GDT: WWE Extreme Rules (15th July 2018)

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

Alright back to my ECW Heatwave 98 PPV a REAL extreme rules PPV. I need to get the taste of that trash PPV out of my mouth.

 

[TD Charlie]

The post show is somehow worse than the ppv

 

[WingsMJN2965]

This segment also made me realise that our two women's champions are simultaneously Alexa Bliss and Carmella.

So happy the women's revolution gave us women that can wrestle. *cough*

Good Lord people need to stop b****ing about Alexa.

 

[TNT87]

Extreme Rules baby. That ppv was so extreme there's dorito extreme 3D chip dust falling out out of my TV.

I think that's what Dolph sprayed tanned himself with.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Bo looks so much like Bray when he is that intense

 

[ColePens]

Poor Renee.

Why the f*** does Sam Roberts have a job? Dude is a complete eyesore with an annoying ass voice and no anchoring talent.

Not saying you have to like him (I definitely do not) but the dude has put in a TON of work doing radio/podcasts his entire life to earn a spot. He has a shit load of experience and busts his butt. His podcast is actually solid. He's a sneakerhead so I tune in from time to time when it's sneakers/wrestling.

But I still cannot stand his work on the WWE network, but it's a guy trying to make a buck doing every single thing the WWE wants him to do.

 

[These Are The Days]

@The Gongshow lmfao I was half listening to the show and when I tuned in I got legitimately confused when I didn't see Roman and it was near 11 PM

 

[Maffew]

Good Lord people need to stop b****ing about Alexa.

Nah, that's cool. I'll do what I want and have my own opinions, thanks.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

I think that's what Dolph sprayed tanned himself with.

I was more thinking he oversold a slingshot into the ropes and came too close to the sun.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Nah, that's cool. I'll do what I want and have my own opinions, thanks.

Go watch some Kelly Kelly matches and you'll realize your opinion sucks. Thanks.

 

[ColePens]

I'm gonna assume you chose not to go to the PPV.

I looked at ticket. Club was so tempting. SO affordable. But I just couldn't do it. I just don't care enough right now about the product. I would have only gone for DB and that whole set up was meh. I'm so happy I didn't go. And it's not even saving money. $125 for those seats is a frickin' steal. I value my time.

I couldn't even make it through the PPV watching while doing 10 different things at the same time. WWE just isn't worth my time. I'll tune in here/there, but their product is shit.

 

[Natey]

Glad Ziggler retained. I find him entertaining as hell. And honestly, the booking was awful for Ziggler/Rollins but I couldn't look away because it was so strange. The work was really good though, as was the Styles/Rusev match.

Oh, and B-TEAM BABY!

 

[c9777666]

My problem with Bliss is simple- she was champ for what seemed like an eternity and after a 2.5 month respite, we're back to square 1.

Seriously, Asuka would have been better off staying on RAW

 

[Maffew]

So you're a Hornswoggle fan, I take it.

You couldn't pay me $125 dollars to sit through that God awful show again, lol.

 

[Kairi Zaide]

Ronda Rousey paid for a ticket to THIS?

We should start a GoFundMe to refund her the ticket price

 

[WingsMJN2965]

If he could cut a promo like Alexa can without being dangerous, which Alexa isn't, sure.

Definitely my biggest gripe. Such a huge huge huge gripe. We went backwards. I felt like Flair/Asuka was such a good match and Asuka winning would have propelled her to an insane level w/ Flair also being at that level. Then Asuka's first loss could have been Rousey, which is the PERFECT long-term booking. Flair/Asuka/Rousey all would have been booked to be insanely awesome and it would have worked.

 

[Maffew]

If you read my first post again, my gripe with Alexa isn't her promo skills. Don't put words in my mouth.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Yes. She can't wrestle like Becky. Becky also can't talk people into wanting to see her kick the s*** out of somebody like Alexa can talk people into wanting to see her get her ass kicked. Like it or not, as long as you're not dangerous, the entertainment part is going to trump the wrestling part in WWE. If you missed Steve Austin's entire career after breaking his neck, his arsenal pretty much consisted of punches and kicks with a stunner.

And I don't care if you're a Becky fan or a Bayley fan or a Sasha fan or a Charlotte fan. Insert any one of them and the point still applies.

Gonna have to just agree to disagree then. I think a well told story in the ring can get any crowd behind you or against you if you have the talent to tell it right, and I appreciate those a thousand times more when it's done well.

Natalya should hold the title a lot more, then.

You know Vince loves his muscular guys and hot girls, so his preference determines how the show goes. Doesn't mean he's right, or that everyone has to agree with him.

Asuka is better off still in NXT.

Alexa is champion more because they’re working Ronda up the ladder in terms of work rate, and the story seems like it’s going to be that Ronda is probably going to keep getting screwed.
