I finally made it to the big city that I had no idea even existed! Plus we get to meet up with our old BFF!
This game is starting to prove more and more difficult with each interaction but the way they scale up your kit and not necessarily your power is really interesting. It doesn’t give you a leg up in damage a lot of the time but more so a leg up in mobility and the ability to learn new uses of the upgrade to your kit.
I dig that.

Episode 1: Welcome to Suplex City (Volume 10)
(background photo by Gred Altmann on Pixabay)
INT. THE UNIVERSAL CROWN – LOBBY – LATER
The lobby exits are bottlenecked as everyone tries to evacuate.
Renee interviews a distraught Heath Slater. RHYNO stands by devouring a pack of crackers.
HEATH: I got kids. I don't have time for this kind of stuff.
Charly searches the crowd.
Bandannas off, Dawson and Wilder blend in with the crowd and walk out the lobby doors.
Charly pushes her way through the mayhem.
EXT. THE UNIVERSAL CROWN – MOMENTS LATER
Charly runs out onto the red carpet and scans the area. Way down the block, Dawson and Wilder hop into their RV and peel off.
Byron and Tye chase Charly down.
CHARLY: Come on.
She hurries to the Raw Talk van.
CHARLY (CONT'D): Tye, I need you to drive.
She and Byron get in.
TYE: What's happening right now?
CHARLY: We're thinking outside of the box.
She tosses Tye the keys. Still oblivious to what's going on, Tye gets in the car anyway and starts it up.
CHARLY: Follow that RV. Byron I need your phone.
Byron hands her his phone. Charly makes a call.
CHARLY (CONT'D): Kurt, we need airtime...Trust me.
INT. HUMMER – MOVING – SAME TIME
As Seth zooms down the road, Dean checks his phone.
DEAN: Guys. I know where they are.
He's watching a Raw Talk live feed of the car chase from the Raw Talk van.
CHARLY (O.S): We are now trailing the suspects' RV down Patterson Street. Looks like they're trying to leave the city. Suspects are unarmed, but could still be considered dangerous.
TYE (O.S): This is insane. This is insane!
INT. REVIVAL RV – SAME TIME
Wilder glances at his side mirror. Sees the Raw Van.
WILDER: Are they following us?
Dawson sticks his head out the window. Sure enough, the Raw Talk van is gaining on them.
DAWSON: Shake them off.
Wilder swerves through traffic, narrowly missing multiple cars and takes a sharp turn around a corner.
INT. RAW VAN – SAME
Tye gets stuck in traffic. The Revival is getting away.
CHARLY: They just turned left on Bischoff Drive. SCPD, the rest us up to you. Don't let us down.
INT. HUMMER – MOVING – SAME Seth slams his foot on the breaks. He puts it in reverse and drives backward.
DEAN: What are you doing? We're losing them.
SETH: Taking a shortcut.
He whips around, puts it in drive then shoots down Blayze Lane.
INT. RV - MOVING – SAME
Wilder glances in his side mirror. They're home free. Dawson kicks back in his seat.
They turn a corner. Wilder pumps the breaks. A big, black Hummer is blocking their way through the underpass.
Dawson leans closer to the windshield trying to see through the Hummer's tinted windows.
Someone BANGS on the door. Startled, Dawson and Wilder look at each other.
Roman kicks the door down. Steps in.
DAWSON: What are you going to do, arrest us?
ROMAN: You got the wrong guys.
Dean and Seth enter stand behind him.
DAWSON: Suit yourself.
A fight breaks out. Dean and Roman tag-team Dawson, pounding his back, while Seth takes on Wilder.
Seth slams Wilder against the counter, knocking off dishes, and holds him down.
SETH: Who put you up to this? Was it Triple H?
Wilder headbutts Seth hard. Seth stumbles backward. Wilder braces himself then charges forward and dropkicks Seth out the doorway. Seth lands on the concrete.
Wilder's not done. He gets up and dives out of the RV landing on Seth with an elbow drop. Seth yells in agony.
Roman hears his cry. Leaves Dawson to Dean.
EXT. OUTSIDE REVIVAL RV - CONTINUOUS
Wilder climbs to his feet ready to attack Seth. Inside the RV, Roman moves as far back as he can then launches himself at Wilder striking him with a superman punch.
INT. REVIVAL RV - CONTINUOUS
Dawson pushes Dean off of him and uppercuts him in the gut. He grabs Dean and tosses him into a table, cash and jewelry falling all over the floor. Dawson stands over him.
DAWSON: This has been fun and all, (kicks Dean) but there's a storm coming, and we don't plan on being here when it lands. So, if you excuse us, we'll be leaving now.
He lifts his foot to stomp Dean unconscious--
Dean kicks Dawson's other foot from beneath him and hits him with a Dirty Deeds. Dawson is out cold.
SIRENS in the distance. Roman and Seth appear at the entrance.
ROMAN: We got to move.
SETH: If we let the cops take them in, we'll never get what we need out of them.
Dean has that look in his eyes. He has a plan.
EXT. RV – MOMENTS LATER
Police cars are parked around the RV.
JBL and Booker T stand outside the doorway. The RV is trashed and empty.
BOOKER: Looks like they made a run for it.
JBL: Does it?
Something else happened here, and he doesn’t like it one bit.

