WWE TLC 2017: Review

TLC 2017 Finn AJ

Bray's unfortunate illness meant an apparent dream match replaced the nightmare one we'd been fearing, and whilst that was theoretically good, it did promise to be a whole lot less fun. Bálor had taken great pains to daub what looked like a Bacardi logo on his back, though this was anything but a breeze. Almost immediately, the long-awaited clash eclipsed everything on the card, even providing TLC's first table spot thanks to a fleeing Carsten Schaefer. Styles hit an overhead kick described as being very similar to Finn's Pelé kick - because it was the same - but the Irishman marked his own rising with the rarely seen and perhaps indelicately named '1916'. Like all good matches, it ended with a double footstomp to the balls, before WWE got their digs in as the pair shared a too-snide 'Too Sweet' hand symbol. Hey, you can't trademark a gesture, right?

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
