Looks good. I'll update the thread.

 

Does it bother anyone else that WWE is still using The Undertaker from around 2005/2006 for posters and match previews? Even on that poster; Undertaker hasn't looked like that for at least five years.

[DC 536]

I don't believe that's the official poster; it's not on WWE.COM anywhere and looks like someone threw it together at home.

[Guest pheadley]

i dont know, i might be wrong. my bad, this is on me, this is on me.

[DC 536]

It looks like someone took the PNG images from the WWE.COM roster page and put them together in a collage.

[Guest HH-Evolution]

Well to be fair, that does sound like the kinda thing they'd do. :lol

[DC 536]

I take it all back; it is an image from the WWE.COM

That Undertaker picture still bothers me....Also, I'm uncomfortable with where Bray Wyatt's hand is :eek:

 

WWE has announced that this year's SummerSlam will be a four-hour event and will start an hour earlier as a result.

[Guest HH-Evolution]

the offical poster, sting should be added soon.

Rumor has it Stings participation been canned from Summerslam as per request of one Vince McMahon.

[DC 536]

Was it ever actually confirmed he was going to appear, or was it just rumours?

[Guest]

Just rumours, I read he was originally supposed to get involved with Roman Reigns/Bray Wyatt/Luke Harper but that seems to have been canned.

[Guest HH-Evolution]

Either way, they really need to learn to commit to ideas...well, at least Vince needs to re-learn it! xD

[Guest Edgehead]

Seeing as they've got 4 hours to fill they could do with having Sting involved in some way.

[TPIB 62]

Seth Rollins vs. John Cena with both the WWE World Heavyweight and United States Titles on the line has been confirmed for SummerSlam.

[Guest Jayfunk]

oh boy Cena as a double champion makes me down in 2015

[Guest Edgehead]

Cena hasn't been champ since last years Summerslam. Just out of curiosity has he ever gone a whole year without holding it??

[Guest Laffy]

If Cena wins is this the one where he overtakes Ric as a seventeen time championship holder or does he tie. I know he is close but cant find if it is this one or the next one he beats Flairs record.

[Guest Jayfunk]

I think the booking of Rollins as the champion has been hit and miss, the cash in was great but everything else he has looked weak, last month he was completely forgotten when Taker and Brock kicked off
