WWE DVD Review: TLC –
Tables, Ladders, Chairs 2012
To round off 2012 the
WWE offered up its TLC pay-per-view.
TLC is an interesting
event to witness. It is also one that does exactly what it says on
the tin, as in it offers us a tables match, a ladders match and a
chairs match, plus we also get them all combined in one TLC
encounter.
This time around we got
to see Irishman Sheamus and Big Show battle it out in a hard-hitting
chairs match. John Cena and Dolph Ziggler had a belter of a ladder
match for Ziggler's Money In The Bank briefcase.The Shield were also
on hand to challenge the mighty trio of Team Hell No and Ryback in a
match that really put the faction on the map.
The TLC concept has
been watered down slightly in the more PG version of the WWE, but
that is not to say that the concept is lost on its new audience. In
fact it is quite the opposite, the action is now a lot more intense
and the lack of blood, headshots or other career shortening moves
make things all the more enjoyable.
The elevation of The
Shield as a worthy addition to the WWE roster started here and it is
very good to see the company do such a thing at long last.
There are many
surprises during TLC 2012 and the match quality is certainly above
par throughout.
On the extras front the
DVD has an interview with Dolph Ziggler (by Matt Striker). The
Blu-ray however has a wealth of additional features. These includes
matches and excerpts from the December 16th Monday Night
Raw event and the December 18th Smackdown shows.
Highlights here are Ric Flair presenting the Slammy to the Superstar
of the Year, The Miz, Alberto Del Rio and Tommy Dreamer facing 3BM,
Ryback versus Antonio Cesaro and a Miz TV segment with AJ Lee, Dolph
Ziggler and Big E Langston.
TLC (Tables, Ladders,
Chairs) 2012 is available now from all good retailers.
RRP £17.99 (DVD),
£19.99 (Blu-ray)
