Ranking WWE Extreme Rules PPVs From Least To Most Extreme
6. 2010
If we were going by sheer number of stipulations, this would be one of the most extreme PPVs of all time.
But were not.
So it isnt.
What Extreme Rules 2010 offered in quantity, it didnt quite provide in quality. Sure, every single match on the card had some kind of gimmick attached, but the problem was that they werent particularly fitting ones.
The Tag Team Championship bout was a Gauntlet match; rare? Yes. Extreme? No. JTG and Shad faced off in a strap match because apparently someone forgot what decade it was. And Beth Phoenix took on Michelle McCool in an Extreme Makeover match, which featured just as much sexist stereotyping as you'd expect.
Even the main event was somewhat lacking. John Cena faced Batista for the WWE Championship in a Last Man Standing match, which sounds great on paper. Until you remember that this was the time Cena won a match by duct taping his opponents legs together.
The best action of the night was arguably CM Punks defeat to Rey Mysterio in a Hair match. But the fact that thisa glorified singles match lacking any real weaponswas the standout contest on a show dubbed Extreme Rules is a telling sign of how the rest of the event went down.
