Who cares? Why did I start this thread? Will anyone bother to post here?

Yeah I'll give this one a shot, even though there's nothing compelling on the card and I don't know what most of the builds are. (Added the card to the OP.)

Having not watched the wwe in a long time I have a bunch of questions

1. Lashley is in the wwe?!?!
2. Does rusev have a shot or is this a transitional feud?
3. Bray Hardy? Lol
4. Is Finn Balor still a thing?

I hope there's some sort of ****ery that leads to KO winning vs. Braun. The "feud" has been extremely dumb and there's no doubt that KO's the face by now and Braun is deserving of some sort of comeuppance.

True story: I'm looking forward to the two preshow matches more than anything on the main show.

Ronda will be there too which is all sorts of

That's a lot of matches, especially considering one of them is a lock for 30 minutes.

Rooting for my internet to go out so I don't even feel compelled to have this on my ipad screen.

I suppose I’ll tune in at some point tonight.

To ensure this thread isn’t a total bust I’ll cross post my hike cured/smoked/steamed pastrami and the accompanying Reuben I made.

Glad Sanity got the win here at least. Was a bit worried they were going the way of the Ascension after their first few weeks.

I wonder if they've kept Bo away from Bray in this feud for a reason thus far?

Did they win clean? I only caught the last move. I sure wouldn't have bet on them.

I wasn't fully paying attention either. Seemed clean, if by that you mean no rules were broken.

Why would Constipation Corbin have to wear a suit for scheduled matches?

I'm glad that Vince scrapped that policy that he apparently used to have about not naming the referees on commentary. That was quite stupid.

So there's only one actual "extreme rules" match at this PPV? Plus a cage match? Out of 10 total matches? Looool

I don't disagree that that's stupid (admittedly I hadn't bothered to realize it, but you're right), but the notion of "extreme rules" in the PG era is pretty dumb to begin with. Much in the same way that the PG rendition of DX was historically terrible.

Kane has a legit injured foot fwiw:

Quote:

Kane is apparently going into tonight’s WWE Extreme Rules event injured.

This past Thursday in Knox County, Tennessee Mayor Tim Burchett declared the day Rusev Day at an auction attended by Rusev, as well as Kane. Kane was seen limping around and wearing a medical walking boot at the event, which is used to protect the foot and ankle due to injury or surgery.

When asked about his injured foot at the event, Kane said that it wasn’t wrestling related and that he should be fine for his match at Extreme Rules. Kane obviously will be working a limited role in his match that will see him team with Daniel Bryan to take on The Bludgeon Brothers.
