one moment i wish people talked about more in the raven cycle is when gansey confesses to being greedy when it comes to magic. how he says that all the wonderful, slightly terrifying things he encountered lost their meaning after a while because he was always looking for more

excelsior - onwards and upwards - but what happens when you climb so high you forget everything below you?

looking back on that moment i think it’s really important because it shows why the ending of trk was so important. if everything had culminated exactly how gansey wanted it to - if wishes were granted and summer never ended - then i think he would have never have understood the value of everything he had already

one of the big developments in gansey’s character is him recognising the privilege he has and i think without the series ending the way it did that would never have happened because one of the greatest privileges he has - and one of the most important in the books - is the relationships he has with his friends and i think that deserved to be highlighted

all of the gangsey are a little bit in love with and willing to die for each other and that’s immensely important to the story. they are people that are all a little lost on their own who are able to feel safe and understood together and that’s one of the core themes of the books

and in the decision for glendower not to be what they wanted it not only makes gansey appreciate all the other magic he has around him - blue and the women of fox way, ronan the greywaren and cabeswater, adam the magician - but also the beauty of his family - something just as magical and rare and completely fundamental to the story and to gansey

#the raven cycle #trc #gansey #gansey trc #i just have a lot of thoughts ok #the ending was such an interesting choice #and it had a lot of effects on the wider plot #and gansey is such a beautiful character #pats him on the head #i just think hes neat #the raven boys #the raven king #ronan lynch #literature #maggie steifvater

Watched Summerslam 2022. My highlights:

1. Bianca retaining at home.

2. Becky Lynch is an all-time great, man or woman.

3. BAYLEY! DAKOTA KAI! IO SHIRAI! (Now Iyo Sky, which is ok I guess)

4. Maryse is a beautiful woman. My goodness.

5. Yes Logan Paul is a douche, but that boy is one of the best celebrities to ever step foot in a wrestling ring

6. The Miz does not get the respect he thoroughly deserves. Bad Bunny and now Logan Paul, making them look so good.

7. Bobby Lashley is mad underrated, as both a performer and a DILF

8. I don’t thirst over Finn Balor, Damian Priest OR Rhea Ripley enough.

9. Rey Mysterio is 47 years old and still moves like that. Amazing.

10. Edge’s entrance, wow.

11. Bum ass Corbin choir 😂😂😂 Only highlight of that match though.

12. A solid Tag title match. But all four guys looked good, especially Jey 🤤 WWE threatening to split up Angelo and Montez makes me sad.

13. Whoever is styling Seth Rollins needs a raise.

14. Ronda turning heel. Much needed. The same night Becky turned face too. Interesting.

15. Fuck Glenn Jacobs. 🖕🏾

16. A fucking tractor! 🚜

17. Brock picking up the dang ring with said tractor! The chaos!!!

18. The 9.999 beating of the counts by BOTH guys! 😭😭😭

19. Heyman finally getting put through a table! That man dead!

20. Theory getting swatted away like a fly when he showed up. I wanted his ass flattened dammit!

21. Brock actually making me root for him when he kept getting up. Burying him under debris was the best way to finish him off. I can’t lie; that dude is one of a kind.

Overall, a fabulous show. Mr Helmsley-Levesque has started off his tenure well.

My MVP - Michael Cole. He was in God mode the entire show. His commentary for the main event 🔥🔥🔥🔥. This is what happens when an old man isn’t in your ear anymore.

Line of the night:

Corey Graves: “I liked you better when you weren’t allowed to have an opinion.”

Michael Cole: “That’s changed. A lot has changed.”

KIPCHOGE UNSURE WHY HIS LEG GAVE OUT IN BOSTON

In Tom Derderian’s magisterial book, the Boston Marathon: The History of the World’s Premier Running Event, he describes the 1990 Boston Marathon thusly. When 1988 Olympic marathon champion Gelindo Bordin’s coach, Luciano Gigliotti, saw the African runners’ tactics in Boston, he said that they were “funny guys, crazy guys”. It was just not possible to run like that. He called the pace…

WWE Summerslam 2022 - Quickfire Thoughts and Reaction

A new era has begun in WWE, Triple H is back in the creative chair and has promised some shakeups

While Raw and Smackdowns have taken place since, this is the first true event where the McMahon-Helmsley era of WWE ownership begins. Let's see how it goes

Spoilers for the PPV

Kickoff

I'll be honest, I didn't watch the Kickoff, I scrubbed through the video and since there were 0 matches again, I didn't bother.

