare at a full rack of ribs before I wolf it down.
I stare at Roman the same way! I'm always hungry for more Roman!! 🤣🤣🤣
The way Paul Heyman stares at Roman is the same way Paul Heyman stares at a full rack of ribs before he wolfs it down
I'd say the same about chicken instead lol
Thats his Tribal Chief!
No mention of the Maximum Male Models backstage bit? That had me absolutely rolling on the floor
Same here! I legit laughed hard at that one! It was a perfect way to use your talents in a promo.
I can recall ads like the Applebee's one from a year pr so ago that just felt unnatural and un-WWE. This water ad sold me on the product because of the characters. 😁
It was so bad who TF wants to see that crap.
Lmaooo that line had me rolling
@@Sky_Blaze That's exactly why they keep doing it. They know it's bad, they know ppl don't like it, but it's creating buzz, it has people talking. If ppl would just ignore it and 'not react' or bash it, it would fizzle out and be no more. But everyone is talking shit about it, so they'll keep doing it. It's about reaction, they don't care if it's cheers or boos. Once ppl are reacting.
@@circusbezerkus nobody is talking about guys pouring water on them damn selves it's another reason why people that don't watch wont..nobody gives AF I swear wrestling fans just don't get it. It wasn't funny, just pure cringe and channel changing.
1:13:20 for roman reigns vs brock
Appreciate it
Legend
There’s unsung heroes, but you’re the name of the hero that deserves a song!
Brock Lesnar lifting up the Ring with a tractor was a more memorable spot and visual than any Flip or Dive those Outlaw Goofs do on a weekly basis in AEW. Cornette is right Brock Vs Roman was like something out of the Attitude Era
Lol for someone who hates AEW you sure do support it a lot. And we appreciate it 😘
The tractor spot was just as dumb as all of those things. Just as dumb as the beer truck. Just as dumb as every other goofy phony silly garbage vehicle gimmick WWF/E has ever had.
@@nebraskajoenelson8987 why are you kissing? Are you gay?
With the same old lazy interference finish. Apparently we are supposed to believe brock never saw this coming
Warldow turn on AEW Revolution was more memorable than any spot, bad promo and DQ finish WWE had on ther TV on a weekly basis in 2022.
Do not try to compare weekly match spots and the second biggest PPV main event, last man standing match spot.
This must be Jim's favorite ppv since doing these reviews. He seemed to like everything on the card there's always a few things Jim doesn't like
32:25 The Miz just gets it. Tough stiff match he had to walk Logan Paul through. Trained with DDP deserves respect
Wait did Logan Paul or Miz train with DDP?
@@MisterRandomEncounter The Miz. I heard Hurricane Helms trained Logan Paul
He did not "walk" Logan Paul through anything- Logan was supremely prepared and is improving insanely quickly.
@@JasonJohnContos the veteran (The Miz) does indeed have to walk the rookie (Logan Paul) through matches
@@bspsdad for real, like dude has had two matches so far, how does the other guy really think Logan Paul didn’t have to have a bunch of help from The Miz. Sometimes people who listen to Cornette reallyyyy can’t give any props to the ones Cornette hates at all. And I say this as a big fan of Cornettes commentary
I agree with Corny. I miss the days of intriguing matchups on raw and smack down Like Val Venus vs Gangrel for no reason except to have a good match. Everything is a preview or rematch or a cluster.
And even those matches led to interference from their allies or rivals to progress whatever storyline they were actually in.
@@jihadx5307 my Lord yes! The Match would reach its finale then the interference comes down and makes Sunday more interesting!
@@jihadx5307 or you had an up and coming baby face (who’s going to match up against another heel at the ppv) take on a heel who happens to be the Intercontinental Champ on Raw. Just when the face looks like he was going to win, the heel runs in, the heel gets pissed at the other heel. Then you have a possible tag team match for smack down or raw. Then the IC Heel teams up with the face but then backstabs the face and teams up with the heel…… boom. No need to have 10 months of Usos vs SP week after week
I love the entrance and the long aisle. I've never liked the big screen/stage/ramp. Prefer simplicity
I think long aisles are cool but wasn't that big on the L shape they had.
I liked the simple long aisle with the blue curtain. Wrestlemania VIII
what? how is this long aisle more simplier than just having a straight ramp with a big titantron upfront?.... the aisle in the stadium was so not smooth!
