Randy shoulder was up the pin should not have counted

lol...of course, that's the storyline..jeesh

Um...Gunther never kicked out of the RKO, JD. I thought so too, but when they showed the replay Gunther gave a chop to Orton's bad leg, which made him release the pin. That was an extremely clever way to protect Orton's finisher.

I was at 2002 Summerslam… it was unreal… went to Sting retirement this year, only show that I’ve been to live that came close…

We get commercials too. Just commercials promoting WWE. Peacock is the reason we only get 5 matches because 45 minutes is wasted with commercials. I like it being 3 hours for B shows. I would like 6-7 matches instead of the 45 minutes of down time. Takeovers were great at 2.5 hours but there wasn’t a 10-15 minute break between matches either.

Mother fucking facts!!! WWE PLEs are dog shit!

Summerslam is the second biggest PPV for WWE next to Mania. Why would you not make that a 2 hour event? WWE has been killing it with the 2 night events for Mania

57:05 Becky "The Butler" Lynch

Summerslam 2002 is the best pay per view I ever watched

On smackdown they showed us it might be AJ that defends against him. As AJ spoke to Nick. Nick said no. And AJ looked desperate

Its GlasGoH.. not Glasgaww😂

I think Bird Girl has a strong future in WWE She’s just getting started

The Gunter and Orton could be a story line after Gunter win the title to have it take place at survivor series. Make it play into the brand warfare and LTB.

The rematch is made Liv vs Becky Monday for the title

Watch tomorrow double or nothing goes past 5 hours. I don't understand the outrage of saying the truth. On weekends like this why the would you wanna waste the equivalent of a work shift watching pro wrestling?

There is no synergy with the programming id make dynamics 3 hours on Tuesday, the third hour would be called rampage like wwe used to do with the warzone back in the day. 3 hours is a lot but with the amount of wrestling they need the extra hour to get live promos in and storylines Collision stays on Saturdays 7-8 move ppv’s to Saturdays like they used to have, move unimportant matches to that collision like the trios, anything bestfriends related, eliminators. Use collision to get more ppv buys

I think all that is gonna play into Randy's heel turn when he goes against Cody & "management"

I assumed the Orton Gunther finish was supposed to be exactly that but the positioning could've been too uncomfortable for Randy to stay in & couldn't stay down the full 3 count, that what I figured

I feel like that they had already mentionned the title match at stakes in the tournament. I was like, wait a minute… it was not official yet ?!?

My first time listening you tell it like it is bro will be checking you out more

For the vod, it'd be helpful if afterward, you could either add a timestamp so we can just skip the waiting.

Great podcast as always, speaking logic. That fucking bird lady from Home Alone 2 was fucking hilarious.

No doubt that when Charlotte Flair comes back Nia Jax should she win the women's championship will drop it to her definitely as far as the mens king of the ring tournament I like how Randy Orton and Gunther might go at it again because of what resulted at the end of their match overall glad to see that the whole pay per view was good based on what happened to which I give all the credit in the world to Triple H makes me look forward to both Summer Slam and bash at Berlin.

Loved this PPV. Triple threat was my favourite match, loving that story. I think Drew is winning at COTC but imagine the heat if Punk costs him in Scotland of all places

Quick question Where was the Prime logo at this PPV 🤔 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm willing to bet the farm that CM Punk costs Drew his title match at Clash at the Castle, setting up Punk vs. Drew at Summerslam. We'll get Priest vs Gunther at Summerslam with Balor and the Judgement Day turning on Priest. I'm praying to GOD that we don't get a Charlotte in the Bank cash in after Nia beats Bayley for the title

I really wasn't a fan of Cody kicking out after a frog splash to the table + splash from the top rope. It just stretches the verisimilitude a bit too much. Just like his kickout at 1 after the burning hammer. I'm noticing a pattern.

@@MOH_AL_K No. 😆 The "Super Cena" is only entertaining if you are a Cenation fanbase (which I'm assuming you are, which is fine). But for us who are more towards the neutral, that kicking out of multiples finisher is reductant and annoying. It ruins any credibility of a "Finisher", makes most of John Cena matches overrated than they should be, which makes Cena the most overrated in ring performer in history for me, I'm sorry. Just because a match that has multiple finisher and multiple kickouts doesn't make it a great match, entertaining yes but great match? No.

I have no problem with fewer matches what so ever. They can be better paced and not have to rush through them like the usual 10 plus matches where you blink or you miss it, or some matches will be cut short because the ones before went on a bit too long or needs cut short so the remaining matches will have a chance.

Since, JD never liked Vince, and always criticized his booking during 2015-2022 era. It would be fun to know how he would have reacted Vince's booking during the Attitude Era and the Ruthless Aggression Era, since these were the golden years of WWE popularity wise.

Yankees fan here. The Phillies just never lose. What are you guys doing over there in the NL East? Get it together.

