Undertaker climbs up... oh Lord who didn't see this, LAST RIDE ON EDGE THROUGH THE DOUBLE STACKED TABLES!

Now, be honest with yourself, if this happend back in ECW, this would have just elicited a "E-C-W! E-C-W! or a "HOLY SHIT!" chant. You know you marked out.

Undertaker climbs the ladder again, gets near the top... CHAVO GUERRERO AND BAM NEELY! They knock Undertaker off, grab a pair of chairs, try to go for a Two Man Conchairto, Undertaker ducks them both, they take each other out, Undertaker takes a chair and knocks them both out! Undertaker repositions the ladder (this time closer to the ring ropes, near the 4 stacked tables we've not even seen since the beginning of the match), and he climbs the ladder... and, as predicted, Edge comes over and shoves the ladder over, knocking Undertaker off the top, over the ropes, and into
four tables (two of which broke, two of which did not). Undertaker is dead on the outside. The fans are PISSED and booing Edge as he sets up the ladder again, and crawls up rung by rung. Camera shot to the outside over Undertaker's dead body.. will we see the dead man sit up one more time? NOO!!! EDGE REACHES THE TOP AND TAKES THE BELT!

WINNER: EDGE! WOW. You know I could see it coming, but I wasn't certain if WWE would pull the trigger on it. Edge is the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion, retains his undefeated strek in TLC matches, AND HE RETIRES THE UNDERTAKER. Edge falls off the ladder, crawls out of the ring, crawls across the floor and regroups with Ryder, Hawkins, Guerrero and Neely. They all pose together as we go through the highlights.

Vickie Guerrero walks out. Yes, WALKS OUT, no wheelchair. She has a big smile on her face, she comes up and hugs Edge. Camera pans back on La Famalia as the pyros go off behind them. I think Mick Foley just summarized it best, "There was nothing more extreme than the sense of loss that just happened with the end of the Undertaker's career." The cameras focus on Undertaker as Edge & Co. leave and the arena goes
silent. Undertaker rolls to one side, then the other, then attempts to sit up. He makes it... just barely... the sold out arena is silent as the Undertaker painfully makes his way to his knees, then his feet. The fans start to cheer as Undertaker takes his first steps towards the back.

The lights go dark and the spotlight falls on Mark Calaway, the fans politely cheer as he turns around one last time, looks around, and then walks to the back. Nothing more is said on the broadcast as the Undertaker leaves the WWE arena for the last time.
