Extreme Rules PPV

[Heeko]

Unless something drastic changes during the last couple matches, I can sum up this ppv in one word.

B-O-R-I-N-G.

I've seen better Raw's than this ppv. Unless your idea of "extreme" is hitting someone with a empty plastic bucket.

I can't believe you fell for it. I knew this PPV would be a waste of time. It's the same recycled bullshit every year, especially with this PPV. It wasn't too extreme before the PG declaration.

Most of their PPV's are a waste of money or just over priced. The only PPV's I'll check for are the new concepts but I doubt I'll buy another PPV this year.

 

[Heeko]

Oh I didn't buy it. I just can't believe I wasted my time watching it. And that ending?? Lamest. Ending. Ever.

The only thing close to a match in this ppv was the Edge/Jericho matchup. That one was imo "ok".

If I did not bother getting a stream for Wrestlemania(yes not even for Shawn taker) I sure as hell was not getting it for a crappy ppv that replaced one of my favorite non big 4 ppvs.

I think this is a perfect example of how wrestling is now over-PPV'ed. When you have three separate "original programmings" going on a week, why would people want to shell out $30-50 for a PPV? They have at least 12 different opportunities a month to watch wrestling for free if they have cable, and most of these shows are putting on "PPV caliber" matches.

That's likely why WWE is trending towards the gimmick Pay Per Views. You might not pay to watch Edge / Jericho in a regular match, but you might pay to watch them in a cage.

I miss the days when there were 4-5 PPV's. Rumble in January, 'Mania in March / April, King of the Ring (personal favorite) in June, Summerslam in late August, and Survivor Series in November. Feuds could be built slowly over time until there was actual reason to watch a culmination, and when a PPV arrived, it was appointment TV.

sometimes i like to watch my ecw tapes and go back to a time when extreme meant something.

Paul Heyman's original ECW.....now that was awesome! Hell, I even miss Joel Gertner.

Except for maybe Wrestlemania, I don't bother with these monthly ppv's anymore. Just glorified versions of RAW and too damn expensive.

The triple threat match on RAW was better alone than this entire ppv. What burzed me the most was the way none of the top talent wanted to "lose". The only one who had the integrity to do it was Randy Orton. And did it make Orton look bad? No. Imo it made a more believable champion out of Swagger and only pushed him further. The real kicker to me was the way the announcers were pushing Cena's tactic to win as "the most intelligent win in a last man standing match ever". Imo it made it one of the worst LMS matches ever.

I support John Cena when it seems cool to boo and turn on him, but even I had to say are f'ning kidding me? So duct taping someone legs together behind a ringpost to make sure they cant answer a ten count?

Extreme Rules is a joke, if you really wanna go that route, have a few more intense matches, like Jakc Swagger vs. Randy Orton in just a "extreme rules" match, but like a three stages of hell match, not just say no rules. While we're on it, why was a Raw superstar challenging for a smackdown title? You knew how that match was going to turn out, Swagger gets the win plain and simple.

Enough WWE arrogance in thinking your fans will buy the PPV because your WWE and really come with it.
