My guilty pleasure - WWE

[Irishman12]

Is anybody really looking forward to SummerSlam? With the exception of a few matches, I'm not really, which is disappointing. The only matches I'm looking forward to are: Alexa/Ronda, AJ/Samoa Joe, Carmella/Becky/Charlotte and the Shinsuke/Hardy match as long as we get something longer than the 11 seconds we got last PPV. Other than that, for being the 2nd biggest show of the year behind WrestleMania, I think it's kinda weak and a regurgitation of Extreme Rules.

so you're looking forward to half the matches on the card...

3 matches, possibly 4

NXT will steal the show anyway.

I'm happy I got tickets to NXT over SS. I think SS will be good, but I think takeover will be great.

It usually does

the length of the SS card is unbearable.

It'll probably be close to a 4 hour show I'm guessing

[MJGallicchio]

PWInsider is reporting that former NXT Champion Aleister Black is not expected to be cleared in time for TakeOver after undergoing surgery to repair a groin injury that he suffered during a recent NXT live event.



Original plans called for Tommaso Ciampa to defend the NXT Championship against Aleister Black and Johnny Gargano in a triple threat match, but now it appears that the main event will likely be a singles match featuring Ciampa defending against Gargano.

Damn.

Summerslam Kick-Off show starts in an hour

Is anyone else watching Miz & Mrs? I think the Miz may be one of my favorite people on the planet.

Real World Miz ftw

Not at all but saw it got picked up for a second season already but someone's gotta be watching it.

Real World Miz ftw

I remember watching him when he was on Real World. He had his wrestling name and persona figured out a long time ago. Crazy that he could go from there to WWE with the same shtick.

I've always respected that. I put him up there with Orton as far as near-perfect heels go. Nice to see the dude getting some recognition. Maryse was so hot back in the day (still fairly hot, but ya know)

[Irishman12]

I really liked the Miz's last IC title run before Maryse went out with the baby. He would do anything to hold on to that title and more times than not, Maryse would interfere to help him. Made for a great, sleazy heel that you couldn't wait for the payoff to come.
