TLC: TABLES, LADDERS and CHAIRS, Year 5

The last PPV of Year 5. I can't believe I made it this far.

Match 1. Ladder - Petey Williams vs. Jay Lethal   TNA X-Division Championship
Lethal brought in a ladder and hit Petey. Williams threw Lethal into the corner and began climbing, but Lethal knocked him down. Both men climbed up, but Lethal tossed Williams to the mat from the top of the ladder. They climbed again about 10 minutes later. Williams hit Lethal with a neck breaker from the top down to the mat.

Swagger threw Sheamus into the table that was set up in the corner and speared him through it to retain.

Match 3. Team Hell No vs. Big Show and Henry   WWE Tag Team Championship
This tag match was quicker than every tag match in the tournament. Very underwhelming. Show hit Kane with a suplex. There was a ladder, a replica title belt and a chair in the ring.

Chavo saw very limited action in the match.

Match 5. Scramble - Bully Ray vs. Aries vs. Hardy vs. Storm vs. Roode   TNA World Championship
This is a falls count anywhere 20-minute scramble match. The first two were Jeff and Storm. They attemped a couple of collar and elbow tie-ups, with Storm eventually getting the upper hand. Storm continued with his offense, but Jeff took control. Storm landed the Last Call and got the 3 count. The next man to join the ring was former champ Bully Ray.

No one scored another fall, letting Roode walk out as the new champion.
