Why do that to yourself? You’re watching a WWE B-tier PPV in 2018, don’t give yourself a wretched hangover on top of it, that’s double jeopardy, that’s against the constitution.

They're all B-tier

The differences between this and Summerslam are Summerslam's gonna be longer, have more than 12 matches, have a Taker match I think?, and there will be some different champs (except for Carmella, she'll still be champ)

Also it'll be less than a full 24 hours after a Takeover, so even the few stans who can't help but make this company (for some reason) their hill to die on will note it sucked compared to something else very recently

Things that were good tonight:

The Mickie/Alexa/Nia assembly line spot was funny
Mickie James, in general
The chokeslam off the cage was cool

32 here and unless I’m drinking high quality stuff in decent quantities I just get sick. The downside is because I don’t get lingering shiftiness, I perceive the high quality stuff as somehow not being as effective?

Like I made myself a very nice 4-shot screwdriver using pineapple orange juice and topped with seltzer water. I had two of these, but because the vodka was Tanqueray, I just kind of fell asleep and woke up 6 hours later. Should have just taken sweet baby NyQuil at that point.

Only saw the Rusev v AJ match and the iron man match so the PPV was good from my perspective I guess since I must have missed all the garbage outside of that

Yeah I feel like I just need to find a place where there is less hatewatching because that demotivates from anything (hell its why I stopped watching several shows because of TVIV's dumb bullshit), but that would probably leave in places like the WWE version of TNAmecca.

Holy poo poo that show was trash. I'm thinking the following for SummerSlam.

Asuka finally beats Carmella, Seth either beats Dolph thanks to a returning Ambrose zeroing out McIntyre OR loses due to an Ambrose heel turn, Ronda beats Alexa, Hell No beats the Bludgeon Brothers, AOP squashes the B-Team, Randy and Shinsuke have a boring rear end match, and I genuinely have no clue about what they're doing with anything surrounding either top title.

I'm glad I came in after the first hour, then turned off during Ziggler's entrance to play Overwatch instead.

I've been pretty content watching NXT and the PPVs regardless of what Raw and SD do, but my god tonight was boring as gently caress in the parts I watched and sounds no better in the parts I missed.

AJ retains over Joe

I'm generally in the same spot except tonight I actually agree with the people thinking the show was rear end. Not as a general rule though.

Ronda beating Alexa is something I am more sure of than anything possibly ever. Even more than anything Brock/Roman.

Alexa loses if they do the Ronda match at Summerslam

They're going full Jinder with Carmella, she's losing at November at the earliest, or at least waiting till she's feuding with someone not Asian because that's surprisingly still a big hangup for WWE in terms of giving main non-midcard titles out in 2018

Just drop watching Raw and Smackdown? I did it and it's pretty great. I know all of the live threads have a reputation of being negative but it is really just the WWE threads. NJPW is incredibly positive. NXT threads are positive. RoH threads tend to be more positive then WWE even though it has its problems. People here are incredibly positive about good products, WWE just isn't one of them right now.

They'll find a way to carry it out to Wrestlemania. And then maybe get cold feet, because even if he wont even admit it to himself, WWE's booking is more about espousing his ideology more than anything now that he has permanent revenue sources.

They did it 30+ times, choose any point from the iron man match

At one point they took away the giant timer the crowd was using to count down from the titan tron and they started counting down twice or more a minute at random times in protest. Then they brought the timer back around the 10 minute mark and the loving timer got a yes chant.

Yeah this is what I do I get my 10$ in unethical blood money worth with NXT/205/other specials that I don't really care about even watching the PPVs at this point, I work out during Raw that by the time I get back home I go on the GDT and its just "lol this is awful" so I don't even bother watching and the same goes for Smackdown even though it has improved when I do watch it.

Yeah I think its just extending to the PPVs now and with NJPW again I don't have the will to watch it in a GDT live

See the problem is this though. Tonight is truly an exception but more often than not I can find things to enjoy with the shows but then trying to read the GDT or discussion threads kills whatever enjoyment I had because the vast majority of people are just jerking off about the badness of everything and how it's all dying and Fox will cancel SmackDown after two weeks and Nothing Matters.

It's like trying to read a Trump related thread in D&D after potentially good news. I'm not saying it all of a sudden makes everything great but holy poo poo.

Tonight you were complaining the most during a time when like 95% of the thread were laughing and enjoying themselves though - like the one time during the show people were legit having a blast watching it

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
NXT is great, Smackdown is passable, RAW is the worst wrestling show since the dying days of WCW and since Vince is most hands on with RAW and the PPVs they're both miserable to sit through. Nobody defends the WWE because NXT has its own GDT so there's nothing positive to talk about in the WWE threads
