TLC 2011

{unique video package to open the show with the christmas theme but still hyping the matches}

 Ziggler/ryder: this was a perfect mix of entertaining story and great in ring chemistry and cole/jerry on commentary just made it so much more better (5 stars)

Airboom vs epico/primo: decent enough filler as they did let challengers look good and it had a few exicting moments from the champs (2.5 stars)

{cant deny the ending of that hornswoggle and teddy segment made me laugh}

Orton/wade: i dont know if this had the intensity the story called for to make it great but it was still very solid work by both men with some creative spots and letting wade look good even in defeat (3.25 stars)

{skippable diva’s title}

Nash/HHH: i didnt have expectations for this match but i do think it delivered well they used the friendship angle very well to know each others weaknesses very well and i thought they brought the right amount of anger; surpsingly great match (4 stars)

Sheamus/swagger: decent enough hard hitting filler (2 stars)

Show/henry: it was a decent enough match to end this feud for the year with the chairs stip and the chair being the cause of everything; maybe just a touch on the short side but nothing horrible (2 stars)

{the pop when dbry cashed in was really cool nice moment after the hard work he put in}

Cody/booker: this wasnt some classic but they alot of good letting booker look good so that when cody did win it gave him a good rub (3 stars)

Miz/ADR/punk: this didnt have the big spots one would think of when they think this type of match but it still had good enough violence that fit the story and the handcuff spots did add some decent drama (3.25 stars)

{ultimately a great show to close out 2011 as even the weakest matches were not bad filler ans you had a classic in the opener, one surprisingly great match, and several other good matches}

TLC 2020

Drew/miz/styles: I really can't say that miz added much to this but everything before he tried to cash in was strong with good violence and that leg work ans selling being strong also (3.5 stars) banks/carmella: I don't usually think of carmella matches as good but can honestly say this was her best match of this entire marathon that I've done as they really made me believe that she had a chance and her and banks worked amazingly well together (3.5 stars) newday/hurtbusiness: this was great fast paced action combined with amazing drama as these two teams work very well together (4 stars) Womens tag titles: pretty run of the mill forumla stuff but it seemed like a big deal when the titles changed hands and everyone enjoyed it so (2.75 stars) {roman/owens was skippable with the usual eyeroll worthy not only cant get win on his own cant even control a match on his own that would make alot of the 2020s unwatchable} Wyatt/orton: it was good for what it was with two evil beings t...

Extreme rules 2019

{opener was a skip} Usos/revival: a fun but run of the mill tag match between teams who did work quite well together (3 stars) Cesaro/black: this was a great hard hitting sprint with some awesome counter wrestling also (4 stars) {handicap matches are always a skip for me} Braun/lashley: while i do feel like braun could have sold his supposed injuries alot better and more consistently i cant deny this was a very fun battle of the beasts style match with the right anount of intensity and right winner (3.5 stars) Sd tag title 3 way: i honestly forgot new day won here thats cool in terms of the match it was all standard multi team affair but alot of fun moments throughout for sure (3.25 stars) Ricochet/styles:a hard match for me to grade as matches with interference like this one had usally automatically get lower scores or go into dud category but i cant really do that here because take away the prematch stuff and ending and this was some really strong workrate between the two (3 stars) J...
