am i the only one totally underwhelmed by that card?

even in a cage match im not lookin forward to seeing batista.
the ecw title match will be slowed down as a result of dreamer
cena big slow in a submission match?! zzzzzzzZZZ
hog-pin match?! gimme a break

all im hoping for is that the other 2 can somehow save this show! and they add some sort of new match(s)

Rjd2

Umanga vs Punk in a Samoan Strap match was announced last week which should be decent. The other two Smackdown matches will be good, but the 3 Raw matches especially the Santino one will be horrid.

Predictions.......

Orton ....poor match i think flair will cost batista title
Edge.....match of the card?? but wont live up to expectations
Swagger....dreamer are you kidding me???
Jericho.....match of the card?? could top edge vs hardy
Cena....S L O W match, the kids will love it...again
Viki....oh god are they for real:eek:
Umaga.... dont no bout this one...

The card doesn't look that great tbh.Edge vs Hardy could be good, i'd say Matt will cost Jeff the title again. Jericho vs Rey could also be good.Hopefully Jericho does to Rey what he done to Michaels:p.Cena vs Show in a submission match=boring.Vickie vs Santina is just stupid tbh.Randy vs batista imo will be a slow match with Orton retaining the gold.Umanga vs Punk could also be a good match but im not really expecting much tbh, i'd say Punk will get the win.Triple threat for the ECW title, i don't really know about this because of the fact that Dreamer is in it, Dreamer oblivously wont win the title but Swagger could pin him.Overall the ppv doesn't look that great tbh, i'd say there will be one or two good/decent matches but thats it.I honestly don't think i will be watching this.

So it's the exact same card as Judgment Day, except the two guys from the best match from it replaced by Vickie and Santina and the second best getting Tommy Dreamer involved? Sounds like a winner to me :rolleyes:

Nody

Boring card, one or two I'd actually consider watching in anything but fast forward.

Also what's up with the picture of Rey? He's looking like Kane when he walked in to the women's locker room the first time.

Oh and I agree on Matt stoping his brother from the title but I'd not be suprised if Punk will use the MITB this time around (any of the titles).

Har, if you think i'm staying up until stupid o clock to watch that nut filled turd of a card, forget it.

DM_7

I think WWE have done a much better job building up to this PPV.

Really enjoyed the build up to the smackdown PPV matches. Hardy v Edge, Umaga v Punk and Rey v Jericho.

Adding a reinvigorated Dreamer to the ECW match gives the swagger v Christian feud a new dimension.

I am even interested in the Orton v Batista match. WWE have done well to set up this clash. I would of preferred Orton v Cena but that is coming around again soon enough.

Only matches i'm not into is Show Cena and the hog pen match. But they will appeal to kids and so I won't complain.

Workrate wise alone I'd have to disagree and say there are several matches on there worth a look.

Yet you don't specify which ones. Hrm :rolleyes:

Otis Driftwood

The only match on that card that I would have even the faintest interest in as regards it should be entertaining is Edge V Hardy.

Apart from that,its a crap fest.

Big Show in a submission match,Mysterio in a no holds barred?

Gimme a break.

hyn-zie

could this ppv be the return of hunter? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? hbk?? after flair goes heel???

Is this card not just Judgement Day plus stipulations and Tommy Dreamer (I'm discounting the non-extreme four way and hog pen match)?

Dreamer Interview: http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/2009/06/05/9691536.html

History hasn't always been kind to the brave-hearted. General George S. Custer. Boromir, son of Denethor II. Otis, Baby, and Captain Spaulding. All of them took a final stand, and none of them were successful in their attempts. Tommy Dreamer is on the verge of his own final stand at this Sunday's WWE Extreme Rules, and he's hoping to buck the trend.

At the pay-per-view, which is comprised entirely of gimmick matches, Dreamer will compete in a triple threat match for the ECW Championship against Jack Swagger and current champion Christian. Dreamer's contract with the company has expired -- he's signed a one-day extension to compete at the show -- and he has vowed that if he doesn't win the title, he will not resign. SLAM! Wrestling had a chance to talk with the hardcore icon just days before his potential final match.

"I wanted to prove that I've still got it," Dreamer said about his motivation behind the self-imposed stipulation. "I love ECW, I love WWE, and I want to keep on doing what I'm doing. But I don't want to be one of those guys who just hangs around. I've been champion before, and I want to prove that I can be champion again."

He compared his thinking to that of NFL quarterback Brett Favre who, in 2008, asked for his release from the Green Bay Packers rather than return as a backup. "He said that he still loved the game, and that (the decision) wasn't about money," Dreamer said. "He just wanted to prove that he could still do it." About the fact that Favre fizzled with the Jets after obtaining his release, Dreamer noted wryly, "I hope that isn't the case with me."

