Thats what happened last year but One Night Stand 08 was very good in my opinion. However, there's still no reason what so ever to have that much time to build towards any PPV. I really do believe the E should get rid of JD

I'm guessing there might be a Hell in a Cell or TLC as one of the major "Extreme Rules" match-type on the PPV.KevyR

Unless Trips returns and faces Orton, I don't think HIAC will make an appearance. On the other hand, I can see Hardy/Edge JD rematch in TLC, which I desperately want to see

 Oh yeah, Taker vs. Edge. Any other guesses what the major match-type that they'll try to sell us into buying?!

I would say Turk130's guess of a possible TLC match between Jeff and Edge would be a good place to start with the speculation.Link256

What about Matt Hardy? Didn't he get involved last night? I'm sure the WWE will bend the rule of the draft "exclusive to their brand" and put maybe Matt Hardy into the mix.

I do not know? They could always go a 3-way TLC? Or a tag-team TLC match?

I would love to see a 'Barbwire Steel Cage Match' and I mean a proper one, not like Show/JBL from NWO 05. I'm a mark for those matches but seeing as though the E are PG, I don't think that would happen any time soon. If there's any that I don't want to see its 'LMS' and 'First Blood' where they don't actually bleed, like last years between Cena/JBL.

What about an 'Iron-man Match', its been a while since we've had one of them

Turk130

Wait... there was a First Blood match were nobody bleed? How did that end? Was it fake blood? Or did end in a no contest?

What about an 'Iron-man Match', its been a while since we've had one of them

Turk130

I don't think that constitute "Extreme Rules" since basically if you use a weapon, you get disqualified, unless they decided that match will be anything goes, Iron Man match.

Turk130

Good reason why that is the case. Iron-Man matches just do not get over with your average consumer.

The finish of last years 'First Blood' match had Cena get his metal chain which he wears, put it round JBL's throat and put him in the STFU where JBL bled from the mouth. However, it was so obvious that it was a blood capsule and the camera didn't even stay on JBL's face for a few seconds. As soon as Cena let go of the hold, they cut away from JBL's face, it was so bad and lame

Turk130

So, worked internal bleeding? Lame.

If you are going do a First Blood match, have them bleed from the forehead. It may be "predictable," but it works, plain and simple.

Now that I think about it, there's nothing really Extreme about an 'Iron Man Match', except for the length. The only reason I suggested it was because I can't think of any other big-time gimmick matches. I mean, HIAC they won't do cos lets face it Taker or Trips aren't around, LMS we had at Backlash and the Elimination Chamber we had at NWO. The only matches I can think of is TLC and Cage Matches

I think this time if they are going for a Cage, put a roof on it, raise the cage a little higher and filled it with weapons inside. I think the WWE needs to do something different with their Steel Cage matches.

Just because they had LMS match at Backlash, does not necessarily mean they will not do it again at Extreme Rules. It was last year, or the year before that, where they had 2 different LMS matches only 2 or 3 months apart. If I remember correctly, that was the same year they did that is where they had at least 4 different LMS matches within the same year.

2007: Cena/Umaga LMS Royal Rumble 07, Taker/Batista LMS Backlash 07 and Trips/Orton No Mercy 07

And I know that they've done that before but I just really don't want see another one this soon. I mean what are they, TNA?

Turk130

For the record, neither do I. I am just talking about could happen, not what I want to see.

Any guesses on what other matches will be on the card? My guesses would be:

John Morrison and a partner vs. WGTT, I bet.

Kane vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Chris Jericho

Something with Miz and Cena?!

Christian vs. Tommy Dreamer? (His contract is up in June something, so they could throw this in.)

KevyR

Well, ya know there is bound to be some sort of Batista-Orton match.

Which is basically what they did last year, and with there only being 2 weeks of build to work with, is about the only thing they can do.

As it has been mentioned before, the current PPV schedule is ****ed. They could stand loose a PPV or two.

But you know Vince, he just won't in anyway shape of form get rid of any PPV's

Not necessarily.

They got rid of New Year's Revolution, despite the fact the PPV always received solid numbers.

It may have been solid when it came to numbers, but I personally though that NYR was always a mediocre show. I know that it only lasted three years, but still, the only memorable thing to happen on any NYR show was Edge's first title win, after that I have a hard time naming anything else

John Morrison and a partner vs. WGTT, I bet.

KevyR

See, this is watch you should pay attention to SmackDown. They basically just did that match last week, with CM Punk as John Morrison's partner. :P

I have been watching Smackdown! I know they had Punk as his partner last time but I'm saying Punk might still continue his fued with Umaga. They just toss Umaga back into the fold, and I'm thinking they'll go further with that. We still didn't get an explanation as to why Umaga attack Punk, of all guys. I just see Morrison and a new partner vs. WGTT in some sort of Extreme Rules.

Turk130

Other than it being the pay-per-view that featured the Elimination Chamber in the 2005 and 2006 events, it did feature the Umaga-Cena LMS, which was generally positively praised.

Otherwise, I have to agree. To me, it was just filler, until Royal Rumble time hit.

Link256

That was Royal Rumble :P But you're right in thinking that they faced each other at NYR, cos that was Umaga's first ever loss in WWE...oh...look at that, I do know some history about this PPV :P

[QUOTE="Link256"]See, this is watch you should pay attention to SmackDown. They basically just did that match last week, with CM Punk as John Morrison's partner. :PKevyR

Otherwise, the reason I was mention that, is what sense does it make do a PPV match, when the WWE just did on free television?

(Than again, the WWE does that sort of thing all of the time, with Kane-Punk being one of the lastest examples of that point).

Whatever the case, if they do that match, who do you think John Morrison's partner might be?

Link256

I'm not too sure. Is there anybody worthy of being John Morrison's partner? Could be Punk again if they all of sudden drop the Umaga-Punk rivalry.

[QUOTE="Link256"]It did feature the Umaga-Cena LMS, which was generally positively praised.Turk130

Otherwise, that would be another strike against NYR, for a PPV that already had strikes against to begin with. :P
