WWE TLC 2012
Read Transcript
Is a sooner or later production
It is Sunday evening, it is 726 on the east coast that is 426 on the west coast, it is the 16th
of December in the year of our lower 2012. If it is Sunday evening, it could only mean it is time for the clubhouse
being on the air special edition, live from Fox & Outed Richardson Texas, just west of Central
Expressway on Campbell Road or right behind the McDonald's, 5 bucks is going to get you in the door
because it is time to get you ready for W-W-E-T-L-C I'm Rob. To my right has he tends to be when we do these things
to get his chat. I don't care who you are that never gets old. Of course it doesn't get old to you.
We're playing the ECW theme tonight because there is no theme song for this paper view.
Let's see what are we hearing here.
We ran a little bit late tonight, cowboy game running a little bit late, but it's all right we're here for you.
We're going to give you some headlines. We're going to run the car, we're going to grade the car,
and it'll be time to go live to our affiliates in Brooklyn, New York to our affiliates.
At the Barclay Center, we're looking for the Brooklyn Queens. We are connected now.
I know people, okay? Well I know people just none of them want to work at the Barclay Center.
Our normal show is Saturday night at 7 o'clock. We're going to have a brand new poll on our
Facebook page. Probably the next couple of days that you can participate in.
Indeed. So things we got coming down the pipe. Good stuff. Good time being that loud.
Let us start with some headlines. We tease this last night.
Creative is toying with turning somebody face and I don't know how I feel about it.
I'm just going to go ahead and cue up these.
There are discussions right now that creative wants to take Alberto Del Rio and turn him face.
With what could be the inevitability of Randy Orton going heel?
The thought process is, if you're going to take one of your biggest face,
but to me he's a queen or anyway, but that's just me or Orton. Yes. Yeah.
But if you're going to turn him full blown heel, you have to take a full blown heel and turn him
full blown face and they're talking about doing that with Del Rio.
I don't see that working.
But you know the rule of thumb though. It's always easier to run face than it is to run heel.
Yeah. Yeah. I thought like flair is like one thing flair says.
If you want to be a true homophamer, you have to be able to make a page you. It's real easy to
make a love you. It's real tough to make a page. This is true.
And it's even like most people once they go once they go heel, they have more fun doing
doing heel work and face work. I just can't see him as a face though.
That's no matter how hard he has to. He'd have to dump Rodriguez. Yeah. I mean,
they'd have to, he'd have to revamp his entire time. But you could use Rosa to make that happen though.
You think so? You think that's what they've been going with this whole thing. Rosa starts to make
Ricardo jealous and in Ricardo starts costing Alberto Del Rio matches and
yeah, why not? That's one way of doing it, I guess. Stranger things have happened.
Do not forget that today starts. Well, actually technically tomorrow,
but we have officially begun WWE week on USA.
Tomorrow night, of course, Raw. There we go. Tuesday night,
Smackdown is going to air on USA and it's going to be commercial free.
So basically he's going to be as long as wrong. So an hour and 14 minutes of mediocrity will
now be two hours of mediocrity. Like I just say.
Wednesday, they will be airing tribute to the troops on USA. It was anniversary.
Yeah, 10 years. Yeah, wrap your heads around that. I'm not getting any younger.
A Thursday, a friend she is going to be on burn notice. What is burn notice?
That's. And then Friday, they'll be airing the game plan hosted by CM Punk.
See now who's in the game plan again? That would be one doing Johnson and Dwayne and CM
punk are such good friend and they're going to face each other at the rumble next month. So
expect plenty of cheap shots. I'm sure.
Now, if you miss Smackdown on Tuesday, we'll air in his normal time slot on side by on Friday.
So they're still doing that bit. Oh, and don't forget Wednesday, you have main events.
Which is anything but right now. So I read this next story and I was a little intrigued because
I did not realize that this was a thing. It's paying delirium in the room right now.
December 28th, three days after Christmas.
WWE House show Super Show at Madison Square Garden.
Someone will be stepping in the ring as a competitor for the first time in his over 20 year
story career. And his name is Paul Hayden. As he will face Ryback.
Slow or match this one or Goldberg Lesner. I don't know if he's going to be so much
competing. It's just being victimized. But you know, there will be shenanigans involved here.
As long as there's a pair of scissors for that three centimeter ponytail for his
retail. Poodle tail looking thing. He's got going on the back of his hand.
That's not even good enough to be a hair cape. Like Michael Bolden used to have hair cape. Just say it.
You're listening to Club House pre show for TLC. We are live at Boxing Hound in Richardson, Texas. Come join us.
