Fastlane Tonight - in Cleveland!

[Derek]

Yeah, you and MoFlo have been MIA for awhile now. Honestly the thread overall has been dead, and there are reasons for it. Hopefully last night's Raw brings the interest level back up.

Daniel Bryan going down was just a shot to the gut after everything seemed to have fallen in place. I don't have a ton of interest in watching Cena as champ, but watching each former member of the Shield continue to grow as well as watching Wyatt face off with Jericho (on the mic this should be gold) makes for an interesting summer.

Ambrose seems to be getting the shaft while the other two thrive.

High chances that Sting appears at SummerSlam for shock value? I'm hoping for something epic because these lasts PPV's suck ass. Sting was at the comic-can and is quoted

"I'm open for anything. I've been very public about the fact that I'd like to get in the ring at least one more time and I've named my opponent on and off over the years. It doesn't matter, though. Just one more ... one more."

Imagine...Sting appears at Summerslam one way or another would be dramatic shock value because a large audience will be viewing. Lesnar wins, well because i think its time to put the belt on him after defeating Taker, no way he loses to Cena (again). Bell dings, ref raises Lesnars hand, Heyman goes nuts of course, then the spotlight and cameras zoom in on the Stinger in the rafters pointing the bat at the beast. Heyman is almost in tears because now he has to lead the conquer to beat the icon... He can sell a good act. *Goes to black*

SS is in Cali, Sting resides in Venice Beach. It just makes sense this time.

Yep! Was pretty awesome. Here it is for those who haven't seen it yet:

That last PPV should have been called Botchlleground... It was terrible.

Ambrose has been getting pushed up there as well. He's in a nice feud with Rollins.

The tag titles match and battle royal were both exciting, but yeah other than those matches the rest was pretty bad. I would have been pissed if these were the old days of $60 ppvs and I paid to see the Rollins-Ambrose match only for it to not occur.

Summerslam has alot of promise though...
Official match
Lesnar vs. Cena for the belts

Unofficial matches
Ambrose vs. Rollins
Reigns vs. Orton or HHH
Jericho vs. Wyatt (hopefully better this time around)
Paige vs. AJ for the Divas title

Other matches that look possible...
Uso's vs. Dust Bros vs. Wyatt's for the tag team titles
The Miz vs. Ziggler for the IC title
Rusev vs. Swagger

The Miz vs. Ziggler for the IC title

Seriously, let these two feud over the belt until the Rumble. Every person who wins the IC Belt all of a sudden becomes a jobber to main eventers. IWC would love it. Clevelanders would love it. Would make the IC belt seem meaningful again.

Did you see the match they had against each other on Raw last week? It was very impressive, one of the best of the night. They both have good chemistry against each other and both are finally starting to get a little love from booking. I would be happy with a long feud between the two.

Matched I'm looking forward to.

I feel like the guys outside the ring in a lumberjack match should be required to actually dress like lumberjacks. Missed opportunity imo.

 

[TheLand1287]

Shocked they made Cena look like Zach Ryder out there vs Brock Lesnar, but I'm glad that Brock won. Also glad to see Ziggler win the IC title, Wyatt win clean over Jericho, and solid matches across the board. The worst part about Summerslam was the streaming and audio quality on the Network.

 

[col63onel]

Better than I thought it would be.

Heel Miz is the best. As a mid card heel, he'll have to job more than I'd prefer. But this movie star gimmick fits him perfectly.

I thought the match of the night was Rusev-Swagger. Great psychology. Made you think Swagger actually had a chance to win. Rusev is mega over now as a heel. I'd bet Sheamus is his next feud.

2 decent women's matches. And the Reigns-Orton match got the death spot AFTER a womens match. Usually, there is one womens match and it gets the death spot. This time, it created the death spot.

Lumberjack was the absolute worst possible gimmick. I understand that Ambrose/Rollins will be a rivalry for a while and they didn't want to burn a cage or HIAC match on their 1st PPV, but better no gimmick or just make it a no DQ match. They actually had to have somebody tell the lumberjacks what to do. Ambrose's dive onto all of the lumberjacks while they carried Rollins was a cool spot, but beyond that.....uggh.

I know it's great to see Cena get dominated, but how many shows is Lesnar booked for. Are we really going to have a part time champ?

 

[Rich]

I like Wyatt winning, but man it makes me so sad that Jericho, the best guy in the company on the mic, has just become a big name used to put people over. I guess he's ok with it, because he keeps coming back after touring and getting stuck doing that, but still I'd like to see him actually compete for titles again.

 

[RapsCavs]

Wow. Not only did Cena lose clean, but he got dominated the whole match. Usually Cena would just come back after being dominated the whole match but Lesnar just won in the longest squash match ever.
