SummerSlam 2011

- August 14th, LA, California.

- Attendance: 17,404

- Buyrate: 301,000 (127,000 domestic and 174,000 international)

- WWEs last great angle at time of writing (6th March 2013), though not business wise, the way Summer Of Punk (2, if you're a ROH follower), was handled but the concept was good, I may rant on the way it was handled later on a positive note SummerSlam is my favorite PPV.

Adam Jones from Tool, yeah me neither, plays the US national anthem, reminds me of when Macho Man had that rockier Pomp & Circumstance in WCW.

Miz/R-Truth/Del Rio Vs. Kofi Kingston/John Morrison/Rey Mysterio
 This was during R-Truths no music phase and conspiracy angle. The heel team features one of the most boring wrestlers, one of the worst WWE Champions and K-Kwik. ADR has Money In The Bank, wait where's Hugo Savinovich? Miz goes for a hiptoss but Kofi monkey flips him. Does Booker know what he's on about half of the time. JoMo has been isolated from his team. Kofi in with chops and dropkicks, Boom Drop hits but Trouble In Paradise and Mizs Skull Crushing Finale are both avoided. SOS by Kofi. A type of stunner gets Miz 2. Del Rio in for the first time, he taunts Kofi who is playing face in peril. Double chest stomp by Kofi, in comes Rey a kick to Truths bonce gets 2. Del Rio stops 619, JoMo and Kofi jump onto Del Rio and Miz respectivly as Rey splashes Truth for 3 at 9:34. **1/2 - Good little opener, made sense in a way for Rey to get the W as he had a WWE Championship match on RAW the next day.

Sheamus Vs. Mark Henry
 Clubbing blows by Sheamus, but he is soon dumped ringside. 'Sexual Chocolate' chant. Henry has taken control, Henry jumps on Sheamus as he's draped over the middle rope, it left a skid mark according to Booker. Sheamus breaks out of a type of Torture Rack but Henry's soon on top again. Hammer shots by Sheamus get Henry down, diving shoulderblock gets Sheamus 2, he tries to follow with a Brogue Kick but it misses, another one about a minute later does connect though sending henry ringside but whilst they're there Henry slams Sheamus through the barricade, he crawls to the ring but is counted out at 9:21 *1/2 - I dont like power matches or countouts, Henry should've gone over via pinfall as he won the WHC a month later, at least he won though.

Josh Matthews talks with Christian

Cee Lo Green sings a song or two, I fast fowarded, whilst wearing a bin bag, he was not me I wear shopping bags.

WWE Diva Title - Kelly Kelly (c) Vs. Beth Phoenix

 This'll pick things up, actually I liked Beth so i'll roll back the sarcasm. Kelly takes it to Beth early with punches then knocks her ringside. Press Slam by Beth goes wrong as Kelly didn't share her weight by placing herself right. Beth rubs Kellys face in her buttocks. Neckbreaker by kelly after Beth had her on her shoulder. Booker says someone has been working with Kelly on her technical skills, then they should be fired. Sideslam by Beth but a Glam Slam is countered to a roll up at 6:31 for 3. * 1/2 - I was always hoping Beth would just squash Beth, even in a shoot, but it wasn't to be.

R-Truth accuses Jimmy Hart of being Little Jimmy then we see Ron Artest, if this was WCW he'd be there to wrestle in the main event and given Arquette he may of been booked to win and Kobe would possibly go to TNA and become their champion which would lead to a unification match, probably be better than Jericho/Austin and TNA would be the remaining company.

Wade Barrett Vs. Daniel Bryan
 Bryan is SMACKDOWN! MITB, which he won by kicking Wade off the ladder. Wristlock by Wade which Bryan dropkicks out of. Booker 'check this out I dont know what he's doing'. Leg whip then a dropkick in the corner gets Bryan 2. D-Bry flips over Wade but runs into a Bossman Slam, slingshot backreaker by Wade, not sure i've ever seen that. Uppercuts by Bryan but he gets elbowed down. D-Bry is now sat in the ropes then is booted to the outside, back up and now they trade punches on the apron whcih leads to Wade attempting Wasteland to the outside. Bryan dropkicks Wade off the apron and hits a flying knee. Bryan avoids a pumphandle slam and targets Wades leg with kicks then kicks him in the head which sends Wade back to SummerSlam 2010 I think. Bryan counters Wasteland to a Yes Lock. Bryan is crotched on the top rope so Wade clotheslines him down and finishes at 11:45 with Wasteland. ***1/2 - I enjoyed this match, it was even which I liked. Nice little midcard match, cant ask for mucch more than that.

