Wrestling Afteraction: WWE Extreme Rules 2012

Hello everyone and welcome back to another edition of Wrestling Afteraction. This edition I will be covering what people are calling the best PPV of 2012 so far, Extreme Rules. This was a PPV of blood, fights and a main event that my son will not be allowed to see until he is way older. So without further ado, pop in your DVD copy and follow along...

Show Opening

• Did I turn in to a UFC fight or a WWE PPV? That was an intense opening.

Falls Count Anywhere

Kane vs. Randy Orton

• Wrestlemania Rematch #1
• Nice a pipe already! Just getting started!
• As long as they stay in the arena I love this of match. Especially with a hot crowd.
• Never mind heading backstage. now this because not as much fun.
• I think I see Zach Ryder!
• How is a back-breaker a "vintage" move?
• Hey we're back! Woot!
• Is the crowd doing "Yes" chants already?
• Yep those are definitely "Yes" chants during the chair shots.
• That was a wicked DDT onto the floor!
• "That wasn't a kick out, that was just straight out the back door"-Booker T. What the hell does that mean?
• Whoa! RKO off the chair! That was a great finish!!

Backstage

• Is that the Raw Roulette?

Brodus Clay vs. Dolph Ziggler

• The hell? I didn't know he was on the card.
• Better yet why is Hornswoggle out here too?
• Now Vickie? What is going on?
• Dolph? What did he do?
• According to Cole Hornswoggle has rabies. That's help out getting the young viewers.
• Love the announcers ignoring the massive "Let's Go Ziggler" chants. 
• Why can't more Brodus Clay matches be that exciting? Damn!

WWE Intercontinental Championship

Tables Match

The Big Show (c) vs. Cody Rhodes

• Wrestlemania Rematch #2
• Oh!!! So that's why the wheel was back there! Sorry didn't see the pre show.
• Wow this crowd is VERY pro Cody.
• Whoa! That was a great move off the table for Cody. How did that table NOT break?
• They "Yes" chants are back!
• Wait! That counts? It does! Big Show stepped on a table, it broke, Cody won!
• Cody NOW went through a table. But he still won.
• Was that like nine feet in the air through the table?
• This crowd is confusing me. They rooted for Cody the whole match then cheered when Big Show threw him through two tables and THEN give him a standing ovation when he gets up? I don't get it.

World Heavyweight Championship

2 out of 3 Falls Match

Sheamus (c) vs. Daniel Bryan

• Wrestlemania Rematch #3
• Wow. Sheamus didn't get that kind of heat when he was a HEEL! Well the 18 second shit didn't help matters.
• Sheamus actually hits submissions? Why doesn't he do that more often?
• This match is proving why Daniel Bryan is one of the best in the business.
• That was a great counter to the Celtic cross!
• What the fuck? Sheamus is up 1-0 by DQ? I thought this was No DQ! Oh well.
• Well done! Yes lock! 1-1 via pass out or submission. Either way.
• This crowd is RED HOT right now. There are dueling "Yes" and "No" chants! It is so loud I can't hear the announcers.
• Whoa! That was a hell of a Brogue Kick! How the did he kick out!?!?
• That boot was almost mightier than the fist.
• That was a war! Great match.

Ryback

• I refuse to even talk about this shit. Why is this even on a PPV?

WWE Championship

Chicago Street Fight

CM Punk (c) vs. Chris Jericho

• Wrestlemania Rematch #4
• Punk is DEFINITELY home. What a reaction!
• Damn weapons came out early. Chair and a kendo stick. Awesome!
• I was hoping showing Punk's sister would lead to something. That was a hell of a slap!
• Holy shit! Punk has lost it! That was the announce table! That was the top of the table.
• Someone just yelled "You're giving Fozzy a bad name." That was great.
• This has to be the best use of an announce table! And the table's still standing!
• I guess Y2J is thirsty? Don't waste another beer Jericho! It's not good for the beer!
• How many beers are down there? Is he going through Hornswoggle's fridge or something?
• This is total beer abuse!
• This should be included is a backstage video "how to counter the GTS".
• A fire extinguisher?? Shit! He blinded Jericho!
• No fuckin way!! Elbow drop through the Spanish announce table. Are you fuckin serious?!?!?
• Okay that was a great way to break the vice with a kendo stick. Damn!
• GTS off the exposed turnbuckle!! Holy shit. What a match!!

