Cook’s WWE The Horror Show At Extreme Rules Gambling Picks
You know, gambling odds can add a level of entertainment. Since Horror Show isn’t really anticipated highly; Cook gives us the information to make our own fun!
It’s time to bet on some pro wrestling!
WWE presents The Horror Show at Extreme Rules this Sunday night on WWE Network and probably still on PPV. We’ve got six matches scheduled so far, some with some very extreme stipulations. Extreme enough to make this qualify as a Horror Show!
At least it’s resulted in some pretty cool posters.
This time I had to go elsewhere to find some odds. WWELeaks posted some lines via 5Dimes Sportsbook. They seem accurate enough for column content for me, so let’s figure out how we can make some money off of a Horror Show!
WWE have revealed another unique poster for The Horror Show at Extreme Rules.

Bayley (c) vs. Nikki Cross
Bayley -530
Nikki Cross +350
Bayley Dos Straps has rarely been better during her stint with WWE. It’s tough to make an argument in favor of her losing the SmackDown Women’s Championship right now, esepcially considering the impact that title has on her friendship with Sasha Banks. The only argument I can make in favor of Nikki Cross winning is that she’s just so darn adorable.
Adorable enough to pick at +350? Probably not. I’d just stay away from this one. Bayley will win but it won’t make you much money.

Asuka (c) vs. Sasha Banks
Asuka -350
Sasha Banks +250
I’ve been all about the Boss in recent months. Sasha Banks has been on her A game and it’s tough to pick against her in any match. Unless she’s facing Asuka, and unless she’s been getting the upper hand in their recent interactions. Everything about TV booking tells me that Asuka is getting the win here, leaving Sasha without a singles championship of her own & increasing the tension between Boss & Hug.

Apollo Crews (c) vs. MVP
Apollo Crews -380
MVP +315
There’s not a match I like the underdog more in than this one. MVP has low key been one of WWE’s top performers in 2020, you could even say he’s been a candidate for MVP. The endgame of the feud should be putting Crews over, but I think you can get more mileage out of this by having MVP cheat to win the US Championship here, then have Crews comeback for the rematch at SummerSlam. I’m sensing a title change here.

Rey Mysterio vs. Seth Rollins
Rey Mysterio +200
Seth Rollins -280
It’s an Eye for an Eye, meaning that the winner will be the person that manages to dislodge one of their opponents’ eyes from its socket. I know, it sounds like something the Insane Clown Posse would book on a StrangleMania card, but this is where we’re at in WWE 2020. They’re trying different things, especially on shows like The Horror Show at Extreme Rules. Is this drawing any interest? Doesn’t seem like it to me, but maybe we’ll find out later that a ton of blood marks bought this show hoping to see something gross.
I’m a little surprised that Rey Mysterio is the underdog here. I know he’s not under contract, but the story here seems to dictate that the Monday Night Messiah would lose an eye and declare himself a martyr or some such thing.

Drew McIntyre (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler
Drew McIntyre -1,850
Dolph Ziggler +900
Nobody in the world is giving Dolph Ziggler a chance here. Should they? Well, he does have the advantage of deciding the match stipulation for a WWE Championship match, and the story tells us that he’s not revealing it until just before the match. It’s a hell of an advantage to have, and an easy out for Drew should he lose.
I don’t think Drew would lose. But if Dolph Ziggler wins, you can get some pretty good money out of it. I suspect this line will get closer prior to matchtime because everybody will think this.

Braun Strowman vs. Bray Wyatt
Braun Strowman (+170)
Bray Wyatt (-230)
Braun is still Universal Champion, but it’s a non-title Wyatt Swamp Fight. The fact that it’s non-title & taking place in Bray’s backyard gives Wyatt a pretty huge advantage here. Also, there’s no other obvious opponent for Braun for SummerSlam, unless they get Goldberg or another big star to waste their time during a pandemic. I can’t see Bray Wyatt losing here…but that doesn’t mean it’s a 100% guarantee. Bray has lost some big matches before.
Bray does tend to do well in matches of his own creation though. It’s tempting to throw some money on Braun, but I wouldn’t advise it.
Enjoy the gambling! And let me know if you win anything on Twitter so we can discuss my cut.

