Page 1 of 2 The following is the second batch of the "Extreme Rules" WZ reader feedback.

The following is from Kenny I thought last night's pay per view event, Extreme Rules (or as I like to call it 'Xtreme Rulz'), was, to quote Borat, a "great success." The opening match saw Kofi Kingston being awesome. Which is always a great thing to pay 40 dollars to see. CM Punk vs. Samoa Joe in the texas bullrope match was adequate if not good. No, it was good. I like Umanga's new "cultured" attitude. He is no longer the savage he once was. I noticed that his entrance to the ring was less animalistic and more humanized. No divas match was a little disappointing to me. I would have liked to see Kelly Kelly Kelly vs Maurice for the purple butterfly belt. But que sera, sera. Jericho vs REYREY was fantastic. I had low expectations for this bout due to the fact that Rey Mysterio was in it, but it was great. Remember in WCW when he had his mask taken off? Neither do I. Another great match was the ECW title bout. I really thought Tommy Dreamer was going to not win for some reason. But he did and it was great. I'm so very proud of him. Will he continue to wrestle? Retire and set up an awesome tournament for the belt? TAKE THE BELT TO TNA?! My vote is tournament. Santina Marella vs Vickie Guerrero was hilarious. Those pigs did not want to be there. It made me laugh and that was the point. No Phineas I. Godwinnn run-in was a bit of a let down. Batista won. Great. I found out later that he is injured. Maybe he will forfeit the belt and they will have a tournament. Tournaments all around! Actually I didn't even watch this match. That is how much I care about the Raw main event. Way to go, Freddy Prinze Jr. I don't care if you work there anymore or not. I'm blaming you for this one. John Cena vs. The Big Show was lackluster. I was really excited for this match because I think John Cena is amazing. The only thing that ruined it was the botched spot at the end. Because the only draw of the match was how was he going to put the STF(U) on Big Show? Then the "creative" way of doing it didn't even work and they didn't have a backup plan. What a stinker. Also I just want to point out how weird looking Big Show is. Jeff Hardy vs Edge. Ladder match. If I had a time machine I would go back in time and tell my 14 year old self that some day there will be a pay per view headlined by this match. He'll be really excited. I thought the match was good. I dont really remember anything that happened. Oh the ending was great with Jeff Hardy pulling Edge through the ladder. Nice work. CM Punk cashing in Money In The Bank was exciting as well. At first it was all like oh maybe he wont win, but then he did. Pretty cool, different things happening as fast as possible is a good way to go in my opinion. Just stay so many steps ahead of yourselves that you lap your own past. (and future?) Out of five stars I give tonight's Xtreme Rulz PPV a rating of trying to decide if watching Jeff Hardy jumping off something high is as much fun as touching a boob over a shirt. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following is from Ghislain I thought the PPV was a good idea but lately the titles change hands way too often and begins to resemble WCW. I mean I like title changes but when theres a good story with it. Come on Jeff Hardy (the best deserving champion they got) wins the title and looses it 5 minutes later to CM Punk who I think is average. Edge is like a 9 times world champion but for a combined 9 month reign. Which I think is a shame as he is the best wrestler since Bret Hart. The Extreme Rules weren’t that extreme, I know they want to reach to a younger audience but a fatal four way ain’t extreme, neither is a samoan strap match or a submission match. Also there wasn’t a women’s championship match, I know they sometimes are boring, but if you want them to be better you need to give em exposure, and why have 2 womens title if you don’t use em, scrap the titles and bring back the European title, they need to use Santino better he is way more entertaining then CM Punk. Christian showed he can be a Main Eventer like always, if they wanted to take off the title on Edge (the greatest wrestler of all time) they should have give it to Christian. It’s Batista’s 5 World Heavyweight title win, and it looks to be a shorter than the last one
I give the PPV a 6.5 out of ten, they could have had a great PPV if they would have included some real Extreme rules (Barbwire cage match, TLC, first blood, Hell in a cell etc those are real extreme matches)

The following is from Kyle
The PPV was missing John Morrison's flair, and CM Punk is boring. I think it's lame that CM Punk has had 3 major titles now, and he doesn't do anything except act straight edge... YAWN. John Cena vs Big Show was good, but John Cena vs the Miz would be more entertaining. The Tommy Dreamer storyline was cute, but ECW needs more hardcore matches. I think the Batista storyline has something else to it... WWE Needs to have more stables, and building up Legacy a little more will help that. Hopefully Orton wins it back soon.

The following is from Beverly
I thought the card as a whole was pretty decent! I was extremely happy that Kofi got to keep his title. I would have seen it as pretty stupid if he had won it just to lose it.
