And still yet, the Tag Titles are not defended...


Heck I guess it's on the same level as the Internet Championship....

[Swiss Ultimate]

If this gets the fans behind Cena then it will have been worth it. I still think both of my alternate ideas would have worked to do the same job.

1. Brock injures Cena pre-PPV, wrestles Sheamus in a Tables Match and wins a title on his "redebut". Cena comes back after a month or two off after the crowd hates Lesnar's guts and MAGIC.

2. Cena puts up a great fight, but Lesnar takes advantage of him, just destroys him until EMTs run out and they call it a No Contest even though it's under "Extreme Rules". Cena comes back in a month or two.

I'm guessing their logic is that they needed to make Cena in this match like Austin/Bret.

Not really. At least fans know who has the Internet Championship

[legendkillerRKO]

Brock Lesnar in UFC or WWE is an overrated asshole

[CSL]

they're not trying to make the crowd cheer for Cena, when he comes back (if indeed he is gone) the reaction will be exactly the same once the initial "HOLY SHIT" pop wears off and the muties remember they're "supposed" to be booing him. This is never going to change for the most part, except for when he's working with a world class legit superstar heel ala Brock Lesnar or a Vickie Guerrero-esque heat magnet and even then you'll still find bits

[GD]

I had a great time watching the PPV tonight. The result of the main event could have been better. But then again, Cody Rhodes won the IC strap and Big Show gave that amazing look with all his stretch marks.

[CSL]

[CSL]

you muppet

[Autobahn]

Everyone should go read Triple A's Extreme Rules results:
tpww.net/2012/04/wwe-extreme-rules-results-april-29-2012/

Should do more of these - I like the 'what I'm eating' comments (being serious here)

[St. Jimmy]

Early reports say Cena tore his Bicep.

[Lock Jaw]

If Cena is legit taking some time off, he definitely should have lost here.

If he is sticking around, this was exactly how the play it. Make Brock look a freakin' monster, but give Cena his big win back.

[GSP]

I spy with my little eye something beginning with "Chris Benoi"

My eyesight isn't so good, but is that a picture of that one guy... you know, the one who was an amazing wrestler but never existed?

lol I saw it too!

Wait.... WWE has tag teams?! and a tag team CHAMPIONSHIP?!

[Majunior]

Glad it wasn't just me that caught that.

[GSP]

I seriously can't figure out how Brock didn't die on that over the rope spot

I'm assuming God was watching over him

First thing that popped into my head after saying HOLY SHIT was, Brocks dead for sure. Insane move or insane botch? I don't think he was ment to go flying over the ropes like that.

[Aguakate]

If Cena is legit taking some time off, he definitely should have lost here.

If he is sticking around, this was exactly how the play it. Make Brock look a freakin' monster, but give Cena his big win back.

He's gonna do The Marine 3, chill out.

Great time at B Dubs tonight. Awesome show. Best non-Wrestlemania PPV I've seen in a long time.

[MoFo]

Sick PPV dawgs.

Not better than Mania tho, so chill that noise.

[Rock Bottom]

Brutal fucking match.

Confused by Cena winning. Think he needs to job and go home. But whatever. Nice PPV.

[Rock Bottom]

Guessing it has something to do with Brock tossing Cena around like a jabroni on SmackDown years ago. Cena was a "legit threat" a year later at Backlash. I guess it makes sense.

Either that, or they're just going to try to use Lesnar to breathe life into their main event because he won't be around long.

Not that it really matters much, but we have a weird triangle going on here as well. Brock beats Rock, Rock beats Cena, Cena beats Brock. Paper vs. Rock (whoa! that's fucking crazy, i didn't even mean to do that!!!!!!!!!!!!!) vs. Scissors at WM29 is now possible.