WHC - No Holds Barred - Christian (c) Vs. Randy Orton

 This was my feud of 2011 and possibly the last great feud WWE had. Christian won the gold at Extreme Rules but dropped, to most peoples dismay, to Orton 2 days later, well 5 in WWE canon, he won it back via DQ in a special stip match at MITB and voila here we are. Christian has an insurance policy which is his brother .... best friend .... uncle.... whatever WWE say now .... Edge but he leaves christian hangin' as the kids say, calling him boring in the process which I disagree with. Orton stomps various parts of Christian but a Draping DDT is avoided as Christian backdrops him over the top. 3 mins in and already they're at the announce table but Christian avoids an RKO and they fight in the crowd. Back in Orton gets a 16 corner punch but misses a follow up charge, Christian gets a kendo stick and targets the midsection and back of Orton. Double A spinebuster gets Orton 2, he goes for a kendo shot off the top but Orton dropkicks him, the comeback is on, a jacknife cover gets 2. Christian attempts Kill Switch out of a Draping DDT but Orton hits his backbreaker variation. Randy gets a table or two, he places one into the ring, unset up, and superplexes Christian onto it., Orton sets it up in the corner now but Christian hits a reverse DDT, he tries for a Spear but Orton leapfrogs it. TV monitor to Ortons bonce, they're on the spanish announce table as Orton plays possum, RKO through the table, maybe the first table that's broke for Orton. 'This Is Awesome' chant. Killswitch connects for 2, good nearfall. Conchairto misses after he spits on Orton who has now snapped, he knocks Christian off the apron through a table, snap powerslam through the corner table is followed by kendo shots, Draping DDT on a garbage can, I think Orton's cut his hand, Christian springboards into an RKO on the ringsteps for 3 at 23:40. ****1/2 - That is how you end a feud! Fantastic match, Orton hurt his head on the match winning RKO I think. I gave their match at Over The Limit 4 *s, this is Ortons best rivalry for me and probably Christians.

HHH looks like Tony Sopranos mother.

WWE Title - Special Ref/ HHH - CM Punk (real c) Vs. John Cena (phony c)

 Punk won the WWE Title then left ..... for 8 days. The build at MITB was Vince didn't want Punk to leave with the belt yet when he did he simply created a new one, the one Cena has here, so why was he bothered in the first place? Punk should of stayed away for longer, also due to his Cena was meant to be fired yet he won the belt, you keeping up with me? So now we have an Undisputed Title match even though Punks WWE Title is the real one also HHH is now Chief Operating Officer (COO) of WWE, he fired Vince and he's special ref tonight. 'Lets Go Cena' ' Cena Sucks' chants. Headlock takedown by Cena, 3 mins in and they've stalled about 10 times not sure if it's to give it a big match feel or piss me off but either way it's the latter. Heel kick then a chinlock with body scissors by Punk. Now Cena has a chinlock applied, elbow drop then another chinlock. Multiple midsection knees by Punk, then some headbutts, a second rope dropkick ala Jericho sends Cena ringside. Type of Bossman Slam now by Cena, 10 minutes in and it's been poor so far. Punk misses a corner knee so Cena hits multiple shoulderblocks but Punk counters the slam part and hits his corner knee but Cena avoids the bulldog, I like that as it stands out when the usual spots miss. Anaconda Vice is countered to a kind of STF, the leg isn't hooked, I wish Cena would make the STF look real but he always leaves a massive gap between his hand and their face. Punk hits a sicide dive now as Cena's ringside but instead of counting to 10 HHH throws them both back in. We get the 'yay' 'boo' punch sequence, 5 Knuckle Shuffle but Punk rolls through the AA for 2. GTS is avoided and Cena gets 2 off a powerslam. Cena heads up top but Punk flies at him with a knee but Punk soon springboards into an STFU but he does manage a ropebreak. AA, GTS are avoided but then AA is hit for 2. Cena misses his legdrop allowing Punk to hit GTS but that only gets 2 as does his Macho Man Elbow leading to a 'Randy Savage' chant. High knee then GTS gets Punk 3 at 24:15ish but Cenas foot was on the rope, remember he only losses clean to part timers also the GTS looked bad as it clearly hit his elbow if anything. Punk celebrates then kevin nash, who I hate, comes through the crowd and Jacknifes Punk which leads to Del Rio cashing in his MITB and becoming the new WWE Champion. *** - Meh, to be fair it did pick up in the second half but the first 10 mins were poor for me. The Undisputed Champion angle ends with neither as champion.

