I'm glad you had Bayley vs Alexa Bliss in 2017 on this list. I was at Extreme Rules 2017 and that match pissed me off. The entire feud was bad, "This is Your Life." The whole storyline was Alexa saying "Bayley can't get extreme." And Alexa was validated. I remember thinking "Why isn't Bayley hitting her with the kendo stick?" The match and feud ruined Bayley on the main roster. And she never fully recovered as a babyface. Granted I like her more as a heel now, but it took a long time to get here.

I can unironically say that Henry O. Godwinn vs. Hunter Hearst Helmsley in 1995 was the best Hog Pen Match of all time.

Love your lists, but you missed some major plot points with that tables match. The match was determined by spinning a wheel, and when it landed on a tables match, Big Show laughed and wished Cody luck trying to put him through a table. That storytelling alone made the finish even more fantastic. But then after the match, Big Show tossed Cody through a table in a great spot, and then Cody got up on his own accord to sort of protect his character. It wasn't a great match by any means, but it worked.

ROFL what

Vince McMahon: born on 3rd, and convinced everyone he somehow hit a Grand Slam.

Wow, no mention of Bray Wyatt vs John Cena in the Steel Cage at Extreme Rules 2014? That was one of the biggest trainwrecks of over-booking I've ever seen. I still can't get over how bad that match was. It was sold on the idea that the cage would prevent the Wyatt Family from interfering, yet they interfered at numerous points in the match anyway. WWE booked it so that Cena would've won at numerous points had it not been for Harper/Rowan's interference, reinforcing how beneath Cena's level Bray was. Cena single-handedly kicked all three of their asses after the Wyatts had been established as the most dominant faction in the company, beating The Shield twice in a row. And then it ends with hocus pocus nonsense where a child speaks in slow motion and scares Cena for Bray to capitalize. I think this match cemented Bray's downfall from that point on because it was clear that WWE was willing to sacrifice his potential to keep Cena looking better. Awful match!

the way adam's tangent kind of sadly trails off before he stops himself mid-sentence and just says to the Bayley-Bliss match "kiss my ass" is so god damned funny.

Big Show stepping through the table is almost as great as Raimel Tapia of the Blue Jays hitting an inside-the-park Grand Slam against the Red Sox because the Sox's outfielder lost the ball in the lights and it landed by the wall, way behind him. Look up that clip, it has the same vibe.

After 2012, Extreme Rules really dipped in quality. 2011 was the last time it really lived up to its billing imo. Every match had a stipulation, and almost all of them delivered (Country Whipping Match, Loser Leaves WWE match, and Lumberjack match be damned). Btw, Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne had a better version of the Ambrose Ayslum than Ambrose and Jericho did. Never thought I would type those words.

As a longtime wrestling fan, I can safely say the crowd in the 2018 ironman match (the crowd, NOT the match) is one of the most infuriating moments for me. At the time, it made me horrendously angry. But it's like Adam called them: Toddlers

Another great list from Adam Blampied, after seeing number one it makes me relieved that HHH is running creative and WWE being under new management since now we don't have to worry about Vince bringing up NXT people, screwing with what made them good and treating them like rookies as if NXT never existed.

Extreme rules in the last 5 years hasn’t been extreme like the last time extreme rules was good was 2016 like as bad as the asylum match was at least it had thumbtacks that was more extreme than anything on these extreme rules events over the past 5 years

Now that WWE has Triple H in creative control let’s see how this years Extreme Rules turn out.

Every non extreme rules match on extreme rules PPV should be on this list

You know the Ironman match sucks when the timer is the most over part of it.

Cena vs Big Show Submission ending was creative, you gotta admit. And the buildup served it's purpose. So a good old memory for me.

The tables match ending actully worked with the story.

