Official SummerSlam 2012 Thread

Actually pretty excited for this PPV, legitimately interested in the Triple Threat, Ziggler/Jericho and Brock/HHH. Also can tolerate Bryan/Kane, since Bryan is interesting enough to carry any match.

Miz/Rey, Tag Champs match, and especially Sheamus/ADR bore me, and I'd probably fast forward through those matches if I had them DVR'd on RAW.

But I could legit see any of the 3 guys win the Triple Threat(I know I'm alone in thinking Big Show could win, but he's been a legitimate "I don't give a sh*t" bad ass since turning heel, and Vince loves his monsters.) I thought Punk was hugely stale for most of this year, but this "real" turn where he speaks and acts more like his character should has me interested once again. And Cena is at his best when he's feuding with someone the fans can get behind (like Punk). Someone mentioned it before, but there's a lot of similarities between Cena/Punk and Hogan/Savage.

I think, as many do, that Ziggler is the next superstar, and I love virtually any match/segment he's involved with.

I just think I prefer when wrestler's act "real" and not cartoonish. When you see Sheamus/ADR, and Sheamus stealing ADR's car, etc., it just feels lame. But rivalries built on competition, jealousy, desire to be the best, that's when it feels real, and it makes you want to watch.

bork and hhh going on last? come on, neither of them have won a match all year. they'd better at least have some kind of self-texting finish planned if they want this to be the main event.

Meant Dylan, not the Sub-Dylan

Wow awesome gif, lol. Never seen that before.

[Wallypop]

Gif confirmed amazing. Holy crap.

[Dylan E08]

I'll be back some time tonight so you can all confirm me genius for picking HHH to win.

Go Riders.

havent been watching the leadup, but isnt there a chance kane is going over somewhat dirty here to have a longer feud in which bryan eventually goes over? just seems weird to me noone has said that possibility

also zig/y2j could legit be match of the year if given time

Same, I'll be watching the Riders game and then on to Summerfest afterwards.

Go Riders.

That .gif is the best ever.

[eyebooger]

My hope:

Tomorrow on Raw during the final segment featuring HHH and Cena, all of the champions (Punk, Ziggler, Miz, Cesaro, PTPers) come down Nexus style and beat the **** out of them because their titles aren't being respected.

I don't see why that would be needed the pivengetthe****out.gif is used very often.