16.5 / 30 - The 6 man was filler but good, Punk/Cena was okay but slightly disappointing comapred to expectations, Orton/Christian was very, very good and Wade/Bryan was good aswell. This PPV is recommended as 4 of the 6 matches were good. If you want to keep both strong simply dont book it on PPV and the Divas was the usual. Thumbs up though for SummerSlam 2011.

Cyber Sunday 2008

- October 26th, Phoenix, Arizona

Attendance: 7,981

Buyrate: 0.255 (102,000 buys - It was shown free in UK though)

- CM Punk's on the DVD but not the card, go figure.

No Holds Barred - Rey Mysterio Vs. Kane

 Todd Grisham is announcing the vote results. Falls count anywhere and 2 out of 3 falls were the other options. Lawler, on commentary with Cole, says the stips help Kane but surely they help Rey as he can use weapons now. Rey lowbridges Kane over then hits his knee with a kendo stick. Kane uses a cable to bend Rey around the post, he is using his power advantage to now control the match., Kane uppercuts Reys head from Phoenix to Texas, baby. Poke in the eye and now Rey is getting a foot in the match bulldog, enziguri but he is clotheslined going for the 619. 7 mins in and Kane gets a chair from ringside. Rey avoids a Chokeslam and drop toe holds Kane into ring steps, which are now in the ring, seated senton gets 2, multiple chairshots follow but Kane avoids 619 however Rey does hit his 3rd attempted one then a apringboard splash gets 3 at 10:21. ** - Wish they'd used the No Holds Barred stips more, felt like a TV match.

Jericho tries to get Legacy to attack Batista like they did CM Punk at Unforgiven.

ECW Title - Matt Hardy (c) Vs. Evan Bourne

 Teddy Long comes out busting his wedding dance moves. Oh jesus Grisham and Striker are on comentary. Finlay and Mark Henry were the other challengers options. Matt gets a couple of shoulderblocks but is then dropkicked. Legsweep, standing moonsault by Bourne, nice, nice. Evan heads up top so Matt goes ringside where he manages to take control, back in he gets a couple of scoopslams followed by an elbow for 2. Matts main target has been Evans ribs. Razors Edge is countered to a hurricanrana by Evan but a Side Effect gets Matt 2, then another connects but gets the same result. Evan heel kicks Matt out of the air but cant capitalise due to his ribs. The momentum is with Evan but when he goes up top Matt meets him, Matt's knocked off but Evans Shooting Star Press misses, Twist Of Fate countered to a backslide for 2 but Boom Twist Of Fate does connect for 3 at 11:04. *** - Good match, the fans got into the match as it progressed and Evan looked good even in defeat.

Miz/Morrison Vs. Cryme Tyme  

 Other tag match options were Punk/Kofi Vs. Legacy or Mickie James/Jamie Noble Vs. Layla/William Regal. These teams were feuding on WWE.com or something via The Dirt Sheet and Word Up. Crowd chants 'Money, money, Yeah, Yeah' JTG gets the better of Morrison and then Miz. Shad inverted Alabama Slams JTG onto Miz, then soon presses JTG over onto Miz/JoMo. Shad gets caught in the heel corner as Miz works over his knee, JoMo applies a single leg boston crab. JTG in, he hits a nice sort of neckbreaker on Miz. Double gutbuster to Miz who is isolated now. Match has slowed down now. Shad in and he cleans house, JoMo tries to get a roll up with  his feet on the ropes but JTG stops it. JoMo pins Shad at 10:22 with something Cole called the Midnight Ride, it was like Cross Rhodes. **1/2 - Good match, formulaic but sometimes less is more. The crowd digged Cryme Tyme, why weren't they given a title run?

Jericho tries to coerce Khali into helping him.

Santino Marella Vs. Honky Tonk Man

 Goldust, Roddy Piper were the options to face Santino. Not sure if IC belt is on the line but it doesn't matter as it ends at 1:05 as Beth Phoenix trips Honky for the DQ. Best bit is postmatch when Honky slips on Goldust wig earning this a *.

