I still don't like Nakamura's new theme as much.
Turning him was so fucking stupid. Top merch seller, super over, one of the absolute best entrances in the biz.
Turns are how character development works today. Sad but true.Quote:

I'm perfectly ok with Ellsworth in a spot like this.
Not incessantly in an angle with Aj Styles
With how many people they have on the roster doing nothing, I don't see the need to bring in someone else for a comedy spot. Have Hawkins take the spot because he's a little worried about his job thanks to losing over 200 matches and signing with Carmella for some security. Same role, bigger name, better talking, one less paycheck.Quote:

It's about time.
Of all the old timey gimmick matches the wwe could suddenly become obsessed with, the fucking shark cage is the goddamn one.
The Vega pairing is so smart. Next to her he looks like a fucking giant
Listen we bought a shark cage so now we're going to use it okay!
Yep. Becca is the same height so it's something that really does work in real life.Quote:

I don't think AJ speaks Spanish. It's out of the question. Now once Almas has the Sin Cara match and gains the power of fluent English, it's a possibility.Quote:

This is probably the least extreme the Extreme Rules PPV has ever been.
Of the 5 matches that have stipulations, 2 are basically regular matches (Iron Man, Shark Cage) and one is on the pre-show.
Well it's not like they have a pay per view to put that title match on.
Well what are you expecting? Effort?Quote:

Kb what city is this in tonight
Or you know....having ppvs with "extreme" stips when they cant get color or really hit each other anymore.

In kayfabe, that’s some pretty awesome timing for the production staff to know when the match is going to grind to a halt so these videos can air.
We're not even nine minutes into this match and we've had two commercials and an inset promo. Good grief this is ridiculous.
You know would have been nice on this episode? Samoa Joe.
No time for him on the pay per view. Which is now 4 hours. And has both shows. Because reasons.Quote:

HOLY SHIT PYRO AT A NON WM SHOW
Hey now. Don't you besmirch the efforts of WWE creative. They just came up with a full Wrestlemania card three and a half months ago. They're not machines.Quote:

Uh, Lio Rush's tattoo down his abs is not straight.
Also, I love that Colin Delaney presently has a steady paycheck.

It’s the other go home show for Extreme Rules and the big match tonight is AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura VI, though in a rare non-title version. You could probably pencil in Rusev for some interference to slow Styles down and give Nakamura some momentum heading into the US Title match. Other than that, normally I would expect a few more gimmicks being added to Sunday’s card but that doesn’t seem to interest them with this year’s Extreme Rules. Let’s get to it.