Last paper view of the year. Which means we've now completed our very first full calendar year.
Doing paper views. So I'm in after the next one. We'll have gone around the circle around the
sun twice. Oh, Lesho. We need to get a historian in this show. So I can stop keeping these stats.
I thought we, well, we know we have a fact checker. Should we just make him defectal his story
in as well. He is here. He's a little distracted right now. He is the other strike.
Well, his beloved sailors are playing the cowboys right now. So.
So the Eric Cartman of music Billy Corgan.
Listen to your average smashing pumpkins out.
He actually says he has pitched. Apparently because you know, if you don't know, he has his own wrestling
production. It is called resistance pro wrestling. And he actually pitched it to Stephanie McMahon
as a WWE developmental territory. Uh-oh. 49 seconds to go. Cowboys are in steel or territory
tieball game. We believe that that was the next one. Play. Did you like that one and play?
We hope you, Dave. We hope you did very much. Oh. Almost a horse collar on that too.
But why, why would, I mean, as well as NXT is doing, yeah, I should have been fighting.
As well as NXT is doing, why would you need another developmental territory? I don't know.
I don't, that's probably why she didn't give him an answer. I mean, did she give him an answer?
There was no answer said in the story that I read that he just pitched it to her.
I don't know if you want to talk to her husband about it first. Just see. Yeah.
Uh, congratulations to AJ Lee. She has been named Deba of the year in WWE magazine. No kidding. Who else
were you going to name? Sonny. For what? Most of the rest in a year. I'm sorry. I'm about
thought we were talking about Skeleton magazine, but still. Police Gazette weekly greatest greatest
deal ever because that's who I voted for. Yeah, she's kind of the, I got one of those surveys
from the WWE fan council about the divas. I was one of those that took it and it actually
the greatest divas all the time was sunny. Hands down, can you have a big body? Yeah, she's kind of
tarnished that image. Many people have asked with CM Punk, rehabbing the knee will he appear tonight.
The rumors right now is that he will be at the announced table for the six man TLC match.
So there will be any shenanigans. Yeah, yeah, we'll see just how hurt he is. I love it.
Look at up. He's not scheduled to compete until the January 7th raw.
The January 7th raw? That is correct. When, of course, Dwayne makes his return. Yeah,
just because he's not scheduled to do anything doesn't mean he won't. At Triple H gaining a
little bit more power backstage. He now almost has the entire control of talent relations.
Good. As Gerald Briscoe is now mainly doing talent scouting. And a lot of people backstage are
saying that things have gotten exponentially better since he took the job from Larry Nittis.
Well, there's a show. There's a show. There's a show. You should don't see right now.
A look of shock on my face.
Couldn't do anything correctly. By the scenes or in front of the camera. And Triple H still trying to
get Bruno Sam Martino for the Hall of Fame this year. And he's just fighting the tooth
now. Yes. Bruno's fighting the tooth and now. Yes. No winters. No.
I don't get that. I'm just saying that she's just so sourd on the product. Now that he just
doesn't want to be associated with it. We'll take some time. A few minutes to talk about the
other side of the coin. Well, actually, the between side of the coin. This is about flair.
As I heard the woo bird's outside of this room earlier tonight. Rick Flair says
that any thought of him returning to the ring has gone away since Lawler's heart attack.
Really? Yes. How's that what he says or is that? That was what he said in an interview.
He said, I will not get ever sent the Jerry Lawler thing kind of shook my cage pretty hard. I will not get back
in the ring. But love too. But I just I after seeing what happened to Jerry. I can't do it. I just
I couldn't imagine watching another match with flair wrestling in it again. I don't think for a
better. I'd be terrified anyway. I'm just saying. For those of you that are fans of the
Jeff Hardy, and must have everything, Jeff Hardy, you can go to tnamusic.com right now or knock
out some music or whatever they're calling it from or shop tna.com and order his very first album.
It's an EP. It's called shameful creatures. A similar. Yodeling now? It's a shameful or similar. Similar. I'm
sorry. Maybe that was just a Freudian slip on my part. But iTunes, of course anywhere you get
download digital music will have it as well. Allegedly. It's going to have his current theme song
on it and I believe for other songs that usually is what constitutes an EP and it's going to do a
full length album next year. Can't wait no further than there's that. For those of you that have been
waiting for King mode's wrestling debut that has been postponed. His OVW time has been cut short
as he is preparing for his first Bellator appearance. That's going to be next month.
