The show was awesome. The crowd popped huge for DX, Undertaker, and Kofi Kingston. Randy Orton got the most heat by far. You were right about the crowd after the Sheamus win. I think I was the only one cheering. I hate me some John Cena. The Cena fans looked like they wanted to cry. Ha.

The best match of the night was the TLC match. The crowd chanted HBK through a lot of the match and Chris Jericho on Big Show's shoulders was a nice touch. The crowd was totally into the whole night.

Christian vs. Shelton Benjamin was easily match of the night, as expected. They call HBK the master of the ladder match, but after seeing what Shelton and Xian did, I tend to disagree. Not a fan of the way the fans reacted to the medics, though. I thought it was highly rude of them to chant "We want blood!" I personally think that reflects badly on the fans... Regardless, the only truly disappointing thing about that match was that it had to end.

Sheamus going over was a total shock. Not to say it's entirely bad, though. I love seeing a new face at the top. Not sure I would've picked Sheamus (my pick would've been The Miz, but I'm biased...), but still cool to see. Also, Jerry Lawler should be fired or at least suspended for that "corpse" remark he made ("Sheamus is so pale he looks like a corpse! In fact, I might like him better if he were one!") With all the deaths in the business, especially with one just a week or so ago (That WWE heartlessly made no mention of on TV), I felt it was a terribly classless and offensive thing to say.

Finally, I just have to mention the nasty bump that Chris Jericho took at the end of the TLC match. I'm not so sure it was supposed to go down like it did, and I hope he's okay. Aside from that, though, it was a very innovative finish, and while I didn't like the outcome, I did like the match itself.

The TLC pay-per-view was pretty good. The matches were good and the commentary was great. I love having Matt Striker on as the third man on commentary. He keeps the fans interested during the slow points in the match, and does very well covering things on the move. You could definitely see this when Christian got a cut in the first match, it seemed like WWE was going to keep the camera off him until Striker brought up the Texas gaming commision rule. Very well done.

Something that definitely needed to change was the way these matches were organized. I know ECW is the lowest on the totem pole, but to open with that great ladder match was crazy. I know WWE wanted a bang to start the show, but start with the Intercontinental match first, then the Divas match, then the ECW match, Randy Orton vs. Kofi Kingston, DX vs. JeriShow, Undertaker vs. Batista, and then John Cena. vs. Sheamus.

It seemed like the crowd (and I'm sure a lot of other people at home) thought that Cena was going to use his rematch clause before the end of the show, so why not have that match last and send the people home so they want to tune in to tomorrow's three-hour Raw? I'm never a big fan of not having a heavyweight championship as the last match of the night.

Overall, great show. WWE just needs to find that right card arrangement to keep the show, the crowd, and the viewers at home interested for the whole three hours.
