Still contemplating buying tickets. We will see how cheap awesome tickets are.

i love kimi plugging the G1 in every damn post.
interesting card.. its fun to see them shuffle it for once. feels random.

 

[Sheppy]

Yay Kendo Sticks!

 

[Disclose]

Paige confirmed New day vs Sanity: tables match

 

[Conrad McBenis]

Paige confirmed New day vs Sanity: tables match

Tables and Pancakes match, unless CageSide was being facetious.

 

[The Gongshow]

Member when every match used to have a stipulation?

Paige confirmed New day vs Sanity: tables match

Have they interacted yet? I thought Sanity attacked the Usos...

 

[Disclose]

they attacked the new day from behind last week during their eating contest. i believe the table was used.

Yeah, I can't believe we're not getting an Extreme Pudding Match or a Miss WrestleMania Crown Hog Pen Match...

Those were both actually a thing that were on the cards lol. I'm looking up the old Extreme Rules cards atm to see how many gimmicks they used to do. This card is very generic for a gimmick PPV, but they've got all week to announce stuff and they do have an 11th match (pre-show) that is a tables match.

EDIT: We're also missing out on an Extreme Makeover Match, which was on the next card I looked at. It was a title match too.

EDIT 2: So in recent years it's been 50/50 gimmick/vanilla matches. Which is fine for a gimmick PPV, and I do expect they'll be adding stuff (either tonight or during the week) so that this card'll be in the same range.

Honestly i think it’s a hell of a card, but i don’t have very high hopes for the show.

they beat down the New Day at a pancake eating contest

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

feels like Hardy/Nakamura is either going to be great or awful...Im leaning towards great

Rusev and AJ should be a good match. Not expecting some Meltzer 7* special, but a good match nonetheless

Strowman and Owens can be good with the right road agent. If its a spot fest, it'll be bad. if they let them wrestle, it can be good. Especially with Owens playing a chiken s**t heel running away from Strowman.

Ziggler/Rollins should steal the show, easily. That is going to be a great one to watch. 2 of the most talented in ring guys they have.

Card updated. Ellsworth in a shark cage, and New Day vs Sanity added.

I think it's a decent card too, except for the women's matches. I just hope they don't dump a ton of junk gimmicks onto everything as I never enjoy weapon matches or anything.

I remember when KO was destroying people. Good times.

Careful with this one. For cage matches it’s great to be on the floor, but as soon as there’s a ladder match or anything involving weapons and tables you’re better off a little higher. If you’re too close to the floor and someone takes a table bump outside the ring, you’re not gonna see it unless you’re sitting at least half way up the lower bowl.

yeah, but Vince will never push a fat guy at a main event level

This is pretty much always where i try to score tickets.

 

[BonMorrison]

This card is pretty good, ngl.

 

[Lunatik]

Except, Andre the Giant, Mick Foley, Yokozuna, Big Show... etc.

 

[Kyle Tate]

Guys,

 

[Shoalzie]

It'll be a decent way to waste a Sunday night...not much else on other that. If I'm caught up on the G1 action from this weekend, I'll keep an eye on this.

 

[Paris in Flames]

I mean. Owens was the centre piece of the show for a long time. He was very much pushed at the main event level..

Also the big dudes listed above.

....and briefly Bray Wyatt.

 

[ColePens]

Err.... bump?
