New Champions Crowned at WWE TLC
So I watched the replay of this event last night and it was actually better then I thought it would be. I want to start out with the ECW Championship because that was a really great match to watch. Christian and Shelton Benjiman put it all on the line and definitely made the WWE realize they are two of the most underrated wrestlers on the whole entire roster. Christian won the match and retained his title but Shelton gained a lot of respect with his performance.
Then Drew McIntyre defeated John Morrison in a really good match between two young guys who are the future of the wrestling business. There is no doubt in my mind the Morrison’s loss is a good thing because I really think he’ll get pushed for the World Heavyweight Championship. I have often criticized WWE for not pushing younger talent and now they are.
Speaking of pushing people what about the match between Kofi Kingston and Randy Orton. Both men brought their A game with them and it was definitely a good match to watch. Kofi may have lost but in my mind proved he can hang with the best in the WWE.
Speaking of the best in the WWE, what another good match between Undertaker and Batista. It wasn’t a great as their Wrestlemania 23 classic but it was solid. I loved how Teddy Long returned the favor to the Undertaker and helped him retain his World Heavyweight Championship. I am hoping they have a rematch and it will be better then this match. I am not saying this match was horrid but I believe they could a lot better.
In a match that was a question mark for me. Sheamus shocked the world and defeated John Cena to become the new WWE Champion. This is definitely one of the quickest pushes anyone has ever seen in the WWE. He’s won the title in shorter amount of time on TV then I think anyone in the history of the WWE. Sheamus is definitely a great wrestler and it helps that he’s a natural. Congrats to Sheamus on becoming the new WWE Champion.
The match that I wanted to see the most was DX vs. Jeri-Show. This match did not disappoint at all. I was really happy to see DX finally win the WWE Tag Team Championships. Both Hunter and Shawn have had historical careers and they added to their history last night. It’s great to see Shawn with a title again and get respect and accolades he deserves. It was a phenomenal match last night. What a great pay-per-view to end the year. First pay per view of 2010 is the Royal Rumble on January 31st and then begins the Road to Wrestlemania. It should be a great 2010 and a great Road to Wrestlemania. Stay tuned for more.
