Posted August 17, 201411 yr comment_5619638 This is the card... Kickoff Match:Cesaro vs. RVD Jack Swagger vs. Rusev (Flag Match) AJ Lee vs. Paige Miz vs. Dolph Ziggler Chris Jericho vs. Bray Wyatt (Double Pin, No Winner)Dean Ambrose vs. Seth Rollins (Lumberjack Match) Roman Reigns vs. Randy Orton Brie Bella vs. Stephanie McMahon John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar So, looking at this on paper, with no tag matches, this could be a good PPV depending on the main event and lumberjack match or a complete wreck. The Bella-Steph and Cena-Lesnar have been the smartest booked feuds but that doesn't always lead to a payoff. Everything else means nothing to me.
August 17, 201411 yr comment_5619655 I was reading something about Swagger possibly going over Rusev and that just seems crazy to me. Rusev is a guy that I would build and build; I wouldn't have his first loss be to Swagger, of all people.
August 17, 201411 yr Author comment_5619678 If this a Grab the Flag match then there is no way they don't have Swagger waving the American flag. He doesn't pin Rusev and they have the rubber match at NOC with Rusev winning clean. I still think Rusev SHOULD win so I picked Rusev.
August 17, 201411 yr comment_5619694 Bummer there's no tag matches. They've been the most consistent source of good matches this year.
August 17, 201411 yr comment_5619695 Bummer there's no tag matches. They've been the most consistent source of good matches this year. There was some ruminations of maybe a tag match featuring Big Show and Mark Henry teaming tonight.

August 17, 201411 yr comment_5619706 Here's the real deal on Brock/Cena courtesy of some jabroni on Scott Keith's website: According to David Bixenspan of the Figure Four Weekly Newsletter, he reported that even if Lesnar doesn't hold the title until WrestleMania, that does not mean he will not be going into WrestleMania as the champion and to not expect several months of the WWE Champion not being at house shows.
August 17, 201411 yr comment_5619707 I really set myself up for disappointment for getting so stoked when Lesnar vs Cena was leaked. Then after Battlegrounds I thought "Hey, Rollins vs Ambrose didn't happen but their first match on the main roster is going to be at SummerSlam and that shall be GRAND". A lumberjack announcement later and while it is likely to be good because of the workers I doubt it'll be anything close to what I was hoping. OTHER THINGS: Jericho vs Wyatt is currently a proven snoozer. Cesaro vs RVD is a complete waste of Cesaro and proven to be meh. Why would I be interested in Ziggler vs Miz? Lee vs Paige hopefully found some chemistry hiding under their pillows because they didn't have it last month. Reigns vs Orton? Getting sleepy just thinking about it. Brie vs Stephanie was being built up rather amazingly until last week where they absolutely jumped the shark and MURDERED my interest. Oh and there is a 2014 flag match.
August 17, 201411 yr comment_5619708 I'm actually somewhat optimistic about the show. Will be watching with a big group of friends so at the very least it will be fun.
August 17, 201411 yr comment_5619712 Really we are now getting a graphic when Booker T says "Shucky Ducky Quack Quack" Oh man RVD vs Cesaro. I am not sure if they have had a good match yet
August 17, 201411 yr comment_5619713 Network is frustrating for me so far. Has "rewinded" back a few seconds five times already during pre show.

August 17, 201411 yr comment_5619716 I'm having major streaming problems on my Xbox for the first time since the initial issues at launch.
August 17, 201411 yr comment_5619717 Network is frustrating for me so far. Has "rewinded" back a few seconds five times already during pre show. Been doing that and a few times of buffering for me, thought it was because I was using my 360 for the first time to live stream (my PS3 is in the middle of surgery to replace a power supply).
August 17, 201411 yr comment_5619718 Late odd shifts with Brock, Steph, Paige, Wyatt, Rollins, Reigns, Dolph and Rusev now all prohibitive favorites
August 17, 201411 yr comment_5619720 My feed (on PS3) keeps pausing and then fast forwards to try catch up so video and audio are not in sync. Pretty unwatchable right now as now is just completely freezing.
August 17, 201411 yr comment_5619722 I can't believe they just put RVD over Cesaro clean. Not fond of the match either.
August 17, 201411 yr comment_5619725 The network is basically unusable for me at this point unless I use 3g
August 17, 201411 yr comment_5619728 Since about the third week after launch the Network has run pretty flawlessly on my PS3, laptop, and phone. Only issue I've had a couple of times has been a Chrome thing where I had to uninstall and reinstall Chrome.
August 17, 201411 yr comment_5619729 I'm watching on Roku. It glitched a bit during Cesaro's entrance but has been fine otherwise. The match was forgettable overall, but I really liked the sequence where they fought with RVD on the top rope.
