The state of the WWE: Aftermath of TLC 2011

Hello Everyone,

First off i want to appolgize for the lack of updates. I have been watching WWE Programing though including The Slammy's Last monday night.

This Blog is about the Annual TLC PPV that WWE puts on in December.

I really enjoyed this ppv and it was a refreshing night. It made things pick up again as well as New YOUNG Champions. I loved every match and was not disappointed by any of them.

First Match:

United States Championship:

Dolph Ziggler (C) Vs Zack Ryder

Winner by Pinfall: And NEW US Champion, Zack Ryder!

My Pick: Zack Ryder

So with this match which was a very good showing by both men opening the show. I am 1-0. I wanted Zack to win and i thought he would. I want Zack to be ahead of the Mid -Card Division and have Dolph move up to the Main Event. He has worked his ass off and has had much better matches than most Main Eventers.

Match 2:

WWE Tag Team Championship:

Air Boom (C) Vs Primo and Epico

Winner by Pinfall: And Still Champions, Air Boom!

My Pick: Air Boom -

I am now 2-0 (which is a great start lol)

This was a entertaining Match, Nice to see a New Tag Team challenge for the Titles. Hopefully it continues however, i am not a fan of matches being added to a show during the show. With that though, there was 3 added like that which i was very upset with. However i was happy about there being 9 - 10 matches on the card.

Match 3:

Tables Match:

Randy Orton Vs Wade Barrett

Winner: Randy Orton

My Pick - Wade Barrett

So i am 2-1 but its ok. I enjoyed this match but the end was predictable. I called the ending which i guess isnt that big of a deal since im a ex wrestler, but i am sure many people did too. Overall though, it was a good showing by both men.

Match 4:

Diva's Championship:

Beth Phoenix (C) Vs Kelly Kelly

My Pick: Beth Phoenix

Winner: Still Champion, Beth Phoenix

3-1 is my record now

I enjoyed this match but once again it was one of the 3 added without being advertised. I'm not a fan of that but i did enjoy the match. I had a feeling Beth would retain. I don't like the fact they are making her weark and making Kelly so strong. It's a Given that Beth is stronger, so make her dominate.

Match 5:

Sledgehammer Ladder Match:

My Pick: Kevin Nash

Winner: Triple H

I am 3-2 now lol

I wanted Nash to win to pro - long the rival but i understand why Triple H won. It was a good showing by both men. people are upset that Nash botched the Pediagree..I don't see it that way. U know what i saw? a man selling a knee injury - HHH did bang his knees ALOT in the match. People look way into things way to much. I respect the hell out of Kevin Nash and i love the guy.

Match 6:

Sheamus Vs Jack Swagger

My Pick: Sheamus

Winner: Sheamus

4-2

It was a good match but all this was, was to fill in empty spots for the show. I would have rathered them give the Triple Threat Match more time than this. Sheamus beat Swagger in a big fashion.

Match 7:

Intercontinental Championship:

Cody Rhodes (C) Vs Booker T

My Pick: Cody Rhodes

Winner and still Chmapion, Cody Rhodes

I am now 5-2

Did anyone expect Booker to win? Honestly?? I did enjoy the sneak attacks and it added to the emotion in the match. I am so impressed with Cody and love the gimmic. I see GREAT things in his future. I wouldn't be suprised if he drops the Title in a month or so and gets moved up to the Main Event too.

Match 8:

World Heavyweight Championship:
Chairs match

Mark Henry (C) Vs Big Show

My Pick: Mark Henry

Winner; New World Champion Big Show

5-3

I honestly thought Henry would retain and was shocked by the short match they had. I later learned that he was injured which is why this all happened. I was happy for Show however i was VERY HAPPY! - That Daniel Bryan cashed in and won the World title. Big Congrats to the kid and i hope he enjoys it.

Match 9:

Big Show (C) Vs Daniel Bryan

Winner and NEW World Champion: Daniel Bryan

Match 10:

WWE Championship
TLC Match

CM Punk (C) Vs Alberto Del Rio Vs The Miz

My Pick: CM Punk

I am 6-3 to finish off the PPV and i am very happy about that lol

Winner and Still WWE Champion, CM Punk!

This match ended up being just as good as i imagined. Good Spots by all men and i loved the adversity with Punk cause it helped keep fans emotionally attatched. Great match and great Win by the Best in the World!

I really enjoyed this PPV. A Big Congrats to Daniel Bryan and Zack Ryder.
