I went with [mul]DOOMSTONE to the Mulligans Sportsbar because SatanPro was late. I had two pitchers of Mobjack Pale Ale and thus God knows that I`m tired and drunk so this won`t be too in-depth. Lemme just say this was prolly the best WWF PPV I`ve ever seen.
WHAT WORK-
- Angle is just BEYOND our Olympic Jesus. He was fucking FABULOUS in this match. Rey Rey was fine but Angle made it work. His no-hands Jerry bump was fucking beautiful.
- Edge vs Eddy was fucking great. Edge sells his shoulder like RVD couldn`t even come close to selling and Eddy is motherfucking awesome laying in the ass-kick. The Eddy Toprope Shoulder breaker and the FUCKING BALLS TO THE WALL FROG SPLASH TO THE SHOULDER was my own personal Jesus. It doesn`t help Eddy at all, but great match.
- Brock Lesnar and the Rock were motherfucking AWESOME. The finish was fucking great. The build to the finish was motherfucking great. The bumping by Lesnar was motherfucking great.
WHAT DIDN`T WORK-
- Why is Jericho putting over Flair? Flair was fired up and his chops were the best parts of the match but I wasn`t feeling it.
- The RVD vs Benoit match was perfectly fine because Benoit carried the useless RVD like Benoit will do. RVD lack of ability to sell in the least ruins this match. Fuck, Road Warrior Hawk sold a shoulder better than THAT shit. P-U.
- The finish to the UnAmericans vs Booker T/ Goldust made it suck dick. The fact Goldust and Booker T represented the table I was sitting with- a fat gay man, a regular gay man disguised as a normal man, and a fat gay man- makes me think that I should love it. But I didn`t, even though Lance wasn`t annoying and Goldust was king-sized. The double legdrop was SOOOOO contrived. The Test run-in with the lame Big Boot was fucking horrendous.
- A Texas Death Match and Shawn Micheals uses a BLOOD CAPSULE. U CAN SUCK MY DICK!!!!!! HHH was GOD-like in the match though. SUCK MY DICK! Blade like a man, pussy-assed motherfucker.
- Girls did stuff to Harvy Finkleman to kill time before the main event. Yes.
I would have sworn that as the match went on you could see a small cut on HBK's forehead. I'll have to watch the replay closely on that one.
You never know when you'll meet that special someone... the someone that's mysteriously blind to your flaws. or, you know, stupid enough not to realize that yes, you really are that cynical.

Shawn didn't blade deeply enough, but you could plainly see the cut. It just wasn't deep enough to bleed throughout the match.
This is the cut that sliced his head wide open in midair in HIAC1, he ain't using a blood capsule. Besides, HHH more than made up for that wimpy cut himself.

Heck, HHH = MANLY BLADE JOBS. Always. Period. As for HBK... *sniff*... I am DEFINATELY gonna buy the replay...or the tape...or something, because SummerSlam sounds like it rocked six ways to Sunday...but Dad wanted to watch TV...so, I was screwed again...

You know, I worship at the Church of Benoit too, but I thought the rolling Northern Lights Suplexes were a bit silly. I wanted the German (x3), especially after Angle didn't do it.
You're all so WONDERFUL. Why did they ever have to remove you from the continuity? You'd have made for MARVELOUS stories. You WILL make marvelous stories. And the FIRST story of the new world will be a story of REVENGE! -- The Psycho Pirate, Animal Man 23, May 1990.
Ah, Dean - you are only bitter because of the Benoit long island screwjob (and the beer).
Tell me, do you seriously think HBK/HHH didn't exceed ALL expectations? While I am not sure whether HBK capsuled or bladed (I thought he bladed light and it closed), I thought he was amazing for being off, what, 4 years? I wasn't expecting near the workrate out of him.
And Benoit/RVD. RVD's gotta come to Smackdown (just as Billy and Chuck gotta come to Raw), so they played it that way. I got a kick out of the Northern lights and the both of them trying the crossface. Entertaining.

----- DR: Oh fuck, RVD is soiling SMACKDOWN? That ain't good. The HHH vs HBK match was good. I was just drunk and pissed off that Micheals didn't match his Midnight Rockers vs Doug Summers/ Buddy Rose bladejob. The blood capsule ruined it for me. If it wasn't a capsule and he didn't blade enough, then he should have bladed more. What's the fucking point. I figured it would be good, but I wasn't ever really feeling the hate in the match. I'll take the hate over big bumps anyday.

(edited by DEAN RASMUSSEN on 26.8.02 0943) YES, I AM DEAN.
Rock's offense is too suspect to be a heel. His selling- which seems to be his strongpoint- is better as a face. Brockner needs to not turn ever. He is the best possible Rookie 320 Pound Fuerza Guerrera Ever. Did you see how fucking great he made that catapult into the post look. That was like Psicosis 1994-level awesome rudoing.
Nothing better than posting while drunk. Kudos to another fine report Dean.

Agreed that his offence at the moment is suspect for a heel role but I think if he is given a heel role then he would step up with his offensive arsenal. Yeah that sell by Brock was killer but I think Rock did a better catapult sell when facing Austin at WM X-7.
Also after seeing Angle in that first match how good would a match be betwwen him and Milano Collection AT or Masato Yoshino.
Or even one of my English citizens Doug Williams. Now theres a match to savour!
