**Merged** Official Extreme Rules Discussion- Keep it all in Here!

[The Perfect Max]

Submission Match for the WWE Championship
CM Punk (c) vs Chris Jericho
Seems very likely. A Submission Match can be very brutal if needed and the fact that both of these guys finishing moves are submission moves, it seems fitting. I agree with a post above saying, because of John Laurinaitis being in charge, I could see the Anaconda Vise being banned.

Triple Threat Extreme Rules Match for the World Heavyweight Championship
Sheamus (c) vs Alberto Del Rio vs Daniel Bryan
The competitors seem likely, but the match type I am unsure of. I have gone for a Extreme Rules Match because the three of them look like they could go to town on each other. Sheamus is naturally aggressive because of his size. Bryan, from his past, before WWE, can inflict pain and Del Rio is a guy who showed early on a violent side to him. I say an Extreme Rules Match is a good idea.

Street Fight
Kane vs Randy Orton
A lot of people don't want the feud to continue, but I do. A Street Fight seems very fitting as it was the match that supposedly led to the Kane "resurrection". Plus a vengeful Orton against a "whole" Kane could be a perfect mix of competitors and match type. Another suggestion could be an Inferno Match, but a lot of arenas don't allow it, and the match itself anytime is a long shot, especially now in the PG Era. The last Inferno Match I believe was Kane vs MVP.

Fatal-4-Way No Disqualification Match for the United States Championship
Santino Marella (c) vs David Otunga vs Dolph Ziggler vs Jack Swagger
Again, with Laurinaitis using his power, why not have a 3-on-1 type match. A Fatal-4-Way yes, but now Santino has a high chance of losing the title. I don't want that to happen, I just can't fit Ziggler and Swagger elsewhere, and it isn't a bad match on paper.

Chairs Match for the Intercontinental Championship
The Big Show (c) vs Cody Rhodes
This would not be my first choice of match, because I didn't expect Rhodes to drop the title to Show. A Chairs Match is easy, and I don't see any other match really fitting these two. A Tables Match? Maybe, but they work better in a match between two fast superstars.

Triple Threat Ladder Match for the WWE Tag Team Championship
Epico and Primo (c) vs Kofi Kingston and R-Truth vs The Usos
For those who didn't see the Pre-Show at WrestleMania XXVIII, the Triple Threat Match was really good. This may not include Justin Gabriel and Tyson Kidd, but Kofi and Truth are more popular and again, I can't really fit them anywhere else on the card at the moment. A Ladder Match with these guys could be really good.

I know the card looks really weak, but if you add Brock Lesnar and John Cena, maybe a confrontation of somesorts, I wouldn't be so bothered. We could see a Lord Tensai squash match, maybe with a stipulation as on Raw against Alex Riley he seemed like a guy that could just inflict punishment. The Miz is a major guy missing but I don't see where he fits into this, and Mark Henry is another I don't see a spot for, but he might interfere in the WWE Championship Match, I wouldn't mind seeing him cost Punk the strap.

 

[no dq no timeout]

i agree with most of the matches that you guys are suggesting, but two things....it should be brock lesner vs john cena (any type of gimmick match other than i quit because cena never quits lol) and i think the whc should be daniel bryan vs sheamus (i think it's only fair bryan gets a one on one match and also del rio just came back i don't want him feuding for the title...he was constantly feuding for the title since last wrestlemania first whc then wwe i'm sick of his feuds it's all about the title. maybe he can face miz in a number one contender match.)

Street Fight Match: Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena
Well it seems this is where WWE is headed with Cena and I really can't nor would I want to see Cena going up against just about anybody random after coming off a huge match with The Rock and since all the other main eventers are stuck in a programme of their own, it just wouldn't make sense. I could see this being a Street Fight match because I believe every match on the card will have a stipulation but you don't want too big of a stip for someone who's just returned and what I think will just be a one off match.

Submission Match: CM Punk vs. Chris Jericho - WWE Championship
I would honestly like to see the two compete in a Steel Cage match but the WWE have a Steel Cage themed PPV coming up soon and CM Punk did beat Jericho with the Anaconda Vice at WM, so this would make more sense than a Steel Cage match.

