Jim Ross Blogs on the Extreme Rules PPV

JR says Smackdown rules, and after last night, it’s hard to argue with him…
- JR shared some thoughts on last night's Extreme Rules PPV, here are the highlights:
* Seemed like, biased opinion, Smackdown had the 2 best bouts of the nite. The IC Title match and the Ladder match. Duh.
* Rey vs. Jericho was excellent. Two highly skilled, SD talents who help make Friday nights fun. I could watch these two men wrestle every night.
* Edge vs Jeff was the match of the night. The bar has been raised so high on these types of bouts that I don't know what some hardcore fans expect but on a personal level, I loved this one. The risks these guys took were amazing and uncomfortable to witness so up close.
* The Punk cashing in on the Money in the Bank contract completely surprised me. Some will like it, some might not but it certainly had fans I spoke with talking. Where all this goes has my interest. I'm happy it will be on Friday nights.
* Happy I wasn't involved in the Hog Pen business. Whew. Once (Hershey, PA) is enough. It smelled like I was at a FFA function. That would be Future Farmers of America.
The Ladder match was very good but i liked Rey-Jericho more.

Very true. I've heard people complaining the ladder match didn"t meet their expectations and they were dissapointed. WTF... do these guys need to kill themselves these days to impress some fans. Some of those spots, I thought were going to lead to some serious damage. Good match as was jericho vs Rey.... no surprise there.

My match of the night was definately the Edge vs Jeff Hardy ladder match as there were so many different high spots in this bout that it's hard to pick out just 1 defining moment. My other fave was Rey vs Jericho. As for the moronic idiocy that was the Hog Pen Match all I have to say is Vickie's an assclown, has no business being in wrestling and this sham of a match sucked as bad as I said it would.

"I could watch these two men wrestle every night. "
as creative the creative team has been with these two, JR, you just might have to watch these 2 every episode.