Of course, there are other factors that will affect Dreamer's destiny, namely his opponents Swagger and Christian, who has lost his last name Cage. Naming them as two opponents he loves to wrestle, Dreamer has nothing but praise about both men.

"I've been friends with Christian since I started in WWE in 2001. I think he's one of the most underrated, greatest performers that WWE will ever have. Being in the ring with him, (it's) being there with a friend, having a great time, having a great match. He's great."

"Jack Swagger has an amazing future ahead of him," predicted Dreamer. "He's a legit All-American in amateur wrestling. He's got height, a good body, and, "he joked, "somewhat good looks. The door is wide open for him. He could potentially be a main-eventer at Wrestlemania someday."

The chance to compete against up-and-coming young lions like Swagger is a big reason that Dreamer is happy to be on the ECW brand. Since its inception, it has been the place where many a young superstar have cut their TV teeth. While some fans may dismiss it as the minor leagues, Dreamer doesn't see the focus on young talent as a negative.

"It actually reminds me somewhat of the original ECW in that it's a great place for guys to break their ground in wrestling. That's what the original ECW was -- guys wrestled for us and then they moved on to other things. You look at the people who came up (in WWE) after their time in the new ECW. Guys like CM Punk, Kofi Kingston, John Morrison, The Miz. There's a lot of guys whose careers got started or got kickstarted in this ECW. I'm happy to have the opportunity to work with Swagger and be the guy who he starts out with. I'm happy to be able to give back to the business that way."

That kind of attitude and respect for the business has personified Dreamer's career, both in the original ECW and in the current incarnation. It's an attitude and a work ethic that can't help but come out in his persona, and something that, over the years, fans have come to appreciate.

"I think the fans see that I've never forgotten where I came from," he surmised. "This is something I've wanted to do for my whole life, ever since I was nine years old. You see some athletes in basketball and baseball who hold out for more money or complain about this or that. They forget that we get paid to do something we love."

"I think about back in the day when I was offered crazy amounts of money to leave ECW and go to WCW. Even though, financially I wasn't (making as much) in ECW, I didn't go. (Because) I was never a fan of their product -- I'd watch Nitro but I didn't like what I saw. And they just wanted to take me away for the sake of hurting ECW. I think the fans can see that (I would not do that), and they appreciate that. It's actually a mutual respect," he stressed. "The fans always know that I'm a man of my word -- going back to the old ECW where we never lied to our audience. I'm not lying to them (about this being potentially his last match) now, either.

Indeed, Dreamer clarified that his situation on Sunday is not like most wrestling retirement angles, that are quickly forgotten about. "I guess if I was like my mentor Terry Funk, I would have retired a million times," he joked. "But this isn't an angle for me, this is the real deal. My contract legitimately was up, and I really signed a one-day extension and that's it. If I lose, then I'm gone. I've read some rumours that said that I would come back as General Manager or that I would move to Raw or Smackdown. But like I said on (the company's website) WWE Universe: No. If I lose, I'm gone. You will not see me on WWE programming again."

And if that is indeed the outcome, the "Innovator of Violence" said he would have no regrets with any aspect of his career, as he's "had a great run." And to that, he credits his fans.

"They've always been there for me," he said gratefully. "We here call the fans the ‘WWE Universe' ... but I call them my family."

He comes off as a really nice guy.

Well if you're gonna throw down, then be prepared to back your words up. After all, it is a discussion forum.

So we're 1 for 1, but again, it wouldn't be worth staying up til stupid o clock in the morning for it in my honest opinion.

CM Punk vs. Umaga
(Samoan Strap Match)

For workrate? You're 1 for 2 in my book there i'm afraid. A fat Samoan against WWE's biggest choker. And of all the stipulations they had, a strap match? I've never been entertained by a strap match in my life, but that's just me.

(ECW Title)
- Swagger vs. Christian (c) vs. Dreamer

Take Hazbeen Dreamer out of the equation and you'd have been 2 for 3. Sadly he doesn't belong in there and ruins what could have been a great match. 1 for 3 still as far as I'm concerned.

No Holds Barred
-Chris Jericho vs. Rey Mysterio

1996 called, they want their talent back. Both are shells of their former selves. I'll probably get hung by my balls for that statement by Mr Minto alone, but Jericho really doesn't interest me as much as he used to. Also these two should have a stipulation of NO STIPULATIONS. As neither of them need it. But that ain't gonna happen. 1 for 4.

United States Champion Kofi Kingston vs. MVP vs. William Regal vs. Matt Hardy (Fatal Four Way Match)

MVP and Hardy in another f*cking match involving the US title? Wow, it must be 2007 all over again! Great Scott Marty! We have to get this thing up to 88mph! And people wonder why I stopped bothering. I don't rate four way matches.

