O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree

I've seen wrestlers use steel chairs, baseball bats, four-by-fours, kendo sticks, and brass knuckles, but this is the first time I've seen them use a Christmas tree as a weapon in the ring. This Yuletide kerfuffle is from a so-called New York Street Fight match between the tag teams of Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin vs. Rhett Titus and BJ Whitmer for Ring of Honor's Final Battle - Doomsday show held in  New York on December 16.

    Looks good, until the chairs, tables and trees ruin the effect?

    Would normally agree but I think he and Haas both look hot here in street clothes. Rhett Titus however, is wearing way too much clothing.

    Would love to see Haas and Benjamin in trunks again, but the jeans are better options than those singlets they used to wear. The only singlets I've ever enjoyed were on Rob Van Dam!

    Never been a big fan of Tables, Chairs, Chains... but now Christmas Trees? You Gotta be kidding me! Give me a Match where one guy uses every part of his body...FISTS, FINGERS, ELBOWS, KNEES, LEGS, FEET..whatever, to Punish and Dominate his opponent into submission or pin. Clamp a hold on him and work it so one can enjoy the suffering of one man , and see how it makes the Punisher enjoy his handywork by the looks on his face.