So the both of you that were concerned about King mode's wrestling debut. You you're going to have
to wait a while. You may be being a little generous there. It kind of gloves her a little bit off
tonight. You feeling strong to six a.m. You feeling sorely? And then there's a headline that came
across last night that from the why in the heck would you even do that department? There is a guy
who was claiming that he isn't talks with TNA and TNA is vehemently denying this rumor
because why would you want to do business with Buff Bagwell? I'm just saying
but the guy from a business standpoint is terrible to do business with. His WWE career lasted
one night on SmackDown and it was in Dallas and you started running his mouth and Vince went,
you can go home and you could stay there. Yeah. Bishop is vehemently denied. He's like I haven't
talked to that dude in 15 years. That's funny. But if you do the math, probably about right.
Yeah, that sounds about right. You are listening to the clubhouse live. We are doing your
pre-show for WWWTLC. This paper view is underway in one-t minutes. If you can't get here and hang out
with us live, the room is filling up. Contact your local cable provider or a paper view company
whoever that might be. Live from the Barclay Center in Brooklyn tonight. We're going to run the
card for you right now unless it's over. The YouTube pre-show is a win under way about 10 minutes ago.
The Diva's Santa's Helper's Battle Royal. The winner of that is the number one contender for
the Diva's title. Let's somebody's got an update for me on that. I don't know if that's actually
finished itself yet. The Santa's Helper. Which means they're all going to be a Santa outfit.
I'm on board with this, sir. Now, are any of them going to look as good as Britney Palmer did in
her list? No, that's not going to happen. You have an unhealthy obsession with that one. That is not
an unhealthy obsession, sir. It's an unhealthy crush. That's two different things. I don't know.
I think you've crossed a question. In my world, it's two different things. In your world,
obviously, the waters apply as the river of denial. Not just a river in Egypt. Just say it.
I'm going to go ahead and say if it hasn't finished it, the Caitlyn wins it.
We seem to be pushing her because Lord knows we're not doing anything with Naddy.
Which makes no sense to me. Let's hook her up with a great collie and horn swaggle. That's a good idea.
Probably the best technical female wrestler you've got in the company. You've got to trap
with oddities, the new generation. Number one, contenders match for the tag team championship. By the way,
you've got ladder match tonight. You've got a chair's match tonight. You've got a TLC match tonight.
Which don't have the tables match tonight.
It's a bit of an awkward turtle moment for me. I've been mumbling over this all day.
But I think that if you're going to announce a table's match, it's going to be the one we're going
to talk about right now. Number one, contenders match Rey Mysterio and Sincara versus Team Rose
Scholars, managed by Cody's mustache. That's right. This section of the Empire is now referring
themselves as a scholar's students. They're going to as a group become his apprentice. I believe
his is the goal here. The best chant in months was the Cody's mustache chant on Raw and
SmackDown this week. We're going to have to get the evil empire like a support from my
doctor's shows or something because all they do is support heels. Hey, you know what? Everybody's
going to have their own thing. So we are going to overtime a cowboy stadium. Officially now.
You got to get a winner in this number one contenders match as as Don's blood pressure rises
another couple of notches. Builds character and the no one contenders match or I think you're
pushing Team Rose Scholars awful hard right now. I think they get the shot. Yeah, especially given
the fact that Team Heldo is technically a face tag team. Face tag team versus face tag team does
nothing for you and Ray Mysterio and Sincar are always so reliable injury-wise.
Now have you seen the video yet? The season's greetings video on www.com. No. You actually hear Sincar
a talk. You told me about that. He sings but he talks. Same to him. Did that expect that?
Now could this be the beginning of the split that leads to Sincar versus Ray Mysterio at
WrestleMania? Possibly. Maybe. That was supposed to happen this year. And then, you know, the split
was supposed to happen. They were supposed to team up earlier this year split and have the
match of WrestleMania. But Ray got suspended and Sincar got injured and now that. You've got
time to build that heat if it happens. If it happens tonight. You're not in state championship on the line
and Antonio Cesaro versus our truth. I couldn't. I couldn't be more disinterested in this
match if you paid me to. I'm not paying. That's my point. I think you also mean you might have
to gimmick this one up too. Because we've seen this. Flag on a pole match maybe? Flag on a pole
match. Why not? Switzerland versus America. I don't know. They're probably going to put
Santa's bag of gifts on a pole and make that be what they go after. No, they're going to
wait to do that. They'll trip you to the troops. This isn't always the same thing. Yeah, that's true.
Intercontinental championship on the line. Kofi Kingston versus Wade Barrett.
Move this belt tonight. Come on, Chatti, Kathy. Wait on you. I'm just, there you go.
The Kofi's boring chair fires up. But you know what? Waiting. But you know what? He's the wildcat
dog on it. Oh yeah. When did he start playing for the dolphin? That's all I want to know.
