WWE Champion The Miz vs Jerry Lawler - RAW 11/29/2010 TLC Match

 

One week after Miz cashed in Money In The Bank on Randy Orton after a Nexus beatdown. MIZ GIRL~! I forgot about her. I wonder if she is in college now and uses the fact she is Miz Girl as an ice breaker.

 

Between Miz winning the title and Cena literally burying Barrett at TLC, Nexus was dead. Miz does insecure so well because he is very insecure about his wrestling ability. He has been ranting and raving for 10 years about he gets no respect and has no credibility. It is Jerry Lawler's birthday and he challenges Miz to a WWE Championship stating he has never had one. The Anonymous RAW GM, oh man I forgot about that too, and makes this a TLC match. Shit I totally forgot CM Punk was a commentator at this point. Surprisingly, he is a shitty commentator.

 

This is a fun match. We get some good Lawler punches. Miz beatdowns Lawler pretty good with the chair. He futzes around too much. Lawler hits him with the chair. Back drop onto the ladder. Lawler pulverizes Alex Riley through a table. He sends Miz through a table. Michael Cole completes his heel turn helping the Miz by stopping Lawler from ascending the ladder. Lawler punches Cole in classic Lawler fashion. They tussle on top of the ladder with Miz hitting him with the belt to win the match.

 

I really like Lawler, I do. I also know there are Lawler super fans out there that make it seem like he never lost a step. He could still have great matches in his sixties. I also know this is used to take a shot at Ric Flair. I think this whole thing is a bit overblown. Yes Lawler could still punch really well, but he was moving at half speed. This was just fun. He looked old and that's the point. It was good nostalgia and a good angle to set up Lawler vs Cole. Nothing more, nothing less.
