Evolution vs The Shield was excellent. One of the best matches of the year. Absolutely brilliant brawl, with the right winners. Seth Rollins just throwing himself about was great. He's always the MVP in these big brawls.

 

The Cena vs Wyatt match was really shite and the kid at the end was as bad as anything the Dungeon of Doom ever did. I dont know why they had to go all Daffy Duck with the Wyatts. They've went from creepy cult family to knocking about with fucking baby Nailz. They cant leave well alone.

 

Hornswoggle vs El Torito was great. Fun match. Bryan vs Kane wasn't up to much, though.

That kid looked so uncomfortable trying to keep eye contact with Cena whilst singing to him. That's the only thing I can take away from Extreme Rules apart from The Shield vs. Evolution being as good as expected.

 

Edit: Forgot about WeeLC! The 2nd best match on the card. They probably should've had Rusev on the pre-show instead.

I absolutely loved the WeeLC match. It was fantastic, I smiled throughout the entire thing (minus the midway adverts). 6 Man was a great brawl, Seth showing everybody up again. He took some some battering. I did not expect a flaming table in 2014 PG WWE but we had it which is fun otherwise i found the main event very meh.

 

Not a amazing show but fun never the less.

Good show. Predictable results, but that doesn't matter if they're the right results, and they pretty much were. Two PPV shows in a row, Hunter, Orton and Batista did everything they could to put the younger talent over INCLUDING taking the defeat. Even Cena lost (tainted as it was). There will be some pretty bitter smarks out there that are right now really upset that they can't complain about veterans keeping the young guys down. For tonight, anyway.

Kid flubbed his lines a bit and realised, I think that's what threw him.

 

Decent event overall, but it peaked halfway through. Nothing was going to follow that awesome six-man. At least Kane and Bryan had a go with the flaming table spot, it looked crap though. I think their match would've been fine had it been the halfway match and the six-man been the main.

 

Wade Barrett's on his way now, isn't he? People are responding and he looks like he's having fun out there. He could be the bloke to actually reinvigorate the Intercontinental, rather than just reeling off old wrestler names and pretending.

 

WeeLC was great. Hornswoggle is such a fun baddie.

 

Looks like Bryan vs Kane and Cena vs Bray again at Payback?

 

Bryan's talking about kicking people's heads in on the post-show.

Also, I'm hoping Barrett as IC champion doesn't mean his push is over and he's going into 50/50 land.

 

He shouldn't even wrestle on TV, just play with his gavel every week then defend on the PPV and win. None of this "losing non title matches to set up the title shot" bollocks they've been so fond of.

Be fair. They're happy enough to do a "champion wins non title match, loser still gets title shot" setup as long as it fills TV time these days. But absolutely, Barrett should not be wrestling every week... And if they absolutely can't help themselves putting him in a match on every show, he should be winning and talking first.

It's a shame Big Dave is fucking off for a bit now as he was great value tonight. To be honest, he has been since his heel turn. Hopefully he's only gone a month or so and the film flops so he's around forever.

I enjoyed the PPV but i haven't stayed up and watched one live for ages and i had good company which definitely helped.

WeeLC was great, it really should've been on the main card, it could be remembered as a fun gimmick match for years to come. The Shield are always so great, that was one of my favourite matches of the year so far, Seth Rollins' dive made me feel sick. I bet the people who wanted them to break up and have a 3 way at Wrestlemania feel silly, there's loads of mileage in them as a face unit, I think they've been one of the best booked things in wrestling in as long as I can remember.

 

I didn't like the end of the Cena/Wyatt match, I hated the kid with the silly voice, it's everything that's been ruining Bray Wyatt for me recently personified.

 

I didn't know Batista was leaving, that sucks, I've been enjoying having Evolution back.

Finish of Cena and Wyatt was hokey as fuck. Didn't enjoy the way Cena had the match won about 400 times before interference. They'd established Wyatt as a strong heel. He doesn't benefit from being booked like any other chicken shit heel.

 

Strong win for The Shield. Not really sure where they go next. Unless Trips puts together a threesome to counter them.

 

Cena/Wyatts doesn't have legs. Bryan has decisively beaten Kane. Big shift in focus needed I feel or the next four weeks of TV is going to be unbelievably tedious.
