Part of me also hopes that Vince/Trips/whoever is starting to listen more to the IWC crowd. Reddit's SquaredCircle subreddit got their attention from the leaks, and guys like Stroud and Shoemaker post there regularly too.

A lot of the things happening today are basically "old school" wrestling tenets: keep the guys feuding outside of a ring until the PPV, push the young talent, make the champs look strong (I'm going to pretend that Orton going over Del Rio on the last Smackdown didn't happen).

And I definitely agree with your sentiment regarding the Bryan/Cena match. Not sure what my plans are for watching Summerslam, but if it ends up that I watch it at home alone I definitely plan on buying it to support the current product. These buys are gonna play a big factor on whether or not we see a continuation of great wrestling. Hopefully this quality build continues to Summerslam.


Or it could all go to shit Monday night.
