I'm telling you, "Old-Timey Weightlifter" is Cesaro's "Stone Cold" moment just waiting to happen.
Let him lead a faction with The Vaudevillains and you're printing money.
Would legit be better than whatever he's doing now.

I liked how they had several crew members lifting it up, a nice little detail.

Who is meant to be the heel in the divas match? I'm so confused. The crowd cheer for the Bellas but they still do the bad heel things lol.
If they're both heels then thats ok, something different. If so its funny cause Naomi the noob heel tryin' to be tough but still gets schooled by the real evil queens.

You may have missed the memo that the WWE doesn't believe in making women faces or heels. They're all just supposed to be catty and at each other's throats.

I disagree with this. (#internet) Cesaro's been pretty fun with Tyson. The dual "fact!" promo on Smackdown last week was pretty great.

I guess I should have known better than to try and read too much into the womens match. 
Here is all you need to know with main roster divas, they're either:
- Catty bitch.
- Whore with man trouble.
- Crazy.
- 'Anti-diva.'
Why can't we have girl wrestler who tries hard and worked her butt off to get where she is, achieves girlhood dream after many attempts at overcoming catty bitch to be champion and is loved and respected?
Kaitlyn sorta had that with her program with Eve, it was a nice moment when she won but her thing quickly reverted back to 'just an unimportant divas match' soon after.

Two years ago. Long enough I guess. Although Lesnar did the same thing to the commentary team a few weeks ago.

I love Blue Pants!
So, Jericho is interviewing Steph after Smackdown this week?
Also, this Barrett/Neville kickoff match is as good as you can hope for from a pre-show. Neville is so damn good. Not sure how I feel about him kicking out of Winds of Change -and- Wasteland in the same match, though. Still, a fine opener, and the Red Arrow is so damn beautiful.
..I do wish people would stop chanting "NXT" during his matches, though.

Oh, cool, King of the Ring is back! This is perfect network stuff they should have been doing.
Yeah despite it sounding like a spur of the moment idea I'm happy it's happening so soon. Curious to see how it goes.

Don't know if it got posted during the PPV talk last night, but Vice put up an article on Death Ray and the NXT Women's division:

Check out the Neville match on the pre-show, and the tag title match. Both were pretty good and enjoyable.
Show starts strong and then ends like an average RAW
I thoroughly enjoyed it. Your mileage may vary, I guess.

Xavier woods was the MVP last night.
"Why are you booing, we are winning"
"Why are you booing, we are winning"
For Tyson, maybe...
Is it just me, or has Orton lost some definition? Also lol at Naomi's glasses. Ambrose has to go places quickly. And Cena seems to have slotted into the mid-card nicely.
perfect
Either a) the rule only applied to Orton or b) it's an excuse for a rematch.

Yeah it's on their podcast.I fell asleep, friend.
Is there a recording somewhere??
watched up until the tag match then went to bed. feel likes I got the best of the show? that kane/rollins/HHH segment really made it feel like an episode of Raw though. Read the results of the other matches, seems like we are just standing still on all storylines.
Oh yeah and now the New Day are over. The power of Cesaro can get anyone over clearly.

Won't be long. I'm hard pressed to spend $20 on an indie looking game knowing it'll either be free on Plus or pennies on PC.
I didn't realize you were a poors. What a shame.
I thought Extreme Rules was decent. It was a C+, maybe B-, show.
Match of the night was New Day vs Cesaro/Kidd. Fun as hell match and Xavier Woods is fantastic as a talker. Worst match of the night was Big Show vs Roman. That match went on for fucking ever, Roman basically had Super-Cena spots, and they basically recycled the Big Show/Del Rio ending. Seth vs Orton was what I expected it to be, decent match that boils down into The Authority interfering and then Seth doing something sneaky to retain the belt (cuz he's obviously not dropping it a month after Mania). Rollins should have been DQ'd for using the RKO and in fact that would have been a better ending to the match because Rollins would have used his own stipulation in order to keep the title.
Really wish Rusev/Cena wasn't going to continue on until Payback. Rusev is absolutely going to be Bray Wyatt 2.0 by the time this is done.

This is how you keep from being poor!
I hope the New Day/Kiddcesaro feud gets some fucking mic/promo time because they both have had entertaining segments.
Oh yeah, I actually really really liked the Wyatt promo from the PPV as well. They have royally fucked Bray Wyatt up for real.

Big E has been capable of entertaining matches for quite some time - I remember sitting up and paying attention in the early days of Rusev's monster build and really enjoying those two going at it. It's good to see that wasn't just a one-off.
