TLC 2009 Review : Sheamus Shocks the World 



Christian vs Shelton Benjamin : Ladder Match 
What a great way to start the show off . Two of the best ladder match participants of all time going at it . It can only lead to a lot of fun . ECW Title was hanging over the ring . Christian's head cut being checked ruined the momentum of the match a little bit . That all changed when Shelton hit the senton off the ladder . Christian retains the title . Match of the Night . ***3/4



John Morrison vs Drew McIntyre 
IC Title on the line . I think this was meant to be McIntyre's breakout performance but obviously , nothing really came from it . Fans weren't really into this , but it wasn't too bad . This was pretty entertaining . Drew hits his big DDT to win the IC Title . **3/4



Mickie James vs Michelle McCool
Womens title up for grabs and yes this was the idiotic ' piggy james ' storyline . Excuse the language but that was just fucking stupid . At least Mickie was here , making the match as watchable as she possibly could . Michelle boots Mickie in the face to win . *1/4



John Cena vs Sheamus : Tables Match 
Here we have what is perhaps the shocker of the year . I don't think anyone gave Sheamus a snowball's chance in hell of winning the WWE Title . I know people have argued that Cena slipped and fell through the table , but it still happened . If it didn't happen , would Sheamus be where he is today ? The match itself was good . ***



Undertaker vs Batista : Chairs Match
Well this was a disappointing match . I think we were all expecting a great match , after having what is probably the best feud of 2007 , with all of their matches that year ranging from great to fantastic . This one didn't really cut it . Boring match . Taker retains . **



Kofi Kingston vs Randy Orton
The match that effectively ended Kofi's big push ends tonight . The match was really good , but it would have been great if Kofi was able to get the win with all the momentum on his side . Orton pins Kofi after an RKO . ***1/4


DX vs JeriShow : TLC Match
I couldn't say why this was the main event on this night , probably because it was a TLC match or because it looked more interesting than almost every other match . The match was great though and DX were able to win the tag titles and end JeriShow's long reign . Good way to end the show . ***1/2



6.5/10 . I'll say that the show is worth watching for the opener , Sheamus winning the title , a good match between Kofi and Orton , and the TLC match .