Main Card

Ah they're still calling it a 'premium live event'?

Those sound like peppered boos from Becky and is that an Alundra Blayze-themed attire?

Commentary noting that Becky went through a full on losing streak only to win 2 matches and get a title shot does expose the poor booking choice though

Bianca doing a blue chaps attire for hometown Nashville

No quickfire squash for this one, thankfully

I also want to take this moment to say Fuck Kevin Dunn for attempting to derail Becky and others from getting tv time and pushes simply because he didn't get a hard on for them. This is meant to be a wrestling show, and Becky is beautiful anyway

Becky whipping out Diamond Dust now? Love seeing wrestlers whip out a new move

That Manhandle Slam sell was great too, completely folded

Super Spanish Fly and KOD wins it for Bianca. It was a good match, strong opener, not better than their Mania show stealer but that is a high bar

And a handshake hints at a face turn maybe? Would be overdue because the crowd reaction has always been strong for Becky even as a heel

But now Bayley is back! And she brought Io and Kota!!!

Trips making a statement; 3 big Black and Gold NXT names back (long overdue callups too because 2.0 was not working for them), women's opener and the hometown girl wins.

I will have to wonder though, because all 3 women deserve to be world champion and there's only 2 main roster titles, unless Trips intend to bring back Black and Gold. I guess they could reignite the women's tag titles but I feel like Trips would want Sasha and Naomi back as a priority

Ha, Logan Paul didn't get cheered even against Miz XD Didn't even get new attire

Camera is getting over the top again

Is, Paul selling the Figure Four he has locked in? He kept shooting back like he had been poked in the eye

Ciampa is about to get ejected (effectively by being caught on the apron) but refuses so AJ's music plays to blindside him

Table spot to try and pop the crowd, very Shane McMahon move

Maryse is caught on the apron: doesn't get ejected

Paul wins via Skull Crushing Finale from dodging being hit by a...polaroid? It was, fine, kinda by the numbers aside from two moonsaults, I don't care for it really

Didn't care for the Maximum Male Models ad put right in between a Brock and Reigns package...

No love for Theory, still

Ash yes, because nothing says USA like Leeds United FC

Briefcase attack pre-match for heat and to imply doubt

Match was pretty short really, Lashley missed the spear, so Theory tried to do a rolling Cutter but got Gorilla Pressed into the Hurt Lock. Didn't need to be there, but I guess tapping quickly is Theory's plan for staying fresh for the main event

Hmmm, more 2 day Manias, who was the one who didn't want it again?

I don't agree with Road Dogg on a lot of things, but I do agree that WWE book Rey as a terrible babyface; he never wins the feud even when it's personal, most of his wins involve interference or cheating and he approves matches like this knowing Rhea will get involved

Also McDonalds colours is not it guys

It's No DQ why are there still legal tags?

Rhea please you're too beautiful to make me pay attention to the match

Rey is 47 remember, he's still this good and deserves more. I hope before he retires (a sad day that'll be) he has a Liger-esque tour of dream matches across all promotions

Edgy Edge comes back mid-match, spearing the JDs to set up a 619 after Rhea thwarted it

Surprised but not mad that the Mysterios won, but it did feel like they were just props for Edge's return, the No DQ format was barely even used too

Owens will for sure benefit from Trips' booking

The Joker even showed up to Summerslam

Couldn't get Seven Nation Army again I see

Reminder that including this, McAfee has had only 2 more matches than Logan Paul and two happened on the same night

Ugh, Ref Bump leads to McAfee low blowing Corbin and then a Code Red

I must admit it still smarts me that there are full time wrestlers booked worse than a commentator

Drew came out to promote Clash at the Castle, it was a good promo tbf, Drew's a great Babyface

Can't do a PPV in an American Football stadium without using their cheerleaders

Those holograms were not in sync

Ha! 'You lose, you go to the bottom of the ladder' is one hell of a lie

The pop-up neckbreaker was a nice move

Tezzy don't do it

*sigh* Welp, Profits lost AGAIN, credit to Jarrett calling it down the middle but it does defeat the drama of having a special guest ref. Didn't get any post-match or heel turn either

So now I ask again, what do we do with the tag division? There's not a Babyface team out there that's able to beat the Usos now, Mysterios are feuding with JD with Edge and New Day are feuding with the Viking Raiders

And we're bringing Charlotte back with a package reminding how much WWE has overpushed her

That is 1000000 times less Kid Rock than I ever needed to see...

