At least 3 people I think quit the show following that promo. HHH WEEDING OUT THE WEAK!

How dare you Big Z. Lord Meltzer himself rated this match a ****1/2

[Big Z]

What does he know? I bet he doesn't even use the CAL SCALE. And he stole STARS from Norm Dooley.

[Punter]

True enough

I've fluctuated on that match. Sometimes it's ****1/4, and sometimes it's ****1/2.

Fucking awesome match though. I love it, and everyone played their characters majestically.

[Obfuscation]

I'd rank every TLC match atm, only I think I should give the TLC 2010 ones another go. Four Way was one I loved, but maybe I shut my brain off for it and didn't realize some gaping holes. Never liked Miz vs King much so maybe a rewatch to witness it was better than I originally thought is fitting.

Rest are locked in with how I feel. Majority gets a from me.

I've just got up TLC III and I will be doing a live feedback of it as I watch. I'm genuinely excited as I honestly can't for the life of me remember anything about it, here we go:

Aaaah the ovaltron, how I love thee. Damn I miss that ovaltron, always thought it was better than the fist although nothing against the fist as I absolutely loved that too.

Bubba Ray takes hits like a champ, I guess that is what growing up in ECW does for ya. That seat drop off the top rope always looked like it hurt when it missed, fuck my ass already feels like a Japanese flag just thinking about it. He also hits like a champ, brilliant ladder throw at Jeff Hardy, even better than the chair he threw at Hardy at TLC I.

WALLS OF FUCKING JERICHO ON TOP OF THE LADDER. Now that is awesome. I always thought something like that was missing from TLC I but we didn't have any submission specialists in the original. Straight after that, damn Christian went over the fucking top rope from the ladder, not sure that was planned but that looked like it hurt! Please don't try this at home.

A fucking suplex off the ladder now. This is brilliant. I'm about 7 or so minutes into the actual match and I can feel that this is going feel like a much better watch overall than TLC I. It's been awesome thus far, I can't believe I haven't seen this any sooner. Fuck my life.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSUPPPPPP.

Jesus H. Christ, Chris Jericho just took a shot to the head like a pro, what a hit. Nice 3D to the table on Christian, saw that at TLC I though but I suppose it HAD to happen!

I'm not Hardys biggest fan but I respect all the times he has done something that I know has physically hurt his body for the entertainment of the fans and that leg drop over the ladder and through Bubba and the announce table was sweet as hell.

Fuckkk, we got another spear spot from the top of the ladder, that was brilliant. Not quite as good as Hardys one (just because it was so fucking epic and had to be perfect) but it was still pretty damn sweet to see!

and Benoit climbs the ladder, selling the beating and his ribs to a tee, and regains the gold for himself and Jericho. Damn what a fine fucking match.

I can't believe this was on TV. It was better than any of the PPV TLC matches I have ever seen and it is a definite **** 1/2, just superb from all men. I just wish one day we can get something even half as good as the tag team division was in the late 90s/early 00s in the WWE.

TLC III love .

On mention of the Edge Spear from the ladder while Jeff hangs from the belts... everyone should check out the E&C/Hardys Ladder Match from Raw in like, September 2000. Edge first (I think?) does the spear spot there, albeit not from such a high ladder. Plus its a great match and very forgotten. It got released on the Ladder Match 2 set, so no excuses for people to not watch it now its available .

Watching the 05 RR event. Looks like it'll be a great overall event with only one potential bad match, but who knows I may change my mind.

[Obfuscation]

Two matches are bad, imo. One is fun from a guilty pleasure standpoint, but the other is boring. (probably the same one you think would be bad - HHH/Orton.) Rest are fine. Rumble match was the highlight. Take a guess at which is my guilty pleasure match on the event.

NXT 1/16/13

1) Adrian Neville vs Sakamoto ~ *


2) Trent Barreta vs Leo Kruger ~ 3/4*


3) NXT Championship
Big E. Langston(c) vs Camacho ~ DUD


4) International Airstrike (Tyson Kidd & Justin Gabriel) vs Antonio Cesaro & Damien Sandow ~ *


Hugely disappointing main event. Was so uninspired and vanilla. Only thing to take away from this show is PAC's debut, Ohno on commentary, & how Big E. Langston continues to be one of the worst things I've ever seen in the world of wrestling. A "5 count" gimmick.

Wow, that's crazy. That main event sounds great on paper, I didn't even know that match was happening/had happened.

Wonder if this is the show where Tyson got injured on(well not initially but re-injured)?

[Obfuscation]

Yeah, I was hyped for it too. Time wasn't an issue - it went 7:59 - it just was very bleh. Just there.

I don't think this was the match that sparked injury. Kidd seemed 100% and with what the finish was, I doubt he'll be able to do it if he was aggravated to possibly being re-injured. iirc, I heard it happened at a live event.