Triple H and the rest of the team give me hope that WWE shows will be interesting again now that Vince is out of the way. Not hating on Vince, he gave us a ton of great entertainment over the years but he also has had too much control over people and I believe that is what made the product stale for the last few years.
Vince was (and maybe is) great, but there was a right time for him to pass the torch. And it ended up being 4 or 5 years overdue at the end.
@@user-ii3zm4it4h Yup. When NXT took off and proved that Hunter and his squad knew what the F they were doing, that should've been when the torch passed right there. Like I really struggle with the idea that they had the rididiculously talented collective roster WWE had at one point only to squander it for years to the point where NXT guys didn't want to be called up.
On the other hand, there was a bit of backstage politics going on against Haitch and co by Vince's long-time bootlickers like Kevin Dunn and Johnny Ace etc. If not for those guys, Hunter and Steph would've probably took over ages ago.
I’m the opposite about stadiums in the daytime. I love it! Definitely a cool visual like Brian said
Yeah it’s a completely different look. Sometimes the atmosphere can suffer but it didn’t for this.
Bobby Heenan told a good story in his book about those Wrestlemania 3 carts. Between Bobby's book and the Andre HBO documentary, I think Andre had a great deal of fun at Hogan's expense that day about whether or not Andre was going to put Hogan over in the match.
According to Bobby, Andre threatened to overturn Hogan's cart when it got to the ring. Vince pleaded with Bobby to not let Andre do it. To which Bobby replied something to the effect of "If he's going to do then he's going to do it. How the hell to you expect me to stop him?". As I remember, Hogan never used a cart to get to the ring. Whether that was because it was never the plan or because Hogan was too afraid that Andre would carry out his threat is unknown.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Jim going off about kid rock #priceless... Literally laughed out loud.
funniest moment in the last 5 years when miz gave i think it was moxley a certificate of participation or smth and it said "you tried" on it. even the mark laughed a little. that program wasnt that good but that moment was a classic
The Heyman thing, I agree with Jim it’s like Paul is 350 pounds of pure fat, it looked like Lesnar struggled to flop him so instead just threw him lol
He hit like a dropped turd
That spot was unintentionally funny 😅🤣
I remember Ryback struggled badly to lift Heyman when he was 3 stone lighter. shows how strong Brock is.
@@Kingofthekop1 It helps that Lesnar’s muscle aren’t just for show. Ryback is just a bodybuilder.
No way Heyman is 350. Maybe 280.
Excellent event! The match with Roman and Brock was 10/10.
I agree 100%
The only question is.... Where you entertained?
I was.
I agree
@@jaymeister4850 beyond entertained. Can't wait for the PPV!
Lol 10/10? Lesnar vs reigns first match in 2015 wm31 was 10/10. If you think this summerslam was 10/10 your out of your mind. Still a good match but yall gotta pretend like its there best match
Jim Cornette complimenting a girls match not involving Charlotte Flair or Rhea Ripley ….
What a Time to be Alive …….. 👀
😂🤣😂🤣
I thought for sure Brock would use the tractor to pin Roman down
Same
Extremely dangerous. You saw how violently that thing was jerking around at the slightest controls by Brock? Someone who has a lifetime experience using one
Let's not give AEW any ideas. As they consistently try to one-up what WWE does, and aren't exactly taking care of their wrestler's health
See I thought the opposite, I was like “ok this is how Roman is gonna beat Brock but keep him ‘strong’ 🤦🏼♂️”. I was very happy I was wrong because that seemed predictable, like we’ve seen that before (ala Rock v Mankind in the empty arena match during the SB halftime show)
Roman would have kicked out at 9.99
@@revelstatus2346 2007-2013 cena woulda kicked out at 1 or picked up tractor while it crushed him lol kinda miss Supercena
Glad Corny was able to finally see that Corbin is actually solid. I understand the gimmick may be meh but dude is so underrated. I’ve said Corbin has been the best heel in all of wrestling for last 4 years.
Natural heel.
Corbin is one of the few wrestlers who actually go out there and embrace being a heel, and don't need to do something to get a pop. His gimmicks have sucked since he became an authority figure, but he's always been consistently good in the ring.
Best heel is a big stretch, but he's solid.
Up until about a year ago, one of ty top yes
Corbin is amazing. I understand why they love him. They give him a bunch of bullshit and he rolls with it. I appreciate him.
1:26:30 the way Brian's laugh gradually gets out of control is fucking hilarious
And over such an incredibly specific joke. I don’t “get it”, but his joy at getting it is infectious.
