Ranking The 16 Greatest WWE TLC Matches Ever

10. Kane vs. The Dudley Boyz vs. Jeff Hardy & Rob Van Dam vs. Christian & Chris Jericho (Monday Night Raw October 7, 2002)

"Greatest match in Raw history," as it had been hilariously named just a month after it happened on a hokey Raw 10th Anniversary TV special, TLC IV was not. However, TLC IV was a very entertaining spectacle that gave its predecessors a quiet run for their money despite carrying very little of the historical significance or relevance. It depends on what you like, comparing this match to the previously mentioned bouts. It, too, is a TLC match that falls outside the category of the truly greatest ones, but it is great in its own right. Once upon a time, TLC was used to pop a TV rating. That was long before it had a PPV registering its namesake far more important than the product of a "Raw Roulette," spin of the wheel type deal, as had been the case when TLC was featured on Raw in 2002. Credit goes to all of the participants for just how well they pulled off something so seemingly random. It was a nice mixture of smart workers and glorified stuntmen. Subsequently, it is hard to argue the quality of the match.