WWE Diva's Championship

Nikki Bella (c) vs. Layla

• Layla's back!
• This really isn't a bad match at all. Good job Layla.

Extreme Rules Match

Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena

• Wait is Brock sponsored by Jimmy Johns? Seriously this is still the same show right?
• I'm kinda shocked Brock let him do his whole entrance. Figured it would have started sooner.
• Fuck! Those are some wicked elbows!
• Nice touch with the ref wearing gloves because of the blood.
• What?! A doctor in an extreme rules match?
• Now that was getting busted open the hard way. Wow.
• No Cole in the old days this match would just continue if someone was bleeding no matter how bad it was.
• What the fuck is that move? Did his shoulder pop out there?
• I don't know what to say. This is fuckin brutal!
• Did Brock just pick up the ref with one hand and throw him in the ring through the second rope?
• Seriously who the fuck would WANT to ref a Brock match after this?
• Are you fuckin serious? How did Cena NOT break his arm during that?
• Why did Cena think hitting a move off the top rope was a good idea especially after power bombing Brock on the stairs?
• This is a surreal sight.
• That dive over the top rope was a sign of ring rust but seriously how is Brock walking after that fall?
• When did Cena get the chair back?
• I have never heard a Chicago crowd rooting Cena on this loud.
• AA on the steps!! Holy fuck!! That was unreal!!
• I don't know what to say after that.

Wrestling Afteraction: ROH Best in the World 2012

Welcome to the first edition of Wrestling Afteraction. Every week I pluck wrestling shows out of the vault and re-watch them and comment on them as a I go through it. This is NOT a hold for hold play-by-play review. This is me making comments and observations as the show is going on. For full enjoyment, I suggest you watch along in some variation along as you. Hope you enjoy.

This edition I will be covering Ring of Honor Best in the World 2012: Hostage Crisis. I am aware that the DVD is not out yet and the youtube feed I watched it no longer up. Hopefully you have a copy yourself, especially if you are ROH ringside member. Either way, when you do get a copy, pop it in and follow along...

The Briscoes vs. Guardians of Truth

• What's the point of a tale of the tape when you don't know who one of the teams are?
• Alot of conversation about the ropes being loose. It seemed to affect the match which explains it being so sloppy.
• Please tell me that's all we are going to see of the Guardians of Truth. That was a bad opener.

Homicide vs. Eddie Edwards
Die Hard Series

• I'm curious if that is TNA's LAX music because it sure sounds like it.
• I swear the "Yes!" chants have taken over pro wrestling lately, no matter if it's in English or Spanish.
• This was by far Homicide's best wrestled match in a long time, including his run as X Divison Champion.
• Holy shit! That was a wicked Grigo Killer!
• I don't really understand Homicide winning unless there's going to be a rematch down the road.

Kyle O'Reilly vs. Adam Cole
Hybrid Rules Match

• What the hell is a hybrid rules match?
• Okay this is WAY too complicated and I was able to follow along with most TNA matches a couple of years ago.
• Seriously how intense was the training for this PPV? First Edwards with his elbow then O'Reilly with his leg. What the hell?
• Holy shit!! I have never seen this much blood coming a moving human being's mouth!!
• Adam Cole is a fuckin star after this performance!
• Damn! That was of the best match of 2012! Unreal!

Finlay vs. Michael Elgin

• Well okay, no Truth Martini for this match. Elgin definitely doesn't need him so good to know.
• Anytime I see Finlay all I hear is "My name is Finlay and I want to fight!"
• I hope they let Elgin breakout by himself. I want to root for him, he's so likeable for a big guy.
• Seriously what youth elixir did Finlay take or is he just THAT good in the ring?
• Elgin and Finlay really put on a big guy clinic in this match.
• I don't get why the crowd is hating this match so much. This is an old school lengthy wrestling match. It's really enjoyable from my point of view.
• Wait! I thought the piledriver was illegal in ROH matches, hence the stipulation in the main event. Oh well.
• I love how Truth is trying to take credit Elgin's win. It's basic heel storytelling 101.

