JR’s Extreme Rules Predictions


Jim Ross posted his predictions for Sunday’s Extreme Rules pay-per-view. Below is an excerpt:
Cody Rhodes, if you weeill, hasn’t won many bouts since growing the ‘stache and he won’t Sunday either vs. The Miz. This is on the pregame show. (Have you heard about the WWE app?? Watch the pregame there)

Chris Jericho beats Fandango in what will surprise some.

Mark Henry will whip Sheamus’ achromatic hide like a Government Mule with a leather strap made in Idaho and will then touch all 4 ring posts to win in controversial fashion.

The Shield win the WWE Tag Titles over Team Hell No. Reigns beats Kane for the deciding fall.

Dean Ambrose wins the United States Title vs. Kofi Kingston in a match that could eventually push Kofi over the proverbial edge. Can Ambrose restore luster to the US Title?

Randy Orton won’t lose in his hometown, one would assume, but we all know what occurs when we assume. Nonetheless, I’m going with Rockin’ Randall but somewhat reluctantly.

Will Jack Swagger tap to Alberto Del Rio’s cross armbreaker OR could Ricardo Rodriguez throw in the towel ala Arnold Skaaland for Bob Backlund years ago to cause Swagger to win? Hmmm…don’t see the newly minted hero ADR losing but stranger things have happened.

Ryback takes advantage of John Cena’s tender heel/Achilles and snatches victory out of the jaws of defeat to become the NEW, WWE Champion!! (In The Fink’s voice)

Been pondering the Steel Cage match scenario for a few days and I keep coming back to BA-ROCK….LES-NAR!! w/ the help of Paul Heyman winning the rubber match over HHH. The Meyer Lansky of WWE, @HeymanHustle, seemingly has as much on the line here as BA-ROCK….LES-NAR as Dr Heyman-stein and his monster win in the city that Muchnick built.

Wow…according to me it sounds like it may be a long night for the fan favorites on PPV Sunday night but a little antagonist angst makes for interesting television as in a hot, Monday Night Raw in Kansas City.

St Louis will be sold out Sunday Night which is always great and enhances the work rate of everyone involved especially if the crowd is emotionally invested in the proceedings. Look for some “sleeper” performances by some talents who have the golden opportunity to take another step forward as they maximize their minutes. Opportunity awaits and I wonder who will seize it?

Guessing we are due a couple of shockers as the build to Summer Slam unofficially gets underway Sunday night, too. (Could the Black Scorpion return to STL to the infamous scene of an old crime?)

Broadcasters Cole, JBL and The King should have a productive night as the matches are generally unique and there are some compelling stories to tell with the goal, as always, being to tell compelling stories and enhance everyone who steps into the ring while being entertainingly witty with their repartee.
The Mrs. and I will be watching from the comfort of our Norman home on PPV and I’m looking forward to seeing what fans are talking about once the PPV has concluded.
