WWE Extreme Rules Post Thoughts.

Extreme Rules was the best Pay-Per-View I have seen by the WWE in years. I missed the Orton and Punk match, but from what everyone is telling me it was great. Kingston and Sheamus put on a very good match. When Sheamus first arrived, I thought he was pushed too fast, and I was not impressed. However, I saw that he had great matches with Kingston in the past, and Morrison. Kingston even looked aggressive in this match which really helps him a lot. This truly seemed like an extreme rules night and this in my opinion help set the night up for what we were about to see. When he leaped onto Sheamus to secure his victory, I was happy that I was treated to a great match.
Cody Rhodes and Rey Mysterio had a great match also. I thought that they had a potential show stealer at WrestleMania. This matched followed up very well. To see them go backstage seem like Vince McMahon meant what he said when he stated, "in order to move forward, we must go back a little" I had a feeling Rey would win this match, but I must say, he did not bore me with it.
Michael Cole and Jack Swagger vs JR and the King is not even worth writing about. For Cole to win again makes no sense at all.
Michelle McCool and Layla had a great match. Even with all the buzz around that McCool was leaving the WWE, she left giving the fans something to remember. Her and Layla actually went out and pull out everything. In the end, it was Layla winning and McCool leaving the WWE. As she got up, she was great by none other than Kharma. Formerly known as Awesome Kong in TNA, she came out and made a huge impact on the Divas division immediately. As if, being defeated by her former best friend Layla was not enough, Being driven straight to hell by a 200 pound behemoth put Michelle McCool in worse shape than she has ever been in her career. What was even better, a gang of WWE divas were in the locker room staring in awe as if they were all disturbed. Kharma in less than three minutes put the entire diva locker room on notice
Kane and Big Show defeating the Corre, being represented by Wade Barrett and Ezekiel Jackson was no surprise. The fact that this was a lumberjack match was stupid. I understand that this was a filler match, just to give you a chance to catch your breath, but a lumber jack match?
John Cena vs John Morrison vs The Miz ended up being better than I thought. This is the fourth time this year that the Miz has been asked to live up to great matches that came before him. At the Royal Rumble it was the Ziggler-Edge match, Elimination Chamber, the Smackdown Chamber match, and WrestleMania it was The Undertaker-Triple H match. The Miz is one of my favorite superstars, therefore it was a big shock to me to see him lose the title. I really liked R-Truth coming out and interfering in this match. I think he and Morrison can put on some great matches. Perhaps they will be bouts for the number one contender?
Christian and Alberto Del Rios match in my opinion should have been the main event going in. The belt was vacated for goodness sakes. These two put all they had into this one. Del Rio really made up for his cold feet at WrestleMania. I thought the Step Ladder was really funny. When Del Rio was at the top of the ladder, I just knew he was going become champion, but the big surprise was seeing Edge come out in a Jeep, of all vehicles, and blow the horn to distract Del Rio which gave Christian time to rise above the occasion, knock Del Rio off and climb up to the top of the ladder, much as he did before, but unlike the rest, this time he would become for the first time in his career, World Heavyweight Champion. Seeing Edge out there and congratulating Christian on his big moment was like none other. I cannot wait to see how this will elevate Christian and his career in the WWE.
