WWE TLC 2011 Preview & Live Discussion Thread

[Cyrus Riddle]

I think that's the main reason why they should have less PPV's. I just don't feel that him winning at TLC is going to be all that special in the grand scheme of things. Of course I still don't think he's going to be a very good US Champ either, but that's just me.

I have been a little agitated at the amount of PPV's they have per year as well. In my opinion, having so many pay per views turns fans away. Nobody wants to spend $45 on a PPV then turn around and feel like they have to do it again 3 weeks later. Not only that, it doesn't give enough time to build feuds and make the matches feel special. I remember when a feud had every Raw and Smackdown to play out on until the pay per view. There was so much time to build an extreme amount of tension that the matches felt like they had to be seen.

I don't really mind so many pay per views. I only think that they should be held on the last day of every month and not so spread out and not have two in October.

I agree with that...October is horrible pay per view time too, 3 weeks apart is too soon, especially when they don't announce matches right away. TLC has only had a card for about a week and a half.

I'm a big stickler for Pay-Per-View. I can't help but get excited when I realize there's one on this Sunday. 3 hours of nonstop wrestling action!

I agree though there needs to be substantially better build towards them and there shouldn't be more than one a month.

 

[Cyrus Riddle]

One aspect I would like to see change about the current pay per view setup is the use of gimmick matches. I'm a sucker for a good gimmick match, but there does come a time when the matches become stale and need reinvention.

I agree. It's beyond redundant. It's overkill. We don't need two Elimination Chamber matches or two Hell in a Cell matches in one night. FFS.

I like the booking of this TLC. But seriously? A whole show where every match features a ladder, a chair or a table? C'mon.

 

[Cyrus Riddle]

My point exactly, it takes away from the tradition of the gimmick match putting an end to a great feud. I can't really see how a chairs match is worthy of being a legit stipulation.

 

[Sabretooth]

wwe doesn't get enough build up. Most pay per view cards lately from wwe have only had 6 matches. Summerslam and survivor series. Two of wwe's big four have only had 6 matches this year. I understand royal rumble since it the RR match takes an hour. But all other pay per views should have 8 matches. wwe just fills in the time with promos and other shit. This is wrestling that's what we want to see. Less talk more action.

Nicely put

Thanks

Just a quick FYI to anyone who missed it, I won't be doing a predictions contest for this show. Since the league was only started last month, and with the new year upcoming, it just makes more sense to just wait and start things up again in 2012.

So if you wanna predictions or whatnot, just do it here.

I agree on starting both WWE and TNA prediction contests in 2012. It makes the most sense.

Although maybe if enough people still wanna predict the show, we could do a another practice round like were doing before last month?

 

[Postman Dave]

I'll throw one together, just for you guys

 

[Fuji Vice]

Also, since the predictions contests are starting over again I guess that means I won the TNA Season.

Yay me.
