Such a weirdly booked show. A very impulsive, slapped-together card. How many matches actually involve a TLC gimmick? Just Shield vs. "the heels with mild beef with a Shield member(s)" match?

Nice balance with two mens, three women and two cruiserweight matches...so there's that.

Asuka's debut should be cool. How strong will she be booked and how quick is she competing for the belt?

So... only 1 TLC match? No Ladder match or tables match!?! Lame

Also don't like Kane in the TLC match. Should have left it as 4 on 3.

It may be the worst card I've seen.

2006 December to Dismember

Stevie Richards vs. Renee Dupree
Hardy Boys vs. MnM
Balls Mahoney vs. Matt Striker
Elijah Burke & Sylvester Terkay vs. The FBI
Daivari vs. Tommy Dreamer
Kevin Thorn & Ariel vs. Mike Knox & Kelly Kelly
Bobby Lashley vs. Big Show w/ Paul Heyman, CM Punk, Test, Hardcore Holly, RVD in the Elimination Chamber

If you have the WWE network, have fun watching!

its weak, but i dont mind the card, in the way that we're having the CWs and the women in there instead of the same people, but its the obvious effect of stacking your main-event.

It's not just the stacking of the TLC match, there's no Lesnar either. So three of your titles are not being defended, which leads to a weaker looking card.

There's also the question if the Bray match will actually take place. He's missed shows since the start of the month, and might not be fit for the PPV. So if that match is gone, then the card looks far worse.

Like I said just before, the health issues were already known. It's been reported to be viral meningitis, with Bray and Bo both out with it. This might mean Reigns has been hit by it too, it's a Raw roster issue atm.

I wonder if Angle even wrestlers and just stands on the apron. How does this match work anyway, I havent watched RAW for like a month. Is it a tag match or because its TLC its no DQ and a free for all?

Of anything you could have done, you choose Angle?

Should have called up Kassius Ohno to work with Seth and Dean

Or, I dunno, just put Finn in the match?

Like I said else where, you don't know what the plans are going forward to know if they can or can't do those things. Making those changes may not make sense with where the booking is heading.

And calling up Ohno isn't an option. They're replacing two starts with two different stars. While Ohno is one of the best in the world, he's a non-name guy in comparison so wouldn't have gotten a look. He's not even positioned as a top guy in NXT. McIntyre would be a better shout.

What the f***??

So WWE is tentative on Angle wrestling so they throw him into a TLC match??

Why the brand split if they're doing this shit again?? Why not give someone a nice rub? Call Neville and give him the match against Finn?

As a wrestling fan, I'm not complaining. But hopefully they don't try to make me buy their shitty story and just give us the matches as special attractions?
