TLC 2010 Review

TLC 2010 Review : The Nexus Is Finally Buried 

Feels great to be back doing reviews and I'm going to start with my first PPV of 2010 ( excluding WM ) .

Ok then here we go with this great PPV .

Kofi Kingston vs Jack Swagger vs Dolph Ziggler : Ladder Match
I heard that some people hated the ending of this match , but I found it went with Dolph's character . Gotta give credit to Vickie for climbing up that ladder though . This was a good ladder match that was short on time but was very entertaining . Dolph wins after the belt falls to the ring and he scoops it up . ***

Laycool vs Beth Phoenix & Natalya : Tables Match
It seemed innovative to have a divas table match . This was probably the best divas match of the year , even if thats not saying much . They actually gave these girls around ten minutes to work with and they used that time well . It seemed as though the ending was botched but Natalya managed to save it . At one point , Beth fell out of the ring and landed badly on her head . I think she was ok afterwards . Natalya picks up the victory after frog splashing Laycool through a table . **3/4

Santino Marella & Vladmir Kozlov vs The Nexus 
Apparently TLC stands for Totally Lethal Cobra . This should last around five minutes . Ok match . The match ends in a DQ after an interference .  *3/4

John Morrison vs Sheamus : Ladder Match 
This was an awesome match . This match had more of a story than most ladder matches with Morrison's leg being targeted .  Sheamus just looked ruthless in this match . Sheamus falling through the ladder on the outside was such an amazing moment . After that , Morrison climbs up the ladder , kicks Sheamus in the head one more time and grabs the contract for a WWE Championship match . Awesome . ****

The Miz vs Randy Orton : Tables Match
And here we are , The Miz's first PPV as the WWE Champion . This match wasn't very fun .  It also wasn't very interesting until the end . Orton powerbombs Riley through a table while the ref is down and Miz gives Orton a skull crushing finale . He puts Orton in the wreckage of the table and the ref declares Miz the winner . Everything is shown on the replay and the ref starts the match over . Orton is knocked through a table thanks to Riley and the Miz retains the title . **1/4

Edge vs Alberto Del Rio vs Rey Mysterio vs Kane : TLC Match
Originally this was supposed to be Edge/Kane , so thankfully they realised that wouldn't have been very good and added Rey and Del Rio . This was a great match and was almost as good as the Morrison/Sheamus match earlier in the night . Matt Striker makes a mistake by saying the first TLC match was at No Mercy 1999 even though it was at Summerslam 2000 . Cole also makes a mistake by saying Kane has never been in a TLC match even though he won one . Seriously , hire better commentators . The match is just a lot of fun though . Edge splashing Kane through a table was amazing . After Edge spears Kane off the apron and through a table , he climbs the ladder to grab his tenth world title . ***3/4

I'll just skip everything that happened with Cody Rhodes and Big Show .

John Cena vs Wade Barrett : Chairs Match 
CM Punk goes ringside to join in the commentating . Usually I would complain that a World title match was not the main event but tonight I think this deserved to be the main event considering it had been the main WWE storyline since June of 2010 . These two usually had great matches with each other and this was no exception . The end of one of the WWE's biggest storylines . Needless to say , it had a big match feel . Cena using that office chair to ram Wade into the steel steps was great . Cena wins the match and the war after giving Barrett a huge AA onto a bunch of chairs . ***1/2 .

After the match , Cena takes Wade up to the stage , puts some sort of trolley on him and drops around twenty chairs onto Barrett , symbolically killing the Nexus .

7.5/10 . This was a great show and probably the second best of 2010 , just behind WM . Three great matches , a hot opener and a good divas match .
