WWE SummerSlam 2017: Best and Worst Moments
By Bryan Heaton
Best: THIS IS WHAT I THINK OF YOUR BEACH BALL
If there was any doubt that Cesaro is the greatest thing WWE has, this should seal the deal.
I will never understand people who spend the amount of money they do on tickets, then ignore the show because a beach ball is more important to them. It was well reported that SummerSlam tickets – especially on the secondary market – were going for a literal arm and a leg. I had comp tickets for NXT TakeOver and I didn’t want to stop paying attention. It’s maddening.
Thankfully, world’s greatest human Cesaro thinks along the same lines as I do. When the Brooklyn crowd got a little distracted by a beach ball, The Swiss Superman had enough. He took off, hopped the barricade, grabbed the beach ball, and literally ripped it in half.
Take a look at this glorious image:
It reminds me of that time about a year and a half ago when Kevin Owens ripped the crowd for doing the wave. Fun fact: That was a show at Barclays in Brooklyn, as well. It’s almost like they intentionally try to be terrible crowds!
Of course, Cesaro and Sheamus would end up falling short in their title defense against Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose. That made it five for five in titles changing hands up to that point of the show. But for at least one brief, fleeting moment, Cesaro got the upper hand over fans with an attention span that can only be measured in nanoseconds.
