It's two huge guys beating each other up around an ambulance. I'm down for that.

I've always found them boring. But then I find Royal Rumbles boring and other match types as well, all for the same reason. Only one that gets a pass for me is a table match because that adds some "fluke" into it which is believable. Not even ladder matches get a pass with their whole "I can quickly climb the turnbuckle, but can't get past the second step of a ladder without looking like I'm falling asleep on it". Where's the thrill and excitement in that? Anyway, I digress...
I can picture this now though, both guys will end up in ambulance at least twice each, both times the door will be kicked open because they're no where near beat down enough to be put in an ambulance and driven over the line. Happens all the time, just like how people hug each other in Rumbles trying to flip them over the top rope just to make it look like they're doing something.
I'd prefer a Last Man Standing match, providing the ref can't start doing his ten count until after the 10 minute mark or something. Hate it when they start counting to 10 after two minutes where nothing has really happened apart from a few basic moves. Put a 10 minute time limit on before the ref can start his counts, and just let the guys beat the absolute shit out of each other for 10 minutes before they have to really start hitting the big moves to keep the other down. That would be better. They're big guys, they could do some pretty savage looking things and would mean more, to me at least, as a Last Man Standing match (obviously, with that time limit on the ref counting).
An Ambulance Match just doesn't sell to me.
Wonder if there'll be a WWE Title match. Someone going against Brock in an "extreme rules" match could be fun to watch.
There won't be a Universal Title match (I'm assuming that's what you meant) until July's WWE Great Balls of Fire so don't expect to see Brock until after Extreme Rules at least.

That ad for Great Balls of Fire stated that it will be Brocks first title defense. This Is the entire reason I'm not a fan of Brock as champ.

I'd have been fine with him missing every RAW but he should at least show up to defend the title at every PPV.

Extreme Rules would have been a good one for him, it's a shame that WWE just don't seem to be interested in having a champion represent Raw. A shame really. The promo definitely said Great Balls of Fire would be his first defense... So we just have to ignore that he's Universal Champion until the... Nevermind that a champion should be around to defend his belt else he's stripped of it.
To me the champion should be the face of the brand. I'm not saying they need to compete every night, but they should be representing the brand nightly. The fact that Brock isn't going to defend until July is pretty pathetic. 2 ppvs, in a row with out your major champ there is pathetic.
Well that makes me want to see Extreme Rules. Not! Has there ever been an interesting Ambulance match? Has there fuck. No surprise that they're going this route though, given the amount of ambulances we've already seen in this feud.
Don't mind them going for a long feud mind you, sometimes we need more of them providing that they can keep things interesting. And hopefully they don't bury Strowman by the end of the feud as well, he needs to come out of it looking strong as he is improving all the time and for once is a legit "big man" in wrestling. None of that Big Show of Khali bullshit, Strowman is massive and interesting and doesn't totally suck (that sounds quite gay, but you know what I mean). Strowman has definitely had one of the best character transformations that I can remember, as I honestly thought that he would go no where with everything about him when he was with Bray as he just didn't look menacing enough to be a big man, despite his obvious size. Looks totally different now and I'd shit my pants if I had to go against him, so exactly how a big man should look.
But this isn't a Strowman love-fest thread (need to stop making this sound so gay), it's an Extreme Rules thread. Hopefully they put on some interesting and good matches this year, they're going to need it if their main match is an ambulance match.
