2012 April 29th - EXTREME RULES Based on three very memorable matches: World Hvt Title - Best 2/3 Falls - Sheamus (c) vs Daniel Bryan - It's a match I don't hear talked about enough. It's the match we should've had at WrestleMania instead of the 18-second debacle that was a blessing-in-disguise. Bryan's "YES" and the crowd's "NO" response during the 30-second break between falls still stands out to me, right as those "YES" chants began to grab hold of the fans. Those two were out to steal the show and prove their worth, and drat did they ever. WWE Title - Chicago Street Fight - CM Punk (c) vs Chris Jericho - a fun but somewhat standard street fight that is elevated by Punk's hometown Chicago crowd, and an interesting storyline involving Punk's family & alcoholism that never truly reached it's full potential. Still, a match well worth the watch and it built really nicely. Extreme Rules Match - John Cena vs Brock Lesnar - Brock's first WWE match in 8 years, returning as a mega-star following his run as UFC Heavyweight Champion. The match was treated as a fight with so much intensity and brutal violence that you became genuinely concerned for Cena. The ending became that much worse because of all that led up to it - but still, it couldn't dampen the mood and all that came before it. A very memorable encounter and something Brock hasn't replicated many times since. Was this the same show where Big Show stepped through a table to end the Tables match with Cody Rhodes? There's also a decent Falls Count Anywhere match with Orton & Kane to start things off too. Nonetheless, anytime you get 3 matches of that caliber on one show, it'll be tough to top it.
