Rylan and Vince are back with another deep dive into WWE’s past — this time revisiting the very first-ever TLC: Tables, Ladders, and Chairs pay-per-view from December 2009.
This historic event marked the beginning of a new annual tradition for WWE, and the card was packed with chaos, high-risk spots, and a fair share of forgettable feuds. The guys break down standout moments from the night, including:
A show-stealing ladder match for the ECW Championship between Christian and Shelton Benjamin that proved the “C” in ECW stood for crazy athleticism
A brutal Chairs Match between Batista and Undertaker for the World Heavyweight Championship, featuring one of the worst examples of “Teddy Long Justice”
A forgettable feud blow-off between Mickie James and Michelle McCool, with commentary that aged about as well as milk
An unexpected title win in the main event as Sheamus challenges John Cena for the WWE Championship in a Tables Match that shocked fans and set a new direction for Monday nights
Whether you're nostalgic for late-2000s WWE or just want to hear two fans pick apart one of the more bizarre transitional periods in wrestling history, this episode has you covered.
Give it a listen now and hear why this TLC card had a little bit of everything — the good, the bad, and the "wait, why was that a match?"
