Alrighty. I also think CM Punk could cash in tonight.

He won't. 

But if he does, he won't win the title. After Jeff, Edge is either gonna move onto feuding with Jericho, or actually have Punk say he's going to cash it in and they'll buid the feud and match after that ala RVD's MITB.

There has been way too much build of Punk trying to steal it from Edge for it to not happen. This Ladder Match is the perfect opprotunity for it to happen for Punk.

Here's how you will know if Punk is going to cash in or not. If he loses to Umaga, he won't cash it in. 

If you've noticed, the storyline explanation for him not cashing it in can be that he's lost his match and isn't able to or ready to cash it in later in the night.

I know Jericho didn't have the MitB, but he basically did the same thing. Since Punk was drafted to Smackdown, he has been trying to capture the WWE Championship, and since Edge will more than likely be annihilated after his match with Hardy, Punk could very likely cash in and steal it. Again. I only hope that Umaga wins his match against Punk so he isn't buried and forgotten.

Yeah, but they played it off like Edge wanted to lose or didn't try hard enough.

When it comes down to Edge/Jericho, the fans cheer a lot for Edge so it's a doable heel vs. heel feud. 

So, who all is watching Extreme Rules?Link256

I may watch it. In other ways than I can say.

So, who all is watching Extreme Rules?Link256

We're getting it free over here in the UK again, so definitely

As per usual.

...Still, this really isn't a good idea, staying up until 4AM to watch when I have all my exams this week to determine whether I'll get to University.

As per usual, I'm streaming because I don't have the channel that it's being aired on over here. I'm used to it now anyways :lol:

Can't you not just watch it in the morning? Thats what I'm doing, taping it then waiting till I get up. Like you said, I can't be bothered to stay up that late :P

Maybe. It will depend

Edited by Link256

And now, to see what facts I can make up for this little PPV...

- Excluding being a lumberjack in the Unified Tag Team Championship match at WrestleMania 25, the last time Tommy Dreamer appeared in a PPV was last year's Great American Bash, fighting Mark Henry for the ECW Championship.

- This will be Jeff Hardy's 7th challenge for either the WWE or World Heavyweight Championship since the Championship Scramble at Unforgiven last year.

- Edge on the other hand has STILL been involved in EVERY WWE/WHC match [except for cases where he's been injured, and SummerSlam 2008] since Backlash 2007.

- Santina Marella has appeared at more PPV's in 2009 than Santino.

- Redders still hasn't stopped listening to last year's One Night Stand theme song.

Is it not technically illegal to be talking about that stuff on GameSpot? :?

If you provide a link in a forum, yes it is. If you PM an individual, no.

btw, I'm in the process of updating my last post with some facts about the PPV.

Just for talking about it and admitting you use streams is against TOS and will get you moderated. Also, you WILL get moderated for doing the same in private messages and will probably get a nice temp ban for providing links to a stream. Trust me, we've had this problem before and mods have made it clear to us about this issue.

So don't talk about or be smart enought to use different words and hide what you really mean. The most popular is "I will be watching it, one way or the other," or the ever popular, "I'll be watching it, through nefarious means, mwahahahaha..."

If you don't believe me about the private messages part, then just imagine a mod seeing your post about sending the link to someone and then all they have to do is check it sometime to see if you did. Also, the other person could report the message and get you in trouble. 

In fact, if your name was Chicago_Nut, I'd probably report you right now.

Serial? Dang. Looks like I need to read through those TOS a little better :lol:

I do not want the union potentially getting in trouble, so follow sephy's words.

I thought so...

I do not want the union potentially getting in trouble, so follow sephy's words.

Link256

I have, hence removing the stuff I mentioned regarding it earlier.

For the record, just do not DIRECTLY mention that stuff, such as using the word "steam," or posting/requesting website links, and such. However, generalizations such as "I am not ordering but watching," for example, are perfectly acceptable.

I know sephy, more or less, has already said this, but I wanted to make the point clear. No DIRECT discussion. Generalization would be the idea.

Matches and winners

1 Randy Orton (c) vs. Batista Orton

2 John Cena vs. The Big Show Cena

3 Edge (c) vs. Jeff Hardy Edge

4 Rey Mysterio (c) vs. Chris Jericho Mysterio via DQ

5 CM Punk vs. Umaga Umaga via pin

6 Vickie Guerrero vs. Santina Marella Santina

7 Christian (c) vs. Tommy Dreamer vs. Jack Swagger Christian via pin

8 Kofi Kingston (c) vs. Montel Vontavious Porter vs. William Regal vs. Matt Hardy Kingston via pin

Gotcha. But let's get back to tonight.

I still think Dreamer's gonna be denied a winning send-off, which is a shame really.

Also, is there any news of what is so "extreme" about the fatal four-way yet?

Also, is there any news of what is so "extreme" about the fatal four-way yet?Redders1989

a) unwritten rule that the match will be no-DQ

b) last minute stipulation

c) WWE does not care

...that is, unless I am missing something?

So what does everyone think will be the best match?

I'm leaning towards Rey/Jericho and Edge/Jeff. Punk/Umaga could be the sleeper match since I know how well Punk performs in gimmick matches revolving around a strap, chain, or dog collar.

Identifies the current champion. I do that rather than (c).

Well... so much for "extreme" there.
