PLAY BY PLAY

It’s the TLC Kickoff Show!

Join Jonathan Coachman, Charly Caruso, David Otunga and Booker T in reviewing and predicting all the action for tonight! What does the last WWE PPV of 2019 have in store?

WWE TLC becomes TMZ.

Rusev and Lana have been having yet another rocky love affair, and that includes Lana “tongue wrestling” with the Rocky Mountain Machine. Restaurant brawls, wild rumors, a pregnancy scam, restraining orders, and multiple arrests on both sides. The only thing left was divorce. Rusev and Lana are split, but on the condition of the Bulgarian Brute getting “Bob” Lashley in a Tables Match! And it all happens on #RUSEVDAY!

Lana and Lashley are live via video. Has this been worth it? Their relationship has definitely be worth it. THe only real problem is Rusev’s jealousy. Getting rid of him means it’ll be Ravishing Ever After. Otunga questions manipulating the legal system. Is he a therapist? How about Otunga’s relationship? How about getting in Otunga’s face? Booker wants to redirect things to the match, but he does have to wonder if this relationship is keeping him from the better opportunities? Lashley needed an ally, and now he has a lover. Lana isn’t holding him back. Let’s leave it at that. Lana says she can do a better Spinaroonie. Why is everyone constantly attacking her? They have their own issues so they should mind their own business!

Charly wants to ask if Lana’s Lashley loses to Rusev. Is that Renee? Oh wait, Wannabe Renee! The girl that does Renee’s job worse after Renee got her own show. If Charly keeps asking all these stupid questions, she should not come anywhere near the locker room. Because Lana’s Bobby IS going to destroy Rusev! But sorry, she’s just realy flustered. Lashley says tonight will be a very easy win. Lana says this will finish Rusev. It will literally CRUSH her ex! Coachman has them cut from Lana’s rant. Charly says Lana is not one to take seriously, no matter what. But will the Tables Match “literally” be the end of this grudge one way or another?

The Revival interrupt the panel.

They’re talking about Authors of Pain being an unstoppable team? They should be talking about the soon-to-be four-time tag team champions! But that’s fine, ignore Dash & Dawson like the rest of this company does. AOP is better than them? Well maybe after tonight, The Revival proves everyone wrong! After winning the tag titles, maybe Booker and his “better half” get in the ring, Booker and Stevie Ray will learn who is the better team! This is serious talk! Let them Texas boys get a Carolina beating! Is Harlem Heat going to stop The Revival? Maybe those HOF rings should go to the #TopGuys! Ladder match, SmackDown Tag Titles, the best team on this DAMN PLANET! When Booker is ready to go, come find them! The Revival “politely” hand their mics to Coach before heading out. The Revival and The New Day open the main show!

Booker T takes a moment to let us know that he didn’t respond, because sometimes you gotta go down to their level to raise them up. Booker did not want to go viral on the internet, but he promises something will happen. When and where will Dash & Dawson learn some respect?

Aleister Black speaks.

“About one’s career, there’s always this one competitor. This one person that challenges your move set.” Buddy Murphy is that one for Aleister. He makes Aleister contemplate everything he’s done. Even beyond TLC, Aleister feels they are destined to do this forever. Unless Aleister “amputates” Murphy from his career tonight, and makes him #FadeToBlack. And all of this, because Murphy decided to pick. A fight. With him.

Firefly Fun House has a special TLC edition!

“Let. Me. In.” Bray decorates a Christmas Ladder! Season’s greetings! As the year comes to a close, we should all reflect on how we’ve been. Did you make friends or enemies? Did you hurt or heal someone? Were you naughty or nice? Either way, in the end, we’re all the same. We’re all humans and we all make mistakes. That’s why you need to remember that everyone, good or bad, naughty or nice, demon or angel, everyone needs some TLC. Tables, Ladders and Chairs and your imagination! Choose your weapon, and let the festivities begin!

Backstage interview with King Baron Corbin.

The Wolf King has his own TLC match with Roman Reigns. After smothering him with dog food, Roman Reigns was unleashed. Is Corbin concerned about facing Roman in such a dangerous match? Being concerned is for peasants and nerds. Roman thinks he has the upper-hand, but Corbin has him where he wants him. Corbin has won mentally, and now he’ll win physically. Corbin will use tables, ladders and chairs to show Roman who his master is, and make him #BendTheKnee.

The Bulgarian Brute’s reaction to the supposed proposal of Lashley to Lana is, “I’m elated!” By law, when Lana remarries, he doesn’t have to pay alimony. That is one reason to be thankful. Rusev is also thankful to be free after all this harassment. The only rule tonight is to put Lashley through a table. Whatever plans Lana had planned should just be cancelled, because she’s going to be stuck picking out splinters from Lashley’s back. Rusev is ready to celebrate RUSEV DAY!

Backstage interview with The Miz.

The Hollywood A-Lister lets us know that Monroe is fine, and safe. After last Friday, the entire family is in an undisclosed location to not take any chances. Bray Wyatt isn’t just unpredictable, he’s a monster. Maybe even more than The Fiend. Is Miz worried about being changed? Does it matter? Bray violated the sanctity of Miz’s home!

