Weighing In on Extreme Rules #ExtremeRules

WWE seems lost. It seems that WWE doesn't know what it wants to do in any situation. Every pay-per-view has been disappointing since WrestleMania, and I just don't agree with any of WWE's choices; which I usually do. This pay-per-view like Money in the Bank seems like the WWE was scared to change anything at all. The B-Team's win did a great job to shake the tag-team-division up on Raw and gave us something new that we had not seen before. The Braun Strowman and Kevin Owens' match was amazing. Kevin Owens did a Mick Foley spot! Now, of course, the cell wasn't as high...as it didn't look as high as the 1998 counterpart. If you missed that 1998 Hell in The Cell, check it out...it has it's own Wikipedia Page. Lashley vs. Reigns was a good match, and it was much better than the fans treated it. The fans seemed bored during the match, but I think that is due to the fans assuming that Reigns would win. Since he didn't fans cheered and probably are now regretting not actually enjoying this match. It wasn't bad it as good for the two monsters in the ring...so it wasn't as bad as most anticipated. Alexa Bliss vs. Nia Jax was trash...the only thing that saved it is Ronda Rousey. Alexa was entertaining at first, but the match seemed like Alexa was hitting Nia with pillows it was underprepared for. Not a great match, but Ronda saved it..so it was acceptable. Dolph Ziggler vs. Seth Rollins just made the Intercontinental Championship the most important belt on the roster. They gave everything they had to put the Intercontinental title on the forefront. The storytelling kept me interested the entire match. But, the extra time wasn't really extra time, but the ending was fine. Ziggler keeping the belt was surprising and a good move. We all love Ziggler having his chance...so this was awesome. Overall grade for the pay-per-view is C. It is just an okay pay-per-view. Not really extreme so they should really change the name to "Okay Rules" lmao. But, not shade...the pay per view as fine.

The Undertaker vs. Triple H - WWE Super Show-Down Results and Grades #SSD #WWE

HBK came down to the ring first. The fans clamored to get pictures of HBK...to be honest I would be too. Shawn is still in great shape, now he is the heartbreak grandpa. HHH came out next with a mask on but without the fanfare I expected. He came to the ring pretty fast and it was a pretty basic HHH entrance. He does have new ring gear which is nice. The Melbourne crowd loved HHH. Kane then came to the ring. I love how his name shows up when he walks to the ring it's pretty cool. The Undertaker's entrance of course was epic. All you saw were phones everywhere as fans attempted to snap pictures of the Deadman. The Undertaker looked great in his entrance and brought presence and prestige to the night. (Except for the gray on the sides...Undertaker I never want to see a another gray hair on your head). Fans complain about the older wrestlers taking the spotlight but the Undertaker's presence gives a PPV that extra push that makes it a classic. The match was no disq...

The New Day vs. The Bar - WWE Super Show-Down Results and Grades #SSD #WWE

The show opened up surprisingly with the SmackDown Tag Team Championship title match. This is the second time the SmackDown Tag Team Championship has been the show opener. They were on the pre-show last PPV which technically is a dark match but it was still the first match the fans saw of the night. I am not sure what this means, perhaps the WWE just wants the New Day opening up their PPV's from now on. Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods as a pairing is just amazing. Their intro tag team sequence was absolutely lightening. Both of them are so coordinated and agile. Kofi shows why he is one of the best tag team champions of all time. Really great showing by these two. Sheamus and Cesaro are good but honestly not as good as Kingston and Woods. At least not as a tag team. However, they play to their strengths which is power, heel tactics and viciousness.  Of course, anyone that uses the Sharp Shooter is near and dear to my heart. I am sure that is homage to Cesaro's friend Tyson...

WWE Super Show-Down Predictions #WWE #SuperShowDown

WWE Super Show-Down will take place in Australia this weekend. While many say that it is a glorified house show, I do not think it is. I think the WWE will use this show to lay the groundwork for Evolution, Crown Jewel, and Survivor Series while simultaneously building bigger storylines. For instance, there are rumors of Kurt Angle's return and Asuka and Dean Ambrose's heel turn. Bobby Lashley and John Cena vs. Elias and Kevin Owens This is an easy match to predict. Cena and Lashley will get the win here. This will likely be the show opener so John Cena can give a big speech welcoming the crowd and exciting them for the night's matches. This will be clear-cut and simple. Delighting the Australian fans while also showing Cena's dominance in his return.  Cedric Alexander vs. Buddy Murphy  WWE Cruiserweight Championship  This match is the biggest toss up on the card. While many fans criticize WWE Super Show-Down as a glorified house show; the WWE ...
