Extreme Rules 2015 As It Happens...

[Matt D]

I didn't loathe Rusev vs Cena until that last stare off when both of them had 3 corners. Then I loathed it. The only way that could be a worse WWE Cinematic moment would be if Michaels was the ref.

[Parties]

Bad finish and Lana and Rusev def. shouldn't split, but I didn't hate that as a PG strap match. They did what they could uber-safely. I wasn't expecting an ultraviolent, bloody chain match where someone gets Roddy Piper hearing loss, and company seems against choking of any kind. Where does Rusev go from here? Would be great with Bryan once he's healthy.

[Jimmy Redman]

Naomi is a heel now?!?! What is happening in this life??

[Strummer]

pretty sure they have done that Lana spot on house shows recently

[Zoo Enthusiast]

Disappointing chain match. I just hate those touch the corners matches, though.

[CodySave]

The changing neon lights on Naomi's shoes are incredible!

[hammerva]

Really you turn Naomi heel, give her a new shitty entrance, AND STILL LOSES

[C.S.]

Naomi should've won, but that match was bad.

[Exposer]

Nikki vs. Naomi (Diva's Title) - This wasn't bad. There were a couple of neat spots. I kind of expected Naomi to win. Nikki's a good champ though.

[WingedEagle]

Brie is the most annoying manager in quite some time. Don't need her shrieking.

[Coffey]

Naomi's shoes will be all anyone is talking about tomorrow.

[hammerva]

Man I hope they put another match on because 45 minutes of Big Show vs Reigns and Rollins vs Orton sounds horrifying

[Johnny Sorrow]

Big Show putting the table back under the ring is hilarious 😀

Edit: big Show vs weapons rules.

[C.S.]

Why are there drinks under the ring?

[Coffey]

Why are there drinks under the ring?

 

Maybe they're for the ring crew that has to take down & load the truck after the show is over? Since it'd be later in the night after people already left, so they might not be able to get catering drinks anymore.

[Parties]

This is shaping up to be one of Big Show's best ECW title defenses.

[The Chief]

Big Show plunder matches are always fun. And holy shit I can't believe Reigns took that bump.

Maybe, but those drinks would be room temperature...yuck. Surely someone can set up a mini-fridge for the poor ring crew?

[hammerva]

Plus I am sure that the announcers ask for a drink every now and then

 

It really feels like they are doing the never give up keep fighting Daniel Bryan strategy with Roman Reigns which wouldn't be bad if Roman wasn't twice as big as Bryan

 

So did someone actually write that big Show needs to lose weight on a note pad on the announce table

[Johnny Sorrow]

That fucking ruled.

[Coffey]

Best Big Show match in awhile. Ain't that the same finish for when ADR beat him in a LMS match on Smackdown?

 

That was MotN imo. Who woulda thought?

[goodhelmet]

If Cena-Rusev was hurt by the gimmick, this match was really helped by the gimmick.

[C.S.]

Great match (surprisingly), but kind of a dumb finish. Still, it's a "moment" they can replay over and over and will look good in still pics on WWE.com, so I understand it.

[Exposer]

Reigns-Show - (LMS Match) - This was long. It was pretty fun in places though. The wild spearing was great. I think the match should have ended on the last spear. The announce table was falling off of Show and the hollow part was visible. Pretty hokey.

[The Chief]

Not much of a backlash towards Reigns at all. And that was the most Shield-like Reigns has looked since they broke up.
