Extreme Rules Review

With the 2012 Extreme Rules pay-per-view out of the way, it’s time to mentally regroup and examine just how good the show really was. For a show that we expected little from, this was fantastic.

Question on Everybody's Mind: How was this so good?

From Kane and Randy Orton to open the show to John Cena and Lesnar closing it out, this was one of the best executed PPVs in a long time. Add in the Chicago crowd and the excitement level was through the roof.

Ring Rust Radio’s Take

Most fans expected CM Punk and Chris Jericho to put on a great show, but the Cena-Lesnar bout stole the show. Say what you want about Brock Lesnar, but he is great in the ring at what he does.

Raw Chatter

With an awkward post-Extreme Rules promo leading us to believe that John Cena would be missing time with an injury, fans were stunned to find out that the star would be back on Raw the next night…and star a new feud!

Question on Everybody's Mind: Was John Cena’s speech a work?

It’s so hard to tell anymore. With the rise of what has been deemed the Reality Era in wrestling, the WWE has tried to get over on fans whenever they can. The company has reportedly used dirt sheets as a way to get back at the fans and work them as well.

Ring Rust Radio’s Take

No matter if this was supposed to happen or not, it has the world talking and that’s really all the WWE wants. The RRR boys talk about what’s next heading out of Raw and Extreme Rules and into Over the Limit.

Brock Lesnar’s Tantrum, Extreme Reunion and More

With the intrigue surrounding the WWE and the changes they are making, the movement away from TNA as they are continuing to be terrible and the selling success of a show like Extreme Reunion in Philadelphia, it looks like it’s time for the rise of another federation.

Question on Everybody's Mind: Is there a wrestling revolution brewing?

Brock Lesnar made every fan who saw Extreme Rules stand in shock as he beat the hell out of John Cena. That kind of extreme beat down is the kind of thing that wrestling has missed for a few years.

Ring Rust Radio’s Take

Just like there was a wrestling revolution in the early '80s and again in the late '90s, we may be on the cusp of yet another return to glory. For that to fully come to fruition, a TNA must step up their game and we need a third federation. That’s why we all need to back Ring of Honor; they’re this generation’s cult hit, just like ECW was in the '90s.

Ring Rust Radio’s May 8th Episode

For all the fans that love the interviews we do, you won’t want to miss former WWE champion “JBL” John Bradshaw Layfield talking wrestling and his journey to the Seven Summits.

We also have Ring of Honor star Kevin Steen as he gets ready to fight Davey Richards for the world heavyweight championship at Border Wars.

Add in the normal WWE talk and we have a jam packed episode from the best damn wrestling show on the radio, Ring Rust Radio!
