Not a fan of the poster.

Did not see last years TLC PPV I dont think.

Miz vs Orton vs Barrett.  Triple Threat TLC?

Or Miz vs Orton and Triple H returns to face Barrett and rid the "WWE Universe" of Nexus.

Think this could actually be an alright show. I'm not sure of why they decided to merge the Kane/Edge and Mysterio/ADR matches, but it should have some nice bumps and high spots. Would love it if Del Rio won, but for the WWE Game, I want Kane to win. The atmosphere for Cena/Barrett should be good, think the match will depend on the crowd though. Silent crowds are ****.

Think all the matche have the potential to be decent, even the Divas one. Yeah, I said it.

Overall, I thought it was one of the better PPVs of the year. Morrison/Sheamus was great, and the TLC Match was very good also I thought. I probably should have predicted Edge winning, and I would've preferred Kane or Alberto but other than that, good match. Not quite sure why they put Cena/Barrett on last. Surely at this PPV it would've made more sense to have an actual TLC Match as the main event? Plus, they could've done that thing with the set earlier in the show. I was expecting something spectacular to happen which could only happen at the end (ie. the ring collapses or something), it was a slightly underwhelming end to the show TBH.

Thankfully the original ending to the Miz/Orton match wasn't the end of it (referees will force guys back onto the ring apron if they don't see a tag, but will happily end a WWE Title Table match even if they didn't see a guy go through a table?). Miz could've looked stronger with the actual ending, but it was quite good the way they did it. I guess they don't want Orton to look too weak....

The IC Title match was a nice way to start the show, and yeah, the divas match wasn't bad for what it was I thought. Though it must say something that the combined weight of LayCool didn't break the table when they got shoved off the second rope....


EDIT: Though it seems they've suddenly changed the rules of a Table Match. Apparently you don't even have to put through a table, you can fall through one now and it counts as a win.

Yeah I noticed that rule change with the tables matches, I remember the numerous times Hardyz used to fly through them missing their opponent and it never counted, oh well.

Not a fan of the opening match, with 2 other ladder matches on the card clearly they chose this to not have any cool spots and not upstage the others.

TLC Fatal 4 Way should definately had gone on last, cracking match.

MOTN was definately Morrison vs Sheamus, when he is just allowed to wrestle, and not do is boring babyface promos, JoMo is awesome, that match may have taken him to the next level.

For what it was, the Divas Tables match was ok.  Tag Title was just filler.  Not ultra keen on the Chairs match, and the last bit was just dumb, he clearly protected Wade, were we really meant to believe, something designed to carry countless chairs could not withstand countless chairs landing on it?  Really?
