CM Punk vs Rey Mysterio - Extreme Rules 2010 CM Punk's Hair Only

 

I hate one-sided American wager matches. Why isn't this Mask vs Hair? At Mania, if Rey lost he would have to join SES. At Over The Limit (Under Arrest), it was SES vs Hair, which is better but come on we want a Mask vs Hair Match.

 

I enjoyed the Mania match and naturally with more time this is better, but they didn't exactly knock it out of the park either. I was a little bummed they went straight to the heat segment with Punk just beating down Mysterio. You get some hope spots here and there like Rey Rey rolling through his bellyflop bump to the floor. Punk stymies this with a big powerslam in the ring and then Rey takes his bellyflop bump. Typical grinding heat segment focused on the ribs. Punk does the Eddie senton splash and a Gory Special, which I dug. Punk goes for G2S and it is finish run time. Rey blows an armdrag to send Punk into the ropes. Serena grabs Rey's foot. The ref tosses the SES. This is textbook Pro Wrestling 101, just nothing mind-blowing here.

 

I thought this next part was the best part of the match. Riding the wave of momentum following the SES being kicked out, Rey hits a wicked baseball slide to the back of Punk's neck and then a Asai Moonsault. That's what I am talking about! Shine on you, crazy diamond! Drops the Dime for a two count, good nearfall. Punk hits an anti-airRey dropkick to the bad ribs. G2S vs 619 counters. 619 is the one that connects first. A Masked Man distracts the ref with a chair and while the ref is tending to the chair, the Masked Man (later revealed to be a shaven Joey Mercury) hits a reverse powerbomb on Rey. Punk collects Rey and hits the Go 2 Sleep to win the match and save his hair.

 

Perfectly serviceable match with a great finish to set up the grand finale at the next PPV. To me, it just never got to that next level. Lets see what they have in store for the blowoff. ***1/2
