WWE Extreme Rules: The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly

The Bad - The Pittsburgh Crowd

Seth Rollins gets ready to perform a classic match before fans who are mysteriously mesmerized by a countdown clock

We expected the crowd to interject themselves in the Roman Reigns vs Bobby Lashley match and they did. Chanting everything from, "Rusev Day" to "We Want Beach Balls," the Pittsburgh, PA crowd didn't miss an opportunity to rain on Reigns' parade.

The crowd chants; however, went beyond the Reigns match. In a fantastic Iron Man Match between Dolph Ziggler and Seth Rollins, the crowd couldn't resist counting down with the clock and then making the buzzer sound when time expired.

It's almost as if they were mesmerized by the very presence of time, as if they've never had to set an alarm to get up for anything important a day in their lives. While fans audibly counting down with a clock may seem insignificant on the surface, you may want to ask yourself how many opportunities they have to count down from five in a 30 minute Iron Man Match. The answer is 29 and a classic match between two of wrestling best performers was interrupted 29 times because some people needed attention.

The crowd proved that the hijacking of shows goes beyond Roman Reigns and has more to do with the quality of wrestling fans than anything else. Seth Rollins is one of the most beloved Superstars in all of wrestling and he and Ziggler put on a classic match. The two performers deserved the spotlight and respect.

Both would main event any independent promotion in the world; but, still couldn't keep smarks from pissing on their Picasso. It goes without saying that no matter how brilliantly wrestlers perform, they simply can not outrun grown children who come to wrestling shows only to make themselves the center of attention.
