I think Summerslam has a pretty decent card but oh my god I'm already dreading the amount of stupid padding it's going to have to make it a four-hour show plus pre-show.

It's (possibly) not actually going to be that bad. They have four hours, 240 minutes. 10 matches on the card, that's an average of 24 minutes each for promos, entrances, match, and aftermath. We know that Cena and Brock are both getting much more than that, others are probably getting less. It will feel less empty than some recent 3 hour shows they've run with like 5 or 6 matches.

UT/Lesnar will go 40 minutes between hype video, entrances, Heyman mic work and aftermath.

Jon Stewart is going to get 20 minutes. You'll probably have an Authority promo of some sort taking another 10-15. Another 10 minutes of masturbation over SportsCenter giving them some minor coverage.

I actually think despite the 4 hours, they might be tight on time. We might see a match put on the pre-show (Owens-Cesaro or the tag match seems most likely).

He's not used to hearing that word without 'below" in front of it. It's confusing for him.

Probably the tag match. They love throwing tag matches on the pre-show and they already have the Amell tag match for the actual show.

My favorite part of the Taker/Lesnar build was when Taker came out, stared into Lesnar's soul, and said

'Take me down into your paradise
Don't be scared 'cause I'm your body type
Just something that we wanna try
'Cause you and I
We're cool for the summer'

and then kicked him in the dick

Well you guys made me seem like a big ol' dummy, apparently lots of people are reasonably excited!

I should emphasize it's also the weekend as a whole with NXT on Saturday. And if Roman turns on Dean I will laud it as the coolest major WWE booking decision in years. And I think the show will turn out decent at absolute worst. There is literally no match on the card wrestling-wise that I'd write off as a stinker except Orton/Sheamus and even that's a chemistry thing. Booking is a question mark, but Cena becoming champ I don't love but am cool with, same with Brock/Taker ending in a Taker win, either Dean/Roman ends with them going over or the Roman turn (probably)...

I'd do the Roman turn on Sunday since Summerslam is the second biggest show of the year.

I would do something else big on summerslam and just build the turn on summerslam, saving the big moment for the raw afterwards. If they want the raw after Summerslam to be a big deal like the one after Wrestlemania, they need to make it a memorable show.

As it stands there's been zero build for it so would be out of nowhere and dumb. Give Roman a reason to turn first like maybe he blames Dean for losing

I think they'll get 15, especially since it's a tag team match. They've been given more time over the last couple of months. AJ Lee vs Nikki was six minutes and the Charlotte v Brie v Sasha match was 12 minutes.

Cena hasn't held the belt for a good while now but even this break doesn't seem long enough because he's still flailing around in the spotlight endlessly. Every time you say "I think the show will turn out decent at worst" the show sucks so hard that it could replace my dyson. Don't jinx it foochs. Knock on some wood real fast.

So now the main event of Summerslam is an old part-timer vs. a part-timer who hasn't put anyone over in over 2 years and promotes pro wrestling by calling it fake.

Wonder how the locker room feels about that.

If lovely video game & PPV payouts didn't cause everyone to lose their poo poo, I doubt Brock Lesnar vs Undertaker in the main event of Summerslam would really hurt anyone's feelings.

Dana's not in the business so they flipped out because HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND US

If you're in the business and say it, it's okay because you've lived and known the same poo poo they do and they sympathize with you while not being brave enough to say it publicly

CM Punk isn't around to whine about big profile guys drawing attention to the product, so I assume everyone else understands why it's a good thing.

Not that drawing attention to the product matters anymore when no one gets a percentage of that network money

When someone in the business says it is fake, they are referring to the pre-determined outcomes, the characters portrayed, and the storylines that are showcased.

When someone outside of the business calls it fake, they're claiming that the ring is padded like soft fluffy pillows, the dangerous moves are all done by pullies and harnesses and/or cgi, and every punch and kick thrown misses by a mile and only looks good due to camera placement. Those people are wrong, and the only way to educate them is either breaking their eardrums/thumbs so they know you can't fake pain, or yelling at them via twitter.
