I don't even super mind the booking necessarily, just unscript the wrestlers and allow them to "shoot", as it were, all over each other.

So what is the card for TLC?

Wyatts vs ECW: Table Elimination Match
Charlotte vs Paige : Divas Championship Match
ADR vs Swagger: Chairs Match (assumed)
Owens vs Ambrose: Intercontinental Title Match
New Day vs Usos vs Lucha Dragons: Ladder Match for Tag Titles
Roman vs Sheamus: TLC Match for WWE WHC

Am I missing anything? It'll probably be another good card with bad writing.

Basically

Where's the stairs match

The big problem is when people suggest HHH is fixing everything

Nothing's gonna get fixed. People will still be mistreated, writing will still be horrible, just because a different guy will be in charge won't mean 3 hours magically doesn't feel as drawn out, he'll still give himself a big onscreen role. The big problems will still be there, the not-so-big problems (who loves Reigns? HHH. who loves Sheamus? HHH) will still be there, and NXT and WWE will remain two completely separate things (he even pointed that out himself because one's viewed by a niche audience, the other by mainstream)

Just because it won't be as major poo poo doesn't mean it'll suddenly not be poo poo. Don't call anybody the savior here because this isn't a fairytale, there isn't going to be a completely happy ending. TNA will still be around and WWE's major problems will be untouched
Sure Roman and Sheamus will still get pushed, but I don't think HHH is going to personally write their promos

He's making disparaging remarks about the Irish so it's more Merry Melodies. A step up, imo.

Remember how for like 30 seconds when the Wyatts first appeared, the crowd began to legitimately lose their poo poo and everyone thought something crazy and unexpected and interesting was unfolding?



Also, did anyone notice the significant amount of empty seats in the crowd during that last segment? I'm not sure if it's people not coming in the first place or people leaving early, but either way seems kinda bad.

The Wyatts turning face out of nowhere to take on the League of Nations was really cool, and then they didn't do it, and then they lost to Tommy Dreamer, and then Braun squashed him.

Until Vince is literally dead and we still get promos like that last one I will not believe said promos don't have Vince's stink all over them. Like seriously even before HHH "took over", Cena had the same "voice" in his promos. It's the same writing, and you have to be half dead to not notice it. It's how Vince scripts his top faces, period.

Also yes, the tater tots thing was stupid but hey it got over, and the spear was good, so if the segment as a whole was tightened up in every way it would've been fine. The problem was that it dragged. And dragged. And dragged.
Cena write his own promos.

Reigns sounds like Cena because they can only imitate the last thing that was successful. That is why Cena was really going for a Rock thing when he was still getting his main event legs underneath him.

In other news:
- Release Titus if he's not going to tag with D-Young
- Release Adam Rose
- Send Ziggler home until they decide to not make him a loser
- Stop squeezing blood from the ECW stone
- Lana/Rusev is still douchey and weird
- I think Ryback was there too, release him

So, with it being a no disqualication ladder match for the tag titles, does that mean all 3 members of new day have a chance to claim the title?

Edit: I mean "retain," but still, if xavier climbs the ladder, will freebird rule be respected there?

If they want to do that finish, they'll fudge the rules to do the thing they want to do.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

I'm sure it's been mentioned, but Roman Reigns and Company, (RR&C), is one of the worst names for a team ever. Even if it was just for that one match.

It explicitly and specifically tells you that THIS guy is the guy you should care about, and these other nobodies are just his mates and are making up the numbers. I mean it, they would be nowhere without their cool and good looking, and tough friend.

No-one but Vince is buying it however. and as a result, Roman looks worse.

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.