Tony D' and Pete Dunne had a better "Ambrose Asylum" this year than Dean and Jericho

I’ve only ever known Jon Moxley. When I hear the ghost stories of Dean Ambrose I have a hard time seeing my champ as such a schmuck 😂

Do Top 10 “less extreme” extreme rules 🙏

They should have gone with the idea of Seth losing one eye in that match and then spending the following months insisting that this meant he was 'blind,' and then acting like Ron Burgundy in Anchorman 2 and doing things that would only make sense if he'd lost all his other senses too. Someone: "Seth, why did you keep punching him? The match was over, couldn't you hear the ringbell?" Seth wearing one eye patch: "Oh, did you not realise! Had I not made it clear? I'm buh-liiiiind!"

I think there is no bigger indictment on the way WWE treated the character of Dean Ambrose than LittleKuriboh's own nickname of the guy, "Animated Cartoon Chipmunk Dean Ambrose".

*halfway through the list* Jeez there's a LOT of Big Show on this list... *At the end of the list* You know I never thought I'd say this but I kinda miss Big Show

I did my poor attempt at math and found that whoever purchased Extreme Rules 2009; Paid about 3 and a half dollars for that Pigpen match.

The fans didn't like that Ironman Match if I had to venture a guess...

That was such a good end to that table match

had to keep looking at the title to make sure i wasnt watching a top 10 worst big show matches

One Nite Stand was the best concept for Extreme Rules 06-08

This PPV is made for TV14, having PG TV and trying to make something extreme is impossible.

I still remember the WhatCulture reaction to the Bayley Kendo Stick match. “I mean…Bayley was afraid of a stick” Classic stuff

As someone who's not a fan of Dolph or Seth I was very pleasantly surprised by their Ironman match, their performance was great, but dear god the crowd soured me so hard on it. I finally found a match involving these 2 that I like and the crowd murdered it stone dead

An on the pole match could be good, but a guy named Vince probably ruined it for everyone. His over booking of them led to Baylie being too traumatized to work one.

Cena vs Bray Wyatt in 2014 will always be the worst match for me. It basically showed that one man (Cena) can not only destroy Bray Wyatt but the entire family all by himself; a feat that the team of the Shield couldn’t do. Not only was the match insufferably boring, but it had one of the worst endings with that kid coming out to sing and distract Cena. That made the Wyatts die a death similar to the Nexus

Vince was honestly the worst

Feel bad for jericho and moxley in that asylum match. The tack spot is just brutual and works for extreme reasons but then the rest of the match... eh.

If you're still undecided as to whether or not Vince McMahon was a genius, just keep in mind that he booked the #1 on this list. He sat down, looked at his writers, and said "We need to make sure the audience knows that this dumb Bayley girl is a complete loser because she's _nice,_ and that means she's _weak,_ too afraid of hurting people to even pick up a weapon." And they all nodded their heads and said "Yes boss". Oh, and AEW manages to fit more "extreme" wrestling on an average episode of Dynamite than WWE can on an entire PP-sorry, "premium live event".

Gutted we didn't get any Adam air guitar "Extreeeeeeeme!"

I’m really excited about Extreme Rules this year. It looks like every match is gonna have some sort of “extreme” stipulation and not only that but the stipulations correlate with the storytelling.

My worst extreme rules matches and I’m including one night stand Braun strowman vs bray Wyatt swamp fight 2020 Candice Michelle vs Melina in a pudding match 2007 Seth Rollins vs Rey Mysterio eye for an eye 2020 Bayley vs Alexa bliss kendo stick on a pole match 2017 Vickie Guerrero vs Santina Marella hog pen match 2009 Bobby lashley vs Vince McMahon 2007 Beth Phoenix vs Michelle mccool extreme makeover match 2010 Jack swagger and Michael Cole vs jr and king country whipping match 2011 Sheamus vs dolph ziggler kiss me arse match 2015

While the Swamp Fight definitely deserves to be in the top 5, there's no way it was worse than that embarrassing hogpen match and a Michael Cole match. As for the Iron Man match, I kinda believe it should be higher on the list due to the fact that the crowd being childish and the match being disappointing has kept another Iron Man match from happening on the main roster ever since.

honestly match finishes like what happened in big show vs rhodes can work to protect or extend feuds a lot better than the stuff they do now