No DQ Match: Sheamus vs. Alberto Del Rio vs. Daniel Bryan - World Heavyweight Championship
Can't see a special stip for this one but I do like that it's a Triple Threat cause it will save Bryan from getting jobbed quickly and I think the exchanges between Bryan & Del Rio will make this match. I don't see any of the two doing wonders with Sheamus if it were one on one.

Last Man Standing Match: Kane vs. Randy Orton
I really couldn't see a more fitting stipulation for this one. Both guys have no heart, they don't back down, they don't quit, they are just simply monsters and will take each other to the limit in this one.

Strap Match: Kelly Kelly vs. Eve Torres
I could see Kelly Kelly finally standing up for the diva division & Zack Ryder to take on Eve in their defense. Strap match is the only hardcore match I could think of for them cause I don't exactly see WWE putting on a match where two women beat the hell out of each other with chairs or anything in this PG era. Strap match isn't too violent and I'm sure the crowd would love to see two women getting whipped, if you know what I mean.

Stretcher Match: Big Show vs. Cody Rhodes - Intercontinental Championship
I'm not sure if Cody Rhodes will be able to push Show on a stretcher or not and if not then I would say just have an Ambulance match though it happened 2 months ago which is why I came up with a Stretcher match for the two but regardless I think this would be a more interesting match than just a Street Fight, No DQ, Falls Count Anywhere which are all practically the same stip really and I have like all 3 of them booked in my fantasy card already, so I wanted to book something different.

Falls Count Anywhere Match: Santino Marella vs. David Otunga - US Championship
Wouldn't be a good match but I think the support for Santino in this one is what will make the match.

Tables Match (Bonus): The Miz, Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger vs. Zack Ryder, Kofi Kingston & R-Truth
This one wouldn't be scheduled for the card but I couldn't imagine a PPV without these 6 being on it and I think this would be a good filler match.

Extreme Rules Match (Bonus): Lord Tensai vs. Brodus Clay
Another bonus match but I also think this will would be a good one to have cause they are both squash artists and with one squash artist squashing the other, one will be moving up and we all know who is scheduled for big things in the future.

Chris Jericho vs CM Punk in an Extreme Rules match. The bottle breaking was too perfect. I feel it has to play in with the match stipulation, and likely the finish for the event. Extreme Rules seems perfect

Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus vs Alberto Del Rio in a ladder match. It seems like it's about the time to pull out a ladder match. Considering it's a plausible way for someone to beat Sheamus, also considering Bryan and Del Rio's experiences with Money in the Bank, it'd be a great way if they wanted to either have Sheamus overcome his two biggest problems in a match stipulation in their favor or have Sheamus credibly lose the World Title.

Cody Rhodes vs The Big Show in a Last Man Standing match. The match will obviously be one in Show's favor, so he'll probably just tease him most of the match before embarrassing him and winning to end the feud. While I would rather have Cody win, this just seems like the most plausible option if only because I have a feeling they just want to test Cody a bit before possibly giving him the Money in the Bank briefcase.

Brock Lesnar and John Cena will have a segment on the PPV where they will explain Brock's gripe with John Cena and likely build up to what everyone seems to be expecting, Brock Lesnar vs John Cena and Wrestlemania 29.

The rest of the card I'm not sure of yet, Kane vs Orton is a possibility, but they really haven't hinted towards a real stipulation to my knowledge and they already gave away a hardcore rematch on live TV.

[Peoples_Champ]

WWE Creative has to be fucking idiots if they don't turn Cena / Brock into a First Blood match. They way it was set up last night was perfect.

But then again, its WWE Creative. I would actually prefer this match not have a stipulation, unless its a First Blood match. Give all the other matches gimmicks, but keep Cena / Lesnar as the non-gimmick main event. The match itself has enough attention to generate buys without adding something cheesy to it.

I think a good gimmick for Rhodes vs big show could be a Texas bull rope match. It would defiently favour big show but it comes from Rhodes background. Would be a nice unique match and they can play on Rhodes not being able to run away.

