So, Uh...Randy Orton Set The Fiend On Fire During WWE's "TLC," And People Lost Their Darn Minds

"The Fiend's on some hot girl sh*t."

Hello readers! I'm Allie, and I'm one of, like, two and a half people who work here at BuzzFeed dot com who unflinchingly, unabashedly, unironically just really freakin' love professional wrestling. I! Just! Do! It's! Who! I! Am!

WWE

Fight me! But also, don't! I'm soft!

Anyway — as fans will already know — last night was WWE's final pay-per-view of the year, TLC (standing for "Tables, Ladders, Chairs," of course). There were some absolutely incredible matches...but one match certainly LIT UP its competitors.

WWE

They really BURNED IT DOWN (all without having Seth Rollins involved)!

Basically, Randy Orton and The Fiend competed in the first ever "Firefly Inferno Match," which, yes, is a hilarious name and, yes, is going to sound made up when I try to explain to you what it entailed.*

WWE

*The rules of the match were as follows: The only way to win the match was to set part of your opponent on fire. Yes, you read that right. One human man had to set another human(?) man on fire in order to win a wrestling match. Also, this match wasn't for a belt or anything. It was just, like, for funsies. There was no reason for them to go this hard, and I loved it. The things we do for pride, revenge, and really cool finishing poses, am I right?!

The positively WILD match ended with Randy hitting the three most dangerous letters in sports entertainment (his finisher, the R.K.O. — keep up, will you?) while The Fiend was semi–on fire. It was awesome. But — because that wasn't enough for Randal Keith Orton — he then proceeded to set the WHOLE DAMN NIGHTMARE MAN* aflame in the middle of the ring, AND. THAT'S. HOW. THE. PAY-PER-VIEW. ENDED.

WWE

*Yes, it was obviously a dummy he lit on fire, and yes, you are also a dummy if you feel the need to ruin people's fun by pointing that out repeatedly. Let! People! Enjoy! Dumb! Things!

Naturally, fans had some HILARIOUS thoughts on the incredibly chaotic match, so we took to Twitter and Tumblr to collect some of the very best reactions and compiled them into this easy-to-enjoy list for you! Ready? Here we go:
