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.
