So let\u2019s dig into the most overrated and under-appreciated moments from a week full of time-filling builds and one major PLE.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UNDER-APPRECIATED ON RAW &#8211; GUNTHER\u2019S ARENA ENTRANCE SWAGGER<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These entrances at the top of Raw highlight personality oddities every single week. Apparently J.D. McDonagh wears a fanny pack diagonally (yes I know it\u2019s a trend but it\u2019s McDonagh so I can\u2019t let it slide). Sunglasses indoors are apparently part of the dress code, and Bron Breakker travels without a shirt. So much for no shoes, no shirts, no service. But these oddities aside, we got to see some pre-show swagger that only Gunther can pull off. With that said, just how badass is Gunther? He is so badass that he can leave the lights on in his car, and the battery won\u2019t die because it\u2019s afraid of what Gunther would do if it did. That\u2019s how badass he is.<\/p>\n<p><strong>OVERRATED ON RAW &#8211; PROMISES BETTER BE KEPT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Let the record show that The Miz entered into a legally binding contract when he verbally agreed to bring hors d\u2019oeuvres to SummerSlam. And yes, I spelled that right. I checked Google. If the Miz breaches this verbal contract and fails to produce said fancy appetizers, I will motion for him to be punished by being prevented from hosting any outside tv shows for one whole year (which means he\u2019d lose like 7 jobs). Miz you better deliver and that\u2019s the (R-)truth. ***ADDENDUM: MIZ LIED***<\/p>\n<p><strong>OVERRATED ON SUMMERSLAM &#8211; THE NUMBER 2 ANNOUNCER<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What on God\u2019s green Earth is with Pat McAfee\u2019s obsession with fecal matter?! During the Rhea Ripley versus Liv Morgan match I could barely pay attention with all the number 2 references. It\u2019s explicit, distracting, disgusting and detracting. This is bordering on fetish at this point. And just when I think we can\u2019t possibly sink lower\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>OVERRATED ON SUMMERSLAM &#8211; OTIS\u2019 MANSCAPES<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3421041595\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Do we really need to see Otis manscape himself while Maxxine and Akira Tazowa ogle over his efforts? Haven\u2019t we graduated from Vince McMahon humor at this point? I feel like Pat McAfee\u2019s humor has become a contagion that\u2019s infecting the rest of the product now. There\u2019s no other logical explanation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UNDERAPPRECIATED ON SUMMERSLAM &#8211; SIGN OF THE NIGHT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And the sign of the night goes to the inspired fan who held up \u201cTemu Bloodline.\u201d For those unfamiliar, Temu is a very cheap quality, stylish knockoff brand promoted on TikTok. It mimics higher quality fashion, but is nothing but a cheap knockoff that falls apart quickly. That is better writing on SummerSlam than most of the writers who wrote for SummerSlam. Kudos to you, dear fan.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UNDER-APPRECIATED ON SUMMERSLAM &#8211; SOLO SIKOA\u2019S FIREHOSE SCALP<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Did anyone else notice during Solo Sikoa\u2019s entrance that there was an absurd amount of water flowing from his head? Go back and watch it. It\u2019s like something out of Wayne\u2019s World, Austin Powers or the classic Key &amp; Peele sketch in which Jordan Peele sweats profusely while his wife checks his search history. It\u2019s absolutely jarring how much water his hair held. It\u2019s almost like he has a small tube hidden in his scalp that is pumping water onto his forehead. Maybe he has the same sweat glands as Dwayne \u201cThe Sweat\u201d Johnson. I never thought I\u2019d see a sequel to WaterWorld until I witnessed the drowning of Solo\u2019s face during his SummerSlam entrance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UNDER-APPRECIATED ON SUMMERSLAM &#8211; CODY RHODES PLAYS KEEPAWAY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you go back and watch the very beginning of Cody Rhodes versus Solo Sikoa, the ref tries to take the belt from Cody, who stops him so he can kiss the championship. Then the referee tries again, only to have Cody shun him in favor of holding it up for the crowd. It\u2019s a small moment, but I found this unintentional game of keepaway wildly entertaining. Am I a bully at heart for enjoying the rejection on the ref\u2019s face? I need to go do some soul searching. See you next week dear wrestling fans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LISTEN TO OUR SUMMERSLAM POST-SHOW: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/episode\/wrestling-night-in-america-wwe-summerslam-post-show-with-parks-peteani-discussing-title-changes-roman-reigns-return-more--60914935\">CLICK HERE<\/a><\/strong><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2872896099\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/player?episode_id=60914935&amp;theme=light&amp;playlist=false&amp;playlist-continuous=false&amp;chapters-image=true&amp;episode_image_position=right&amp;hide-logo=false&amp;hide-likes=false&amp;hide-comments=false&amp;hide-sharing=false&amp;hide-download=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200px\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"WWE Summerslam LIVE Post-Show w\/Greg Parks &amp;
