Summerslam 2012

[Emi's Imaginary Friend]

Just interested to see what others thought about this.

Personally, I was a little disappointed to miss one of my new favourites Antonio Cesaro in action. Jericho and Ziggler put up a good match though, and I enjoyed the Brock Lesnar and Triple H match, those were the highlights for me (as well as my man D-Bryan of course )

Overall, I thought it was an average show. If I were to grade it, I'd say about a B-/C+

I liked Jericho/Ziggler and Punk/Cena/Big Show. Solid matches with the right guy going over.

Bryan/Kane was a decent match, as was Miz vs. Rey. Not special, but okay.

Prime Time Players vs. Kofi and Truth was...meh. Those guys tried, but PTP are still green, Primo and Epico would have been a better choice, or perhaps a 3 way tag match.

Lesnar vs. Trips was fine, but it felt like an eternity that they were out there, and the match was less than 20 minutes. Lesnar had to win otherwise you couldn't book him against anybody else and have him be a monster. It wouldn't make any sense.

And Sheamus/Del Rio was a dud. I'm sorry, I do not like Sheamus as the champion, and Del Rio has had what seems like 50 million chances at him and never wins. Sadly, because of their match's finish last night, they're going to wrestle AGAIN at the next PPV.


Observations:

-There were a total of 7 matches last night. Summerslam is a big four show and it got 7 matches when they used to be able to fit 10-12 on the show.

-The U.S. Champion was on the pre-show. And it was barely mentioned on the PPV. Wouldn't that be a big thing that Claudio won the damn title?

- No divas match. Shows what they think of the division. But they all got to dress up and dance like skanks during Kevin Ruldofs HORRIBLE live song.

- Speaking of that, WHY? It's not like I hadn't heard that damn song ALL NIGHT or anything.

-Also, I would have liked to see a Cody Rhodes/Sin Cara match, and a Sandow/Brodus Clay match, since they are interesting to a point.

- That was A LOT of stalling during intros and in between matches. Made the show feel a lot longer because of the lulls.

- Triple H is doing a retirement angle. I get it. Stop beating me over the head with that LONG, PAINFUL ending where he just dead aired it for 10 minutes.

So yeah, that's what I thought.

Hated the PPV, nothing really was good, the only good thing i saw was Jericho vs Ziggler.