[teamXtremist]

really enjoyed xtreme rules overall good ppv hard to come after mania but xr was nice

sheamus/bryan,punk/jericho and lesnar/cena were all great


all except ryback raping some 13 yearold boy lol

[ZosoMetalManiac]

Overall, I enjoyed this show. Loved how Show/Rhodes ended. Sheamus/Bryan was wonderful. Punk/Jericho had all the elements of a great match. Lesnar/Cena was damn good, even if I was underwhelmed with it a bit.

[#1-norm-fan]

Fucking brilliant PPV. Save HHH vs Taker, this was better than WrestleMania. Just an awesome show start to finish. Especially for a post WM, PPV. Did not see something like that coming.

Cena winning and his promo at the end were awesome. He can go away now and still have that aura of "I lost to Rock... but I happened to beat the legit fighter in a street fight."

The more this Cena stuff is playing out, the more I'm liking what they're doing. As that match went on, it just seemed uncool to boo Cena. Like... he's taking an ass whopping and bleeding like no one has done in years. What exactly are you dipshits booing? They're on the right path to endearing Cena to everyone and I like it.

The match was crazy. And followed two other ridiculously good matches. I really hope they can keep this up and put on stellar PPV cards consistently.

[#1-norm-fan]

Oh yeah, and the Show/Rhodes ending was a PERFECT way to end the feud and give Cody the title back. Show got his WrestleMania moment in winning the title, now Rhodes has regained the title and Show just destroyed him in the process and the feud can end with Show looking badass and Cody being like "He fucked me up, I'm done with this guy". Great booking.

[#1-norm-fan]

Almost forgot... Layla is the best overall diva since Trish and seeing her win the title was awesome.

First match in a year for the company and she performed everything more crisp than any other diva on the roster regularly does.

Jimmy, when did you become such a stereotypical unappeasable shithead smark?

[DaVe]

A few years ago, based on what I've seen.

Anyway, that main event was straight up awesome. Lesnar was an absolute monster, and I was flinching at some of his early shots; especially with Cena busted open immediately. Was shocked Cena won, and I'm not sure what to make of his promo after. Can't wait for tomorrow.

[DaVe]

Oh, and CSL and Majunior, that was your collective response to that photo? Mine was 'hotdamn'.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I oddly loved that match. And before people complain that Cena won, Lesnar looked like an absolute fucking beast.

Cena may have won, but Lesnar may look like the most dangerous man in the company. I mean, for the most part, Brock wasn't trying to win, he was just trying to fuck Cena up. This just gives Brock motivation... A focus for his anger.

Awesome show. Truly amazing matches tonight. Shocked at Cena winning, but Brock looked like a fucking beast and looked like a cocky prick who wouldn't just finish it so he could keep beating him up. Brock is going to be uber-pissed off violent asshole tomorrow night and things will get very interesting. Cena's closing words were very very interesting.

This is exactly right. Brock is going to be pissed he lost to Cena, and he's going to kill some little bitch. My guess is that Zack Ryder is the beloved who gets torn apart. Maybe even Santino Marella, which will take out a champion and could allow a little mid-card story with what they do there.

But yeah, sounds like an amazing PPV. Cena looks fucking good by winning, which is something a win for him has not done in a long time. In some ways, Cena needed to win here, it's just because it was Lesnar that we got fooled. Also, I think there's a least some of it in not letting Brock win his first WWE match because he didn't win his first UFC fight. It's the same reason TNA shouldn't put their World Heavyweight Title on people from the WWE who just waltz into their company. Intriguing decision, and all-round a really solid PPV.

The only thing I would have changed would have been to replace a Ryback squash with an Antonio Cesaro one. Not because I like Cesaro more than Ryback, but because I think it would have suited the PPV more. They could have played it off as Cesaro impressing Laurinaitis on SmackDown! and being given the shot, while the apparently babyface yet child-murdering Ryback continues to work his way up, perhaps making more RAW appearances.

HOLY SHIT at that botch over the top rope from Brock. Could have ended up very badly.

No problem with Cena winning. If he really is gone, Lesnar doesn't lose any steam as he still took "The Face of The WWE" out albeit in a losing effort and let's not forget that Cena used a chain to turn the momentum in his favour.

