Lesnar was on this year's SummerSlam too.

Nobodies buying anymore of these shows anymore because they realize only Wrestlemania Season truly matters. And they've pushed it that way since 2006.

Oh well #BigShowEra
Summerslam 2012 was built around Brock as the headliner for months and the advertising was great

I agree with @saysumthinfunnymike , WWE has been entertaining as hell compared to recent years. Cena actually has new blood in the main event scene and its working wonders (Punk, Bryan, Shield, etc)

People talk about how bad about Vince Russo was but Vince Russo was right, no one cares about these little vanilla midgets on a grand stage. People forget how bland WWE was when Bret Hart and HBK were in their prime (93-97), that "New Generation" shyt was corny as a mother, its just nostalgic nowadays for YouTube purposes but i would never want to go back to those years.

Russo took WWE to new heights when he added that realistic, gritty feel to the WWE programming from 98-99 and once he left, WWE died. After Russo left WWE in 1999, Vince McMahon ran with Russo's previously planned writing formula for 1 year and after that, Vince couldnt think of any new ideas, Thats why WWE died in 2001, they tried new ideas of their own like the Invasion idea and the Brand Split idea.

WWE is just back to where they have always been, a circus like company with a cult or passive fanbase of moms and kids, the Attitude Era kids are all 20 somethings adults now getting their blood thirsty combat sport fix from UFC and even UFC stole some WWE type ideas with their catchy hype promos and twitter beefs to spark interest in ppvs.


Hi Kevin Nash. Tell me who the two biggest draws are in mma and boxing and tell me how big they are

That Summerslam main event was really thrown together last minute. Sure Bryan had a hot streak going but the Cena match barely had an angle at all. You cant hotshot guys into the title picture and make it work. Ryback is proof of this. Ryback is a guy that they thought would be a main draw but instead of slowburning him into Punk's direction they shot him in there as soon as Cena got hurt like they always do. Even Orton's first title reign didnt work out too well and it took a long time, a heel turn and a great Undertaker Wrestlemania match to get him back on top.

Homie was step up to fail from jump, the entire Summerslam build wasn't even about him vs Cena. They were selling a main event match spending four weeks of tv time telling people that he was Short, ugly and weak. Why would a causal fan that isn't familiar with what Bryan has to offer be willing to spend money after such an awful sales pitch?

I brought the show but I'm a Bryan fan so I gave them the benefit of the doubt and followed the story. Someone coming in cold after not watching wouldn't been impressed with how they laid things out leading into Summerslam.

The future looks grim...let's see. Too much Cena again? Check. Del Rio vs Cena one more time? Who knows why. Punk eventually will face Blandy before they figure out what to do with the main titles at Mania...Bryan or Punk is LIKELY wining the Rumble, no matter what the reports say. Since Cena seems like he doesn't want to ever face Taker at Mania, who knows what Taker is doing at WM XXX. Someone big is gonna be there..Hogan or Austin..one of them. There is no way they try to sell Mania XXX has huge without someone in the Rock's vincinity being absent on the show.

Daniel Bryan winning the title just won't bring in the casual fan money. It is what it is.

But you know what will?

Cena vs Undertaker for the new Undisputed title :banderas:

Career vs Championship :banderas:

The streak vs Cenation :banderas:

Can he overcome the odds :banderas:

Juan do what's best for business :banderas:

- WWE CEO Vince McMahon addressed Summerslam's performance in his opening remarks and in the only question asked during the Q&A Session.

"They didn't buy the attraction," McMahon said of Summerslam. "And these PPVs are attraction based."

Later during the Q&A Session, McMahon was asked how WWE can improve PPV business, or if they're simply waiting to push the PPVs to the Network. McMahon replied that he believes it comes down to "having the right attraction and promotion," nothing else.

"Summerslam was not the right attraction," McMahon chuckled. "That was a swing and a miss."]

Did someone say not the right attraction?

They definitely won't be buying Taker vs Cena. A bunch of respect promos from Cena and him HOPING he can beat Taker. Hahaha..yeah..the fans will be chomping at the bit for that one. Especially causals:laugh:

Too much cena?

Monday’s RAW episode scored 283,796 in social media activity, up 68.5% from the previous week. RAW ranked #1 on cable TV for the first time in six weeks.

- Following his world title victory last night, John Cena gave Rock's mother a hug.

@R=G :salute:

The Rock wont be needed.Even Rock's mom knows the greatness that is John Cena

We'll see. Cena wasn't even allowed in the main event until the Rock came back. WM XXX looks like a garbage factory at this point. THEY MIGHT do Bryan vs Punk but who knows. Too much Cena, McMahons, Cripple H, and Blandy? That's not gonna work nor will it be successful.