Miz isn’t fighting as a WWE superstar but as a husband, father and a man protecting his family! Miz is willing to fight anyone, or anything, in that ring tonight. But will he make it through the night against a truly twisted individual?

Miz hasn’t moved, and Bray grins as he drags the mallet over menacingly. But wait, the lights go out? This is usually The Fiend’s move! Bray is so excited! “HE’S HERE! HE’S HERE!” Who is here?! The Fiend can’t be here, because Bray is here! Bray looks around, but when he turns around, KNEE PLUS! That’s DANIEL BRYAN!

And when they come back up, Bray is gone. But the Universal Championship is still here. Bryan hammers the mat, and stands up top.

Winners: The Kabuki Warriors; still WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions

The Man was so close and yet so far from becoming #BeckyTwoBelts again! But in the end, the Empress and the Princess were the superior duo! Is there going to be a duo that can even come close?

Wait! That backstage brawl from before has spilled out to ringside!

It’s Mayhem in Minneapolis! as The Viking Raiders and The OC have joined the fray for a crossbrand battle! Roman yanks off railing!? And he uses it to RAM Corbin! Roman pursues Corbin up higher while the New Day, the Viking Raiders, The Street Profits, The OC, Shorty G, and all the King’s Court are brawling in a cluster! Roman and Corbin brawl high up above, but Roman SPEARS Corbin onto everyone!! TLC goes off the air, but what does this mean for the rest of the holiday season?!

My Thoughts:

This TLC was off to a hot start but it sure went cold and rather sideways before the end. For a kickoff match, Carrillo VS Almas was great! Carrillo gets another win, and the dysfunction between Almas and Vega grows stronger. I don’t know if I want to see that duo split up or not, but I’m sure there’s a way to make both possibilities work out. The SmackDown Tag Title ladder match was an amazing opener, though very scary at times when it comes to knee damage. I really thought Dawson and Big E were really hurt, but it seems they were fortunate to still be walking. It’s really tough to say how New Day retaining affects things. It’s good for Kofi to still have something but the Revival really could’ve used another reign. Though, Revival getting in Booker’s face during the kickoff show, that could make for an incredible WrestleMania match with Harlem Heat.

Aleister VS Murphy was pretty great, especially when you factor in Aleister’s bloody and possibly broken nose. He still finished the match and got his win in a real fight feel, that sudden Black Mass knockout. Not sure where Aleister goes from here other than the US Championship. At the same time, Lesnar has to do something for Royal Rumble, I’m just not sure if it’s time for Aleister to go for the world title yet. Sadly, things started really dropping off after this. I was right to think The OC would answer the open challenge, but this match wasn’t much more than what you’d get on a Raw. Also those “fans” were so obviously not fans if they were eating KFC in front of the barriers. I kinda wish the KFC table spot would’ve been part of the match. Sure it would’ve disqualified the match, but it would’ve brought the actual quality up. From endless squash matches to a product placement match, Vince just doesn’t know how to use either of those teams, does he?

Roman VS Corbin was on its way to being a good non-title TLC, but it got overbooked with Ziggler and The Revival coming out without any retaliation. I’m also surprised this match didn’t main event given the actual ending of the show. If Vince wanted that moment to end the show, then let their TLC match main event. Why have that brawl break out between Faces and Heels of both Raw and SmackDown like that, too? Limit it only to SmackDown, and then still go to that same spot and have Roman spear Corbin onto the pile. But instead, things “spill out” immediately after the women’s tag title match ended, just so Vince’s favorite story can be the last thing we see.

I also don’t think Bray VS Miz was booked effectively. I did like that Bray was laughing off the pain and not even really trying to fight Miz until the end. I suppose we were all expecting too much for Bryan to be on Bray’s side, but I would’ve at least wanted to see Bryan with a patchy beard before giving us his literal baby face from the NXT Reality TV days. Bray/Fiend VS Bryan for the Universal Championship at Royal Rumble might still be coming, but I’m not sure what to make of this right now.

Rusev VS Lashley was alright, but Table Matches are becoming like Cage Matches to me. How can you book these things creatively when there’s only so much the thing in question can do? There’s limits to the cage, there’s limits to the table. It worked out they had the two tables set up, as that Spear didn’t work. I don’t think that was the plan, but it was good to have a back-up plan. Lana started planting the seeds of Lashley dumping her, too, in the kickoff. Even he had a hard time dealing with her verbal outbursts. I really hope they don’t drag this out too much, I don’t know how much longer I can take Lana being so strongly cringe worthy on purpose.

The Women’s Tag TLC was pretty scary at times, such as Asuka going into chair legs and Kairi apparently boomeranging a chair into herself. It was also sloppy, as it just seems like Kairi and Charlotte haven’t learned to sync up. There was good innovation during this match, though, such as bringing in a bull rope to combine it with the ladder. I won’t say I’m disappointed we didn’t get PCB reunited with Paige screwing over the Kabuki Warriors, because the Kabuki Warriors do really deserve to keep those titles. Honestly, when Starrcade gave us the Fatal 4 Way tag, that was a superior match but probably because it allowed Bliss-Cross and Bayley-Banks to take some of the responsibility. For what this match was, I was able to enjoy it pretty well. This should probably be the last of it between these two teams, to try and get SmackDown in on these tag titles now.

My Score: 7.9/10
