I'm thinking Brock was told to be stiff, but no one expected him to be that stiff. And that bump where he went over the ropes was just freaking crazy. It was scary to watch. That match made me feel like any move could hurt Cena. Any punch could knock him out for real. That feeling can be a good thing, if they can keep people feeling it, but being able to have control of it and know that Brock's not going to really hurt anyone. To be honest, Brock nearly hurt himself worse than he would of ever hurt Cena. Cena could have accidentally been knocked out, or split open. But Brock almost broke his freaking neck. I bet someone had to pick Vince up off the floor when Brock tumbled over the ropes. I think Brock will likely wear the gloves until he relearns to throw softer punches. He may never relearn that. Taker still wears gloves and I always remember Shamrock wearing gloves.

The match of the night was not sheamus vs Bryan. Cena and Brock put on the match of their lives. I respectfully disagree.

For some reason, I sort of wish we saw the old Brock Lesnar when he was first in the WWE, but I guess that's improbable now as he's lost that experience and youth since those times. Still a great match.

ing loved the PPV. Was really not expecting much from Lesner/Cena, well didn't know what to expect but it sure passed my expectations. Enjoyed most of the matches with the Exclusion of Cray with Hornswaggle...please get off my TV. Wished Bryan won the title but still great match. Hope to see him at Summerslam (I'm going). Favorite match was Punk vs Y2J. Great back and forth "whos going to win?" edge of my seat action. Where as the main event was more "holy cena is ed up" edge of my seat action.

This Pay-Per-View was damn near perfect. I was entertained by every single match.
The booking to the main event was genius, from top to bottom.
My only complaint was Brock was WAY too dangerous. If he's going to be around all year, that's needs to be fixed...fast.

Just got back a little while ago. Man, it was a fun ppv. They really outdo themselves when they come into Chicago.

Just finished watching the ppv. Looked back a couple threads .....I'm surprised no-one noticed Cena mentioning his bicep till the he was leaving the ring.
He said it a bunch of times after he got the pin. As soon as the refs and medic dude jumped in the ring...He said "my bicep, i tore my bicep". Than he mouthed the F word.
I honestly had low expectations. I was only interested because the Sheamus/Bryan match was a 2 out of 3 falls match. And just to see Lesnar's ring return.
im BLOWN AWAY.
Lesnar basically got away w/ Assault.....on live tv.
Who in the world is dumb enough to agree to get in a feud w/ Brock after seeing those elbows. Not to mention a clothesline that would put half the roster in a hospital.
the filler matches were kind of necessary....I needed to chill after seeing such great matches.
my only real complaint is WWE gave us ANOTHER pin in the center of the ring....in a FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE match. They do it almost everytime. They battle around the arena, only to finish in the ring.

I think they always end falls count anywhere matches in the ring so everyone can see the ending....while they are in other parts of the arena, from your seat, you can't see it unless you look at the video screen, and if if people wanted to pay to see it on a screen I'm sure they'd rather stay home and pay less than the ticket price.

Why did Sheamus won? He's boring imo! Ryback vs the 2 is better then 1 was pretty cool Cody is the new IC Champ...YES! YES! YES! Hopefully WWE not change it at Over the Limit. CM Punk vs Jericho, Orton vs Kane and Lesnar vs Cena was AWESOME!! Layla is back! And she's the new Divas Champion. YEEEEEEES!

I kinda wish WWE would have gone against the typical at the end there... By typical I mean the babyface getting his ass kicked for most of the match just to pull off an improbable last second comeback win. It would have been awesome if Brock had reversed the AA and just F-5ed him right on the steps. Oh well. I guess Cena had to have redemption for his brand after losing to The Rock.

From looking at all the feedback for this PPV on here, Twitter and other forums, it seems as though Cena has gained A TON of respect from some of the Cena haters. That post-match promo by John was pretty great and the main event itself was fantastic.
Oh and this show was so amazing on so many levels. MITB 2011-esque.

Just got back a few hours ago. What a show! It felt like half my section was doing the "GOLDBERG" chant for Ryback, lol.