Notes: Retribution in Emoverse has two parts, the “main” Retribution which is Tommaso Ciampa, Dominik Dijakovic, TJ Perkins, Rosemary, and Tenille Dashwood but there is also a “side” Retribution which is Mace (Dio Madden), Slapjack (Shane Thorne), and Reckoning (Mia Yim). Both parts are led by Mustafa Ali.
Tag Squad: @riottstheory
TJ Perkins stared down at the Fiend, unflinching at the stared of the crazy, well, Fiend. He wasn’t scared of the former Smackdown wrestler, even if everyone else was. And no, he wouldn’t let him in.
“Perkins is staring down the Fiend, is he crazy?” Byron Saxton said. The Fiend took a step closer when Rosemary slid into the ring, stepping in front of TJ.
“Rosemary is seemingly blocking Perkins from the Fiend,” Tom Phillips said.
“Come any close and you’ll regret it,” Rosemary said. TJ smirked as the lights went back off, the Fiend disappearing.

I have been ranting endlessly about the new playable vault hunters and just how much I LOVE their designs and personalities and yes, I am saying that without even hearing a word of dialogue. From any of them.
The team at Gearbox has done an amazing job at crafting personality into the designs of these characters and making each of them so uniquely distinguishable.
So I made a video talking about exactly those things.

I am all up for the Saxton Hale/Steve Irwin Shane Thorne gimmick.
It’s something different other than the usual same old same old “i’m a really good wrestler” and thats it.
Shane fucking rules, is probably one of the most underrated guys in WWE and hasn’t been able to show off anything he can do yet, if you watch his shit in NOAH it’s like fucking AMAZING perhaps one of the best aussie wrestlers of all time.