@@Guy4318 I love how they understand every reference the other does, their knowledge is really enviable
The great wrestling historians that Jim and Brian are didn’t realize that the music Jarrett came out to was the music WWF used for his vignettes in ‘93.
I will always appreciate John cena’s entrance because even with his talking to the camera and excitement the salute and boom RUNS to the ring makes up time for all these slow ass undertaker entrances which undertaker I was ok with it and it makes sense but Roman taking 5 minutes let’s go man
its WWE's speciality! when it comes to their big names doing there entrances on big shows, you just know they are gonna have a loooong ass entrance
About the entrances! i hope to god HHH gets rid of those RIDICOLOUS CGI graphics they show! IS THERE ANYTHING WORSE THAN THOSE STUPID ASS CGI?! They do it because of the ego "look what we can do with our CGI and the resources we have!!!" i bet kids from the age 8 and above think its stupid also
@@el-youtub3r402 my buddy and I were discussing this we hope that changes and please god bring back a good entrance ramp. The damn digital background is not cutting it for me.
It fits his character tbh. Roman’s character is someone who does things on his time and doesn’t care what anyone wants him to do
@@theuniverse7227 fair point but what about everyone else especially the women taking these slow walks
@@JohnSmith-wh2ob they need to pick up the pace
10:22 if you wanna skip the tangent and start the SummerSlam review
Nobody wants to skip the tangent..
new here? we listen for the tangent.
@@TheAciddragon069 Nah. Not new at all. And I normally listen to it too, but this time I kinda wanted to get to THE MEAT OF THE MATTER and decided to help if anyone else wants that too.
I went to this show. I was most impressed that there was no long down periods, it didn’t drag, and even my ten year old stayed attentive. Crowd was dead for USO/Profits. The only interest was in the finish.
They didn’t sell one side of the stadium, the available area were pretty full.
I just started listening, I wonder if they mention how 1500 people with $300-$2500 seats had to watch the finish on the screens. The ring lift was cool, but inconvenient for those close up.
To add. Only disappointment was that we all expected a match for Rollins with a surprise opponent.
It was a pretty good show. Helped that the weather was good too. I just wish they would’ve left the section signs up a little longer. Finding floor section seats were tricky when it was just labeled as little squares on the floor lol.
I watched it and came here thinking “Jim must’ve liked at least some of this.” Great show with nothing overly foolish, the Brock/Roman match was pure “holy shit” from start to finish, which WWE needs more of.
Yeah. I think the WWE's problem for years was that they were too concerned with not being wrestling and making sure it's "sports entertainment"--leaving them in this weird middleground where you'd have OTT segments but then undercut by their insistence that this be taken seriously. So 95 year old Undertaker is beating people half his age because he's the "deadman" but then Bray Wyatt doesn't get that same push on his own gimmick. When you lean into wrestling "holy shit" spectacle like Brock vs Roman (and everything it took to put down Brock--which is the Brock I love best..the 1 in 21-1) no one questions Undertaker beating anyone because it's accepted he's supernatural yadda yadda. I much prefer inspired craziness than tepid middleground even if it doesn't always work and it seems for the time being that's the route WWE wants to go.
And I'm all for it.
7:00 whattt? i love when they mix it up with an open roof. its a cool switch and looks special when they do it for a big event
Such a "big" event that they failed to fill over half the stadium 🤡. Yeah "big event" my ass lolol
Lesnar used an open station Case IH Maxxum 130 4x4 tractor with an L630 loader.
how expensive is it?
You forgot Asuka, one of the best female talents period.
I’d rather listen to a fire alarm than hear her speak.
It's "Oscar" around here
Jim thinks that a Japanese woman being Japanese is racist remember?
@@BB-ed4om thats how I feel about Becky. Asuka is great.
Love Asuka. Great worker.
Man oh man what a great show. The middle was a little slow, but it was spectacular
Agreed
It was literally on par with any WWE PPV of the last 20 years. Same exact writing and content.
@@derpderpin1568 can you add anything of substance or just keep copying and pasting same shit on every damn comment.
Yeah, Jim's show is great.
Summerslam, on the other hand...
@@danielburger1775 so witty 😂
I don’t think there’s another man his age that remembers as much and sounds as clear as Jim Cornette .
HHH got Corny to compliment Corbin. A man I think is great. Thank you Trips.