Last Man Standing - Undertaker Vs. Big Show

 Taker was KOd by Show at Unforgiven, maybe 'cause of that ridiculous desert promo in August '99, hell I wanted to Ko him for it. Other stips available were KO match or I Quit. JR, Tazz on commentary. Show looks confident. Taker uses Shows head as a punch bag early, couple of corner splashes by Deadman but when he runs the ropes he is clotheslined, Show gets a 7 count of a leg drop. Taker puts a chair to Shows throat and rams him to the post, guillitine leg drop follows as do punches which Show stops via a clothesline to regain control. Big DDT by Deadman but Show's up at 9. Show removes a turnbuckle pad. Taker misees a charging boot in the corner and falls ringside., TV moitor to the noggin. Show gets a chair but Taker punches it into his face. Chokeslam through the announce table but Deadman's up at 9 via the barricade, Show rolls him into the ring where they trade punches, DDT by Deadman but Old School is countered with a ChokeSlam which gets another 9 count, but Taker gets straight up into a KO Punch, he sits up but a chairshot knocks him down again, playing possum as Boom Hells Gate is locked in, Show looks like he's out and Taker stands up for the W at 19:22. **** - Really enjoyable. I liked the ending, as it progressed I was wondering what Deadman would have to do to keep Show down, I never thought about choking him out. I thought Show had won with the KO Punch and chairshot, fantastic match that I enjoyed much more than I thought I would.

Throughout the PPV we've seen the divas in halloween costumes asking to be voted the winner. Tazz reveals Mickie, as Tomb Raider, has won and this sparks a brawl.

WWE Title - Jeff Hardy Vs. HHH (c)

 Vs. Kozlov or a triple threat were the other options. Was there any doubt Jeff would win the vote, not that I mind though. Jeff almost won the gold at No Mercy. They trade counters, quick start here. Twist Of Fate and Pedigree are both attempted early. Jeff is pushed off the top when he goes up. Back in HHH throws Jeff into the ringpost twice. Front suplex gets Jeff a 2 count, HHH gets his own 2 off a spinebuster out of the corner. Crossface is applied near the middle of the ring but Jeff counters to a pinning prediciment for 2. Whisper In The Wind, twice, gets Jeff a 2 count, he gets another 2 when he counters Pedigree to a jacknife pin. Twist Of F ate connects but again he only gets 2, Swanton connects, he goes for another but HHH gets his knees up. Pedigree is countered again. Jeff goes up top but HHH hits him then pulls him down into a Pedigree for 3 at 15:38. ***1/2 - A good match, if I remember rightly their No Mercy match may of been slightly better, part of me thinks Jeff should've been permitted to kick out of Pedigree but still it was a good match.

World HeavyWeight Title - Special Ref/ Stone Cold - Chris Jericho (c) Vs. Batista

 I've never thought Jericho was a good World Champion, in 08 I did like his persona where he would kind of talk down to people, I really liked his feud with HBK through 2008 but their good work was undone post No Mercy. Challenger and Referee come out after the Champion, I hate that but we have to bow down for Stone Cold dont we. HBK and orton were the other options to be Special Referee, HBK I understand but why were Orton and Austin other options? Jericho argues with Austin, slaps Batista then bails but Austin says if he is counted out or DQd he will lose the belt. Batista is all over Jericho, a suplex gets 2. Jericho tries his second rope dropkick but is slapped down but Batistas leg is soon twisted in the ropes allowing Jericho to get some shots in, he targets the left knee. Batista Bomb countered to a roll up for 2. Powerslam by Batista then a Baista Bomb is again countered, this time to the Walls Of Jericho. Bossman Slam gets Batista 2. Jericho uses the rope to avoid a Batista Bomb but when he heads up top he is clotheslined, he does avoid a spear though sending Batista into the turnbuckle. Top rope shoulderblock by Batista, is that his first top rope move? Ref Bump! Codebreaker but there's no ref, Austin's selling something!!!!!!!! HBK runs down but does a s....l......o.....w count, pump fake SCM allows Jericho to get Speared but JBL pulls HBK out. Orton runs down and hits Austin. Title shot to Batista gets 2. Stunner to Orton, Jericho is Spinebustered, Batista Bomb gets 3 at 17:05. ** - It was **1/2 at6 best but all the over booking near the end knocks 1/2 off, also I just wasn't feeling the match.

