10 WWE TLC 2017 Impulse Reactions
6. Rotten
It's a crying shame all the aggro between these just had to lead to a match right there that instant, but it's WWE and more is always more and we know this by now and BY GOD if we're not given loads and loads and bloody loads of wrestling we'll be left with no choice but to all cancel our Network subscriptions, right?
Well of course not, but that must be the rationale of those that insisted Tables, Ladders and Chairs gained a visitor as unwelcome as 2014's dreaded Steel Stairs in the form of another heatless battle between the improving former Drifter and the stubbed out flame that is Jason Jordan.
Thanks to various tag team and singles combinations on Monday Night Raw, this rivalry feels more played out that Elias' badly tuned guitar, and the company will almost certainly rerun the fun on tonight's flagship show after a crap referee call in favour of the former American Alpha man was replayed ad nauseum.
Why WWE persist with this finish is a mystery in itself. Jordan looks p*ss-weak by virtue not only of scoring the win but also of accepting it. Elias looks hard done-by but weak for offering little challenge. Meanwhile, the referee seemingly can't find his a*se with both hands nor see a lifted shoulder as he's using one of them to count to three.
If the objective was to let audiences know 'this company employs idiots', then mission accomplished. But for heaven's sake do not cancel the Network.
