Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
In some ways I don't care about the fuck finish because there were literally no actual stakes here. The streak is long gone and Brock doesn't look any weaker when he "loses" on a fuck finish.
Honestly the only thing about it that bugs me is how incredibly obvious the reasoning for it is.

Wow really? The crowd was silent for that match and I was watching the WWE stream. It was the designated piss break and it sounded like fans responded appropriately.
I heard people loud most of the time, mellow at the end since 4 hours

Yeah, two super over wrestlers following a Bellas match were the designated piss break.

I had a good time, I guess NXT was more fun for me cause I was discovering a lot of people for the first time, where Im more familiar with what WWE has to offer.
The Divas (ugh) match was bad because they let all the bad performers hog the limelight. Charlotte is awesome but wasnt allowed to do anything for 20 mins. Lynch is great also but most of her time was spend rolling around on the floor. Let these people fight 1 on 1, give them a couple matches per PPV and build actual storylines that dont have to involve the entire female division at once ... then youll probably get some better matches.

Same here.
Overall I liked SummerSlam. Didn't care for the finish to Lesnar/Taker though.

It's about much, much more than streaks or titles. It's about Taker literally passing on the mythology of what it means to be "the phenom" to Brock. Ending the streak was only the first part of the story. It's about a man desperately clinging to the mythology he has built for himself and seeing it crumble before his eyes as the next generation swallows it up and makes it its own.
This is like Christianity using Pagan holidays as their own, or adapting the Gita to their own ends. Like the Quran adapting Jewish/Christian stories to apply more directly to its followers. This is about so much more than streaks and titles. This is Brock Lesnar consuming the myth of the Undertaker, one chapter at a time.
Wait. When women were in that spot, it was the piss break. But because it was now filled by two men the internet is into, it isn't? The spot before the main event of a big show has always been the piss break match, regardless of who was in it.
He's saying the match before the main event is the usually the piss break (and he's correct because wwe put the divas there typically for a reason). Wasn't a shot at Owens or Cesaro I don't think.
The Divas piss break was a short, meaningless match they put on between the two big matches, meant to get no reaction and just give the crowd a break.
Owens and Cesaro was obviously not intended to be that way, given the fast paced work.

There is news going around that the undertaker collapsed after his match tonight.

Listen guy, I know you like Owens and Cesaro, but that was the piss break match. The match had zero stakes and had a significant amount of time dedicated to chinlocks. Tell me, what did either man gain from that match? Is KO now the number one contender to something? He defeated a guy he's pinned two or three times in a month and a half. Had Cesaro won, he beat a guy who lost the night before in a ladder match. It was the definition of a no stakes, easy to skip match. It had less build and stakes than anything on the show, including the divas match (which was also a longer match).
Absolutely the piss break match.

So, if Seth joins New Day, does he technically become a tag champ? Like how Xavier is 1/3 champ.
Also, awesome job by Stephen Amell. Being a huge wrestling fan, he must have loved every second of it.
Great PPV. My only complaint is that Team B.A.D didn't win the divas match.

Sorry, I let my Canadianess leak out.
Just finished Bayley/Banks... There was your Diva's revolution.
That match was fucking FLAWLESS. Banks is gonna have to do some serious heavy lifting on the main roster, cuz the talent there hasn't had a match anywhere near the caliber of what I just saw.
Congrats to Bayley and her incredible mid-section. I am super jealous of it.
That final high-risk maneuver, too. OMG.

But I thought he was a good guy and a victim of the terrible booking too?
Or so the internet keeps claiming.
Taker Lesnar end was strange. Cena Rollins end was strange. Best match was the 4-way tag. So much awesomeness there! I also enjoyed the Divas match but it was a hair too long.
The rest were entertaining. I was pretty happy overall.
Btw, first time watching wrestling in years.

Pitch pipes to C, my friend.
Darren Young's beatdown in this tag match is just hard to watch. Why is he the guy that this keeps happening to? It happened it before, but it feels worse here, for some reason.
Oh, hell no. Just noticed he was bleeding from his mouth before Titus' hot tag. Fuck that noise.

The PPV wasn't bad, but the match finishes were strange all over the place tonight. Night started off with a double countout and ended with the timekeeper calling the end of a match that was missed by the ref (and the live cameras), then overriden by the ref.
Just fucking odd
Just fucking odd
Night started with 2 clean pins tho
It's the problem with modern WWE booking- nothing ever resolves, nothing ever ends, its just this stream of ennui.
Thank god for HHH and the NXT team, who clearly remember the late '90s/early '00s and what made that work.

What did Brock tap Taker with? Did Seth win clean?

What the hell was up with John Cena tonight? Rollins was carrying him the first half of the match and Cena seemed really sluggish. Whether you like Cena or not, he can usualy put on a solid match.
BTW, that new orange "15 Championship wins" shirt of his pretty much spoiled the ending to the match. Also, the Jon Stewart bit was stupid.
