ESPN's Take on WWE Summer Slam

10:44 -- Poor Hulkster just bladed (cut himself with a razor blade to make himself bleed, although we aren't "supposed" to know he did it) and has fake-looking streaks of blood rolling down his face. He was always terrible at blading -- in WrestleMania 2, you could see him doing it during the King Kong Bundy match, I remember being devastated at the time. But that's a whole other story. Anyway, he's wearing the crimson mask.

"Guys, what did I tell you?" Coach says smugly. "Hulkamania dies tonight."


10:03 -- Just saw a promo for "Wrestlemania 22." That's right, no more roman numerals. You think wrestling fans were getting too confused? Yeah, it's Wrestlemania ex ex eye eye ... um ... how many is that?

9:11 -- Angle wins in six minutes and gets his medal back. I'd rather not talk about it.

Yeah I think SS was horrible...usually at least one belt changes hands during a PPV

Oh...who was that?

8:10 -- Our first match is for the U.S. Championship: Orlando Jordan against Chris Benoit, who has an "I used to headline some of these things, now I'm wrestling some guy named Orlando Jordan?" look on his face. This match will last about as long as Jose Cruz Jr.'s career did with the Red Sox.

8:11 -- Yep, Benoit used the German suplex and the Crossface to win the title in about five seconds. Good to see the WWE is still practicing the old SD Jones Policy with black wrestlers -- in other words, come out, dance around, lose in under 20 seconds.

Fuck what the bitch ass writer says man, it was a great show last night. Nothing out of this world, but it's about as good as a PPV can be nowadays. All the matches delivered and there were some great moments.

[Trauma-san]

I like, best, I think... how the guy said that Hogan bladed so obvious that everybody saw it, and that the blood looked fake.




O.K., there's a couple ways to take that. 

1. Maybe, the guy thinks Hogan bladed, and thinks he's smart for seeing that, but since the blood looks fake, maybe the guy mistakenly saw Hogan blade? 

2.  Maybe, the guy's just an idiot who can't discertain that he's contradicting himself in the same sentence, or

my favorite

3.  The guy is trying SO HARD to be a cynic that he can't just hate Hogan's outward actions (blading) he even has to criticise the blood that runs through Hogan's veins (looks fake). 

[Perfection]

This guy doesn't even watch wrestling & admitted that he only ordered the PPV because he wanted to see Hulk Hogan

[Sikotic™]

Didn't he think the Hardy Edge match was real?

[Macaframa]
