I'll be watching TLC in the best way: the replay, listening to it on my phone, while driving for two hours. I have zero fear that it will distract me from the road.

This but 'while doing chores' instead of driving. I didn't hate last TLC but aside from Stairs Shenanigans it was just a wet fart of a nothing PPV and nothing about this card tells me there will be something interesting.

Malaise. The card looks alright I guess but I literally stopped watching TLC last year in favor of sleep.

It's pretty easy if you're forced to do it consistently year after year.

e: and also if you're PG-WWE.

If WWE wasn't PG right now it would be the exact same product but with swear words.

I honestly think the only match that's likely to be a true stinker is ADR/Swagger. Chairs matches are pretty dumb as a concept. Charlotte/Paige is a coinflip in terms of quality. The rest...I think the wrestling will be good, even the booking is questionable. I'm sure that I'll be Sports Entertained.

I strongly recommend watching with friends because that keeps you from going into a Spiral of Despair even if it's bad.

That's why I said WWE-PG, not just PG. The issue isn't the rating but the specific content they're going for. If they don't want blood and nasty-looking chairshots and barbed wire everywhere that's fine, that's acceptable, but they shouldn't also run PPVs like "tables ladders and chairs" and "extreme rules" every year if the only difference between them and something like battleground is really dumb stips. It's 2015 and they're still trying to market to a hardcore fanbase that the product just doesn't appeal to and they really need to stop.

I really can't wait to see how Sheamus manages to retain while looking like utter poo poo, because Brock Lesnar is the only guy who isn't a lovely coward when he works heel

EDIT: Ideally the October PPV would be called Halloween Havoc and HiaC would happen once a year if even that as a blowoff to a massively hot feud

At least it gives us the textual irony of running an event called "Tables, Ladders and Chairs" while their roster is low on top-tier talent due to injury, even though in reality TLC isn't that much more dangerous than any other PPV.

I actually like Roman Reigns so I would be happy if he won the title and held it until, I dunno, at least Raw. Maybe he would even do cool things like be a champion who is both a full-timer and also not a complete pussy.

I mean, I don't believe for a second Roman's winning so I don't care, but still, I could technically be made to care.

And he lost because Show had a feud with Roman coming up (that went nowhere at the time because Roman won the Rumble)

EDIT There was also some support behind Rowan's midcard babyface push leading up to that match (he made Cesaro tap to the Torture Rack in like 4 minutes), and WWE went so far as to trademark the name "Big Red" as applied to a performer

One of the most one-sided feuds I can think of in recent memory. I don't even think Rowan got the upper hand once.

Well they had like four or five matches after their PPV match because when you lose to the Big Show clean you become his personal tune-up jobber

It's this and also that they try to maintain the suspension of disbelief while having people suddenly decide to start attacking each other with tables and chairs the second survivor series is over. I think I'd be happier with people arbitrarily being put into a chairs match and then deciding to use chairs in the build rather than try to act like its a natural step in a feud.
