TL;DR: Watch the first match, skip the rest of it.
WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders, Chairs...and Stairs was supposed to be the event that made the world forget all about Kevin St--I mean Owens debuting on Thursday. After the opening match between Dolph Ziggler and Luke Harper, I had high hopes. That match was full of psychology, high spots, underdog stories, color--pretty much everything I grew to love about wrestling over the years. I was sure that we'd get a great show.
The rest of the show fell flat...on its face. Now, I won't go into detail about the rest of the event. I'm too mentally drained to do so. However, it was one head-scratching-ly painful sequence of events after another.
For the main takeaways, John Cena went over Seth Rollins (and we suffered through another stilted promo from the returning Roman Reigns). Of course, this still means that Rollins probably cashes in on Cena, but at this point I'm pretty much apathetic towards the whole thing. Then, we had AJ Lee contract "chemical conjunctivitis" because Brie Bella sprayed her with some water/hair spray/bleach/leftover bottles of Arrogance that they let out the vault after twenty years. About an hour later, Dean Ambrose electrocutes himself with a TV monitor into a Sister Abigail from Bray Wyatt. The match itself was alright, but the ending completely ruined it.
Again...watch the Ziggler/Harper match. Skip the rest.