Nothing to do with trips
@@foreverred105 I think if it was still Vince ol Jim would be looking at this ppv slightly differently. He's got a little bounce in his step for this review. Could be wrong
The man has always been a first round draft pick for me. The business needs people who can lose. And Corbin is one of the only people who can continuously do the job without losing!
It's takes a special talent to do that.
@@ultimungo3423 Jim doesn't have the issues with Vince that Last or other's here do. He actually knows Vince and I'm sure respects him regardless of the booking he disagrees with. If anything he probably reluctantly gives HHH credit because he's trashed him before like most of IWC did lol. HHH is motivated, has big shoes to fill and probably wants the critical praise for WWE to match the financial side.
We got to hear Cornette's thoughts on Flair's last match in Nashville
I'm waiting with baited breath for that one.
Edit: I'm honestly not sure if he'll treat Flair with kid gloves due to his respect for him, or tell it like it is.
It was sad.
I'll be surprised if they did since Brian has beef with Conrad and generally they try to stay away from anything he's involved in or talk as little as possible without mentioning his name.
@@jessmcdonaldvotwo fat guys having "beef" is funny to me
Jim isn't gonna b to happy about it
When are we gonna get a reaction video on the Ric Flair last match?!?! 😂 We're dying here!
@James Lacerenza he will be more sober in HIS NEXT MATCH :-D
I was pleasantly surprised by this show. A lot of things were great and that main event was freakin insane.
1:13:19 Brock vs Roman
Once Cornette started going in on right wingers I had to immediately come to the comments to see people getting mad lol
Thank you for the quick upload y'all. What a solid show from top to bottom. Memorable ass main event, sports entertainment at its finest. And they did it all without Seth Rollins, AJ Styles, Randy Orton, or Edge wrestling on the show. The future is bright for wrestling, 2nd golden age incoming
Yes 👍💪🔥💯💯💯!!!!!!!! It's bout to b REALLLLL good!! The way NXT used to be wit them 🔥🔥🔥 Takeovers is how the "E" is bout to be from now on under Hs creative control
I can imagine that a good show in an exciting promotion can make the content creation process go quicker AND easier. 🤔
*3rd*
Honestly, with how good the Pay-Per-View was, can we get a special shoutout to Micheal Cole? Is it me or did it seem like instead of sounding how Vince wanted him to sound, he sounded like himself, organically, passionately?
You would be correct.
I have said it for years after meeting him in person... If only he didn't have Vince shouting in his ear he could become a great announcer like Solie or Ross... In my mind, the Gorilla position transition went something like this:
Vince: Shouts constantly
Triple H: Um, could you please remember to mention this one thing once?
And with McAfee beside him and no pressure from the back, he is actually having fun, and you can hear it... Best Cole commentary in ages.
@@kurtpaulsen6579 I think even JR has said that about Michael.
@@kurtpaulsen6579 I've heard the difference in his commentary from the past few weeks. He's actually having the best commentary in his career, so far
Cole has been great for a while now especially once Pat joined. He was great on Liv Morgan's MITB return too. Maybe Vince not being in your head allows you to focus on what's on screen.
Jim’s take on Kid Rock tongueing Greg Valentine was Fucking HilRious 🤣🤣🤣
I love it when Brian loses it like when he laughs at 1:26:30 . I had no idea what they were referring but laughed along as well. I then searched for the photo, came back to this video and laughed again.
The main event was spectacular. I haven't been so hooked on a world title match in a LONG time.
It was a disgrace
Despite this PLE having been planned before Vince got canned, Triple H made some great alterations to make this a great SummerSlam.
What was his alterations
Well, you know Vince didn't plan to rehire Dakota Kai, for one...
@@narutocankillgoku8023 at this point it doesn't matter. People can enjoy the show (for now) without spite or wanting to root against the company so maybe they'll enjoy it better. WWE has been at least decent for the most part since last year's Mania. Financially never been better and that's WITH Vince. So if HHH can bring the fickle IWC praise then good for him lol.
"PLE" threw me off then I was like, "oh yeah that dumb name."
@@narutocankillgoku8023 Bayley's stable is all HHH. That idea was pitched to Vince before and he rejected it. He didn't like it and he shut down Dakota's call up to the main roster after some tryouts, hence she chose not to re-sign, and they released her. HHH rehired her and went along with his idea of her, Iyo and Bayley. He did that, and I read that he also tweaked the main event by adding the tractor and having Brock destroy the ring. The majority of the rest of the show and the match outcomes were written by Vince weeks ago.
