It’s SummerSlam! Coming from the Barclays Center, the main event shakes the foundations of Brooklyn when Brock Lesnar defends the Universal Championship against Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman and Samoa Joe in a Fatal 4-Way Match. And “The King of Strong Style” Shinsuke Nakamura gets his ﬁ rst chance at WWE gold when he faces “The Modern-Day Maharaja” Jinder Mahal for the WWE Championship. Plus much more!

We like it because: Second only to WrestleMania, SummerSlam is one of the most exciting and hotly anticipated events in the WWE calendar – and this year’s edition was earth shattering! The Universal Championship Fatal 4-Way is simply electric, with four of WWE’s most powerful Superstars demolishing each other for a chance to hold Raw’s number one title. Particularly impressive is Braun Strowman’s man-handling of “The Beast” Brock Lesnar – a moment that turns the “Monster Amongst Men” into an unlikely anti-hero! But it’s far from a one-match show, as there’s incredible action from top to bottom! Sasha Banks proves she really is The Boss as she tries to win her fourth Raw Women’s Championship. Baron Corbin challenges the veteran 16-time champ John Cena in a sizzling match-up. And Shinsuke Nakamura tries to overcome the odds by striking Jinder Mahal and the Singh Brothers wit his patented “strong style”! There’s also major drama as Shane McMahon referees a heated grudge match between AJ Styles and Kevin Owens over the US Championship. Shane promises to call it down the middle, but anything can happen in WWE… Also unmissable is the reunion of former Shield brothers Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose – plus Finn Bálor unleashing the “Demon” on Bray Wyatt! Be sure to pick up this historic night of action on DVD & Blu-ray!.

The Oral Poetics of Professional Wrestling, Or Laying the Smackdown on Homer
Oral Tradition, 29/1 (201X): 127-148 The Oral Poetics of Professional Wrestling, or Laying the Smackdown on Homer William Duffy Since its development in the first half of the twentieth century, Milman Parry and Albert Lord’s theory of “composition in performance” has been central to the study of oral poetry (J. M. Foley 1998:ix-x). This theory and others based on it have been used in the analysis of poetic traditions like those of the West African griots, the Viking skalds, and, most famously, the ancient Greek epics.1 However, scholars have rarely applied Parry-Lord theory to material other than oral poetry, with the notable exceptions of musical forms like jazz, African drumming, and freestyle rap.2 Parry and Lord themselves, on the other hand, referred to the works they catalogued as performances, making it possible to use their ideas beyond poetry and music. The usefulness of Parry-Lord theory in studies of different poetic traditions tempted me to view other genres of performance from this perspective. In this paper I offer up one such genre for analysis —professional wrestling—and show that interpreting the tropes of wrestling through the lens of composition in performance provides information that, in return, can help with analysis of materials more commonly addressed by this theory. Before beginning this effort, it will be useful to identify the qualities that a work must possess to be considered a “composition in performance,” in order to see if professional wrestling qualifies. The first, and probably most important and straightforward, criterion is that, as Lord (1960:13) says, “the moment of composition is the performance.” This disqualifies art forms like theater and ballet, works typically planned in advance and containing words and/or actions that must be performed at precise times and following a precise order.

WWE Summerslam : Brock Lesnar's Opponent Announced
WWE Summerslam : Brock Lesnar's opponent announced Author : Robert D. Cobb WWE's biggest party of the Summer comes on August 21st from the Barclay's Center in Brooklyn, New York for the second straight year. Well, we now know one of the matches on that card that will sure to be a classic. As announced on Smackdown on July 7, Brock Lesnar will be going up against “The Viper” Randy Orton. The last time we saw Brock Lesnar in the ring was at Wrestlemania 32 when he had a Street Fight against Dean Ambrose. We have not seen Randy Orton in any in-ring action since October of last year. These two wrestlers who are going to be going into the Hall of Fame eventually, have not faced each other since a Smackdown singles match in September of 2002. It should also be noted both Orton and Lesnar came into WWE when John Cena and Batista did as well. What is interesting though to note is the timing, Brock Lesnar is going to be main eventing this weekend's UFC 200 after the Jon Jones was removed. However, many of the wrestling sites like cagesideseats.com were reporting that the timing for this was not done on accident. Apparently, UFC will be advertising Lesnar's match at Summerslam. Also,it should be noted that Brock Lesnar is expected back on TV on July 19th which happens to be the Draft special. So figure that is where you will see the storyline begin to develop. Also, Randy Orton is expected to return to the WWE during a live show on August 13th.
