WWE SummerSlam 8/18/13 LD: The Best, The Beast, and The Beard!

I LOVED the finish to the match.

The finish to the PPV surprised no one, but hey, at least the main event of Summerslam can be used to set up HHH vs. Vince, because that's what EVERYONE is begging for right?

 

[Nate DaMac]

That was fucking amazing. Didn't quite top Punk/Lesnar but it was close and Trips didn't fuck it up in the slightest.

Fantastic show.

How exactly does this set up Vince/HHH? HHH did what Vince was trying to do.

I dug it. Hopefully Bryan gets a PPV match with Hunter next month.

The one thing i can take from this: Anytime Bryan has been screwed he comes out fucking stronger.

You really think so? I'd much rather this go the direction of Bryan having to take on the mega alliance of Vince, HHH, and Orton.

Daniel Bryan just pinned John Cena clean after a Busaiku knee kick.

I can die happy.

It's the McMahons. You expect their stories to make sense?

Vince went from making out with Trish in front of his sedated wife in a mental hospital on Valentine's Day to the heroic owner inside of three months.

Even if I seen this finish coming after Bryan's pinfall, it's the the best solution to have here. Keep Bryan the underdog and NOW.. you put Vince AND HHH, AND ORTON against him. Bryan against the world = ratings.

All this needed was Vince coming out at the end and giving a thumbs up.

 

[772Attitude]

So glad i saw the PPV. Well worth it. Orton has been my favorite star for a while so i am ecstatic right now. Can't wait for tomorrow.

Hopefully all Bryan fans take that away. Because it's true, and it's just going to keep that fire burning and keep him over. Title belts are props. It's all about the stories, and this is shaping up to be a hum-fucking-dinger.

I point you to Kevin Nash, HHH and CM Punk in 2011.

How did that go for Punk vs. the world?

 

[It's...Baylariat!]

Also, that running knee kick probably broke Cena's nose.

Oh Bryan is going to come out great on this. I just hope it's not CM Punk in 2011 all over again. Somehow we went from Nash screwing Punk to Punk jobbing to HHH and Nash getting the blowoff match against HHH.

 

[Poop Master Flex]

I actually enjoyed that finish. Bryan won as clean as can be to get screwed afterwards by a heel HHH. Sets up everything nicely and gives Bryan more sympathy and momentum.

If you complain about that then there's just no pleasing you.

I'm not complaining about the finish. I'm complaining about where it's going. The ending to the match was brilliant.

How did that go for Punk vs. the world?

1) It's not Nash.

2) It's the McMahon's

3) Don't think we're going to see Bryan vs. HHH until somewhere like Survivor Series.

I'll point you to Austin vs. the World which involved HHH and involved the McMahon's. How did that turn out for Austin?

[The_Reptile_]

Can't wait to see the suited up, aviator wearing, corporate champion Randy Orton. Orton is LEAGUES better as a heel, especially an arrogant heel like he'll be if he's aligned with HHH and Vince.

If this does not happen I will legit be a sad panda.

KB's worried HHH is going to come out smelling like roses in this by going over Bryan for no apparent reason.

I don't see that happening as long as Bryan keeps losing with dirty finishes. No beating Bryan clean .. ever.

 

[.]

Well I'm mad but I'm mad at the characters so this is pretty great at the same time.

What are the chances of this leading to Bryan/HHH at WM?

 

[Kodo Sawaki]

I understand I just dont like it.

But makes sense. What better way to make someone mega-heel then this. Bryan wins cleen against Cena only to be crossed by only man who you(in logical way of thinking) didnt excpect to be crossed out. Cant wait for Raw yesterday for explanation and that is the whole point of this scene.

 

[The_Reptile_]

I just still can't believe Daniel Bryan beat the top star of the industry clean as a whistle. Even Punk never got a win that clean over Cena. Holy shit.

I didn't see what you said when I posted but after reading I understand your concerns. If what happened to Punk in 2011 happens then I wont be happy. Unlike 2011 though I got a good feeling they will do right by Bryan. Got no proof but I think at the end of the day Bryan will get his revenge against everyone and stand tall.

Here's my worry in a nutshell:

Bryan's involvement being nothing more than a springboard to the real story of Vince vs. HHH for control of the company at Wrestlemania, meaning the story is all about the McMahons, again. Look back at 2011 and then the HHH vs. Brock feud. The ideas were interesting but at the end of the day it wound up being a HHH story, not a Punk or Lesnar story, and that's what dragged them down.

 

[klunderbunker]

Oh and by the way:

Bryan is the latest guy that SUPER CENA WHO NEVER PUTS ANYONE OVER was put over by John Cena.
