At the end of the day, WWE creative had one primary job to do and that was to sell SummerSlam. To be honest, they failed miserably. Granted, SummerSlam is on such high level that it sells itself, for the most part. However, I don't understand the laziness I witnessed last night. Since the brand split, this has been the most disappointing Raw of the New Era.
With that said, the product is still in pretty safe condition. There's tons of high-quality talent on both main rosters, with a plethora of talent brewing in NXT. The current state of WWE is not in jeopardy. These guys are silly providing a quality product, week in and week out. I just wish last night would've had more focus on SummerSlam, that's all. Not to fret, my fellow wrestling fans, we still have a lot to be excited about and everything will be just fine.

He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
