Best and Worst of Extreme Rules 2018

#3 Best: A tribute to Mick Foley

What a great tribute to the historic spot!

Kevin Owens vs. Braun Strowman was a homage to The Attitude Era, from start to finish. Kevin Owens performed a Stunner and then the D-Generation X crotch chop. Braun Strowman hit him with a very Undertaker-like Chokeslam. And then, the big spot of the match happened.

Wait, I lost the match? Could’ve fooled me. #ExtremeRules

Kevin Owens took the same bump off the top of the cage, that Mick Foley took from atop Hell in a Cell. The was also stretchered out in much the same manner, really. It was quite a fantastic tribute.
