Looks like a good card. Extreme Rules usually is a pretty good PPV. Jericho vs Punk will be very good no doubt. Not sure how good Lesnar vs Cena will be, but we'll see. Sheamus vs Bryan will be good, I hope 

Don't think it will be as good as last years, but still should be good.

Think the most interesting thing is who goes over in the Main Event.

It is Lesnar's first match back so he should win, but he is against Super Cena.  Still got to go with Lesnar though as Cena's struggles, post-Mania continue.

I think the other matches struggle from being mostly predictable.  I think Punk, Sheamus and Orton wins are a given.

Rhodes vs Show is slightly trickier, I know he has only had the belt a month (well less time than that), but I see Rhodes getting it back, I think he lost it just to give Big Show a Wrestlemania moment.

I think Jericho or Bryan will win. I see one new champion.


I see Rhodes getting it back too. I think IC belt was for Rhodes anyway. I don't think WWE plans on keeping that design for anyone but Rhodes.

Dang.. i am actually going to order back to back PPV's??

I am trying to talk myself out of ordering this and just torrenting it..... but the more I look at this card etc... I feel like i have to.

Ordered PPV.

ORton vs Kane opener. Great match so far. very entertaining.

[Hammy]

Cracking PPV.  Orton vs Kane was a good opener.  Despite not enjoying their feud (promos, segments etc)  The 2 PPVs matches have exceeded my expectations.

Ziggler then made Clay look great.  Ziggler seems to be stuck in midcard limbo, despite working like crazy, maybe the guy just sells to well.  He made that headbutt of Clay's look out of this world, best bump machine in the company #pushziggler

A smart way to get Rhodes his belt back, save face for Big Show and get a pop out of the fans by delivering the expected bumps post match.  That second bump through a table looked nasty.  Big Show's face when he stood on the table was priceless.

Sheamus and Bryan had the match they should of had at Wrestlemania.  Overall some very good nearfalls and drama.  Only complaint was Bryan getting DQ'd, he could have stopped before the ref got to 5, then started again, stopped and so on, like guys often do, I mean he could have done that damage, sans getting DQ'd to do it, if he'd of hit Sheamus arm with a chair, that would have made sense.  Also the ending seemed kind of anti-climatic.

Ryback = Goldberg = Terminator = I find him entertaining but he doesn't seem in the least bit over, which is a shame, really liking the backstage onlooking gimmick thing they have going on.  He's squashed enough no names now.  He could go through no mark roster members next.  I'm sure my personal favourite Heath Slater is ready and waiting

Punk vs Jericho was another great match, better than their 'Mania battle.  I really thought Jericho had it when Jericho hit the codebreaker onto the steel chair, until Booker told me that's it, new champion, then I kind of guessed not.  So many nearfalls and great spots in this one, definately my favourite match of the night.

New Divas Champ....who cares?  I honestly thought it was McCool at first, always associate her with that music

You'd struggle to find a better way of Lesnar losing and still looking strong, but it still annoyed me, he should have won.  That aside though, it was a cracking battle, although the blood stoppages, cut checking still gets on my nerves after years of them just not bothering.

Overall top show!

amazing PPV

i thought it was better than WM.

outside Diva shitfest, not a bad match on the card.

Know it was a while ago, but I definitely liked this show. Punk/Jericho, Sheamus/Bryan (obviously) and Orton/Kane were better than the WM matches IMO, and Brock losing to Cena did't bother me too much TBH. Was an interesting and different match for current WWE, and the blood added something to it. The stopping of proceedings to patch Cena up though killed it somewhat. Just letting the blood flow would have benefitted both guys. Oh well...

The feud with Jericho helped make Punk into a more sympathetic character I thought; it was good to see a different side to him, and one you wanted to cheer for. Looking forward to his match with D-Bryan now.