Biggest shock of the night? That fact that Punk's sister is called Jaylene and his mother Raylisa. How did he end up with "Phil"?

[Supreme Olajuwon]

It's short for Philashio

[GD]

The Divas Championship match was rightfully the main event title match of the night.

This is where I feel they're going.

When he hit puberty.

[CSL]

If they're not trying to get the fans behind him so that everybody buys his merchandise, what are they trying to do???

he already sells more merchandise than anybody and has done for the last god knows how long, they don't need to "fix the boos". The people that are going to be behind him/buy his merch are already doing that in droves. How the Brock/Cena stuff played out is just good booking, if this would have happened 10 years ago, they'd have probably booked Austin exactly the same way in this "scenario".

Okay, I guess the problem I'm having is looking at this in context. The divided crowds led me to believe that Cena's merchandise has been falling.

Then again, nWo merchandise sold through the roof and they divided the crowd all over the fucking place.

[Sepholio]

So I guess the reports going around are that Cena suffered a torn rotator cuff or biceps. Still can't figure if this is legit or a work.

[Dukelorange]

We've heard things on what it really is... Hopefully the streets won't get it twisted and provide some good information...

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Dunno about that, CSL. Zack Ryder seems to be legit pissed at Kane.

[St. Jimmy]

If you don't think the end of this match was Vince McMahon playing the fiddle while WWE burned, you don't understand wrestling.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I dunno about y'all, but I'd rather be entertained and have fun than "understand wrestling" and be a miserable whiny cunt.

[CSL]

because St. Jimmy definitely understands wrestling

[Mr. Pierre]

Fun show, definitely enjoyed it :y:

Kane/Orton - solid match, really liked it. I felt it was risky to start off the show with a match that the audience might have a tough time seeing, but this worked really well. This got a good amount of time, and these two put on a fun show. Not to take anything away from Kane, because I feel he's been putting on good matches lately, but Orton is just the best. The guy doesn't have a bad match. Any wrestler, any style, any match type.

Ziggler/Clay - Would rather not see Ziggler get jobbed out to Clay, but I guess that's what happens when you're an amazing seller like Ziggler. He made that headbutt look like a million bucks. The match did it's job, and I'm sure Ziggler will recover.

Rhodes/Show - Perfect. Everything about this match was spot on. Time, place on the card, booking, etc. Glad to see Cody back as champ, and Show can move on also.

Sheamus/Bryan - Awesome match. Bryan looked like the superior wrestler the entire time, and it really put him over. I'm interested in seeing where he goes from here. Sheamus needed a match like this also, instead of just kicking everyone's ass, he finally looked like an underdog.

RyBack squash was fun I guess. Nothing too interesting, but it tells me that WWE actually wants this guy to be decent.

Punk/Jericho was a great story. Awesome match, and it delivered. I feel Punk really needed this match, so it can add another dimension to his character, rather than just being the cool, calm, collected sarcastic asshole who out-wrestles people. It was good to see him "get angry" and tell a different story. Both guys are great, and they put on a memorable match. I liked that they both wore street gear too, added a little something to it.

Good to see Layla back, and it looks like she can wrestle. Was hoping Kharma, but w/e.

Lesnar/Cena was brutal, in a great way. Loved the match, and it made Lesnar look incredible. Also, what in the fuck happened when he sailed over the ropes?! Lucky he's not dead, holy shit. My initial reaction to the finish was "WHY?!" but I'm gonna see how this plays out of course, and it shouldn't take away from the match, because it was awesome.

I expect Lesnar to go insane now, and not lose again for a very long time. Cena vs. Lesnar II for the belt is a definite, as I think they'll treat Cena as Brock's "kryptonite", as Lesnar has destroyed everyone since losing to Cena. But yeah, I guess we'll see.

Great show :y:

Brock will get his revenge.

[Keith]

The John Cena vs Brock Lesnar match was so awesome, it was so great, that in my opinion it didn't really matter who won the match, in my opinion. I'm not a John Cena fan by any means, but it didn't bother me he won.