18 / 35 - Probably the best Taboo Tuesday/ Cyber Sunday PPV but that's not saying much, it's akin to claiming to be the best ever Charlotte Bobcat. I would recommend this PPV overall, Taker/Show was much better than I anticipated, HHH/Jeff was good as was Evan/Matt.

TLC 2009

- December 13th, San Antonio, Texas.
Attendance: 15,226
Buys: 228,000

ECW Title - Ladder Match - Shelton Benjamin Vs. Christian (c)

 The inaugral TLC PPV kicks off with ECW meaning Strikers on commentary, yay for us. Benjamin avoids Unprettier with a nice neckbreaker. Benjamin, kind of, lands on his feet from a monkeyflip then heads up a ladder. Match stops as a doctor checks on Christian who's been cut, booooo. Benjamin bridges a ladder between apron and announce table then slides under it when he's irish whipped. Nice heel kick by the Benj. Christian hits a reverse DDT, wasnt that his original finisher? off a ladder. Some nice athletecism by Benjamin with the ladder and ropes, then he powerslams Christian. They take turns hanging from the belt until Christian is powerbombed into a ladder. Sunsetflip powerbomb by Benjamin is countered to a hurricanrana, now Benjamin is lay out on the aforementioned bridged ladder and Christian splashes him through it which enables him to retain the gold at 18:07. ***1/2 - Very good, the doctor checking on Christian was annoying but not a detriment. I liked the splash at the end.

Intercontinental Title - Drew McIntyre Vs. John Morrison (c)

 Drews music is dire. Slingshot hurricanrana by JoMo as Drew soon bails ringside where he takes control of the champion. Suplex gets Drew 2. Drew does I believe his 4th rest hold so that's one every 75 seconds on average, that C I got in Maths finally coming in handy. JoMo DDTs out of a tilt-a-whirl, woah Drew was slaaaaaaaaamed *said in high pitched voice* on that. JoMos comeback is in full swing, missile dropkick gets 2. Inverted Alabama/Aberdeen Slam by Drew. JoMo soon, partly, hits StarShip Pain but Drew gets a ropebreak. Thumb to the eye and a Future Shock DDT gets 3 at 10:29. **1/2 - Acceptable match, nothing stood out but nothing was actively bad.

Womens Title - Mickie James Vs. Michelle McCool (c) (w/ Layla)
 I never liked McCool this was during the piggie James angle, Be A Star ... what's that? McCool goes ringside straight away, Striker says McCool is a shoe in for HOF, I know it's announcer talk, unless he's being serious but either way I hate him more now. Mickie gets some pin attempts early. There's nothing noteworthy happening and i'm not sure announcers have called anything in-ring. Mickie goes for a headscissors but is backbreakered. Hurricanrana on the outside by Mickie who is making a comeback, Michelle gets 3 via big boot at 7:31. * Moving On.

WWE Title - Tables Match - John Cena (c) Vs. Sheamus

 Champion can lose but not by pinfall or submission how conveniant. Sheamus was on ECW but went to RAW won a battle royal and voila. Cena fans were probably crying he's in the midcard. Lawler ' Cena doesn't lose any advantage these guys are on even terms' even though he has lost his championship advantage. Cena starts better but Sheamus stops the onslaught with a clothesline, Lawler ' I'd like Sheamus more if he was a corpse' so would HHH *comedy cymbal clash*. Powerslam by Sheamus after some knees then he avoids an AA. They're fighting on the ramp, not much has happened beyond punches and kicks. Fighting in the crowd back through to ringside, wahey there's someone dressed as Santa Claus, he's safe now Stone Cold's gone. Sheamus sets a table in the corner. Cena does his act dead then take a hyper potion for a full recovery, yes I played Pokemon recently, routine, AA connects. Cena sets a table as boos ringout, he tries for a toprope AA but Sheamus 'pushes' (Cena jumps back) Cena through a table for the shocking W at 16:21 15,000 people are like 'Say Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat'. **1/2 - Pretty boring but i'll bump it up as a) I sometimes likes surprising results and b) Sheamus was booked to win fair does WWE for breaking the norm and trying something different.

