8 Match Star Ratings From WWE: The Horror Show At Extreme Rules
7. The New Day Vs. Cesaro And Shinsuke Nakamura - Tables Match For The SmackDown Tag Team Championship
Kofi Kingston entered a violent and dangerous match with a noticeably aggressive demeanour.
That's good!
Kofi Kingston only entered a violent and dangerous match with a noticeably aggressive demeanour to facilitate a finish that made him look like he had sh*t for brains, and didn't really get the new heel Champions over.
That's bad.
"Kofi is as ornery as I've ever seen him tonight" said real human being Michael Cole.
Kofi Kingston, a very exciting, respected pro wrestler and top bloke, took an horrendous-looking bump from the top rope and through two stacked tables, and WWE being WWE, they half-made you glad of it. You see, Kofi had spent an excruciating amount of time rallying Big E to finish the job. He was "barking out orders" to Big E, momentarily forgetting, because WWE babyfaces are idiots, that he, Big E and Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura had spent the preceding eight minutes making saves in a match premised on making saves.
And it was a good watch, worked with the requisite suspense, that occupied the space between moves with some at times superb timing when all four men weren't admirably committed to beating the sh*t out of each other.
The problem is that WWE is committed to being incompetent.
Star Rating: ★★★
