WWE Extreme Rules 2018 (Spoilers)

Lord TSC

Just announced on Twitter

Seth Rollins vs Adolph Ziegler, for the IC Title, in a 30 minutes Iron Man match.

PTH2009

Wrong year in the title but doesn't really matter as this is another meh PPV

Lord TSC

Jesus, between the wrong Year and the double post, I'm on fire tonight....

CastorTroy

And is Adolph Ziegler a reference I'm not getting?

JP Liz V1

No Lesnar title match?

CastorTroy

You'll be asking that another couple PPVs at least.
He wrestles in Saudi Arabia but not in the US.


Are any of the matches even rumoured to be extreme in any way. Outside of the women's Raw match?
For a PPV that has the advert saying "No Rules", I'm not seeing much truth to the statement

Sanity vs New Day in a Tables match on the preshow.

So we have 7 title matches and a cage match yet Roman/Lashley is main eventing? Guess they realise some people have to get up early on Monday

J. Marston

Not one single match holds any interest for me. AJ/Rusev might be good but it's such an obvious outcome that it isn't worth watching.

PTH2009

This is one of the most meh PPVS In a while

I'll prob still stay up and watch it cause I have the day off work Monday and not leaving for the Tivoli til later in the day

I've not finished watching the last takeover or the UK tournament yet, but i'll probably still watch it on sunday. I mean I've be rewatching the DDP vs Macho Man feud from 1997 WCW and christ it's superb stuff. Nitro was some show in 1997.

PTH2009

Cant hide the excitement here about tonight's PPV

Hoping for a shock Rusev win but can't see it happening. The Big dog will prob reign over lashley (pardon the pun). Either Kane will turn on Bryan or they will win the tag titles

CastorTroy

I'm thinking I'll get through it quick enough tomorrow.

Agent Coulson

Is this tonight?


Damm I really am out of the loop with the product these days.

Yup tonight. Preshow is just about to start at 11 and main show at midnight. Not a great lineup

Necro

Finished work at 12, rush home - grab takeaway en route and watch the show live from 1am is my plan. Hopefully I don't miss Team Hell No but if so I'll just watch from start of main show.

PTH2009

Damn it thought it was pre show starting at midnight and main show 1am

Feck it ill start watching at midnight

Itssoeasy

I had planned on staying up for this but my family birthday went on a bit last night/this morning and if I'm being honest I'm shattered. I'll be using my day off tomorrow to catch up on sleep I didn't get this weekend.

PTH2009

Brother vs brother but were not suppose to realize

seandotcomm

haha, delighted

PTH2009

Nooo this will start the Bray Wyatt vs Woken Matt feud yet again

PTH2009

Could Corbin not wear in ring gear

So if Brock doesn't show up tomorrow on Raw than he's stripped of the title. Only going one way he shows up and is challenged by the big dog

PTH2009

Kane rolling around in pain

Some demon monster he is

martyos121

Shinsuke ya little devil. Could’ve used VAR there. :pac:

martyos121

We haven’t seen Randy in two months, according to Tom Phillips.

I honestly hadn’t noticed he was gone tbh.

PTH2009

Poor Jeff getting low blows from everyone

I imagine Orton is showing Nakamura that he can be sneaky and give low blows too

seandotcomm

that... was class

PTH2009

KO is insane

Necro

God just give Braun the title now.

Big Dog ala Batista to beat up Brock tomorrow night, Lesnar badly hurt...


BRAAAAAAUUUUUNNNNN!

Done deal.

Madness from Owens, that was a serious fall! Looked awesome, but the guy must be insane. Hopefully WWE give him sustained push for sacrificing himself to make Braun look awesome

PTH2009

Surly there not going to have the hulkster replace Kane here ?

martyos121

Reigns vs. Lashley isn’t main eventing after all it seems, that’s a welcome surprise.

Necro

No Big Dog main event? Colour me surprised.

This might... MIGHT actually be ok now it's not main eventing tbh.

Until you realise Bliss vs. Jax is the actual main event because Ronda. Would they go there? I think they might.

PTH2009

Cant stay awake I'll watch the rest in the morning

seandotcomm

Crowd definately being muted for Reign's entrance there

nazmoalex

Wah? Wow!

Rjd2

Natalya screws Nia here I assume.