My Review
SummerSlam 2016 is one long ass show. I’m aware that’s a bit of a redundant statement because, in the age of the WWE Network, every show is long and, more often than not, they’re also ass. However, the point still stands: this show is a whopping 4 hours and it’s not something you can digest in one sitting on a rewatch. For the record, I totally support making the SummerSlams and Survivor Series and so on seem just as big and important as WrestleMania. It’s fine by me for WWE’s Big 4 to feature absolutely stacked cards. Unfortunately, in modern WWE, this approach also results in the shows running out of gas midway through and some of the matches going on way longer than they should. The 2016 edition of the summer classic isn’t exactly the worst example of this trend, but it definitely shows similar signs of fatigue.
On top of that, it’s such a heel-dominated show. It’s only occasionally satisfying. In their crusade to make the audience finally embrace Roman Reigns, the WWE would pile on the heel victories in hopes the crowd would pop like crazy once the Big Dog got the W in the main event. It’s inherently flawed psychology to think the crowd is just going to accept a long-awaited face win from just anybody. That can really only work in a particular situation. Needless to say, it often failed because while Roman would get the W, the crowd still hated him. Worse here is that he doesn’t even wrestle on this show. So who was this booking supposed to benefit? I guess you could make the argument for Finn Balor, whose Universal title win remains a highlight of his WWE tenure. Even then, it was rendered irrelevant 24 hours later, as Balor would vacate the title due to injury.
With all that in mind, it shouldn’t be surprising that such a heel-heavy show ends on a rather depressing note. Brock Lesnar pummels Randy Orton into a bloody mess and that’s it. That’s the show. Fade to black. It would’ve been fine if placed somewhere in the middle of the card, but it’s such an awkward way to close up shop. They did have a pretty workable story going into the match, and I’m not gonna pass up the rare occasion to see Orton get beaten into oblivion, but talk about deflating. The whole thing winds up looking like a pale imitation of Lesnar’s squash of John Cena back at SummerSlam 2014. Oh, and there’s some drama with Shane McMahon at the end because, as we all know, that’s exactly what the WWE needs: more McMahon family drama!
The far more successful dream match is John Cena vs AJ Styles. Truly something special. It’s essentially the same finishing move and near-fall spam fest that plagues every major WWE main event, but I don’t mind it here. This is meant to be an epic blockbuster between two of the biggest stars in wrestling of the post-Monday Night War era. It makes perfect sense for both guys to throw all of their deadliest ammunition at each other right out of the gate. Styles was in the midst of one of the hottest stretches of his career at this point, but Cena deserves just as much credit here. It’s kind of amazing. For all the times he’s proven that he can rise to the occasion in a big match situation, there are still anti-Cena bros to this day who’ll deny it every step of the way. His record of putting people over isn’t perfect, especially at SummerSlam, but what he does for AJ here is pretty selfless. I don’t think even his haters can deny that.
Overall, SummerSlam 2016 isn’t a bad show by any means but, again, the length ensures it will inevitably start to drag. A shame, because there’s probably a pretty good show somewhere in here. It’s nice that the WWE is trying to make the biggest party of the summer feel important, but too much partying can make even the most diehard fan eventually feel pooped.
My Random Notes
I can only imagine what someone like Jon Stewart really thinks of WWE’s comedy. I mean, he’s probably had plenty of experience doing his best with bad material, but you’d have to think he had to grin and bear it here at several points.
In light of Sasha Banks’ recent spat with the company, I can really see why she’d be frustrated with her booking. Would it have killed them to have her hold the Women’s title for longer than a month? I know an injury is cited as the official reason she dropped the belt here, but it’s still the first of several instances of them yanking the rug out from under her.
Man, Enzo and Cass were so frickin’ over. They’re such laughing stocks now that it’s quickly become lost to time how much the fans were digging them. Of course, they only have themselves to blame for fucking it all up, but they really did have something special there for a bit.
Dean Ambrose in his black torn shirt gives me some serious Bobby Heenan singlet vibes.
Funny how the pre-match hype package for Dean vs. Dolph centers so much around who Dolph Ziggler is because, as I’ve stated here previously, I still have no frickin’ idea who Dolph is supposed to be. He’s some anonymous hybrid of HBK, Mr. Perfect, Billy Gunn, and an ‘80s Trapper Keeper with literally no individuality. I find it ironic that he later got into a storyline where he kept changing gimmicks only to never find anything of his own. What a summary of his entire WWE career.
Hey, Balor may have had to surrender the title 24 hours later, but at least this meant him getting another run with the belt in the future, right? Right?!?
Man, Nikki Bella was so frickin’ over. Why does it feel like I’m repeating myself? In all seriousness though, people can hate on the Bellas all they want, but in no way should it be surprising that they still get big pops. They’ve done more for WWE’s mainstream visibility than a lot of other superstars allegedly have.
Speaking of Nikki, crazy to think that she’s only one in the six-woman tag to not hold the Smackdown Women’s title.
I can’t be the only one who felt a little kick to gut when they showed fans waiting outside the now-deceased Toys R Us. I don’t need another reminder that my childhood is dead.
When did Lana drop the accent? I don’t watch Raw and Smackdown weekly anymore, but it horrifies me to know I let this travesty pass me by.
I know some people were upset they allowed The New Day to surpass Demolition’s record for the longest reign as tag champs but I’m totally okay with the decision. Sure, they occasionally get into terrible storylines like this ringpostitis shit, but they’re incredibly over, sell a ton of merchandise, and can wring out some entertainment from even the worst material. If they really wanted to insult Demolition, they should’ve given that honor to The Ascension.