26:35 I remember when Randy, Orton RKO John Cena in 2006 wearing a black tank top before that mega three on to match. It really gave me goosebumps because we never seen them face-to-face programming outside of Eddie Guerrero memorial. 27:13 even when evolution was running RAW. The brand split was so special. Kind of wonder what if John Cena was on the same brand with them in 2004? What if Brock feuded with evolution in 2003? That’s what I like about the brand split.

HHH is taking JD's advice and making all necessary changes. He's giving free advice though. JD should be compensated by WWE

Great PLe Gunther and Randy orton match was definitely good so was triple threat match. I cannot wait to see Gunther challenge the world, heavyweight champion when Drew wins that match is going to be a banger

I think Dominic is working with Ripley. Keep the title on Liv so when Rhea comes back she gets her revenge and her title back.

Great ple... Gunther and Orton, Paul/Cody, Liv winning the championship, the int 2 way which btw did yall see that frickin suicide dive by Bronson 😮😮😮😮... Good stuff all around Id give it a solid B 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

They should have put the raw and smack down finals and the finals on the same show

I’m enjoying a Hard Mountain Dew. Very hard to find in my county in Illinois. Surprisingly good.

1:14:13 i was dying at this part

I personally think 6 matches with 3hrs20 minutes length would be better for B tier ppv. 5 matches don't seem enough even tho it's great that every match gets time and show doesn't feel exhausting. But 6 matches with a bit over 3hrs will still get a lot of time per match. Besides ple being shorter than raw feels off

She's done everything, I mean if she signs a new contract it's still good for her but honestly she needs a new start elsewhere.

That won't help. She needs to reinvent herself. Take a few months off. Come back with some new character. Try something different with her booking. Maybe have her lead a faction with some newcomers. Guve them a dominant run and build up those gurls under her wing and then ofc she can put a couple of them over at the end. Wrestling isn't too hard, most times it's the simplest of things

That’s good decision to make king & queen winner have championship match. It’ll make king & queen more prestigious just like royal rumble. Otherwise it’ll make top ppv like king of the ring meaningless. I miss KOTR 2002 when Top 5 PPVs are prestigious & meaningful since then KOTR was a joke until today.

Love it JD

I wouldn't be surprise me if Lynch already signed a new deal quietly with WWE

Hi JD. I wondered why Becky won in the first place just to lose. Then I realized why, because of King of the Ring. At each Saudi show we see one Title change and last year they swapped the Women's Tag Team Championship on RAW just so Saudi can have a Title Change. Now it makes sense to me. I'm a big Bianca fan but I'm ok with Bianca being on the pre-show atleast the Titles were defended in match that made some sense. Due to Bianca injury. Loved that Nia won. Wondering if Gunther wins. Are we getting Drew vs Gunther. Or is Drew losing again at CATC? Thank you for saying what you did about Gunther and Sami. Lyra face does not tell a story

21 күн бұрын

It's simple. Liv winning a battle royal on a raw to win the title is ass compared to getting a proper storyline against becky to beat her in one on one match at a PLE

The 5 match ppv model does not always work. It may work for the NXT brand, but not on the main rosters shows, maybe for ppvs such as the Royal Rumble, Survivor Series, Elimination Chamber, and Money in the Bank. Like I said before, the 5 match ppv is a rip-off. It may be cheap when watching at home for $10, but imagine you paid your hard-earn money to attend a 3 hour 5 match ppv event, you going to feel cheated because half of favorite superstars did not appear on the show. That's kinda like attending a WWE PLE where there's no top stars with star power appear on the show, and most of the matches felt unimportant. Summerslam does not need to be 2 nights. It's not a superbowl-type of event like Wrestlemania. WWE just to need extend the match card to 8 matches in a 3 hour show: 4 important matches from Raw, and 4 important matches from SD. It's OK for one of the 8 match take place on the pre-show in case of time constraints. I do not like the 3 hour 5 match ppv model on the main rosters. And one day, half of the WWE main rosters talents are going to complain about being left out in a ppvs.

my prediction between Bayley vs nia jax nobody win because somebody cashing the briefcase naomi or Tiffany to win championship

TBH, Randy doesn't need to be crowned KOTR. He's a locker room leader and will always be over.

Cody has great matches

I disagree with you about Lyra! She’s just getting started

JD you BODIED this review as always much respect

Botch ending to the main event Orton shoulders were down and ref is looking close up is on X😀

The seeds are planting for dom & liv. As liv looks to take everything from rhea i expect rhea to be kicked put of judgement day and resurge as a top female babyface. Might as well she gets cheered anyways a lot dom is her reason to get booed. Then i see orton turning heel. Orton is just meant to be a heel.

It was better when it was just King of the ring

Lyra will be fine. Just gotta give it more time.

After seeing Nia Jax winning the Queen of the Ring tournament, is that WWE's new agenda, make the Anoai family look strong? They now try to push Jey Uso as a main-eventer. They now spotlighting Solo Sikoa and his Bloodline. With the Rock is now part of the board of directors, WWE is turning into the Anoai show.