All of these matches interest me from a pure workrate point of view.

Well it's horses for courses. This wasn't intended to rip apart your opinion, merely sharing my thoughts was all. But most of this was pretty much shown about three weeks ago, i'm not interested in it again just for a few weapons and whatnot.

Both the speed at which you replied and the predictable opinion therein validates my original lack of elaboration.:D

pingu_girl

Haven't seen any WWE in weeks but definitely going to watch this tomorrow night looks like a good card despite unattractive weekly's atm cant wait to see Jericho bate the poo out of Rey.

Is a Samoan Strap Match any relation to a Caribbean Strap Match?

Austin Vs Savio Vega had some classic Caribbean Strap Matches, always loved a good Caribbean Strap match, time will tell on the Samoan strap match though. :pac:

OrtonViper

If the headline in the paper tomorrow is "Man commits suicide after John Cena make Big Show submit after twisting his big toe" you'll now it's me.

amacachi

Anyone up for this?

Bounty Hunter

I am

new IC champ Chris Jericho!

Rjd2

Rey loses the belt, Orestes will be very angry;)

Bounty Hunter

btw anyone who missed the start or just wants spoilers Kofi retained the US title as expected also.

Bounty Hunter

on paper this is a poor PPV, infact its just a repeat of a poor ppv in many ways but i do think the extrem rules might make some of the matches.

Punk wins.

so far im 3 for 3 with predictions, the SD or ECW title matches will mess me up for them though

RebelRockChick

Haven't watched SD in ages and haven't bothered with watching all of Raw lately, but decided to stay up and watch this for a while.

Can't see Dreamer winning this, but as has already been said, I wouldn't mind seeing him as GM...or well, anyone, just replace Tiffany!

RebelRockChick

And Dreamer wins....I'm surprised

Bounty Hunter

wow im 4 for 4 as Dreamer wins the title!

despite predicting it i really thoughtd be wrong and christian would retain, go on Tommy the guy deserves more than a day as ECW champ even if it aint the same ECW

orestes

Dreamer wins, no surprise there given the build up to the match

Indeed!

Even worse, a hog pen match...I pity the piglets having to witness this travesty up close :eek:

Someone called "Guerrero" in a pit with pigs? Sounds like a not-that-old news story could be about to make a resurgence.

This kind of stuff makes me ashamed to be a wrestling fan.

I actually never thought i'd see the day where I'd be watching a Sting/Luger vs Nasty Boys match and think that i'm not the one coming out of the worst end of it, until i read the spoilers of this PPV, lol.

amacachi

For now I'm glad that I can't go to the sitting room to watch it or find a decent stream tbh.

Bounty Hunter

what are the odds Flair gets involved again, There is far more of him in the promo for this match than Batista.

edit: did Hornswoggle just touch vickies boob

orestes

The video pack and intros for this match are gonna be longer than the bloody match itself at this rate!

And ffs, the champion should NEVER enter first! Happened at the last ppv, happened twice already tonight that I know of (christian and orton, missed the first hour), it's basic frigging stuff folks!

amacachi

What happened with Santina and Vicky?

Bounty Hunter

god i hate the whole escaping through the cage door rubbish.

Bounty Hunter

amacachi wrote: »

Santina won, the fans lost

Oh Jesus Big Dave is the champ again.:(

amacachi

Wish I'd gotten smoke in my eye during the Orton Batista match. Gonna have to start watchin SD.

orestes

Oh ffs, Batista back as champ, and dedicating it to Flair (I called that swerve a month ago and I still reckon it's gonna happen down the line btw). Orton and Legacy made to look useless in the last couple of months and this is the icing on the cake

Cena to win this with the STFU, especially after them commentary team making such a big deal of him not being able to lock it in at Judgement Day. Impossible?! Can't be done?! SuperCena can do ANYTHING dammit!!!!111eleventyone1!!!!

amacachi wrote: »

Do you really care?

Bounty Hunter

WTF!!!

why the hell are the WWE treating Orton like this they have completley ruined what could have been for Oton in the last few months.

HHH winning at mania when he could have put Orton over big-time
Only letting him win the belt in a six man tag match
then having him get disqualified to keep his belt at Judgemet day befor Flair took out im and legacy
and now tohave him loe to Batista clean in a short match that isn even the 2nd main event.

they gave him the ball but why the hell did they not let hm run with it, hes been their top guy for months on Raw yet they continue to **** all over him.

Well it's that or a bearhug from the show. :P The commentators still going on about it, maybe Cena's learned some new moves that WILL work on the big show!

And meh, I care as much about Santina as I do about big Dave.
