No bring back the classic slanted steel ramp and 10 foot stage at the top.

8 Heyman being lifted jokes later.....
This match was insane. Honestly the best match Roman and Brock ever had, and a wild ride. We got the hear the real Michael Cole for the first time in a long time. Brock and Roman looked great. The tractor was used in fun and creative ways. Brock launched himself off it to start the match, dumping Roman into the ring, and even flipping half the ring. That was totally insane. Theory got involved, and Heyman took a massive table bump. Yes while it did suck that Roman won, yet again. This doesn't hurt Brock, in fact, it makes him look even more like a monster. Look what it took to beat him, It took Theory, the USOs, multiple shots with the MiTB briefcase, multiple title shots, and literally everything they could bury him with to keep him down. That makes Brock look damn near unstoppable. The fans who loved it are still talking about it several days later. The first PPV without Vince is one for the history books. Tony Khan is in a corner somewhere crying because he didn't think about it first and Meltzer is going to hate it, because well it's Meltzer.

You think he doesn't read what people say online? If anything, Cole probably timed an adjustment to his verbal diarrhea for this moment knowing it would fit well with the narrative that blames McMahon instead of him. Of course he can do that. He wasn't always pure diarrhea. But guess who was in charge back then, when he would have been fired for doing what he'd later do? Vince McMahon. But the truth is coming out now. McMahon was never the problem, it was the yes-men, and fans like you who will be yes-men for the yes-men. I have never ever seen the people blaming McMahon for everything explain away the glory days. Because deep down, they're just terrified of blaming the right people, Cole, Orton, and Cena. They were not a part of WWE's prior success. McMahon is the opposite. He was at the center of it. The culture of participation trophies and softness and fake positivity FORCED McMahon to keep that unholy trinity around all this time as an act of CHARITY to them. And deep down? I think every last person knows it. Look how the defense of Cole boils down to "cmon be sympathetic" which inherently admits he's bad and foretells the online whining that would happen if he got 'bullied'. Orton could've been the check and balance. He could've been like all the other multigenerational names, and kept the standards up. But he's utterly indifferent and lazy. One more thing: on the Vince and Pat interview, Pat McAfee very clearly acknowledged that he isn't being controlled on commentary. But I know they will still be pretending Vince controlled everything 100 years from now.

Jim Cornette is showing age here. He's showing the same mindset that McMahon had at an old age. That match between Reigns and Lesnar was meant to be a brawl, and a brawl with an AWESOME visual spectacle. It was a memorable moment, PPV worthy. Reigns and Lesnar have been in... How many straight on wrestling matches?? Summerslam was a fresh take and it was fun to witness. Even if I paid so much money to be at ringside where I couldn't see the wrestlers perform because the ring was raised by a tractor, its still an awesome moment; especially if I had to explain to someone why I couldn't see them, lol. HHH is fresh minded and exciting.

Nah. That’s just a selfish mindset. The reality is people paid a fortune to sit at ringside for this thing and had the view ruined by a stupid stunt with a tractor that had no reason to be anywhere near the building. Those fans are going to come out of this event thinking “I’m not going to risk buying tickets to these events again”. They’re not going to talk about this to their friends outside the wrestling fanbase because it sounds ridiculous just like most of the wrestling shows now. The only people who’ll praise this are the million or so fans in the online echo chambers that tune into this shit no matter what. They’ll jerk off over this until somebody inevitably one-ups it while the normal people who hear about it or see it will laugh at the Jackass-level shitshow that wrestling has become.

That's horrible to hear man, keep pushing through: well wishes 🙏🙏✊
Does anyone else see a Roman Reigns babyface turn coming? He’s so over with the crowd and he gets cheered all of the time. Sure there are boos, and he’s doing amazing work as a heel. But he’s so good as a heel, the fans appreciate it and cheer him for it. That being said, I enjoyed this match, not for its wrestling work, but for the spectacle that it was to cap off this stadium show. I do understand Jim’s point about its quality as a wrestling match, and I agree with that point. The ending was crazy, and Roman standing on top of that heap of rubble over Lesnar with his one finger pointing up was gold. I took it as the only way to legitimately beat Lesnar in a last man standing match. It was fun.

No. At least not in this run. He'll most likely ride this out then when(if lol) he loses take a well earned break. His next run could be a face but at this point he's reached the legend status. People like him, Orton, Brock, Edge for example are too legendary and accomplished to really get booed. Because they're respected too much and cool.

So according to Cornette this was a great last man standing match just to summarize for everyone, but he didn't love it because it was a last man standing match
Hogan vs Andre was a HORRIBLE match too but it was a SPECTACLE and that's what WWE does best.