[Big Vic]

and I know it is to early to judge a story before it is done, but if Cena is leaving for awhile Brock should have put him out with an "injury" (Kayfabe not a legit injury he probably gave him tonight) I was hoping they would have built Brock up to be this unstoppable monster only to be dethroned by someone.

If they really wanted Cena to win and leave have Brock put him in a kimura and get "pinned" ala Daniel Puder. Then say Cena injured his arm.This would have been the best plan

Layla's body looks better than it ever has and she seems to have been seriously working on her wrestling.

Yeah, that was one of the smoothest divas matches I've seen in a long time. She should be the focus of the division.

[DLVH84]

Layla has definitely took wrestling to heart. I hope she continues to improve her in-ring ability.

[Juan]

There was a huge backstage blow-up involving Brock Lesnar following Sunday's WWE Extreme Rules PPV, according to Mike Johnson of PWInsider.

Several sources stated that Lesnar lost it on a number of WWE officials and started to rip apart the dressing room. He was apparently upset over the John Cena promo that ended the pay-per-view.

Reports claim that the original plan was for Cena to be so beaten that he would have to be carried out of the building, despite winning the match. This would of left it open for Lesnar to brag that while he had lost the match by fluke, he won the war.

Lesnar perceived Cena as double crossing him when Cena decided to address the audience, causing Lesnar to then flip out on WWE officials. No word on how Lesnar calmed down, but the angle on Raw featuring Triple H's return was planned in advance as a way to remove Lesnar from WWE television.

Brock Lesnar's current deal with WWE only requires him to work two dates minimum, according to sources within the company.

[Keith]

If that is true, then Brock had reason to be upset.

[Tazz Dan]

It's Montreal all over again.

[Big Vic]

Reports claim that the original plan was for Cena to be so beaten that he would have to be carried out of the building, despite winning the match. This would of left it open for Lesnar to brag that while he had lost the match by fluke, he won the war. I dont know how true that story is but that is how it should have happened

[Fox]

Interesting story, if true. Cena really should have been stretchered out and Lesnar should have been made to look like a true monster. Cena winning and then giving his little speech definitely made Lesnar look like a defeated monster, skulking back to his dark cave.

I wonder if Triple H let Lesnar potato him pretty good last night to make up for this botched finish of the show?

[Jura]

Cena can get away with anything.

[PrettyCool]

Sounds like NEWZ that Ryan Clark made up.

Brock Lesnar is a professional.

This isnt MMA.

[Fignuts]

The fact that it isn't mma makes it more plausible. This kind of stuff happens all the time in wrestling.

It also makes a bit of sense to me. During raw yesterday, I was confused as to why Lesnar seemed so happy. Dude lost, and Cena walked out, on his own volition.

Cena fucked up with that speech, imo. Especially considering he's not actually taking time off.

[Keith]

I don't even think his arm was really hurt, not after how during his beatdown the arm was focused upon, and how Brock Lesnar also focused on Triple H's arm, so it's most likely a storyline thing. So I don't see a reason for that speech Cena did.

But who knows? WWE is so unpredictable these days, you never know.

[BigCrippyZ]

Yeah, if it's true, that's a pretty shitty thing to do on Cena's part. Even worse if it was some kind of plan from management just to screw with Lesnar.

At the same time though, Lesnar shouldn't have thrown a tantrum and acted like a child either.

[Keith]

You gotta remember, though, Brock Lesnar doesn't really need the WWE, the company needs him more than he needs them. So he probably has the mentality of "I come back because I want to, and I get treated like this?" I'm sure he's more focused on the Brock Lesnar brand than anything else.

[Fignuts]

Yeah, Lesnar could retire today, and live the rest of his life in luxury.

Still wouldn't have gotten physical and tore apart a dressing room if I was him, but he certainly had reason to be pissed.

[Big Vic]

I dont think that story is too true.
