so how bad was Extreme Rules?

Lesnar/HHH was slow, plodding, and dull
Cena/Ryback had it's moments, but had a HORRIFIC ending
Orton/Show went on for an eternity
ADR/Swagger match was actually restarted after the ref asked for an instant replay, talk about opening Pandora's Box...
The Shield won belts, that was cool
Henry/Sheamus was pretty awful
Fandango/Jericho, meh, these guys have no chemistry

The show was garbage

I feel like WWE jumped the shark (if that is possible) with the whole instant replay thing. It's ok to have one ref come out and have the original ref make his own judgement call on what the second ref tells him....that's one thing. But to have the second ref go back and watch it to get his call right....yeah, that's not wrasslin.

You also kinda kill a lot of heel tactics when you start doing that kind of thing.

It's the WWE. They'll forget about the instant replay angle by tomorrow night.

I'm incredibly bored by the WWE right now. Don't care...at all. I barely even want to watch the segments involving The Shield or Daniel Bryan anymore. I just...don't care.

I agree its really terrible.

Really just dont understand the point. 2nd ref could have just told him Zeb threw the towel and then proceeded from there. What was the point of creating that dumb precedent?

I'd like to think they intentionally did it that way just so Swagger could complain about getting screwed by something thats probably illegal and not in the Wrestling "rulebook" (or whatever they use) but I seriously doubt the WWE is even that smart.

So, are most of us just burned on the product, or is the WWE just bad and/or boring right now? I'm on the side that thinks it's just bland.

Ha. As if precedents are a thing in wrestling. Knowing the 'E, they'll bring it up a bunch over the next month while referees who should be using instant replay won't actually do it. That'll show us retards in the IWC what bad booking really looks like.

I agree, except I think the Henry/Shemus match was decent.

Hell No/RR-SR >= Kofi-Ambrose > Sheamus/Henry > Stage spot from Ryback/Cena > Heyman > backstage AJ/Kaitlyn (=====QUALITY THRESHOLD: ABANDON ALL HOPE YE WHOSE MATCHES FALL BELOW=====) Ryback/Cena match itself > Orton/Show > Miz/Rhodes > end of Ryback/Cena > Brock/HHH
 
The Instant Replay thing was clearly a jab at the baseball controversy a week or two ago. So yeah, they will likely never use it again.
 
I didn't watch Extreme Rule, can someone please tell me this.

The crowd didn't give Triple H they're sympathy pop/chants right? When he tried to walk away to get sympathy, it didn't work again, right? I hope it didn't work.

What was the end of the Cena/Ryback match?

No contest, there was a spot where Ryback and Cena both ran through the stage lighting and both guys were knocked out. Cena had to be stretchered out and Ryback appeared to have walked off on his own strength or with the help of an official
 
It is amusing that ryback won but they're basically ignoring it. Also instant replay at an EXTREME RULES ppv.

They don't even whip that shit out on normal nights.

I lol'd at all of Dutch's promo. I really thought he was going to bring up Umbrellagate. That would be been amazing. I think he should go less FOX News and more Alex Jones.
