WWE – another way to redeem themselves for an 18 seconds match at WrestleMania is a 2 out of 3 falls match at Extreme Rules. It better be good this time. YES! YES! YES!

      Na the what chants were awesome. I wish they still did those! Especially with rtruth being a face. Would make his character what it was when he first turned.

    I said the same thing last week brother. Brave yourself for some immature mark rage!

Extreme Rules is shaping up to be a strong PPV. I'm glad to see we're not getting the usual post-'Mania lull!

This is just one of the examples of what’s wrong with WWE.

They continue to push Mr. Fruity Pebbles, setting up his match before either of the championship matches.

When your championships mean nothing, so does your product.

  Are you serious Cena is the number one selling wrestler that Vince has. You internet idiots need to really stop hating on Cena, the guy works his ass off. I’m not a huge Cena fan, I’m more excited that Brock is back, however I do understand that Cena is needed much like Hogan was to put butts in the seats that helps every other wrestler collect a check. You should be glad that Vince hasn’t put the heavyweight title back on Cena. Mark!

    You're missing his point. Even if Cena is their number one guy, the titles still have to mean something, they still have to look like the most important things in the company that everyone wants to hold. Jericho and Punk are the best thing going in the company right now, but they're being screwed for screen time simply because of Cena and Lesnar, and previously Cena and the Rock. I'm all for focusing on what brings money, but they should also be focusing on what keeps the business strong, and having titles that mean something keeps the business strong. A guy like Lesnar, who stands a very high chance of flaking out of his contract due to being unable to hack the WWE's high work and travel schedule even on a reduced work rate, shouldn't be the core focus of the company.

Me thinks the Universe isn't too pleased with Sheamus as WHC. To be honest, I don't see what's so great about Sheamus to begin with, but they sure as hell are starting to book him like they did with Cena. His stories usually fall flat, and I don't see him as a champion just yet. IC maybe.

  I prefer him as a chasing challenger, rather then a champion. Daniel Bryan could have continued his reign to have the most meaningful WHC run in ages.

Each fall last’s 18 seconds. That would be funny.

wonder what stipulations the 2 out of 3 falls match will have.
Russell

Hopefully first fall submission match winner Sheamus (he comes up with new submission hold) second fall table match winner Daniel Bryan final fall ladder match winner Sheamus.
Russell

I hope lord tensai has match at extreme rules also.
Chad

Im sorry but I think its obvious Bryan is going to lose this match. With Del Rio getting a future title shot, unless Bryan turns face, there is no way they are going to set up a heel vs heel match. Especially after already beginning to feud Sheamus and Del Rio.