SlickRic

Lashley wins. Who cares? The crowd were so meh. And why did it not go on last? Because Roman was losing. Shock, horror.

The B Team win. Who really cares? They're entertaining, but it's meaningless. And now we're going to have to put up with Bray v Matt. Christ, just end this nonsense of having them around each other. it's so fúcking hokey.

Fair play KO. talk about sacrifice for the sake of getting someone over. Braun looked badass. it could be the key to rehabbing Braun's aura, which has taken a hit recently.

Alexa wins. Who cares? it's boring now. and it was shít because Nia is shít. Ronda being associated with that garbage is of no benefit to anyone.

Carmella wins again. Fúck off. Asuka being destroyed for no good reason. and a babyface looking like a complete fúcking idiot for forgetting about the opponent and losing. Why would I want to cheer an idiot?

Nakamura wins. I didn't like it. Jeff, a babyface, looking like a tool turning his back on a known low blow merchant. Fúcking moron. Why would I want to cheer an idiot?

Bludgeon Brothers beat Hell No. WWE booking in 2018 is so fúcking stupid it makes the eyes water and the ears bleed. Bryan is being buried in front of our eyes. Someone who should've been the hottest thing in the company has been routinely beaten. Why? Because they think it's what got him over in the first place.

AJ wins. It was fine. A routine title defence. it's a testament to AJ and Rusev that they got anything out of the crowd after the amount of shít they got served before it. it did Rusev no harm at all. it'll mean nothing trough as he no doubt journeys on back down the midcard.

This fúcking company.

decent PPV but nothing that goes down in the ages

Reigns will still end up being involved in the Universal title picture still and at SS will prob end up being a triple threat with Lesner/Lashley and Reigns with maybe a Braun cash in at the end

you forgot Orton returned too and is now doing sneaky low blows to taunt Nakamura. Poor Jeff is being made a tool of. Opponents of Nakamura know hes going to give low blows WEAR A DAMN CUP

What now for Woken Matt/Wyatt ???. Hopefully not a rilvary between the 2 yet again

I wonder will we see AOP going after the B team now for the titles ???

this is the thing.

our standards for a 'decent PPV' have gone down the tubes, and I include myself in that.

if i get decent wrestling, i usually end up going - 'that was fine'.

but in reality, the vast majority of it is actually quite bad, because everything is meaningless. wins don't matter. so many stories are hokey and insulting to our intelligence.

i just want my wrestling to mean something every so often.

Lord TSC

Never seen a crowd react that way to an Iron Man match before. I know I should feel bad for the duo involved but thought it was hilarious, especially when the clock vanished. Could easily visualise Vince going nuts backstage.

I'm hoping we might get some Deletion between Matt/Bray/B-Team. Pleased for the two lads though; both have been stalwarts for so long, and I think they deserve some sort of short title run.

Necro

Heh, I'm actually fine with Hell No losing in the way they did tbh. I don't see it as Bryan being buried - I see it as putting over the Bludgeon Brothers as a formidable team, something lacking in this day age re: Tag Teams.

I see a rematch at Summerslam (I know people want AJ/Bryan, but I don't think it happens yet), with Team Hell No going over. Reasonable cause for a rematch and I thought Bryan looked pretty strong even in defeat.

Braun/KO ending definitely the standout though. Just put the title on him now and Lesnar can fcuk off to UFC.

Rock Lesnar

I hated that Nakamura Hardy match, as Ric said above, why would Jeff turn his back on a guy whose been using a low blow most of the year and then they bring Blandy out, and hes a heel again, or was he already a heel before or was he a face, i dont know or care anymore because his mannerisms never change either way.

in a vacuum, yes, I agree with you.

but the booking of Bryan has been ridiculous, and any normal promoter would've tried to capitalise fully on Bryan's return, rather than trying to tell a convoluted story of him slowly coming back from being out.

I was reading quotes from Jeff earlier in the week that he's stopped doing the Swanton at house shows cause his back is in bad shape. At the time, some on Reddit discussed him dropping the belt and then taking a break, to rest up.

Given how the match went, I wouldn't be shocked if he is hurt and couldn't do a proper match, hence the booking.

J. Marston

I really cannot stand Orton. Man hasn't been entertaining in a decade.

He is WWE's "I didn't do it!" kid but with a wrestling move.

"Do the move, Randy!" Now fúck off because you have nothing else even slightly interesting about you.
