WWE - TLC - Tables, Ladders & Chairs 2009 [DVD]

As the title says, in my opinion, this was the best PPV of the year for WWE. Besides Wrestlemania.

This PPV was a totally new concept and the first ever of it's kind. There has been a lot of negative feedback about WWE changing some PPV names and giving the PPV's stipulations. But this PPV impressed me.

TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs. A gauranteed extreme night. With WWE going PG, I was unsure whether this PPV would flop. Because tables, ladders and chairs is extreme and if they tamed it up for the PG era, then the PPV would be a total fail. But nope, it was impressive.

The matches are:

Shelton Benjamin Vs Christian (c) - ECW Championship Match - Ladder Match

This match was totally extreme and an amazing way to open the PPV. So many amazing spots including Christian diving crossbody across Shelton which totally smashed the ladder in two. Christian got busted open early on and the match was in a way stopped momentarily. But great match, great start to the event. This match was probably best of the night.

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

This match was okay, nothing special about it, but it was watchable and had some nice spots. Good match for the PPV.

Michelle McCool (c) Vs Mickie James - Women's Championship Match

Just your average women's match. Nothing special, not very interesting. A 7 minute filler for the PPV.

Sheamus Vs John Cena (c) - WWE Championship Match - Tables Match

The most shocking match of the night and potentially the biggest upset in WWE history. A pretty good match with a shocking outcome. The outcome was very sloppy and at first looked like a botch and as though it wasn't suppose to have ended in that way. We'll never know if it was a botch or not, but overall, it was a good match and amazing for Sheamus who got an almighty push whether it was planned or not.

The Undertaker Vs Batista - World Heavyweight Championship Match - Chair Match

This match didn't excite me much on that card. Chair match seems kinda boring, since head shots got banned. The match wasn't a totaly flop and it had a little excitement with Batista winning after a cheap shot and then Teddy Long (Smackdown General Manager) came out and ordered the match to restart, resulting in Undertaker retaining the title. A nice way to add a little excitement and a little emotion from the crowd. Match wasn't great.

Randy Orton Vs Kofi Kingston

A decent match. Their fued had been pretty entertaining and Kofi was doing an awesome job. Predictable outcome, but good match.

DX Vs Chris Jericho and The Big Show

A great main event. Wrestling wise it was good. Entertainment wise it was very fun. Back and fourth action. Outside ring action. We saw all 3 objects being used which was great. The ending was awesome too. It's a must see match for any DX fan. Great ending to one of the last DX matches we will ever see.

Overall, it is a great PPV and a great DVD. I would recommend this to ANY WWE fan because in my opinion this was the best PPV of 2009. It had some great matches and generally the whole night was really extreme. It's a shame Jeff parted ways beforehand because this PPV event was made for guys like Jeff Hardy.

This was a really good PPV I enjoyed it a lot. When i watched it live i didn't recon much of it but when I watched it yesterday I thought it was really good I was excited all the way through.
The ladder match was really good and I liked the Sheamus Vs Cena tables match, I like nearly every match.

But match of the PPV I really loved Randy Orton Vs Kofi Kingston I thought this was a really great exciting fast paced match and plus Im a really big fan of Orton and I think Kingston is gonna be a big star in the future.

The thing I thought was bad is I didn't like the main event I love JeriShow but not a big fan of DX and i hated them winning the tag titles they decreased the value and in parts the match was a bit dull in parts.

Apart from that it was a really good PPV and if you haven't seen it just buy, it is certainly one of the best PPV's of the year.

WWE TLC 2009 Match Ratings

1. Christian vs Shelton Benjamin (Ladder Match for ECW Championship) 4/5

Good way to start the pay-per-view off.

2. John Morrison vs Drew McIntyre (WWE Intercontinental Championship) 3/5

Drew McIntyre's first official best match of his first little year in WWE. Drew really worked hard in this match, and pretty much dodged everything that Morrison was throwing at him.

3. Mickie James vs Michelle McCool (WWE Women's Championship) 2/5

Have to admit that this match between the two was better, than the match they have at WWE Royal Rumble 2010.

4. John Cena vs Sheamus (Table Match for WWE Championship) 4/5

One word to say about this match, is shocking. After debuting and destroying everything in his path, it was Sheamus who shocked the entire WWE universe, when he put Cena through a table, to become the new WWE Champion.

5. Undertaker vs Batista (Chair Match for World Heavyweight Championship) 3/5

Never been a fan of this match, and found this to be one of the weaker matches of the pay-per-view. Both Undertaker and Batista had a set of good and brutal matches in 2007, but this match was didn't compare to what they could have done.

6. Randy Orton vs Kofi Kingston 4/5

Probably my second favorite match of the pay-per-view, a lot of good wrestling in this one. A lot of domination by Orton, who pretty much had the upper hand. Kofi did manage to throw in some high flying moves, in and out of the ring, but it was an RKO that sealed the win for the Viper.

7. DX vs Chris Jericho & Big Show (TLC Match for WWE Unified Tag Team Championship) 4/5

For being a huge D Generation X fan, this was my top favorite match of the pay-per-view. All three weapons that were legal in this match, was used, especially the likes of ladders and chairs. A great TLC match in my opinion, and was great to see DX leaving the arena as the new WWE Unified Tag Team champions.
