The Hardys vs The World's Greatest Tag Team in a Ladder Match. It's a wet dream for some IWC smarks. But, yet, it could have been better. Let me explain.
Some of the best matches in WWE history were contested in the Tables, Ladders and Chairs variant, between the Hardys, Edge and Christian, and the Dudley Boys. Why not try and recreate this with the teams we've got now? Think about it:
The Hardys = The Hardys
Duh.
Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas = Edge and Christian
Two very talented wrestlers combined to make a tag team. Although they obviously don't have the charisma of E&C, Shelton could be (if used correctly) a future WWE champ due to his incredible natural abilities, while Haas is pretty good, as far as jobbers go.
Cade and Murdoch = The Dudley Boys
Two not particularly talented wrestlers. Brawlers. Big guys. But still, entertaining. Cade and Murdoch obviously don't have the experience or the hardcoreness of the Dudleys, but they're still pretty close.
Obviously, they're not going to get a match like the original TLC matches. They were fresh, new, inventive, insert other superlatives here. WGTT and Cade and Murdoch probably aren't as good as E&C and the Dudleys, either, although that's certainly arguable. And the Hardys aren't as OMG XTREME as they used to be. But, still. We could have had some great nostalgia value with a three-way TLC match including the Hardys, two big guys and some talented wrestlers.
It'd be like the old days... except not as good.
Hmm. That sounds like a general thing you could say about wrestling today.