World HeavyWeight Title - Chairs Match - Undertaker (c) Vs. Batista
 Ah the chairs match, the oddbal kid that nobody wants to be net at school of the TLC show. Striker says a chairs match is the most violent that Deadmans been in and my hatred has risen again, i'm craaaaaaaaaaaaazy now. Anything other than a chair and you're DQd. Taker throws a chair in the ring almost KOing Charles Robinson. Chairshot by Batista then Deadman avoids one into the ringpost and mounts some offence, he then attempts Old School but Batista superplexes him for 2. Batista Bomb onto a chair is countered with a backdrop. Spinebuster gets Batista 2 but Deadman soon hits Old School, snake eyes but the boot is avoided with a spear, I like when the usual spots are avoided like that. Spinebuster as Deadmans head hits a chair, his mays may be rolling for real. Hells Gate is applied but Batista gets a rope break. ChokeSlam gets 2 now a Tombstone is signalled, lowblow by Dave followed by a chairshot gets 3 at 12:43 but teddy Long restarts the match due to the lowblow, why doesn't this happen for most matches then? *pauses for the agreeable murmours* Taker sits up and a chairshot then Tombstone gets 3 at 14:42. ** - Poor or maybe average, just seemed to be going through the motions. I dont like the Dusty finish, mainly cause  Idont like Dusty.

Kofi Kingston Vs. Randy Orton

 This is one of Kofis many pushes, this however is the closest he's got to the main event. We see Kofi doing kicks backstage, he reminds me of the guy in Mortal Kombat I think Liu Kang beats him, he has a stick and they're on sand. What the hay-ell is Kofis stance? Even start with counters but Orton soon has control, snap powerslam then the heel Orton speciality......chinlock. Kofi goes for a Boom Drop but Orton rolls ringside and in a nice spot he dropkicks a crossbodying Kofi. Multiple midsection stomps by Orton's been dominant since the dropkick. Kofi ducks a punch and hits SOS, did The Kof almost land on his neck? Suicide dive connects but Kofis ribs are hurt, he is mounting a comeback until Orton hits his backbreaker variation.  Boom (shake, shake the room) Drop connects, Trouble In Paradise almost gets 3 but Orton gets a ropebreak. Kofi is hit by Draping DDT but he avoids a Punt, a last ditch Trouble In Paradise misses and RKO gets 3 at 13:12. *** - Was alright in itself, I just have a problem with the booking, a Kofi win would've made this feud a big part of his career however Ortons W makes it more like a place holder in Ortons. Good match though.

WWE Unified Tag Titles - TLC - JeriShow (c) Vs. DX

 Lat tag main event I remember is No Way Out 2007 (http://wwe-jan-may.blogspot.com/2013/02/no-way-out-2007.html), but tag title mainevent would be IYH 23: Fully Loaded (http://july-dec-reviews.blogspot.com/2013/02/iyh-23-fully-loaded.html). DX have never been champions, though NAO did hold gold whilst in DX colours. Jericho beats on HBK as HHH gets a table. Flying forearm, kip up, scoopslam but Y2J gets his knees up to avoid the Big Elbow. I guess HHH/Show have gone for a cu of coffee or something, ah here they are, HHH is backdropped as champions are in control, they leave DX lying on the entrance way and head for the ring, i'm trying to remember a HHH ladder match between here and SummerSlam 98 but dont think I can. HBK touches the gold but Show pulls him down and cleans house. Heat for Jericho as he poses, HHH has been isolated as HBK is out at ringside, a ladder is placed in the corner which they hang HHH tree of woe style in and whip Michaels into him. Facebuster to Show as he misses a splash then they dump a ladder on Jericho ringside, who when back in the ring hits a codebreaker after ducking SCM. Show is climbing but HHH has a chair, BOOM KO Punch through the chair. HBK climbs but Y2J dumps him ringside onto Show, he climbs himself but HHH powerbombs him. Show breaks a ladder as he stomps it. As there's no ladder Y2J is on Shows shoulders but they get caught, Boom Sweet Chin Music to Show knocks Jericho off his shoulders and he bangs off a table at ringside, Show is clotheslined over and HHH holds the half a ladder up as HBK climbs for the gold at 22;31. ***1/2 - Enjoyable wasn't as car crash at the original TLCs but that's a good thing. re- JeriShow I enjoyed the dynamic of Jericho runs his mouth as Show is his guard.

18 / 35 - Nothing was actively bad but spme were average, basically the middle of the PPV. Booking wise Sheamus was surprising, in a good way and Kofi was dissappointing. The best matches bookended the show. I would recommend it as it was a good watch. TLC is my favorite of the gimmick PPVs. Historic aswell as Sheamus is 1st Irish Born WWE Champion and DXs 1st title reign.
