Undefeated Steak Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 Looks like another good but totally missable PPV.
The Gaffer Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 Looks like another good but totally missable PPV. Pretty much. Didn't even realise it was this Sunday until watching Raw last night. Another set of solid matches and minimal storyline development. That's not entirely sour grapes though. I'll be watching and I'll most probably enjoy all of it. I'd quite like Vaudevillains and Rusev to win the belts as both have been consistently great. Add to that Miz and Charlotte retaining for similar reasons. Lets have some faces chasing heels for the summer for these belts. The card seems pretty shiny even by WWE standards for an Extreme Rules, doesn't it? It seems a gimmick short but I can't tell what because nothing else seems to fit. The asylum match (not the first ever Cole, Mayhem 2000 for $9.99 on the Network!) is goofy as sin.
The Dart Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 Another gimmick match is added to the show on Smackdown.
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted May 18, 2016 Paid Members Posted May 18, 2016 Reigns v Styles will be excellent. I have no doubts about that. Rusev is maybe the best pure heel they have not named Stephanie McMahon and my wee cousins favourite wrestler is Kalisto, so I'm well into the US title match. I think it will be a good show. They've done a solid job with the main event story, but hopefully we get AJ finally turning. Shame Styles will lose three PPVs in a row though. Makes him look like a right loser.
The Clint Posted May 21, 2016 Author Posted May 21, 2016 I think Rusev will regain the US title as it's looking set up for Cena's return. I'm expecting another short Cena/Rusev fued between now and SummerSlam.
d-d-d-dAz Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 I'll be amazed if Cena isn't shot back into the main event on his return. I can't imagine they'll let him piss about in the mid-card again.
King Pitcos Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 Cena vs Reigns is a WrestleMania match, not an In Your House match. They'd be fools to hotshot it.
Undefeated Steak Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 A Cena vs Nakamura feud followed by a Cena vs Reigns match at Wrestlemania would do me fine.
d-d-d-dAz Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 I've always been fairly sure they'd start the Reigns/Cena feud in time for Summerlam. It seems the only viable main event they have.
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted May 21, 2016 Paid Members Posted May 21, 2016 Rollins or Lesnar could do the job. I imagine they've kept Lesnar so strong post-Reigns is because Reigns will be the first to beat him clean in years.
The Clint Posted May 22, 2016 Author Posted May 22, 2016 Just thinking about the card it's very light on gimmick matches this year.
Paid Members Murtz Posted May 22, 2016 Paid Members Posted May 22, 2016 I'm enjoying the Vaudevillians so much more than I thought I would on the main roster. Hope they win. Sick or New Day now.
King Pitcos Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 Just thinking about the card it's very light on gimmick matches this year. It has six at the moment I think, which is more than the last two years and the same amount as 2012 and 2013. 2011 was the last year that every match on the card had a gimmick.