I work a front loader regularly and whether the ring was gimmicked or not, that spot with the loader made me smile ear to cheek. I have bell's palsy, btw.
I was at the show and you saw the crew setting up the steps with the flames during the match, and I remember alot of people stopped watching the match and was paying attention to the while chanting Edge Edge Edge.
When are you guys gonna put Ep 255 of the Drive-Thru on podcast places I thought you said in a tweet Tuesday its Wednesday now.
Good God as someone who lives right next to Nashville you are correct about gimmick city lol
1:17:33 "The Ultimate Test. Is Brock as strong as he used to be?"
I spit out my drink, cornette always catches me off guard
I like the transition from daylight to dark at a wrestling event. Number one I think it’s cool and two it reminds me of WrestleMania III. A win-win in my opinion.
Feels good to hear Brian and Jim genuinely enjoy a WWE show. With Triple H at the helm, we could be in for some fun times. Cheers
Props to Corban for saving Pat when he attempted that superplex.
The long isle always reminds me of Ultimate Warrior running down in Wrestlemania
50:39 na bruh Edge looked badass with that new black metal looking red winged devil shirt and blood red jacket. yea it looked about as cheap as the aew tunnels just in front of the big screen lol! But at least the fire kinda hid some of it or distracted and Edge standing there in the fire with the hellish, purgatory visuals of poor souls tumbling down and burning behind him was just all sorts of badass. you can't deny that. That image was so apocalyptic and Constantine like hell with Edge on fire was demonic and a great tribute to Gangrel and the Brood with the music at the beginning of his entrance too. I loved every bit of it.
Better review than the clowns at wrestling observer.
And u see Theory gonna be a champion... what a clown u are
Was waiting for this one
cornette why do u still have spectrum it takes 1 phone call to change
Jarrett’s music was his entrance music from back in the mid 90’s. Couldn’t really play “With My Baby Tonight” because it was Road Dogg singing, and they’d have to pay him for it (Road Dogg no longer works for WWE).
ciampa actually beat aj last night on raw so brian was right i read it was a good show so i will check it out later, maybe some good times are ahead for wrestling fans the nxt years before aew existed were pretty great those takeovers were top notch
Raw was great
Awesome Shoot Today Jim!!😎🐐🐐
I lived in Nashville from summer of 03- till summer 08. It changed A LOT in just those 5 years.
For Jeff Jarrett, Nashville ain't country no more.
28:39 I agree with Jim. The big move would be for the angle to set up a match. Now every match is the big move. I remember the super kick through the barber shop window
All the way to this day I remember that moment. HBK
Cole also mentioned it was the first time they had a special guest ref @SS since Jesse The Body Ventura!
Finn Balor walking to the ring in a t-shirt and underpants is the least intimidating thing I’ve ever seen
Who's afraid of a prince?
He’s bland and very boring lmfao. Rhea looks more of their leader tbh
@@totallykoolyeah Ubisoft is afraid of Prince of Persia.
WHEN ARE WE RELEASING THE EPISODE
Heyman gave old school manager vibes, and it was great.
21:24 water cooler talk. I think the only time that Vince McMahon didn't want to talk about water coolers was in 95 lol.
For WM 38, Helms and Pearce both trained Logan Paul. Not sure if this was a one off situation or ongoing.
Should also be mentioned that Becky wrestled most of that match with a separated shoulder and is now out for several months.
This was the best PPV ive seen in years. Its got me excited and hopeful for WWE for the first time in years.
Re Brian's trying to list the top women in WWE: the women's division in NXT 2.0 is ridiculously entertaining. So many great looks and personalities and tremendous potential. I have real hope for the future of the WWE women. Also, they apparently did not notice that Becky got hurt early in the match, and it was obvious especially towards the end.
I can confirm, I googled it. That was definitely Barbra pepper🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was in tears when I saw it
I wonder if Jim is going to review the Ric Flair last match pay-per-view or at least the Ric Flair last match I hope so
LOL Arnold Ziffel that was a classic line
Had to get me a Subway before I sat down to listen to this gem.
Thank God Infinity gave me Peacock for free so this was a great PPV since I been watching the old school wrestling matches from WCW in Peacock and this feels almost like the attitude era with the main event.
Jarrett’s music was his old 90s theme right? The “Ain’t I Great” theme?
I love Cornette podcasts. You don't even need to be that much of a wrestling fan - the interaction and stories are just so entertaining.
