I don’t think it should surprise anyone that it would take this long for me to post musings on the most recent of Summerslams. In a way, it makes sense because of the whole count-up experience, but generally, this is done because I split the viewing experience over several days. This was one of the easier shows to sit through. It was long, sure, but it didn’t feel like a chore and I didn’t feel like saving the rest for later. That’s a good thing.
Pick-Ups #35 – August 2019
And a bit of a quick update… so quick you’ll miss it.
WWE Summerslam 2013
So, here’s the deal. I did a VLOG thing on this show when it came out and I seem to recall enjoying the show for the most part. However, it’s been six years and with some time passing, I thought it’d be appropriate to revisit
For anyone interested, my thoughts on this show circa 2013 can be found here. Time has certainly changed certain mindsets, so let’s get to it.
WWE Summerslam 2012
Early 2012 saw the return of Brock Lesnar, who decimated John Cena in spectacular fashion in his first WWE match since 2004… and then Cena overcame the odds and beat Brock, because WWE ruins everything. Now it’s Summerslam, where Brock faces off against Triple H a.k.a. McSon-In-Law.
Might as well get it over with.
WWE Summerslam 2009
Another day, another year, another Summerslam, another John Cena vs. Randy Orton match, another reason to use the above image and tagline yet again… joy.
WWE Summerslam 2008
Title says it all… but the real question is whether it’s any good.
Answers behind the break.
WWE Summerslam 2007
Featuring the main event of John Cena Vs. Randy Orton… I believe this was their 2,486th match in a long-running series of 286,839,129 matches… I could be off in my count by a couple hundred, but I digress.
Also, the return of McSon-In-Law… let’s get to it quickly.
WWE Summerslam 2006
So we’re resuming our Summerslam rundowns, which means I got the NEW WWE Network to work… which mostly comprised the shows playing before a spinning ball appeared. I swear, the ball lasted longer than Wrestlemania 35, but I digress.
So a year later, Hulk Hogan had another match, this time against the son of Cowboy Bob. And to the best of my knowledge, this was Hogan’s last WWE match… though he would wrestle spots in TNA and other places down the line, but the less said, the better.
So might as well get on with it.
Mega Man Maker – Wily Challenge 2019-08-24
One out of five ain’t too bad, I suppose.
DTM House Show – Mega Montaro Maker Pantsu Thing (August 23rd, 2019)
An unplanned late-night Tee Witch stream with echo chamber audio, random gameplay bits, and very loud button bashing. Still a long ways to go before we hit that quality level. Featuring Mega Man Maker and a game about a dog obsessed with pantsu.
