Extreme Rules (2010) Predictions from April 23rd

It's been feeling like these last two PPVs, Lockdown and Extreme Rules, really haven't felt as important as the previous PPVs this year.  So I hadn't been posting as many updates about either of them.  Unfortunately that's just the way it goes when I'm not hyped up myself for the shows.

But I do think Extreme Rules will turn out to be a VERY solid show.  So while I wasn't eager to watch Lockdown at all, I am excited to catch Extreme Rules even though I don't feel the build has been amazing.

So below you'll find the current standings in the prediction game.  Don't forget to lock in your picks for the show - the winner will be receiving a $25 Amazon gift certificate! 

Just to note, I still have the tag title match between Dynasty and ShowMiz on the card.  There's no confirmation or even rumors I've heard of that this will get on the show.  But it could always be a bonus added match, so I'm leaving it up for now and will only remove it once the PPV has concluded and we know for sure it wasn't on the show.

And this is the FIRST WWE PPV of Season 8 - so you definitely don't want to miss out if you're hoping to be in the running to win any of the season-ending prizes!

-- 5 points for correct answer
-- 4-Down Note: "Even if Rey Mysterio wins his match, it's possible that the Straight Edge Society will prevent him from shaving CM Punk's head. Or if CM Punk wins the match, it's still possible that Mysterio will shave his head post-match. What do you think the fate of CM Punk's hair is?Completely shaved means all of his hair will be gone. Partially can mean anything from a lock of hair to half-shaved - as long as Rey uses the razor/scissors in any way on Punk's hair during the PPV."
