Dean Ambrose’s TLC Matches: Ranked From Worst To Best
6. 2014 – Bray Wyatt Vs. Dean Ambrose
Even though this feud lacked any logical sense (Wyatt’s rocking chair, and Ambrose destroying it wasn’t exactly the crème de la crème of professional wrestling storytelling) there was still an immense feeling of excitement at the fact that these two were headlining a PPV over the likes of John Cena.
As the match lacked stakes, with no title on the line, and people not really understanding why they were fighting (oh yeah, the rocking chair) it meant the crowd never fully engaged with the action. However, that's a shame, as there was something quite attitude-era-esque about a fight that saw two eclectic characters brawl throughout the crowd and pummel each other with weapons in the most reckless of ways, with barely a wrestling move in sight; in a good sort of nostalgic way.
More than anything, the match will be remembered for the hokey ending involving an exploding TV monitor, which given the attitude-era feel and the ridiculous story heading into the bout, was actually quite apt.
