Wrestling Thread May 13-19 | 5/19 WWE Extreme Rules PPV Prediction Contest Now Open!

[4wrestling]

Extreme Rules is this Sunday night.  With it being six weeks since the last PPV, you would think people would be jonesing for a show, but the typical summer lull seems to have hit sooner than usual.  Ratings were down last week and the interest in this thread was always way down.  I don't see tonight's show lighting the world on fire either.  Here is the current card for Extreme Rules:

• Brock Lesnar vs HHH in a OLD SCHOOL, Down and Dirty Steel Cage Match
• John Cena (c) vs Ryback in a Last Man Standing Match for the WWE Championship
• Dolph Ziggler (c) vs Alberto Del Rio vs Jack Swagger in a Ladder Match for the World Heavyweight Championship pending Ziggler's concussion
• Mark Henry vs Sheamus in a Strap Match
• Randy Orton vs The Big Show in an Extreme Rules Match (what?)

And presumably...

• Team Hell No (c) vs The Shield for the WWE Tag Team Championships
• Chris Jericho vs Fandango
• Kaitlyn (c) vs aj for the Divas Championship

Brock Lesnar and HHH will go "face to face" tonight.

Chris Jericho and Fandango will have a dance off.  Jericho has announced his partner will be Edyta Sliwinska who I guess is from Dancing with the Stars.  I have no idea who she is.

In regards to Fandango's dancer... the brunette is a college student.  She is not available to travel each week because of school, but Vince likes her a lot, so she will be used whenever possible.  Summer Rae will be used on the weeks that the other girl is not available.

Hopefully we get an awesome Great Khali Undercover skit trying to find out Kaitlyn's secret admirer.  That may be what I'm looking forward to most on Raw.

We'll get an update on Dolph Ziggler's health status after suffering a bad concussion last Tuesday at the Smackdown tapings.  At this point, no one knows if he'll be able to work this Sunday.

And more build to the John Cena vs Ryback match that no one seems to care about.

Haven't watched RAW since the day after Mania. No gym tonight so ill try and catch some of it but with the playoffs on its very doubtful.

 

[donmega]

Seems like a slow show for tonight.

 

[4wrestling]

At least as of yesterday, Ziggler was off of Sunday's Extreme Rules card, but if he can pass imPact testing, he could be put on.

Summer Rae is scheduled to be Fandango's dance partner, which means the brunette had other commitments tonight.

 

[King of Trash Style]

For years now Extreme Rules has always been better that Mania itself but this year I think the streak is over.

 

[Peep Game]

Hopefully the strap match is just 15 minutes of Henry whooping Sheamus while wearing a headset

 

[4wrestling]

I just got around to seeing the Austin Aries/Christy Hemme thing from Impact.  He should be suspended without pay.

Raw Spoilers for Tonight

Spoiler: Warning%3A%20Spoiler!

Whether it's a prop just for the Brock Lesnar vs. HHH scheduled segment or having to do with a match, there is a cage hung above the ring at the arena in Tulsa tonight.

Tonight is definitely not a sellout.  Most of the upper deck is tarped off.

 

[Cashflow]

Zzzzz Beginning To Raw. Meh.

 

[diewitsjames]

did they just have lyrics to fandangos theme song on the titantron?

 

[owensstr8clownin]

Nice Sign. "Go Fandango Yourself"

 

[Peep Game]

Besides Summer, I'm so glad the Bus/Heat are playing. HawtHawtHawt > Raw

 

[Mcflyy]

@ Jericho's dancer.

What's up with Jericho's wife beater?

 

[jdcurt2]

Hemme tweeted that it was unacceptable, then Aries replied with a bunch of nut jokes.

 

[rell826]

Ziggler has been confirmed as off the Extreme Rules card.

 

[motivated-minds]

Man wwe really trying to push this fandango guy, yet cesaro getting that jobber treatment.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

All jokes aside, what is up with his and Kofi's chests?

Serious question

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]