Chris King: Is Brock Lesnar Truly Retired?
Brock Lesnar retired at WWE WrestleMania 42, right? Are we totally sure? Chris King asks…
Brock Lesnar retired at WWE WrestleMania 42, right? Are we totally sure? Chris King asks…
At WrestleMania 42, ‘The Beast Incarnate’ Brock Lesnar took off his boots and gloves following his loss to Oba Femi. Lesnar has done it all inside of his twenty-four-year career in professional wrestling. He’s a ten-time WWE Champion and former UFC Heavyweight Champion, and he’s one who ended The Undertaker’s undefeated streak at WrestleMania.
While Lesnar was in the ring, he was visibly overwhelmed with emotion and crying while he thanked the fans in his own way. The Beast even threw up an x to signal to Paul Heyman, his longtime friend and advocate, that this was not scripted and was real. There had been rumors that Lesnar and Oba were supposed to have a series of matches before everything went down at Mania.
‘The Career Killer’ Gunther was doing Heyman’s bidding as he faced Seth Rollins for a favor. For a while now since Gunther retired Goldberg, John Cena, and AJ Styles, the rumor has been Gunther was set to retire Lesnar in his hometown at this year’s SummerSlam event. There’s been no confirmation if Lesnar is truly retired, but on this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown, we saw Heyman talking with General Manager Nick Aldis. Later that night following Rhodes’ match against the debuting Ricky Saints, Gunther choked out the WWE Champion. Could this be the favor from Heyman?
I know in the world of professional wrestling we live by the mantra of “never say never,” but what if Lesnar is actually retired and this was WWE’s way of shutting down those rumors about Gunther and Lesnar? What if Gunther’s next program is chasing after the WWE title, and where is Randy Orton at in all of these plans? There are so many questions that need to be answered, hopefully soon!

Chris King: Defend The Intercontinental Championship At Backlash!
With WWE Backlash upon us, Chris King wants to see Penta defend the Intercontinental Championship in Tampa!
With WWE Backlash upon us, Chris King wants to see Penta defend the Intercontinental Championship in Tampa!
This year’s annual Backlash showcase is only a few days away, and while there are many big matches announced, one that definitely should be isn’t on the card. In my opinion, outside of Roman Reigns/Jacob Fatu and Seth Rollins/Bron Breakker, the Intercontinental Championship scene has been stellar over the last month.
Penta has been an excellent champion, especially after his triumphant title defense in a ladder match against JeVon Evans, Rusev, Dragon Lee, and the Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio at WrestleMania 42. Their ladder match at Mania was one of the best that WWE has produced in a while.
The momentum never stopped, as on the post-Mania episode of Monday Night Raw, ‘All Ego’ Ethan Page made his debut and was quickly inserted into the Intercontinental title scene. Page had a fantastic showing against his longtime NXT rival Evans and picked up a big win in his debut match thanks to an assist from Rusev.
All Ego immediately joined forces with ‘The Bulgarian Brute’ Rusev, who was also vying for the Intercontinental Title in his own right. On this week’s episode of Raw, Page and Rusev defeated Evans and Penta. All Ego pinned the champion, making a huge statement and putting him one step closer to getting a title shot. For the past few weeks I’ve been anxiously waiting to see if WWE was going to add this incredible fatal four-way match for the Intercontinental Championship, but it hasn’t happened yet.
As much as the WWE Universe enjoys witnessing great matches on free television, I truly believe all four superstars deserve the chance to showcase their talents on the PLE. While Penta has done a terrific job as the intercontinental champion, it’s time for a fresh face to hold the prestigious title. Page would make a great braggadocious heel that would help elevate the Intercontinental Championship to new heights!