Intermission

• I do have a question, why are there intermissions on PPVs? I don't get that.

Mike Bennett

• Personally if I were Mike and Maria, I would drop Brutal Bob. They don't would be fine without him.
• Also someone should really test the mics and sound system during intermission to make sure it could be heard over the crowd.
• You would think watching Bennett and Maria makeout would be heelishly uncomfortable but it's oddly not.
• Enter Mike Mondo
• Someone teach him how to talk please. He's got the intensity but no mic skills.
• Did he say he was going to fuck Maria after this match? Unexpected line.

Mike Bennett vs. Mike Mondo

• Was that even a match?
• Wait I never heard a bell until AFTER the pinfall!
• That was interesting. That's all I got.

Roderick Strong (c) vs. Jay Lethal vs. Tommaso Ciampa

Ring of Honor World Television Championship Match

• I don't care at all about this whole Embassy & the House of Truth storyline. I think it's dumb.
• I do think it's hysterical that there are only two females in ROH and neither of them ACTUALLY wrestle.
• Um, Jay what the hell did you do to your hair?
• Okay what's worse Ciampa's facial hair or Lethal's hair?
• Okay ROH, pick a camera angle and stick with it for longer than a half a second. The camera work is totally taking me out of the match.
• Whoa!! Didn't know Princess Mia could kick like that!
• Oh this is a three way dance? That would have been nice to have been mentioned sooner.
• Playing the role of volleyball was Ciampa.
• Okay I have never seen one male hit two submissions like Lethal did.
• I've always wanted to know what is actually in the Book of Truth?
• Okay that was a shitty way to end a very good triple threat.
• So wait a sec, Prince Nana cost Ciampa the title? That makes no real sense.

Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team (Charlie Hass & Shelton Benjamin) (c) vs. The All-Night Express (Rhett Titus and Kenny King)

Ring of Honor World Tag Team Championship

• So this is what turns out to be Kenny King's last match in ROH.
• Hass/Benjamin are the only heels all night that are actually being treated like heels by the New York crowd.
• Oh no that's why they "fined" Finlay for piledriver earlier was so they can say Hass would have gotten DQed for using it here. That works for me.
• You take DQs out of the picture and you actually get a good wrestling match.
• After this showing it's a shame there will be no rematch.
• When King threw Shelton the chair, that was brutal!
• The theme of this show is that the faces can win matches despite losing ALOT of blood. First Cole than Titus.
• Did Hass think this was a "I Quit" match all of a sudden?
• So that's how ANX wins the title, a bloody rollup? I guess that works.
• I will say that if this King's last night in ROH, he went out with a bang.

Kevin Steen (c) vs. Davey Richards

Ring of Honor World Heavyweight Championship

Anything Goes Match

• "My name is Steve Corino and I'm proud to be evil" might be the best start to a promo I've heard in ages.
• Did Corino actually drop Cole's "I'm a broadcast journalist" line?
• Was nice to hear "Mr. Wrestling" again.
• Did Davey teach Kyle how to talk? Tonight is his coming out party.
• Whoa! Did the match just start with a superkick through a table? Shit!!
• Two minutes in and this is already a war. Damn!!
• Apparently Steen didn't like how the steel barigades looked so he redecorated on Richards' head.
• What did Bobby Cruise do to deserve that superkick?
• You know you don't realize how little space there is outside the ring till Davey set up that table.
• "We want fire!!" New York crowds are awesome!
• Davey Richards' mouth piece tastes like "determination with a bit of bitterness." Great line by Corino.
• Todd Sinclair gets knocked out the match by Davey and the crowd started chanting "Yes! Yes Yes!" Amazing!
• What the hell? Steen hit the piledriver on Turner. That was random.
• Whoa! What a piledriver by Davey on Steen on the ladder. Got a 20 count from the crowd.
• I have to admit watching Corino beat up Cornette made me smile.
• A spike to the nuts and a piledriver and it's over. Surreal!

Post Match

• Total respect given to Davey by Steen.
• Love the New York crowd. Steen is insulting them and they are chanting "Yes! Yes! Yes!"
• Awesome "Ole!" singing.
• Whoa! He took a shot on Punk and Bryan.
• The crowd to totally cheering a wicked crazy heel promo.
