Big rumor that Taker and Sting both going to have matches at Summerslam, and that both could be on Monday's Raw. What matches would you want them in other than the obvious Taker/Sting match.
If its a two way road then I'm all for it. But between rumors of WWE trying to get nakamura/okada and this happening, honestly I don't really like it. WWE is already far ahead as the big fish in the pond and they don't need any help staying there, what they need is competition. Personally I've liked the fact that New Japan has stayed as far away from WWE in every regard as possible so far, and in my mind that kind of thinking has allowed them to stay WWE's main competition overseas at the very least.
I mean, I'm sure I'm over playing the implications of this, after all it's not like Jushin is a New Japan creation or anything like that. I just don't like what COULD happen if stuff like this starts to steamroll(I.e key talents leaving for WWE)
Wow, Owens taps to that horrid looking STF? It's like they wanted him to lose in the worst way possible. It's still too early to call this one but you have to wonder what was the point of giving him a clean win over Cena if Kevin's just going to end up as another white chalk line on Cena's list of victims.
Oh, and Undertaker's back. I don't see the reasoning here but whatever...
The only good part of the whole night was the Womens' match. The rest of this is a top contender for Worst Event Show Of The Year.
I don't know why I EVER expect WWE to focus on newer, fresher talent. Like... I keep thinking they are rounding the bend, and then we get shows like this and Money In The Bank.
I think owens losing was to make the nxt title rematch at the barclays more unpredictable it's heavily promoted but it would've been more predictable if Owens had the belt , and you're making it seem like Cena buried him it only took 4 AAs to beat Owens lmao. Owens is a better talent than Rusev or Wyatt also who have both rebounded after the Cena loss except for confusing booking of Wyatt over the past few months , he got a clean win over Cena that's a big deal as it should be since the top guy shouldn't be putting everyone over, so i doubt Kevin will end up like everyone else plus they were all classic matches the result may not be what we wanted but the matches delivered. Taker's reasoning lets see, Brock injuring Kane and well you know Taker lost the streak to Brock that's more than enough reasoning there to have him want revenge.
They do focus on young talent, just because Cena wins they don't focus on young talent? Roman, Seth , Wyatt , Ambrose etc and Owens beat Cena clean which no one has done since Brock did it and lost to him twice in classic matches you can't complain about it when Owens was super Owens the entire match but lost at the end and it's not like he hasn't lost before that Balor and Joe have wins over him already. I don't like the ending and thought Owens should've won but you're certainly overreacting here about young talents when the majority of the guys/girls featured at the last two shows are young guys. Other than Cena and Nikki all the titles are held by people who are young and in their first reigns as champion, and the people in the title picture except for the IC title are mostly young/fresh talents. Sheamus winning MITB which was stupid, and Cena retaining does not mean they dont focus on young talent, seems like you want them to not use a proven draw like Cena whose a great worker to get young guys over and he's certainly done that in the past few months mainly with Cesaro and Owens one guy who needs a face run and a guy in his first feud on the main roster how many guys feud with Cena in their debuts that just tells you what they think about Owens.
And Plat believe it or not you can be established as a main event guy by losing too, Owens is a main event talent already, and we have a lot of newer guys in the title picture. A few days ago everyone was applauding Cena, and talking about he got Cesaro over by beating him but making him look great and he's done the same for Owens. Owens should've won but this loss doesn't hurt his credibility like it did for Wyatt or Rusev, since Owens didn't need the win since he's already beaten Cena and taken him further to the limit than most of Cena's feuds the last four years. It's more of Taker looking for revenge for him and his brother, I mean Heyman been trashtalking Kane about beating Taker and Lesnar took Kane out. This PPV was good, one result I would've changed but everything else I enjoyed I think this whole show was used to set up storylines for Summerslam with The Wyatts reuniting to Taker returning.
Well Undertaker has probably Summerslam and then Wrestlemania and then he's done, so it's now or never for the rematch that should happen. I think he should've won the belt too, i'm not in an outrage that Cena beat like so many people online are, I think it continues through Summerslam in some form maybe a fatal four way or triple threat for the title. There's more that they can do character wise and storyline wise with Owens losing than there is with him winning, this is fourth lost within the last two years so that's really impressive especially when you see the guys he's lost to. I know ROH stuff wouldn't count but for Owens it should as he's the same character he was in ROH and his fans followed him to WWE.
Then I don't really want to see Taker vs Lesnar again at all. It's not that I don't like Undertaker, but unless Brock Lesnar's going to like retire him, I don't see the need for the rematch. Yes, there's what you said about Kane and avenging him and if that's the case it will at least make for some interesting storyline. But I'm kinda over part time guy vs part time guy.
Summerslam is supposed to be on par with Wrestlemania, so there's a need to fill out the entire card and make it special from top to bottom, and I think they want to have Taker in front of the New York crowd one more time before he retires. This match has to happen, It wouldn't fit Undertaker's character for him to get decimated and then not come back looking for revenge. I'm fine with part timers as they've earned the right to be a part timer, ten years or so from now the full time guys we have now will be doing the same.
