WWE TLC PPV Results Aired On: 12/18/2011 Report by: Jason Powell & ProWrestling.net
The show opened with a video that had a “Night Before Christmas” narration. It touched on the various matches and the TLC theme… Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler introduced the show from
ringside…
1. Zack Ryder defeated Dolph Ziggler (w/Vickie Guerrero) to win the U.S. Title in 10:25. Ziggler jumped out to the first stretch of prolonged offense. Ryder came back with a nice missile dropkick around 6:00. It was a pro-Ryder crowd. He had Ziggler pinned at 6:45, but Vickie reached in and put Ziggler’s leg over the bottom rope. The ref saw it and sent Vickie backstage.
Ziggler went for his finisher and missed. He hit the move moments later and went for the cover, but Ryder kicked out. The crowd wasn’t as hot for the kick out as one might expect them to be given how into the match they’ve been. Ryder came back with a beautiful dropkick.
Ziggler looked to the crowd before going to the ropes. Ziggler caught him and performed a hurcanrana off the ropes that resulted in a good near fall. Ryder set up for his finisher, but Ziggler shoved him over his head and into the corner, then rolled him up for a good near fall of his own. A “Let’s Go Ryder, Woo Woo Woo” chant broke out.
Ryder hit the Rough Ryder a short time later and scored the clean pin to win the title. The cameras cut to a scowling Cole. Ugh. They went back to Ryder, who went to ringside and celebrated the win with his father in the front row. He did the “Woo Woo Woo” routine and the crowd enthusiastically chanted along. “Finally!” Ryder yelled…
Backstage, Booker was talking with Alicia Fox when Cody Rhodes attacked him from behind. Cody ran him into a rolling cart and put the boots to him until referees intervened. Booker got back to his his knees and yelled…
Rey Mysterio and Booker T were featured in a Slim Jim spot…
2. Evan Bourne and Kofi Kingston defeated Primo and Epico (w/Rosa Mendes) to retain the WWE Tag Titles. The crowd was hot for Air Boom from the start. Bourne hit a big dive onto Epico on the floor and then Kofi hit Trouble in Paradise on Primo to get the pin to win the match…
They went backstage to Josh Mathews for an update on Booker T. He said he didn’t know anything officially, but he saw Cody Rhodes walk by with a big smile on his face. Mathews assumed the match was off due to the way Cody was smiling…
Backstage, Teddy Long was dressed like Santa Claus and Hornswoggle was dressed like an elf. Hornswoggle said he’d never seen a black Santa. Teddy said no fat white man would go down the chimney in his neighborhood. Teddy said he saw Hornswoggle on Raw and it was terrible. He gave him an ebonics book. Hornswoggle pulled down Teddy’s beard and stomped his foot…
3. Randy Orton defeated Wade Barrett in a tables match at 10:13. Orton went to the floor early and picked up a table, but Barrett kicked the table into his head. Barrett tried to slide a table in the ring, but Orton popped it up into his head. They battled up the ramp where a number of tables were setup. Barrett lifted for a pump handle slam, but Orton rolled through and beat Barrett all the way back to the ring.
Orton tried for a suplex from the stairs onto a table, but Barrett escaped and slammed Orton into the post and then the stairs. Barrett slid one table in the ring and then setup one on the floor. The ended up back in the ring and Barrett worked Orton on the ropes. Barrett tried to kick Orton onto the table on the floor, but Orton grabbed the rope and crashed to the apron in a nice spot.
Barrett setup a table in the corner in the ring and lifted Orton for a power slam. Orton slid out and hit a clothesline. He hit his scoop slam and went for the rope DDT. Barrett flipped Orton over the top and tried for Wasteland on the table. Orton slid out and hit the rope DDT. He went for an RKO, but Barrett almost pushed him on the corner table and followed with a sidewalk slam. He sat the table up and put Orton on it. He jumped off the second rope and Orton popped up and hit the RKO through the table for the win.