Or was it Goldie Han? When did, when did that happen? When did, when did, when did, when did,
when did Cole drop that? Like two weeks ago. And then that week on SmackDown. All of a sudden,
Kofi's talking about him. Nobody's ever called you that. Except for Cole. He must have been
killed by somebody in his headset. Move this belt. If you're going to get Wade Barrett back
on the track that he's supposed to be on, you move this belt tonight. Yeah. Still not all that
stood in this match, but you probably need to move the belt. For the first time in WWE history,
a TLC match where there's nothing hanging above the ring. A TLC match where you have to win by
pinballer submission. That's weird. You talk about awkward turtle. This whole card is awkward turtle.
Every time I look at it, team hell know and ride back versus the shield. Now last night at a
house show, the shield had their first in-ring match. So they had a little bit of a primer last
night at the house show. That might be it. That might be the ball game. Touchdown. No, no,
knees down. Knee was down. Knee was down. It'll be first and go on the one for the Cowboys.
Knee was down. Anyway, TLC match. What you got? The shield wins this. You're not going to have
them job in their first match ever on television. It doesn't make any sense. Yeah, but how many times
are they beaten or ride back down at the end of a freaking event? But it wasn't a match. But how many times
you're going to have a ride back job to the shield? You only have to do it once because that
just that's the precedent. I'm on board with the shield. Now if they hire Michael Chickler,
I mean, I'm even more in. But I think it's a bad bit. It's a bad bit of a world heavyweight
championship on the line in a chair's match, which is one of the dumbest matches ever.
Hey, you can hit somebody with a chair in your match. Frenchy versus Shamus. Just waiting for
Shamus to unload. This man's been pinned up ever since that contract got signed. He's going to
wrap about 15 cars far in this match. Go. That's my thing. Well, as far as brutality.
Yeah, some artists made a line. Person go on the one. That makes you the smartest man alive for
your eyes work. Again, but this is two paper. Two paperbies on the last three that I called that.
I just don't know how, how, like, from a story standpoint, how far you can go with a chair's match.
It's like a water gun fight. It works for about five minutes and then it's old.
I don't know. You've got to put this, you've got to put this bit to rest.
I think it goes to the rumble. You think I think Frenchy retains in this goes to the rumble.
It goes to the major. I hope not. Because I'm so tired of this. I'm so tired of over the top
chicken heel big show. It just makes me sick. And your main event because we all know this will be
the main events. Latter match on the line is the SmackDown money in the bank briefcase.
Currently held by Dolph Ziegler and Capo's win. And he will be taking on John Cena.
Did they, did he lay ice to get ice to kick her? The most gutless move in sport. I agree.
And my teams are just as guilty of it. I don't care who does it. It's the most gutless move in sports.
Money in the bank briefcase match. You think AJ heel turn?
That's not really the, but that's not his girlfriend. It's just a chick that's hanging out with them.
No, here's how this works. I'm going to tell you exactly how this is going to work. Okay.
Okay. So take notes. Ziegler will retain the briefcase. Yes. Because from what I've read,
the plan is Ziegler will cash in right before Randy Orton comes back. And that's, and that's, that's the
few. Because you are, you've been teasing a Ziegler face turn on Raw pretty bad because he was
great as a commentator on Raw and he was not being a heel. So I think they're going to turn him face too.
Man, that's, do you need both him and Alberto Delrio to go face? You might as well.
Just because you've got Randy turning heel hot, uh, I don't think you need them both as faces.
As long as, as long as this gives Dolphin an excuse to drop vaccine tables match,
smartest man alive.
Boy, that never gets old. It does it because I am. Don is hanging his head and shame right now.
No. I don't remember now. No, it was his story and thing. I wasn't a fact checking thing.
Okay. So we've run the card for you. I think I know what you're going to say because you said it in the
car on the way here. Great to card. Rock solid D. I'm going to go see minus just because I think
the tape, the tag team tables match might be entertaining. There's just not a lot here. Although it's
begging for a sincara injury. It's not a lot of matchups here that are all that interesting. The
storylines themselves that are wrapped around it aren't that interesting either.
See, I'm bunk not being involved. Really hard this card. I think he's being a vianous hit but will
help. You have eight minutes remaining. We are at Fox and Hound live in Richardson, Texas.
Just west of Central Expressway on Campbell Road north side of the road. Come join us, please.
We look forward room is filling up. This is the last paper view of 2012. The next one will be the
royal rumble. My favorite paper view of the year. If my math serves me correct, it should be done.
Done. Done. Rumble. Is that January the 27th? The Phoenix if I'm not mistaken.
