1) An Old Stipulation Match Was Pitched For TLC
Roman Reigns has been feuding with King Corbin for several weeks now. It has been officially confirmed that they will be facing off at TLC in a TLC match.
According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE was originally considering giving this match an old stipulation. That stipulation would be a dog collar match. Here is what Meltzer wrote:
It will be a gimmick match but the gimmick has not been decided upon. It could be tables ladders or chairs, but dog collar match has also been up for consideration.
For anybody confused, the stipulation would have seen Corbin and Reigns chained together while wearing dog collars. The last one that I can remember was Perry Saturn vs Chris Jericho at WCW’s Uncensored PPV in 1999.
My Take: I don’t think a dog collar match would have gone over well in 2019. I am glad that they didn’t go this route.