That beatdown was rediculous.
It made Cena look like a weak piece of s**t. Cena should have given Brock heat and a good beatdown to return the favor.
Regaurdless of the finish, Brock shouldnt have retreated like that.
I chalk that one up to booking, and unless theres an alterior motive, which there seems to be, Cena for once should have spoken up about not getting a big enough shine.
But I cant believe this is the end of this feud. I mean, I can, because this is WWE and nothing ever ends with the payoff that it should, but still.

It makes no sense at all. If you're going to build Lesnar as this Ultimate machine that not only can wrestle but is a monster of a 'real' fighter aswell, then to have him Loose after beating the hell out of Cena makes no sense at all, especially if Cena is taking time off now. If you're going to book him like that then you need people to think there is no way anyone can beat this guy... but Cena went and won clean in his first attempt.

Great PPV, really liked it.
I agree with the guy above this post regarding Cena.

I don't get the whole "Cena should have lost if he's taking time off" to me, he seemed legit injured, he seemed to know it was bad so would be away for a while, I don't think it's his choice.
And to me Cena winning makes sense,so I'm okay with it.

I havent read this thread yet, but amazing show, defiantly the best WWE one ive ever been to. The crowd was on fire the whole night and although Punk got the biggest pop, I think Bryans match had the most consistent crowd activity. I cant even decide my favorite match right now. I will say one thing, Cena earned so much respect for me last night, and by the end I was hoping he would win.
There was a really funny part where a loud smark in the back kept screaming in a 2008 Jericho style promo calling everyone in Chicago various adjectives and finally a 5 year old turns around and says "SUCK IT!" The people around us burst into laughter, except for the kids parents.
When I was leaving I saw a group of about a dozen fans outside a fence screaming YES, YES, YES! So I went over and saw Daniel Bryan in his car, literally less than ten feet away! Before leaving, Bryan got out of his car and gave the fans one more YES! before gettin back in and leaving. That put a great end to the day for me and this PPV was one of the best days ive had this year.

Well, the sudden win can be chalked up to this sense of realism or "legitimacy" WWE is trying to invoke and put over. Cena's win was very UFC-like where the match took a complete 360 after everything Cena went through. And I cant stress enough to everyone else to not let your guard down nowadays as far as this Cena "injury" goes. Same goes for Beth. Going back to the "legitimacy" thing, all it really says to me is to not believe a single thing you see on WWE programming for the time being, no matter how real it seems. Always look at all angles and perspectives, even if they clash with what you would normally think or like to believe. Obviously it sounds silly telling wrestling fans not to believe what they see, but you also obviously know what I mean by that. Upcoming shoots are probably worked, is the best way to put it.

So, let me get this straight here, just so I understand it. Brock Lesnar returns to the WWE after 8 long damn years. He is brought back to "bring legitimacy to the WWE" and has his first match back against John Cena. It's an "Extreme Rules" match, but keep in mind, Lesnar is a former UFC Heavyweight champion and you can't get more real or extreme than that. Lesnar then loses said "Extreme Rules" match to arguably the fakest wrestler there is, in his first match back. Nice...Really nice WWE...Nice way to "bring legitimacy back to the WWE" by having a former UFC champ lose in an "extreme rules" match in his first match back after 8 years...I just don't get it. That makes as much sense as The Rock winning at WrestleMania. It was completely ass-backwards. I saw the ending to that match and it looked SO awkward and ing fake, that I can't believe it. What exactly was Lesnar going for when he bounced off the ropes and jumped over the steps at Cena?? What the hell was he trying to do?? Lol... I'm sorry, but that spot looked SO stupid and phony as all hell, I almost laughed while Lesnar was doing it. I just don't know what Lesnar was trying to do by doing that...Lol... Well, now that Brock Lesnar continues his losing ways since leaving UFC, I have no idea where he goes from here....I sure as hell don't see him as the serious threat anymore after losing to Cena, so I don't have a clue what's next for him and to be honest, I don't even care at this point...I can't take their product seriously when stuff like that actually happens, so I won't be watching tonight on Raw to see what lies ahead for Lesnar. He just returned and already he's damaged goods. Seeing as he's a former UFC Heavyweight champ and can't beat Cena in an "extreme rules" match, how can anyone take him as a serious threat after that?? What a waste....Typical WWE...I really should've seen that one coming...

Stop complaining about a product you don't watch, and return to the MMA board where you're equally as annoying.
