SummerSlam XXXI - 8/19/2018


Dolfan in NYC

Recommended Posts

I never would have guessed that the most memorable thing Gallows and Anderson would do in the WWE run would end up being a meta-80's-regional-fed-internet-comedy-short-series that was an advertisement for KFC.

Cedric Alexander vs. Drew Gulak has been officially announced for Summerslam

What hasn't officially been announced yet is its appearance on the kickoff show

Are they doing it like last year? Cause that means it would be at 5:30 in front a sparsely filled crowd.

Oh it is definitely a pre show match.  No matter how good Gulak has been they aren't putting him in the main show

The Cruiserweight title matches really need to be on the Takeover shows instead of the pre-shows in front of a half empty arena.

On one hand, I wish the CW title match could go on the main show where they could perform for the biggest crowd possible.  On the other hand, I want the match to get a decent amount of time so they can really tell a story.  The powers that be probably don't want them showing up most of the main card either.

If losing to monsters is a burial, then what do you call those 115(give or take) consecutive losses Gallows & Anderson had to New Day in televised Tag Team Title matches? For the sake of nothing more than yet another one of these lame ass arbitrarily handpicked modern longest title reigns; well, for the sake of removing Demolition from the record books.

No doubt they've been irrelevant for the majority of their run. Even if they at least got a couple non title wins against New Day. This was not just losing, it was being squashed in 5 minute nothing matches and then off TV for over a month.

It depends on if they do 2 or 3 matches.

There was talk that they will only do 2 kickoff matches for that exact reason.

That being said - the cruiserweight match isn't always the first match. Like at Mania, they did the Andre then the cruiserweights

Nobody even remembers that they did actually win the belts once.

Probably because this was their reign:

1/29: Win the titles from Cesaro/Sheamus on the Royal Rumble preshow
1/30: Cesaro/Sheamus/Bayley def. Anderson/Gallows/Charlotte
2/6: Defeat Cesaro & Sheamus via DQ.
2/13: Loss to Roman Reigns via DQ
2/20: Defeat Roman Reigns via DQ.
2/27: Big Cass def. Luke Gallows (2:45)
3/5: Defeat Enzo & Cass to retain.
3/6: Defeat Enzo & Cass via DQ.
3/20: Sheamus/Cesaro def. Enzo/Cass/Anderson/Gallows in 35 seconds.
4/3: Loss to the Hardyz at WM.

Other than Karl lusting after Maria, there's nothing memorable about their NJPW run either cause they really aren't a good tag team.  They're the poster boys for New Japan/Bullet Club hype.  Anderson's solid enough but big league Gallows hasn't been any good since he was retarded.

Why not just put the Usos in AOP's swat gear and we could have the Samoan Swat Team with Big Uce Reigns.

The Usos in swat gear would look about as intimidating as Tama Tonga, not at all. Now, Tonga Loa in swat gear would look pretty damn intimidating.

What exactly does riding bitch for Universal Champion Reigns in a Shield reunion do for Rollins? I mean no shit, Sherlock, he can eventually stab him in the back again. That would just be a mindless rehash though. Besides Rollins' next reign should logically be as a face to redeem himself for that abysmal run as the Authority's little glory boy. I mean if they knew what they were doing, the Usos could sort of gradually instigate themselves into the situation as Reigns' guard dogs butting heads with Rollins and Ambrose; which would obviously culminate in a Rollins/Reigns title match splintering the group once again. Reigns being flanked by the Authors of Pain is cool for the pants shittingness of it all but I fail to see their motivation.

Tama Tonga's Wikipedia image does look a hell of a lot like Serj Tankian. Nope, not pants shitting at all.

Are you saying you weren't intimidated by SWAT'n Roddy at War Games?!

I liked the idea behind it, of them showing unity, but Roderick is much better suited for the Undisputed Era.

Sadly, the bell has to ring.
