10 Awesome Wrestling PPVs With Only One Bad Match

Match: Santino Marella vs. Vickie Guerrero.

It takes a special kind of a*shole to promote a card called "Extreme Rules" and think that means punters want to see a bloody 'Hog Pen' match on the thing. Vince McMahon, by his own admission, doesn't mind being said a*shole - he also got a kick out of all that poop.

The boss loves him some toilet humour.

Granted, a four-way opener for the United States Title wasn't quite the lightning rod Extreme Rules 2009 needed, but it was hardly bad. One could say the same about a 'Steel Cage' effort pitting old Evolution pals Batista and Randy Orton against one another.

Chris Jericho vs. Rey Mysterio and Jeff Hardy vs. Edge were both awesome though, and they only made Santino Marella rolling around in sh*t with Chavo and Vickie Guerrero stand out. If you dare fire this one up on the Network, just...yeah, skip through the dire hog-related "hilarity".
