***SummerSlam 2023*** - Wrestling -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

This show is in progress. Just turned it on. I see that I missed a Ricochet match, which is like finding out I won the lottery.

Cody vs. Brock about to start.

Logan/Ricochet was great. Loved the ending as well.

You didn’t miss a Ricochet match, you missed a Logan Paul match. And he’s awesome.

Brock is in phenomenal shape. He needs to chill with those reckless Germans though, that first one to Cody was brutal.

Okay fair enough, I do enjoy Logan Paul. I'm just really hostile to spotfests and it's all Ricochet ever does.

But I assume you guys are right and that my framing was unfair.

Thought Cody was going to roll out of the ring the way he moved after he hit the mat. Def unsafe there

That would have been ideal if Brock had just left it at the respectful forehead bump, then maybe an affirming nod and a walk away, instead of the full genuflection.

I'm not mad at how they did it. It's just that there was a brief moment of, "Oh, huh, they could actually be doing it better than usual. ... Welp."

I feel like they ended that early cause of Brock's shorts ripping which is a pretty funny reason to cut a match short

wait, why did they just show a 4 minute long Becky-Trish promo for the match that got cut right before this meaningless battle royale?

I can only hear The Mark Remark from Summerslam 2016 in my head when Seth hits a frog splash, "Seth Splashings hits a frog roll"

This women's match is so so so so so so bad. These three should have an awesome match. It's like 1/2* at this point which is probably 15+ minutes in

Do these cash ins just always get mega pops or is Iyo really over?

That was some reaction

It'd be weird since he was the one who kicked Roman to cement The Usos turn against Roman along with the beatdown he just got

I really wonder at this point who is going to be the one to get the belt. Not that I ever thought Jey wins tonight but this has turned into such a mythological reign that there aren’t really many options here

I guess Cody? Although that’s somehow starting to seem wrong
