PWD WWE Summer Slam 2025: Night 1 Cash In!

[sleepwalk]

I would've taken off if I was Punk. Give Seth the bird and get the hell out.

Even Phil is more professional than Austin Aires.

I enjoyed night 1 a lot more than I thought I would. Glad I tuned in even if I missed the opener.

I just want Jade to go away. Some folks just don't have it.

Jelly Roll did a good Mick Foley impersonation. Drew and Logan were terrific dickheads.

Punk's reaction when Rollins' music hit was priceless.

Took LTR to SummerSlam. We had a really good time. His two favorite wrestlers are (1) Rollins; and (2) Punk, so he went from very happy to ecstatic. He marked out like a madman when Rollins' music hit.

Some Inside Baseball for you: About 17 years ago I trained at a "hardcore gym" near here. The guy was from Jersey. After a few years he moved to LA and has taken off a bit - he's worked with the Dodgers and a few other MLB teams, some MMA fighters and a handful of wrestlers, including Rollins and Becky, who are friends of his now. (Him and his wife were sitting with Seth/Becky at the HOF a few years ago.) I'm on his email list (he does small group and private training/coaching). The Monday after Seth "got hurt," that's what his email was about - how much it sucks as a coach when one of your guys gets hurt and blaming yourself, etc. Up till then, I was thinking it was a work. Then I read that email - in which he said he reached out to Becky and she told him that Seth wasn't responding to her - and figured, Oh shit, it's real.

He worked me! That was like 4D Kayfabe!

I thought the show was solid, with the end turning it into something special. I was pleasantly surprised that Tiffy won clean like that.

Sammy/Kross was just about a squash - take it to mean Kross isn't re-signing?

Good on Jelly Roll taking that Flying Logan through the table.

Finally figured how who she reminds me of if anyone watched save by the bell, the year or two that had the Torrie tomboy chick.

 

[ShadowRun]

Rhea incoming long Feud with Becky confirmed

Maybe we get a mixed tag team match ., it would be awesome if Aj Lee came back for that

Would be cool but probably not , AJ so fully invested in jer writing and comic book career, she looks good in the Meet and Greets but not in Wrestling Shape.


Edit just saw her SDCC pics , maybe there's a chance.

 

[HereticBD]

Gotta say, Seth tossing away those crutches was fuckin' cinema. One of the better cash-ins.

 

[Excelsior]

Four months until the Rumble... Punk wins to set up Wrestlemania?

 

[heavyarms21]

Watching it again Nice timing with Rollins dropping the Crutches right at " Burn it Down "

 

[Batjester]

Night one over delivered in my opinion. Solid B to B+ when I was expecting maybe a C. Only real dud of a match was Kross and Sami.