Also, you could have show knock Rhodes out and the have him having to carry Rhodes around the ring to be to touch all four corners and then maybe Rhodes body touching three corners to and then Rhodes sliding if shows shoulders to be first to touch 4th corner? Could have a silly finish like this or just havevrhides jump of shows shoulder to get to 4th corner first.

Would set up another nice rematch at over the limit as show could say Rhodes never pinned him for the belt.


For the other matches I would love to see a ladder match in either the wwe championship match between punk and y2j or an amazing fatal four way tag team match. Could be primo & epico vs Usos vs kofi & truth vs either Kidd & Gabriel (or skater if Gabriel is injuries) or Hawkins & rykes.

For the us title I can see a championship scramble with santino, clay, ziggler, swagger and ??? ( maybe tensai) . You could have santino get the win at the last second after swagger is laid out.

Ladder match for the WWE Championship
CM Punk (c) vs Chris Jericho
Considering the history of ladder matches between the two i think this could work well into the storyline. They both competed in numerous Money in the Bank ladder matches, two in which Punk won. Jericho has had a good few single Ladder matches too. With the whole CM Drunk thing i could imagine Jericho saying Punk will be "too hungover to climb a ladder"


John Cena vs Brock Lesnar
Keep this match a standard singles match. It doesnt need any stipulations. Let them brawl.


Tables Match for the WWE Tag-Team Championships
Primo and Epico (c) vs The Usos vs Kingston and R-Truth
Royal Rumble 2000 - Hardys vs Dudleys - This match made you pay attention to these 4. It could perhaps work with these 6... Maybe?


No Holds Barred match for the Intercontinetal Championship
Big Show (c) vs Cody Rhodes
Your standard Wrestlemania rematch.


Keep Bryan vs Sheamus a 2/3 falls match. Its works perfectly no flukes for either man. We're guaranteed a good solid match. (God forbid i hope anyway)


Cage Match
Kane vs Randy Orton
See Rhodes vs Show.

 

[Diet Soda]

Well, well...

Punk vs. Jericho in an I Quit match
- Seems the obvious choice, Jericho could carry on goading Punk into "giving in" to alcohol, and seeing as they both have submission finishers, it would work. Could be spoiled by cheap stipulation that if Punk loses he has to drink a yard of ale. Or listen to Fozzy.

Sheamus and Bryan we already know, but I would love it if the first fall quickly went to Sheamus (again), and bring out the frustration in Bryan.

Cena vs. Brock; ref bumps, ref bumps everywhere. It's going to be an all-out scrap. Expect a no contest.

Orton vs. Kane Vs. Cody Rhodes vs. Big Show, 4 Way Tables Elimination Match for the Intercontinental title. Guaranteed 15 minutes of fun.

Tag Team Turmoil for the Tag Team championship. Primo and Epico defend against Brodus and Santino, Truth and Kofi, Del Rio and Ricardo, Ziggler and Swagger, The Usos, and Reks and Hawkins.

Ryback vs. someone like Mason Ryan or Big Zeke, and still squash them.

+ a Divas match. I dunno, the Bellas against each other in a Punjabi Prison. Won't be watching.

I won't be ordering Extreme Rules. I'll likely still end up catching up on footage of the more interesting matches later, but I rarely bother ordering this PPV. It's mostly Wrestlemania rematches and tends to end up being one of the weaker shows of the year in my opinion. I am going to save my money for more important things. With that being said, I still have predictions for the match outcomes and I'll discuss the pre-show United States Championship match in here due to it not really needing its own thread.

Why exactly is this a pre-show match? They should add it to the card as the 7th match because this is not helping the belt's importance a single bit. Then again, look at who the champion is. I can see The Miz winning here. He had a very impressive US title reign and a second one could get him back some much needed momentum if he is going to return to the world title scene anytime soon. Miz wins while Santino goes back to being a comedy jobber who DOESN'T hold a championship.

DAGGER'S PREDICTION
The Miz will win the United States Championship.
