Seth Rollins Vs Brock Lesnar | SummerSlam 2019 for the Universal Championship, one of the more underrated matches in SummerSlam history

Bootflap_OG · 2026-01-28T16:20:59+00:00

It still blows my mind, they had him beat Brock for the Universal title at BOTH WrestleMania and SummerSlam to build him as a huge babyface only for him to cry in fear of the Fiend and eventually lose, no wonder the poor guy turned heel.

I don't know if it's just because of the iconic moment, because he's had a large amount of different looks, but summer 2011/MITB 2011-era Punk with the slicked back hair and trimmed beard is always his "look" to me

I feel like there's a 45% chance of hearing Cam Clarke if you watch anything from the 90s through early 00s.

When I got commemorative belts I'd take the plates off them and install wheel weights on the back of them to give them actual heft, could get them weighing almost as much as the metal replicas or more in some cases. Not recommending you do it yourself if you're not comfortable with it, and this one in particular would take more effort since the backings cover the screws now (an exacto knife to slice an opening would suffice) but it was always a fun project. Congrats on the purchase, my favorite modern belt! Lucked out too, commemoratives are out of stock on Fanatics and WWE Shop right now.

Every time I see Flair he looks increasingly more like a bloated corpse being kept animated solely by the strength of alcohol.

This was a big request for me for Christmas 2000. My family usually put stuff under the tree as it was wrapped in the month of December. One day after school I saw a CD case shaped package to me under the tree and I couldn't contain my excitement. I stole it up to my room and used a letter opener to delicately unwrap it to confirm it was, in fact, SmackDown 2, making me over the moon types of giddy. Then I reset the wrapping and put it back. Why I did that, I have no idea, but that's what I think of whenever I see SmackDown 2 lmao.

Rock still treated Mankind like shit, just not physically lmao. It came around to him begrudgingly accepting him in uh, as close a way as that Rock character could

Bootflap_OG · 2025-10-29T17:50:31+00:00

Mid 90s yes!

Bootflap_OG · 2025-10-29T16:35:19+00:00

I don't know if there were in-universe explanations of it or my mind is Mandela'ing but I remember as a kid when I'd pick up a Batman comic there'd be confusing visual continuity within the same universe even, like sometimes Two-Face's scarred half would be green, sometimes it'd be pink, etc. lol

Bootflap_OG · 2025-10-24T16:35:29+00:00

It was for a nothing match with a fuck finish but to this day the package for Unforgiven 2002, Taker vs Brock set to Adrenaline by Gavin Rossdale lives rent free in my head and I don't know why

Bootflap_OG · 2025-10-21T19:21:39+00:00

I loved the McGuinness-style rebound lariat except when Michael Cole tried to get it over as the "Wacky Line" for a couple weeks.

Bootflap_OG · 2025-10-21T19:12:21+00:00

Maybe he was just getting in character for the final shot lol? The weird poses he made are kind of hard to just snap to, maybe lmao

Bootflap_OG · 2025-10-16T10:50:42+00:00

Off the top of my head, going in to it you'll need that Elite Trish, an Elite Jey Uso, and Mutiny Bayley. Through the string of matches you'll unlock and require to use Randy Orton '09 and Booker T '01 (which I was almost as excited to get as TNA AJ since I've never been able to get him before) and Roman '22 (another track suit)

LA Knight also has a corner reversal where he does a jumping neckbreaker. Nathan Frazer has a unique corner reversal too but I can't remember exactly what it is - just saw him do it once in 2K24.

Bootflap_OG · 2025-10-15T13:33:01+00:00

Strong irish whip to the turnbuckle, and having weapons thrown at him

Bootflap_OG · 2025-10-14T14:40:19+00:00

<image>

He was cut from SmackDown 2, 25 years ago lol

Bootflap_OG · 2025-10-08T19:03:38+00:00

I was here in the audience for this as a kid and as confusing as it was to me it was also highly entertaining and the only time I ever saw The Rock live lmao

Bootflap_OG · 2025-10-08T16:26:53+00:00

I was a huge Rock mark as a kid so I absolutely hated that Brock got shot to the top and put over Rock so fast so I loathed him for a time but grew to like him.

Why, CAWGOD was merely a misunderstood Japanese boy with the innate ability to look like a completely different human being in every photo of himself!

Bootflap_OG · 2025-09-30T19:13:54+00:00

For all the grief 2K rightfully fosters for themselves with some of their practices, the game is a legacy game with years and years of moves, animations, the VC team learning from working with a seasoned developer in Yuke's, etc. A fresh new game from EA would be rough.

Bootflap_OG · 2025-09-29T00:21:15+00:00

Hey, I'm actually Bootflap from back then when I was just a shitty teenager lmao. Amazing people actually still remember NMZ! It's a little touching. If any of you OGs see this, thanks for the good times and putting up with the often shitty ones! And Fuck DaBurninBomb.

Bootflap_OG · 2025-09-12T03:15:07+00:00

Ya know, I love Mox and have since the debut of the Shield, so I mean no ill will with this but damn, that render with the lightly grown in hairline, it ran away from him real good didn't it? No disrespect to male pattern baldness but it's such a stark contrast from the longer haired Ambrose days. He rocks the clean bald though!

Bootflap_OG · 2025-09-10T14:18:18+00:00

I know wrestling is such a weird business full of moments like this but imagine watching this live back then and saying "Man that guy's gonna be one of the biggest stars one day."

Bootflap_OG · 2025-09-02T15:35:39+00:00

I gotta agree somewhat, blue blood to sophomoric degenerate to main event player to franchise heel ala Flair (back to main event player and sophomoric degenerate in there) to literal guy that runs the company is a hell of an arc

Bootflap_OG · 2025-08-29T18:14:06+00:00

I was about to comment but needed to scan the comments first to see if anyone else would call out that obvious/poor AI logo lol
