SummerSlam (Cherry-Picked)

WWE SummerSlam 2015

WWE US & World Heavyweight Championship: John Cena (US)© vs. Seth Rollins (HW)©

Wow, Rollins’ white version of his attire looks like shit. I’d make a 70s movie reference, but can’t think of any at the moment, because it truly looks like – SHIT. His black version is not good either, but this one is just horrendous. This match was actually very good until the moment it wasn’t. Obviously Cena got AAed like in every other big match, obviously we got another finisher festival, obviously a referee bump happened and that fucking chode John Stewart interfered. Obviously. Zero fucks given. Eh, at least the figure four leglock sequence was neat.

Antonio Cesaro vs. Kevin Owens

Excellent sprint and one helluva brawl. They charged at each other right off the bat, throwing stiff jabs and other strikes all over, they were shoving each other into them objects pretty hard, huge props to both for bumping in full force. Owens’ neck based offense was simple and effective, also proved to be a game changer at the end. Cesaro was superb with his freaky athleticism and intelligent moves and little details in general all around. The match was exactly what it needed to be.

****1/4

Bray Wyatt & Luke Harper vs. Roman Reigns & Dean Ambrose

Harper is still awesome and was the man of the match. Wyatt also looked pretty good, minus the pussified bumping parts. But at least he beat Ambrose properly here, therefore he gets a pass from me. Reigns had better editions in his career, but he was solid enough here. Crowds still hate him. Style wise, this was mostly a straight-forward tussle, which I appreciated. When it comes to technical parts and execution, though, things left a lot to be desired. So much disconnected moves, especially on Ambrose’s parts. I’m not an execution mark, I’ll accept shitty techniques as long as intentions were sold by wrestlers. But Ambrose just annoys the hell out of me. His dives are embarrassing to watch. But, let’s not focus on negative things, because this was a very good match.

***1/2

Brock Lesnar vs. Undertaker

Holy fuck, what a SHIT finish! Damn good match with some great moments, such as that amazing punch battle on the ground (those smiles!), but seriously, the finish fucking sucked hairy bungholes. I get it, you wanna protect Bork, but Jesus… You picked THAT way? LMAO! Almost ruined everything for me. The rest was good, except for another dose of your usual big WWE match finisher exchanges. This company is fucking clueless when it comes to booking a compelling closing stretch.
