RIPPA Posted May 11, 2021 Posted May 11, 2021 While not announced by the WWE yet - Summerslam will take place on August 22 (PWInsider was the first with that) Sports Illustrated says the plan is to have it in front of a live crowd and Meltzer says that they are considering holding it in MSG

I'd hope they tone down the set for a MSG show.
Infinit Posted May 11, 2021 Posted May 11, 2021 I can't wait for the fans to come back to WWE shows and Seth Rollins to start complaining about them interfering in them telling "clean stories" 1 1
Fuzzy Dunlop Posted May 11, 2021 Posted May 11, 2021 (edited) The Booker-T A&E doc was fine, pretty good, nothing ground breaking. That being said, the King Bookah run on Smackdown is legit one of my all time favourite runs of any wrestler in the history of ever (a hot take, perhaps?) so it brought back memories of that period and also reminded me of Harlem Heat shit talking into the corner cameras in WCW which was always bad fucking ass whenever they (or most other people) did it and that's definitely not a hot take. Hogan was an...interesting participant in the documentary, I guess. Edited May 12, 2021 by Fuzzy Dunlop 7

Curt McGirt Posted May 12, 2021 Posted May 12, 2021 I watched the Booker doc just an hour or two ago. Yeah, it didn't say much, but Book is forthright about his past (what a sad deal with his mom) and it's a reminder of just how talented he was and is. From the Best-of-7 with Benoit he was one of the most solid and popular US workers in any federation: looked cool, had great music, could talk, cool offense, could do super face or arrogant heel, could do comedy, whatever you needed from him he had it for you. I didn't know about Austin getting injured but even that couldn't stop him. They brought up both Hog Wild and the verbal slip-up so nice that they didn't cut anything.
Web Conn Posted May 12, 2021 Posted May 12, 2021 They didn't mention the Triple H feud nor the Wrestlemania Match.

Booker said in something I'd read earlier today regarding that. Along the lines that he didn't think it was a big enough or an important thing to showcase in his life and career.

No TNA either but didn't he keep TNA out of one his books too?

odessasteps Posted May 12, 2021 Posted May 12, 2021 The other thing I heard not discussed was the infamous Harlem Heat in chains gimmick people seem to bring up here every so often.

I'd hope they tone down the set for a MSG show. I’ve been to the majority of the recent MSG shows and, nope, they use the standard set. It’s incredibly disappointing. Then again, post renovation MSG looks the same as any other arena on the inside nowadays anyway.
Curt McGirt Posted May 12, 2021 Posted May 12, 2021 They showed Book doing something with a bottle of Japanese shampoo? I never saw it before. There's A LOT of Book in WWE I haven't seen -- like the HHH feud.
