Extreme Rules loves and hates

Let me once again complain about the fact that if you are outside of the United States, like I am, you miss out on the Pre-Show now.  The pre-show tonight was listed as having the WeeLC match between Hornswaggle and El Torito.
Not getting to see the pre-show anymore since it was taken to the Network is a hate. 

Match #1- RVD vs Cesaro Vs Swagger. This was a triple threat elimination match.
RVD eliminated Swagger with a pinfall.
Cesaro eliminated RVD with a pinfall, winning the match.

Match#2- Rusev vs Woods/Truth.
Woods was taken out of the match right off the bat before the bell, leaving this to be a singles match. Rusev then got the win by a tap out.

Match#3- Barrett vs Big E.  This was for the Intercontinental Championship.
Barrett had to survive a tournament over the last few weeks to get to this match, and he got the pin becoming the I.C. champ once more.

Match#4- Evolution vs Shield.
Roman Reigns got the win over Batista with a spear, giving this to the Shield. But, the cost was both Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose getting crushed from a very ECW like move, when Rollins dove off the balcony onto Triple H, Orton and his own partner Ambrose. (wasn't that something New Jack did way back in the day?) 
This was a great length match, at roughly 25 minutes, with a lot of suicide dives from Rollins, and more then a few times it looked like Ambrose was about to pass out, while Reigns had a few moments of his own where it seemed he was toaster caked. There was an impressive run on the table tops by Ambrose, which I honestly thought he was going to trip as he ran from the one announce booth to the second one and then leaped over the guard rail into the pit. 

Match #5- Cena vs Bray Wyatt in a steel cage.
After many attempts to get out of the cage, it looked like Cena was about to make it out, when the lights went off and a creepy little kid appeared lip syncing into a microphone a slowed down version of Wyatt's song.  Children are creepy by default.... This gave Wyatt the chance to knock out Cena and escape the cage himself for the win. 

Match #6- women's match. I didn't pay attention.

Match #7-  The Main Event, Daniel Bryan vs Kane for the Heavyweight title.
This was an Extreme Rules match. 
At one point, Bryan had Kane out in the back of the building, and used a forklift to bring him back in to the ring. Impressive.
Kane brought out the tables and fire cans, but he himself ended up going through it. This gave Bryan a chance to get the win and keep his title.

You would think by this point, the announce team would just come out and sit hunched over a small bon fire or something instead of using the booth on a ppv, given every single time their booth get's flattened.
And by now, you know with me It's All About The Shield! So their win was a loved moment.

Till later
love Ardeth Blood
