Extreme Rulez results and general chat!

I think Mysterio will be still wrestling with the mask, he covered up his face so nobody saw it really. At first I didn't realise what had happened.

Jeff is probably one of the two most over guys on the roster behind Cena, seeing him reach the top then lose again is killing his fans, they will be wanting to burn Punk today, it does fit in well with Jeff's character but I'd really like to see how he could handle a 3 or 4 month run with the strap, his match quality has been excellent for the last 18 months

Yeah everyone keeps saying Hardy is really good now, but I guess when you've disliked him as long as i have it's kinda difficult to actually see that.

The unmasking did sound well done, I don't have a problem with that. It's more that it would be a bad move if Rey started wrestling without the mask, as that would really hurt him as it's a big part of his character, and also WWE from a merchandising standpoint.

I know what your saying, I just couldn't see him as a serious contender at all, but everyone kept saying it to me and actually watching his matches for a change I couldn't disagree, had to suck it up, now he is someone I actually enjoy watching, well compared to what the so called big names give us week in week out, what I like about him is he never seems to phone it in, give me someone less talented who loves the business and is willing to put on the best show he can rather than someone supremely talented who will only turn up when he feels like it

I also don't think Rey will lose the mask, mainly for the merch, also though, he threw the match so he wouldn't be 'seen' so I'm guessing he wont let anyone else see it when their is nothing at stake

I'd expect Rey to help someone beat Jericho for the strap, possibly Morrison, then Jericho and Rey can have a blow off match where Rey will be unmasked for good if he loses and then he can go over Jericho

I think the only reason for Jeff Hardy winning the world title match is to turn punk heel i can't think of any other reason.

I'm of the same opinion to be honest, although I was thinking it might be a bit of a thank you as well to him if he really is for the off, Vince isn't usually one to work on sentiment though

now at the next ppv it will be a triple threat match Punk vs Edge vs Jeff Hardy let's not forget rematch clauses unless Edge didn't get one and Jeff wasn't allowed because he lost the title (coughbullshitcough) in less than a few minutes.

The biggest problem with the Orton/Batista feud is because ever since 'Mania we've been waiting for that big shock, they should have turned a McMahon at 'Mania and this feud could be shit-hot at the moment.

The way Jeff was falling round the ring after the ladder match leads me to believe that he'll be out "injured" for awhile.

i think that will happen aswell Reaper

am i the only one that can't get the extreme rules theme tune out of my head?

i hope punk turns heel now that he is the champ

Horizon i'm the same with the theme tune great song

Jeff has done his shoulder in, don't know how bad it is, hope this is not his exit from the WWE just yet though, they can use his popularity to really push Punk heel, I think they need another PPV match just 1 on 1

At first i though we were gonna see the first MitB lose, as a way to further hype up Jeff, but from what I am hearing about Umaga, CM Punk needs this cause now he has no one to fued with

I think that feud was finished anyway to be fair

It would like to see Punk vs Hardy at The Bash on paper it seems like it would be a great match.

I think he injured it when the ladder fell into the other, like I said before I think it was bothced and Hardy put the ladder to far away so instead of the ladder taking the impact of the fall they did instead. And while Edge was acting knocked out Hardy's eyes just went open and he held his shoulder, I thought he might be injured.

Nah I don't think it was botched, it was just a big bump, their is never any gaurnantees when doing a big spot, Edge looked like he made to much contact with it, I was thinking this match would probably right Jeff out of SD until he is ready to return, but with how it ended I think he needs to finish what he and Punk started

Hopefully he re-signs and has an extended feud with punk,edge and maybe Christian if he moves to SD ending in a fatal four way match at survivor series although i can't see it happening.

I'd love to see Christian on SD and in the main event scene as soon as Survivor Series, I think the WWE might hold it off a while though, might get him on SD but not sure they will give him that kind of push just yet

with umaga gone: Jericho, edge, hardy and punk (possibly christian) would be such a good mix. All guys the same size, all capable of fan reaction all capable of some hefty big talking point matches.

Can see a fatal four way/fatal four way TLC in the near future. Summerslam needs some hefty matches anyway and the possibilities are endless with 4/5 very good guys.

On the xtreme rulez ppv, it was very good watching just a few bad points for me really.

The cage match, nothing really happened, you could tell batista couldnt do much by the way it was carried out, also don't like how orton spent the match trying to escape then big dave just gets a really easy pin, made both look stupidly weak i though, orton for NO offence and batista because he cant climb the fucking cage and escape lol. and obv exiting the door would have been stupid because it looks ridiculas how they always try to escape hands first, when the rule states feet must touch. fucking baseball slide ffs haha. or slide feet first. makes the wrestlers look like idiots when its always the same.


hog match just took up time, put a freaking tag match on.
or even a competative diva match so we dont have to look at a muddy vicky at mid point in the event lol.

and the submission match, hmm just lots of nothing again really and big show let his foot slip out of the ropes so he had to just leave his leg up, at which point the cameras got a new angle really fast, can hear vince screaming CHANGE THE SHOT in my mind at that point.

I was hoping cena just cracked out an ankle lock or somthing but it never happened, my second choice was use the ropes, but i thought hed put his neck over bottom rope tie up his feet and grab the rope (so he doesnt have to grab under his big fat neck/chin


Main event was good, loved some of the fresh ideas used, alwasy expect some classic spots and the odd new one, and it didnt disapoint, the ending was superb having edge powerless to stop hardy (would have like more facial acting from hardy as a camera wasnt on edge

then the classic MITB moment, making hardy look amazingly strong, yet unlucky. Glad he kicked out of the first GTS made it good for the crowd too, few heart attacks lol.

ive forgotten the rest as i watched it last night, psh.

You could easily add Rey Mysterio to that as well Sexton and The Undertaker when he is back

I think Jeff Hardy proved at Extreme Rulez that he is actually a main event player

I still think having rey work with younger talent in the INT division is what it needs to liven it up. He has already pledged he will be the best intercontinental champ ever and I think he will get it back from jericho fairly soon.

Going to enjoy seeing how he reacts to being un masked (watch him retire) haha

I think Rey is great in the ring though, he can work the undercard but he is also a good if a little bit illogical choice for the main event, he is good when you want to book your champion in a good match

I don't really want him to be the IC champ, with R-Truth, Benjamin, Ziggler and Morrison
