Crowd cheering for the kid getting ragdolled was hilarious

Using summerslam to build to a match at the Saudi show is legitimately bad

I know I can be a bit harsh on WWE but I think this has been legitimately bad. Wtf was the Nakamura business? Why didn't he have a match? The Morrison/Miz stuff was just more dumb time-wasting. I don't get it.

Edge/Rollins and the women's triple threat were great.

I am so glad I went to my buddy's house to watch this, what a wonderfully hilarious reaction.

Exactly, same feud but the roles are reversed this time.

The camera cuts during that match were brutal. Kevin Dunn needs to be fired into the sun.

I was watching with some buddies who don't really follow wrestling and they basically said the camera cuts ruined the main event.

The production value and sound tonight were decidedly second rate, and production has always defined the WWE.



Even the entrance music was so unclear.


There were some great matches, the Edge match, Cena put it all out there with Reigns. But over all this was a really bad summer slam.



I still have a feeling that with the current war with HHH and the two idiots, that Vince might be looking to sell.

I thought the show was going well, but then the Sasha no-show took the wind out of the crowd. WWE did great by bringing in Lynch..the crowd was pumped to see her and Bianca square off, but then..terrible finish killed the mojo. It took until the edge/Seth match to get it back again.

I actually didn't think it was a bad show. However, they need to get in some better workers into the middle of the card. They really need to get guys like balor and Cole (might be too late apparently) into the card. Matches like the one with bliss/marie or having guys like Dominic mysterio or Goldberg in matches are not helping..there are plenty of better workers in the wwe that are far more entertaining.

Yeah a sale to Universal seems inevitable at some point here.

I really felt like production let the performers down. The pacing was so off and the booking was miserable.

WWE has such a talented roster but Vince continuously makes them look like clowns.

Also I'm still laughing at the crowd cheering a 15 year-old kid getting beat up.

The pyro being gone was due to the stadium network issues, so I can give them that

The camera cuts were so jarring though, more than normal, and its normally really bad anyways

Plus so many random cuts to cameras that were pointing at the sky

And the sound was bad, seeing from people that were there said the crowd was great, and it didnt come off on tv like that outside the last 4 matches and Becky's pop

The extra little cheer when mvp says he didnt know it was goldbergs kid, he thought it was a random kid, was the cherry on top
