10 Last-Minute WWE TLC 2016 Rumors You Need To Know
2. The Chairs Match Is A Flop
This isn't a rumor as much as a fear, but it's a pretty popular one. Unfortunately, it's also well founded.
Baron Corbin and Kalisto first started feuding prior to SummerSlam, but an injury to Kalisto forced him out of action for two months. When he returned, "The Lone Wolf" singled him out once again, costing him a shot at the Cruiserweight Championship at the Survivor Series. The two men brought their issues back to Smackdown, and when Kalisto attacked Corbin with a chair, fans knew where things were going from there.
Just about every year at TLC, there's a TLC match, a ladder match, a tables match, and a chairs match. Unfortunately, the chairs match is the odd one out. Athletic workers can do amazing things in TLC or ladder matches, and a tables match with the right psychology can be very exciting. A chairs match is just a regular match with chairs allowed, and they're almost always lousy. It doesn't hurt that mediocre workers are usually involved, and with Corbin in the bout, don't expect anything else.