The review we all been waiting for !.
I got hospitalized so I had to watch this on my phone so when Brock almost flipped the ring I popped and so did my blood pressure 😂
Great fight, paul e taking that f5 had me crying 😂😂
One thing you missed, the ref started the ten count as they were stomping him out while at the same time covering him. He was at 7 or 8 while they were still laying stuff on top of him so how was that an honest ten count???
Wow a fair and almost unbiased review of WWE by Jim AND Brian. A round of applause and a solid like from me. Keep up the good work.
This match was the epitome of SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT
Could have done without the Usos; but this was the best match this two ever had.
The wrestling business has been so boring lately it’s just nice to see something unique and funny and entertaining
Just saw this match and I loved it. Was fantastic fun.
Summerslam was my first WWE show I've seen since 2009ish. It was good shit pal.
well it was definitely a good piece of business. and it starts a dialogue. how do we define the quality of a match nowadays? by how clean the holds and transitions are done? by how real the punches look? if you say it is about storytelling then this match did a great job at that. all the little interferences and grandiose spots told a story of 2 behemoths who want to do anything to destroy each other. in that regard you can't complain. what (for lack of a better word) purists may not like is that the way the deliver the story was cinematic rather than by classic wrestling.
This match just left me speechless and in disbelief.
Awesome Shoot Today Jim!!😎🐐🐐
It’s crazy that Jim said you can tell these are their two money guys. I remember in the 90s when half the roster got that crowd reaction and were money guys.
In my opinion, this was easily the best match between these two. And a helluvalot better than their WrestleMania match earlier in the year
This was something else but in a good way. Summerslam was excellent and a great start to the HHH Era.
Thank you for doing this channel. I stop watching because the old guys were leaving and the new ones don't put fire in my eyes to watch wwe. Hear all the old and new stories about what has been going on made me want to watch again. Thank you keep it going. Wrestling forever
Definitely not a match of the year candidate, but it definitely was a spectacle. I even showed my parents the next day. Basically like, u gotta see this🤣

HHH vs. HBK Royal Rumble 2004 I would put in.
I watched from beginning to end how the bloodline started after Reigns turned heel. Why didn't they try this before? It's like the whole Rocky Mayavia character all over again. I've never seen a guy go from so stale to having so much charisma all from a heel turn.
It wasn't a great wrestling match, but it was a perfect WWE match.
13:20… I don’t even know the picture but the response absolutely killed me lmao
Wish there had been more in ring wrestling. But that was awesome.

I had to find this famous pic of sammartino/calhoun he was referring to when lesnar f5 heyman. OMG its so true, exactly what it looked like
To be honest I'm glad this wasn't a typical wrestling match. We have seen that alot between these 2 the last few years. The only thing left for them to do was have an all out brawl. Thats what we got. I thought it was a perfect cap off to the feud.
Nothing can get me to watch wrestling again...but I'll listen to Cornette talk about it for the rest of my life. I saw the clip of Lesnar lifting the ring and was like "yea OK sure". It did absolutely nothing for me.
Paul Heyman taking the F5 like a champ was great. The crowd should acknowledge him on Smackdown.
This was basically Goku vs Jiren in wrestling form. It was an absolutely insane spectacle and I loved every minute of it. It made sense because its these incredible super heavyweights in the match versus say the barbed wire fiasco with the washed up politician rock star and a guy who thinks he is in 1993 All Japan.
This was the best match I have seen in year's from WWE. I like SummerSlam this year
looked up the Bruno Calhoun pic and nearly laughed till i died, I knew by Bryan's laugh in this vid it would be good, but God, that was too funny.
The only other main event that was WWE-tier "SPORTS ENTERTAINED" good in recent memory was the infamous 3v5 Shield ft Kurt Angle vs Miz, The Bar, Kane, Braun Strowman. The other heels actually placed Strowman in the fucking dump truck it was ridiculously good. That was just oddball chaos I loved it back then. This Summerslam Main Event, love it from the spectacle perspective. It ain't no technical masterclass but hell not every wrestling match has to if it can tell a story.
I think that it was a great match for the type of match it was with who was in it. It is just two big guys beating the hell out of each other....which is what you wanted.
"Just shoot it without epilepsy". LMFAO!!!

How many last man standing matches stay in the ring???? Context Corny and there's video of Brock getting up climbing top of the ring and being acknowledged.
Lumberlesnar is awesome. Now, kindly, I don’t want to see another Roman/Lesnar match ever again.
