Wrestling Wrap Up: Extreme Rules Results
Time to get EXTREEEEEEMMMMEEEE!!!*
*exclamation points go on forever**
**and on fire
Now here's the thing. My main gripe this past Sunday night wasn't that the Extreme Rules PPV, which boasts "Extreme" in its very title, wasn't extreme enough. I mean, it most certainly wasn't, but that's not what crusted my mustard. No, I'm more or less okay with the match stipulations being tame and the card featuring the kind of gimmick matches you'd see on any other PPV. Last Man Standing affairs. Street fights. The usual suspects - with kendo stick shots to the torso for days. No, that I accept. It's just the nature of the PG-era beast. Though perhaps some thought should be given to switching the post-Mania PPV name back to Backlash. Or Switchback. Or Fatback. Or Jason.

Ouya, Inc. Is For Sale To Alleviate Debt
According to a leaked email from Ouya, Inc. CEO Julie Uhrman, the three-year-old video game start-up is for sale after falling into debt with one of its investors.
“Given our debtholder’s timeline, the process will be quick," Uhrman allegedly stated. "We are looking for expressions of interest by the end of this month."
The email was reportedly written in early April, meaning time for Ouya could be running short if the company hasn't found anything yet.
Fortune claims that Mesa Global, an investment bank, has been brought on to manage the whole process.
