TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs (2009) was the first annual TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). It took place on December 13, 2009, at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs )〕 It featured talent from the ''Raw,'' ''SmackDown'' and ''ECW'' brands.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WWE Pay-Per-Views To Follow WrestleMania Formula )〕 Seven matches were scheduled for the event. The concept of the show is based around the primary matches of the card each containing a stipulation utilizing tables, ladders and chairs as legal weapons.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Preview:Unified Tag Team Champions Chris Jericho & Big Show vs. D-Generation X (Tables, Ladders & Chairs Match) )〕 The primary matches included Christian defeating Shelton Benjamin in a Ladder match for the ECW Championship, Sheamus defeating John Cena in a Tables match to become the new WWE Champion, the reigning World Heavyweight Champion, The Undertaker, defeating Batista in a Chairs match to retain his title and the main event, where D-Generation X (Triple H and Shawn Michaels) defeated Chris Jericho and The Big Show in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match for the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship. Other matches in the card included John Morrison versus Drew McIntyre for the WWE Intercontinental Championship, Michelle McCool versus Mickie James for the WWE Women's Championship and Randy Orton versus Kofi Kingston. Presented by THQ's ''WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2010'', the pay-per-view drew 228,000 buys. ==Background== TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs featured professional wrestling matches involving different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds, plots, and storylines that played out on ''Raw'', ''SmackDown'', ''ECW'' and ''WWE Superstars''—World Wrestling Entertainment's (WWE) television programs. Wrestlers portrayed a villain or a hero as they followed a series of events that build tension, and culminated into a wrestling match or series of matches.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Live & Televised Entertainment of World Wrestling Entertainment )〕 All wrestlers were from WWE's Raw, SmackDown and ECW brands—a storyline division in which WWE employees were assigned to a television program of the same name.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WWE Launches ECW As Third Brand )〕 On the November 23, 2009 edition of ''Raw,'' guest host and storyline matchmaker Jesse Ventura arranged an interpromotional "Breakthrough Battle Royal," in which the winner gained shot at their brand's world championship at the TLC event. Qualifying matches were also held that night with each wrestler having the distinction of having held neither the WWE Championship nor the World Heavyweight Championship. In qualifiers, Kofi Kingston defeated Dolph Ziggler, Sheamus defeated Finlay, the team of Mark Henry, Montel Vontavious Porter and R-Truth defeated the team of Jack Swagger, Chris Masters and Chavo Guerrero in a six-man tag team match. Disagreeing with the battle royal concept, former world champion Randy Orton attacked Primo and defeated Primo's intended opponent, Evan Bourne, to qualify. In the final qualifying match, the team of The Legacy (Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase) defeated the team of Cryme Tyme (Shad Gaspard and JTG) to qualify. In the main event, Sheamus won the battle royal, last eliminating Kofi Kingston and earning him the chance to face WWE Champion John Cena at the TLC event. A contract signing was immediately held in which Sheamus attacked Cena and slammed him through a table. Declaring his preference of Sheamus over Cena, Ventura made the prospective match a Tables match. During his night as guest host, Ventura also booked a tag team match for the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship at the TLC event, where the champions Chris Jericho and The Big Show will defend their titles against the team of Triple H and Shawn Michaels (collectively known as D-Generation X) in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match.〔 On the November 24, 2009 edition of ''ECW,'' Shelton Benjamin defeated Zack Ryder to become the number one contender to the ECW Championship. ECW Champion Christian stated that the ECW Championship has been overlooked on recent pay-per-views and challenged Benjamin to a Ladder match. After defeating Rey Mysterio at the Survivor Series, Batista expressed on the following night his intent to challenge the World Heavyweight Champion, The Undertaker. Batista was interrupted by Kane who challenged him to a physical confrontation, which Batista refused.〔 A match was booked between the two on the November 28, 2009 edition of ''SmackDown'' where the winner would face The Undertaker at the TLC event. Batista won by countout, when outside of the referee's sight, he attacked Kane's knee with a steel chair behind the barricade. A few days later on WWE's website, it was announced that the match will be a Chair match.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Preview:Batista vs. World Heavyweight Champion Undertaker (Chair Match) )〕 On the December 4, 2009 edition of ''SmackDown,'' WWE Intercontinental Champion John Morrison faced Drew McIntyre in an exhibition contest, which saw the latter win. Later in the evening, on the company's website, it was announced McIntyre would then receive another match against Morrison for his title. Since Bragging Rights, Randy Orton and Kofi Kingston have been in constant conflict ever since Kingston prevented further interference with Orton's teammates Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase during Orton's unsuccessful Iron Man match against John Cena for the WWE Championship. The rivalry led to the two each captaining teams for a five-on-five Survivor Series elimination match at Survivor Series, in which Kingston's team won. On the November 30 episode of ''Raw'', Kingston was scheduled to wrestle Orton in a singles match but was ambushed by Rhodes and DiBiase before the match began and hence was too weak to offer a fair match with Orton. The following week, ''Raw'' guest host Mark Cuban booked Kingston into another match with Orton, with Cuban serving as guest referee. Still bitter from the events at the 2003 Survivor Series, where Orton performed an RKO on him, Cuban gave a fast count for Kingston's pin and gave him the win. Cuban then proceeded to announce that the two were now tied with one victory apiece and the match that would settle the score would take place at the TLC event. On the December 11, 2009 edition of ''SmackDown,'' it was announced that the WWE Women's Champion Michelle McCool will defend her title against Mickie James at the TLC event. The two became close rivals when in November the two were made respective captains for opposing teams in a five-on-five Survivor Series elimination match at Survivor Series. Three days before Survivor Series, James was shown a video package featuring McCool performing a parody of "Old McDonald Had a Farm", calling her rival "Piggy James" and sending James into tears. At Survivor Series, James and Melina won the elimination match for their team, last eliminating McCool. On the December 4, 2009 edition of ''SmackDown,'' James defeated Beth Phoenix and Natalya in a Triple Threat match to become the number one contender for the WWE Women's Championship. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs (2009)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
