I hate the material of WWE shirts. Too heavy and uncomfortable. But I'm really tempted by Seths new shirt. That or the one he was wearing before the injury might be my first WWE shirts in a long time.
So glad to see Seth back. I only hope they don't go right to Rollins/Reigns at MITB, cause if you thought tonight was bad. I hope tomorrow we see Stephanie or Shane say if he wants a title shot, he has to work his way back up and earn it. Put him in the MITB match and have him win that. Don't know who that leaves Reigns with for MITB. Only feasible way is to make it in a cage or something with the Usos and Anderson/Gallows banned.

Just to add, Mick Foley/Chris Benoit/Eddie Guerrero/Kurt Angle would not have shone in the current creative environment. Chris Jericho wouldn't and, if we're honest, doesn't. He goes stale fast (even though he's incredibly talented and, as an individual performer, makes the most of every single feud they give him). Why? Because WWE can't correctly book their second tier of stars in order to manage and ensure their longevity. More often than not, Mick Foley lost on PPV. But yet, he main evented or co-main evented Attitude era PPV's semi-regularly and had a consistent investment from the audience. And the reason for that - on 3 occasions he did take the title from the biggest stars including the Triple Threat with Austin/HHH. That's the equivalent of AJ Styles winning against Cena and Reigns in a Triple Threat in the modern day. Would that ever happen? No. More variety needed in their booking, I think. Going by todays booking, The Attitude Era wouldve been Austin in Reigns spot being forced down our throats and Rock, HHH, Foley and Angle wouldve been Today's Ambrose, Kevin Owens, AJ Styles, and Seth Rollins getting 50/50 booking, unable to reach that top level because they cant hang with "the guy". You would think a guy like HHH would understand that he wouldnt be jackcraptoday if this same crap booking was done in the 90s.

My scores for the matches...i predicted all of them correct except the divas match...which i dont care about
Baron corbin vs Ziggler 2/5 very boring match...ziggler carried corbin the whole time...he need to be back in nxt
the club vs the usos 3/5 seems like the only thing the usos can do is superkicks...which makes them not super since they are done all the time.
rusev vs kalisto 3/5 short match, however rusev should have ended it quicker, the CC was awesome at the end
New Day vs Vaudevillians 3/5 same match weve seen every week
miz vs cesaro, vs zayn, vs owens 4/5 started great, got boring, ended great...lots of near falls
dean ambrose vs jericho 1/5 awful match, this was such a TNA match. The crowd was bored.
Charlotte vs natalya N/A piss break time
roman Reigns vs Aj Styles 2/5 Aj carried the match, roman took very few bumps, reigns completed his reincarnation of the second coming of the mega super cena

Its pretty obvious to me that Cena's beating Rusev on Memorial Day for the stars and stripes

You would think a guy like HHH would understand that he wouldnt be jackcrap today if this same crap booking was done in the 90s. I'm pretty sure HHH understands that perfectly. The problem is that Vince doesn't and he continues to give us Reigns who clearly cannot win over the crowd. I have a lot of faith in HHH when he finally controls this company

Cena gave the work ethic. He'll always be respected and appreciated for the fact that he was a work horse despite his character being stale. Reigns on the other hand can't take the bumps and doesn't have the stamina for much (i.e. Royal Rumble)

Solid show. The Miz retaining the Intercontinental Championship after that five star match was a buzzkill, and Roman Reigns kicking out of a million finishers was bullshit.

The fatal four was awesome and I think helped legitimize Miz.... He held his own w those greats. I even dug that he won because it was all so we'll done.
I also really thought the main event was a great match, but obviously the superman style booking just did nothing but add to the fans dislike of Reigns. They really need to loosen the grip on that, I don't know what it'll take for Vince to get that.
Rollins returns, fn amazing

God damn, that has to be one of the best PPV in years. A quick observation. Who was that gimp next to Noelle wearing the clown facepaint? Between that and bowing to her. What an absolute virgin he was.
The Fatal Four Way delivered as everyone expected. Regardless of who won, all four competitors showed why they deserved to be champion. Even Miz, who is having one of his best years of his career.
I liked that Jericho and Ambrose got a good amount of time. Some say it dragged on a bit but I never got that impression. The finish was brutal. I was expecting Dean to land in the tacks since he had his tank top to (kind of) protect him. Credit to Jericho for landing in them though. His reaction to Dean laying the tacks on the mat was priceless.
The main event was much better than their Payback match. Styles was crazy taking some of those bumps, especially both announce table spots. The finish was a tad predicable. I would have rather Roman hit the mid air spear then fall down and not be able to pin him then give him a Superman Punch before getting the win. The crowd didn't react to the win at all. You'd hear more of a reaction inside a morgue, which is a sign that the Roman experiment isn't working as they expected. Nice to see Seth back too.
I'd give Extreme Rules an 8/10.

I would have liked to see the cage match get a bit less time since it dragged on a bit, and give that time to the ME to see Styles get some offense... besides the 2 Clashes he didn't really hit any big moves. But nonetheless, SETH ING METAL !

I feel like when I watch now I'm lucky to see 2/10 finishes go the way I want them to or even the way I think they should go. There is so much talent on this roster, and it's just stuck on a seemingly endless loop where nobody is elevated.

So... Ambrose/Jericho was just... "To Little To Late" & "Meh" in my opinion.
The fact that Nattie gets screwed 4 times in a row for no reason just pisses me off
Reigns no sold everything from Styles once again.
But at least "THE MAN" Seth FREAKING Rollins is back.(even thought he most likely will lay down for Samoan Cena)

The womens and the asylum match were a bore. The asylum match had a hot finish though.
Excellent fatal four way and main event. Just excellent stuff on both matches.
I marked out for Seth's return!

Okay can we all agree that the IC title match had the best opening and the Asylum match had the best finish?
Rollins coming out after the main event doesn't count because it was after the bell rang.
