Tables, Ladders, and Chairs XII - 12/20/2020

Haven't watched much WWE these past couple months but we enjoyed most of this PPV.   

I know it will catch a lot of hate online and rightly so but I thought Orton/Fiend was the best possible Inferno Match..   The visual setting looked cool to me. 

Roman/K.O. delivered and Sasha/Carmella delivered big time as well.  Good stuff.  

Love seeing The Hurt Business with all that gold.

What was the point of the Lana angle at all? Most of this feud was built around her, and they took her out of the match at the last minute. I don't get it. They didn't need to have some sort of 5 star classic for a payoff for this.

21 years ago, Jeff Jarrett shook Vince down for six figures to drop the Intercontinental title to Chyna.

Tonight, he appeared on PPV, in his third run with WWE, and is still cashing checks from Vince after all those years.

The moral of the story is simply this; NEVER STOP HUSTLING.

If I see one person defend that little end segment, I will fly off into an uncontrollable rage. Pure utter dog shit. The work was fine in the match. Solid psychology. A few good teases. But then legit cable access level effects to set a body on fire that they didn't even PRETEND TO TRY and make look authentic. Just hokey embarrassing horse shit.

I don't mind Asuka & Charlotte winning, but it sure would be nice if they could balance a Women's Tag Title feud without needing the singles champions to be a part of it. I hate when they do that for the men too. But it's even more egregious with the women.

But yeah man. Burning sex dolls with a Fiend mask on them is not my idea of high art, or good storytelling. Just so fucking depressing that this is what the number once pro wrestling company in the world is. Bad fake hokey cringe worthy stupid low grade horror effects. That will just be ignored when Fiend shows up tomorrow like nothing happened.

Didn't see every match, but thought it overdelivered. Sasha-Carmella and Reigns-Owens were both legit good matches by any standard.

I have zero investment in the characters, so I watched the Inferno match to see someone get set on fire. Someone did in fact get set on fire, and no one was seriously hurt. Seems good to me!

WWE Women's Grand Slam Champions: Bayley was the first then Asuka, Sasha Banks and now Charlotte Flair. Bayley was the only one to complete it in 2019, Asuka/Sasha Banks/Charlotte Flair this year. Sasha Banks is the only one to win the three main women's roster titles in one year, 2020.

I wasn't expecting much out of Sasha/Carmella but it ended up totally over-delivering. Sasha didn't even do all of the heavy lifting either.

The end of AJ/Drew was well done and made me think McIntyre might actually drop the belt.

If they're going to make a serious go of the women's tag division, I wish they'd rely more on actual teams than throwing together two upper card singles wrestlers, one of whom already has a title. I'd be more interested in a Charlotte/Shayna singles program.

So far this weekend I've watched a few indy deathmatch shows where dudes were legitimately setting eachother on fire so I feel like a bit of a hypocrite saying this, but the main event was utter shit. They could have at least done another of their cinematic matches if they were going to go with that level of nonsense. The ending coupled with Bray's cryptic tweet above makes me think we're getting yet another gimmick switch for him which will likely also go nowhere.

I prefer actual tag teams to single wrestlers coming together, the art of specialist tag teams having the advantage over two singles. You can do two singles as a special attraction and make two singles paired together as a throwaway tag team but becoming a unit in the process.

Can we please retire the Money in the Bank concept now? 

Was going to mention how fucking idiotic Miz was in cashing in during the match and not immediately afterwards.  

Also, it seemed like they turned AJ face in it?

Only memorable recent ones: Boombox Brock last year. Dean Ambrose at Money in the Bank 2016 when all three Shield members held the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in one night. Seth Rollins at WrestleMania XXXI making it a triple threat for the WWE Championship between Brock Leaner and Roman Reigns.
