Bit of a mixed bag this one. Some matches that should be good. Some that will likely bore the shit out of me.

Also, I can't help but laugh every time Balor is on PPV and they use that image of him. Looks like he's full on flexing and it just looks awkward as fuck along with that smile.

12-match card that looks strong on paper. We'll see how well it plays out. Survivor Series was strong, hopefully they can keep the trend up.

Main Event

That first match was a fucking joke. No lie, I almost turned it off half way through that and was considering giving up on the PPV all together. Stopping the match for a shot dance off? Four of the worse wrestlers in the main roster and they're somehow on PPV? The whole thing was just a joke. Would be pissed if I was a paying fan. No one would want to pay to watch that match on PPV. A match that should be on early on an episode of Raw or Smackdown at best.

Thought the fans were a bit harsh on the Ambrose/Rollins match with their boring chants. It wasn't as good as expected, but it wasn't boring. Both can do better though, so it was a bit of a disappointment. It was definitely missing something though. It was okay.

One match that did what it should have done was the Corbin match. Best match he's had, and he was just getting his ass handed to him for all of it. Was entertaining though and incorporated everyone that he's pissed off recently.

I was disappointed with the end of the Women's TLC match. It was great up until then. Just ended up being rather anticlimactic. About time that Asuka won the title though as she's had an odd time since being promoted to the main roster after her excellent NXT run.

Bryan and Styles just showed that putting on good matches comes easy for them. Happy for this feud to continue.

Orton Vs Mysterio did nothing for me. Thoroughly mediocre.

How long until fans turn on Rousey like they did with Reigns? Because she seems to be booked the same. Incapable of being best and doing the whole superman thing of being best down and then easily winning is starting to get old. And Jax has tapped out so much recently that she hardly seems like a threat anymore.

Cruiserweight and Tag Title matches were fairly decent. Can't complain about them.

Totally didn't care for the Lashley match. He's been a disappointment since returning. Also didn't care about the Natalia Vs Ruby Riot match and thought that was poor as well.

Finally, sadly, the McIntyre match was very poor I thought. Two good wrestlers and they just failed to deliver.

This match should have been a TLC match. Put it on earlier in the card and make it a TLC one... then there's not two TLC matches in a row. Would have been good then. It's been built up massively... Should have been a battle, not a standard match. The booking was the real downfall for this match.

The whole thing has been a joke. And Truth and Carmella are a comedy duo. You shoulda kinda expected it lol.

Agreed. Not their best, but far from their worst.

Overall, I enjoyed the show. Bryan v AJ  was an old school *wrestling* match. Womens TLC was great. Ronda carried Nia to a serviceable match.

I expected it to take place on TV, not a PPV. There's no possible way that should ever be considered PPV worthy. I suppose if I'd bothered to watch Raw or Smackdown properly this month I'd have known. In fact, if it since it's a joint Raw/Smackdown match, this would be perfect for the pre-show and that's about as close to the actual PPV as it should ever get.

Oh I agree it has no right to be on PPV.