Agree - the timing on the Liv-Rhonda finish was perfect, Mac is a real asset to the WWE, and can't understand Theory's place in the mix. Right on.
It was just a awesome event..i love the wwe and ima really love HHH and stephine in charge..HHH is gonna bring the basics back to the game and after watching summerslam im very excited..and I love the long walk to the ring..lol it brings that extra to the character if done right
Just a tidbit of info, this review starts at 48:17 on the drive thru. I didn’t see anyone comment this, so I thought I would let everyone know.
That was Jeff Jarrett's theme when he began wrestling for the WWF in 93.
Good start for the HHH era. Not a legendary show taking all of WWE history in account, but their best non-WM PPV in a long time. To quote the man himself….”Game On!”
I'm not really a part of this whole tribal community, but I did notice a lot of AEW fans going out of their way to dump on the show undeservedly. I think that there is a portion of the fanbase that really does want to play Gate Keeper with their alternative and where Vince was just a convenient excuse for them to hate everything WWE. When the reality is that the WWE product will continue to improve under HHH and talent will want to be in the WWE, under HHH. And there's nothing wrong with that. The reality is that many AEW fans (Not the tribal ones) only supported AEW through their hope for someone to push Vince, because Vince creates a better product when pushed by real competition. Which is all they really wanted. With Vince out of the picture, that issue is gone. It will be interesting to see how this dynamic plays out among the fanbase. I can only speak from my experience when I was younger, with the Monday Night Wars. It wasn't some Sega Genesis vs SNES fan civil war type environment. There were of course sections that preferred one or the other, but the vast majority of fans enjoyed both. If you had two VCRs in the house, Nitro was recording on one, while RAW was recording on the other.
I’m gun shy on thinking the issue with Vince is gone. HHH is still a strong corporate guy, but the WWE shows were definitely more relaxed, while it was still a WWE show with all the implied pluses and minuses that entails. Women’s division is still the strongest mainstream competition, tag scene is populated with tumbleweeds, and (with the Summerslam main event spectacle notwithstanding) the overall title scene is a lot of same ol’ same ol’.
I’ll feel more comfortable weighing in on this HHH era in, like, two months or so since WWE’s so damn big and change is likely gonna be slow. I’m still a bit terrified for the guy, he sounded like he was on the verge of a very public existential crisis in that clip Jim and Brian played. So I dunno if he’ll be able to do with the company overall what he did with NXT.
That said, much like anything involving AEW in the discussion, there’s a whole mess of hyperbole in either positive or negative direction. I’d just like to have two promotions that put out maybe 50% watchable wrestling instead of having to rely on scattershot AEW or consistently dull WWE. I’m cautiously optimistic this is gonna be not a golden era for either but a few months where both are putting their best feet forward.
This summerslam felt like the old triple h nxt takeovers
1:26:32 the way Brian’s laugh builds up is amazing. What a laugh
It's a lil guy laugh
I googled the photo Jim is talking about, it makes sense, if I naturally laughed like that, I would too lol
When I was a kid, everytime I imagined Joker's longest laughings being like this.
Travis nailed Jim's physique perfectly in that pic.
Wasn’t that Jarrett’s old entrance music though?
I wished he used his attitude theme
Brian: “If this leads to matches between Ciampa and Styles…”
Jim: “I don’t think it will…”
Let’s see what happens.
Triple H did a great job , one of best ppv’s we’ve seen since coming back from Covid
Felt exactly identical to any WWE PPV of the last 20 years, because it was.
@@derpderpin1568 Had it’s moments. But apparently HHH is a miracle worker.
theres a lot of copium here
@@derpderpin1568 you can stop watching at any time.
Best main event since Money In The Bank 2011 , rest of the ppv was meh.
Was thier in person entrances were ok live minus the edge thing. We literally watched them wheel the box over with a pilot light on top of it lol. Tbf was also just off left to being directly behind the etranceway so maybe it was better for people that didn't have a direct view.
I liked those little ring cars maybe it was cheesy but i thought it was fun to see guys coming out in the little mini ring
You think once in a while Vince will give Cole a call to yell in his ear for ol times sake?
"Say it damn it!"
Left watching wreslting in 2014 but after seeing the main event in this year summer slam...i could feel there is still hope wwe can bring back the old times
wrestling shows have been sterile and unwatchable like 06' whatever you think is the good old days was probably trash. it has it's moments but you can't just sit and watch a full episode of raw like you used to 20 years ago
