It's pretty damn surreal to see Punk and Bryan standing side by side with those titles.

It kind of bugs me that people are complaining that the TLC match didn't have enough huge bumps. I'm personally glad that it didn't, the match was built perfectly and had more psychology than almost any ladder match I've seen in a long time. I thought it was amazing. My run down: Ryder/Ziggler- Really good match, though i think both could have done better. The finish was perfect, and the pop was huge, so I'm happy with it. Primo and Epico/Air boom- Again, could have been better, but I had a lot of fun watching it. I'm just happy tag team wrestling got on the ppv. We need more teams. HHH/Nash- Very good brawl, more or less what I expected. Orton/Barret- I'm sick of people doing dives that are very obviously feeding into the RKO, so I wasn't thrilled with the finish. Match was pretty amazing up to the point though. Divas match- Not awful, but Beth really should be looking stronger than she does, Rhodes/Booker- I liked it.. could have been better if not playing up the injury angle, but it furthers the feud nicely Big Show/Henry and Bryan cash in- Matches was going along really well before the out of nowhere finish. I'm still not sure about Bryan cashing in. I'm all for him being champ if they run with it, but I'm wary. I also wish he had done it in a real match. Jack Swagger/Sheamus- Not bad, but not great either. Sheamus needs a real feud. Punk/Del Rio/Miz- I loved it. There is nothing I would have changed. the handcuffs were a nice touch, though I'm not sure why he didn't hook the second one to his wrist to avoid getting hooked again, but whatever. It's crazy that he unbolted the rope with his hand. As someone who has worked ring crew, I can tell you that's no easy task. All in all, I'm really happy we bought the ppv. I'm also happy it didn't really cost me anything, as I had a $50 credit with the cable company, but even if I had paid, it would have been worth it I can't wait for the Rumble

Opening BoutWe open with the United States Championship match, and as I'm sure every broski in the world knows by now, the new United States Champion is Zack Ryder. I'm really happy about this because, one I'm a fan of Zack Ryder and two, I'm hoping this means Dolph gets elevated to the World title scene, and stays there. As for the match, it was average. The only thing I'm going to mention here is the Rough Ryder. Love the move, hate it as a finisher ... unless Dolph is selling it because he makes that move look like a finisher.Match Rating: 3/5 Bonus OneThe first bonus match was a tag team championship match. I was a bit worried Air Boom would lose, you know sort of as additional punishment for the suspension. They didn't and put on an average match up.Match Rating: 3/5 Tables MatchThis match started off a bit slow, but within three minutes or so, it became great. For the longest time, this was my favorite match of the night. All the false finishes were great, and even though I was rooting for Barrett, I thought the ending was great.Match Rating: 3.5/5 Bonus TwoDiva's time and as I feared, Kelly Kelly is back as number one contender. This was about as good as all their bouts have beenMatch Rating: 2.5/5 SledgehammiesCan't believe I actually typed Sledgehammies. Anyway, this didn't suck like I thought it would. Still, not that great, I'd probably say it was pretty bad. Sure it had it moments, the figure four, the finish, but it also had a lot of boring moments. Like whenever Nash took charge.Match Rating: 2/5 Bonus ThreeIt was alright.Match Rating: 3/5 Chairs MatchOkay, this one pissed me off. First, I've read on wiki, that this match only lasted five minutes and thirty-one seconds ... that is not acceptable! What's worse, is the finish. I'm sorry, Henry survived a chokelsam, and a top rope chokeslam in their vengeance match, but got put away because of a punch? And what I can only imagine, was a weaker than normal punch. I was also looking forward to this match, considering I enjoyed this last two matches but this was awful. At least everything after with Daniel Bryan was gold.Match Rating: 1.5/5 Intercontinental ChampionshipThis match disappointed, but again (as with Rhodes matches), I had pretty high expectations. Should'v stole the show, but was just average.Match Rating: 3/5 TLC*Sigh* ... in' Awesome! This match was great! A few spots didn't sit well with me, but on a whole, it was just a pleasure watching. The handcuffs were a great addition to the match, and the end actually made me think Punk wasn't going to retain. And I love them for that, whenever they put that doubt in me, and make me even more invested, it's really great. The enzuigiri spot was awesome, Punk's high knee was awesome, and Ricardo's spot was awesome. A few buffer moments (so to speak) keep this from achieving a five star, but it came pretty close.Match Rating: 4.5/5 Overall PPV Rating: 2.9/5 Since this is the end of the year PPV, I'm now going to list all the PPV's I saw and rated this year (only four, but I started watching PPV's fully again at Summerslam and I didn't rate that so...).Survivor Series: 3.7/5 Vengeance: 3.3/5 Hell In A Cell: 3/5 TLC: 2.9/5 Keep in mind, those scores are only based off match ratings. Result-wise, this is probably one of my favorites, Daniel Bryan and CM Punk as the World Champions is in' awesome on some many levels. When I stopped watching wrestling awhile ago for a few months when everything just got boring, I'd still check youtube just to watch something either Punk or Bryan was doing, and it was mid-card at best. To think now that those two guys are the World Champion, it's incredible. But, when it's all said in done, even if I didn't see TLC, I would of been just as excited finding out Daniel Bryan won the WHC, so the only variable I see worth to grade a PPV on, is the matches. At least for forum purposes.
This has been a great year for WWE, and I'm loving the way 2012 is shaping out to look.

I thought the PPV was good. Had its ups and downs but overall solid.
Bryan and Punk walking out as world champs is amazing, and really great to see.
The random ass Sheamus matches are kinda getting old. Get him in a real feud already so we can stop seeing the same damn 5 minute squash match.
Figured Kev wouldn't win, thought he coulda got a little more offense on Hunter though. Oh well...hopefully its not the end of Nash, and maybe there will be some sort of official end at Mania, possibly involving HBK.

From Nash's Twitter: "Thanks Paul, nice to end it with someone I love." I guess hes done for awhile. Also, here is The Sell Of The Night: Outstanding. And let us not forget the #HEEL Moment Of The Night Incredible.

I watched the PPV this morning & really enjoyed it. The cash in was quite a shock to me.

Did Nash really mess up the pedigree to be fair? His leg was worked on the entire match, kinda made sense that he would just collapse during a pedigree attempt.

Nice PPV, first one I've actually watched all since Night Of Champions. Good show though, all matches were pretty bitchin', even the Divas match was bearable. Bryan cashing in was great, however I would have rathered he went the match route instead of this. However I do hope we get heel Bryan now, I just think the whole tap or snap heel run of him making everyone tap out for months is too perfect not to be done.

Sucks for Mark Henry being Injured, but also for The Big Show to be a transitional title holder. I ing hate that. Oh well... good for Daniel Bryan. Although I think it coulda happened in a better way. No Kane either kinda surprised me, as well as no Cena. Otherwise it was a great show, Ryder US Champ and CM Punk retaining. I enjoyed the HHH/Nash match, much better than expected. Even the Divas match and the Tag match had me interested, was sure they were both gonna change hands.