Riddle's here too calling out Seth despite not being cleared

Seth comes out, brawls and stomps Riddle before leaving, asking the question why?

Ronda's mascara job is another miss

Liv getting the bigger pop than Ronda still

What. Was That? Let's not ignore the fact that bell to bell that was 4 and a half minutes long, but this was basically Liv being squashed and having a dusty win by the fact that she tapped out (before 3 as well) while pinning Ronda who had her in an armbar just to spare Rousey's blushes

Was this really to turn Ronda heel? Attacking Liv and the Ref, because we made Liv look so damn weak for no reason but to keep Rousey looking strong. It's always the same kind of defeat with her too

Ugh, Mayor of Knox County

Really stretching their 'first time evers' by saying it's the first Last Man Standing Match of Summerslam

Start the main event with a promo, okay

Lesnar here with a tractor that apparently Roman never saw when coming down the ramp

Judy Bagwell thanking her lucky stars she isn't on that thing, but it reminds me of Lesnar vs Big Show's stretcher match, right down to diving off the vehicle

This was just a squash trade to start, Brock beat down Roman using the steps and barricade, then Roman beat down Brock with table bumps, then Brock beats down Roman with steps and the table fragments

After dropping him out of a tractor, Brock beat him down some more, Reigns got the Guillotine but then Brock got the Kimura, since Reigns got up he upends the entire ring with the tractor

Usos finally get involved, Heyman takes a table bump and Brock gets speared

And out comes Theory...he hits Roman with the briefcase but then gets F-5'd

Brock survives a double superkick and gets speared again, survives that so Roman beats him with the briefcase, survives some more, belt shot, survives again...this isn't dramatic

Hey now you can't start a count while the guy is still being attacked, that's a rule of the match, another belt shot and the bloodline bury Brock under furniture to 'win'

Chaotic? Yes, Good? Not sure about it, don't think I was captivated by it, just felt like they were doing big spots for the sake of it

Theory's still MITB holder too don't forget about that

Conclusion

So, Summerslam. Triple H's new vision looks to have some foundation, but it needs work still.

The opener was great, we've set up a new faction full of incredibly talented women, one I hope will be a cross-brand faction so all three can have their touch of gold (admittedly I would've brought Bayley to confront Liv rather than Bianca because SD's women's division is the one lacking depth). We also have Becky turning face which is overdue.

Despite this though, the rest of the show was fine to baffling. Don't care for Paul so the match weren't for me, Lashley match didn't need to be there either, the Mysterios got a surprise win because Edge came back (I guess Rhea vs Bianca will have to wait) which is kinda nice but also, Rey's first main card PPV win since May 2021 (if you include kickoff show then it's first since February) is due to interference, we celebrated 20 years since his debut this week. I guess Pat winning was fine too.

But the rest of the card is just muddled; Tag division is a mess, we shorthanded the SD Women's championship match to 4 and a half minutes (reminder that AEW's women's division got flack for having a 10 minute women's title match with a challenger who had beaten the champion earlier) and our finale was a mess.

Overall, good start but shoddy booking petered the show out, there's some positives to take but a lot of negatives still present from the old era. Rome, however, was not built in a day.

Results and Predictions

Bianca Belair (c) def. Becky Lynch - Pinfall via KOD Logan Paul def. The Miz (w/Maryse & Ciampa) - Pinfall via Skull-Crushing Finale Bobby Lashley (c) def. Theory - Submission via Hurt Lock The Mysterios def. Judgement Day - Pinfall on Priest by Rey via Splash Pat McAfee def. Happy Corbin - Pinfall via Code Red The Usos (c) def. Street Profits - Pinfall on Dawkins by Jimmy via 1-D Liv Morgan (c) def.? Ronda Rousey - Pinfall* [*Liv tapped to Ronda's Armbar before 3 but ref didn't see] Roman Reigns (c) (w/The Usos & Paul Heyman) def. Brock Lesnar - Lesnar does not answer the 10 count
