Top 5 TLC matches of all time
A Tables, Ladders and Chairs match is one of the most innovative ideas in WWE. The concept of TLC was so revolutionary that in 2009, WWE decided to dedicate a gimmicky PPV for this beautiful stipulation. Hence, Tables, Ladders and Chairs was born.
The first such PPV was headlined by DX and the team of Chris Jericho and Big Show for the Unified WWE Tag Team Championships. Now we are just a few days away from the tenth iteration of the event.
Even though it a variation of a standard ladders match, other weapons like stairs, tables, kendo sticks and chairs are extensively used in a TLC match. Edge is considered to be the master of these matches, with seven total appearances. Jeff Hardy is closely trailing the Rated R Superstar with five TLC appearances. Edge also boasts the record for most victories at the event, with five.
So far, there have been 21 TLC matches in WWE. While most of them were for a title that was hanging from the top, some of them ended in pinfalls. In this list, we are taking a look at the top five TLC matches of all time.
5) John Cena vs Edge - Unforgiven 2006
Edge was on the top of his heelish run in mid-2006. After winning his first WWE Championship, he lost it to John Cena in a matter of days. However, the Ultimate Opportunist soon got his second reign with the title after defeating the champion Rob Van Dam and John Cena in a triple threat. This match was followed up by a great feud between Edge and Cena, which ended in a fitting TLC match.
The ending of the match was outstanding. Cena dropped Edge through a pile of stacked tables from on top of the ladder and then unhooked the title to claim his third WWE title.
