Hell, even since the advent of the TLC match Ladder ones have still used chairs and tables on occasion. Edge winning the first Money in the Bank match and Kofi putting McIntyre through the announce table come to mind.

But yeah they use chairs and tables in ladder matches still. A chairs match should be you have to strap someone to a chair. It'd be like a casket match sort of (or a chamber of horrors match without the chamber or the horrors). Then afterwards you get to beat them up for a specified amount of time while they're helpless.

A normal match in which the use of chairs is not only welcomed, it's allowed.
God, I hate these gimmick PPVs. It wouldn't be so bad if the two world title matches were gimmicked and everything else was just as you were, but filling an entire card with various tables, ladders and chairs combinations is just... crap. Crap crap crap. In fact, I think the TLC PPV should be a Wrestlecrap contender, because I don't think any of the other gimmick PPVs are anywhere near as bad in terms of poor quality and struggling to get decent matches that people care about on the card.

Not to mention, having a "chairs" match in this PG era is like watching softcore porn on Cinemax. You might see shades of something exciting, but in the end, you know you're not going to get the money shot. If they're going to ban headshots (and rightfully so), then they should just leave the chairs out of the equation completely. What can they really do to register a knockout blow with a chair? Hit him in the back?

I'm pretty sure that ever since the first TLC PPV, it's been firm that you can't use non-ladder weapons in a ladder match, and can't use non-table weapons in a tables match. Going by how they did things back when TLC matches were still numbered is just being a hater, because everyone knows this is not the same show as before

Does it actually HAVE a point? Like has been said....in a ladder match you can use tables/chairs. In a tables match you can use chairs/ladders if you so choose. Thus logic prevailing in a chairs match you should be able to use tables/ladder if you want to. Which sure as hell sounds a lot like plain ole TLC matches which is coincidentally the name of the damn ppv....with an actual TLC match also on the card. WWE...we know they are all the same gimmick just name differently. You aren't fooling anyone. At least humor us and put the chair on a pole or something! Can you use tables and chairs in a ladder match? I always assumed you couldn't because then that makes it exactly the same as a TLC match! Is the money in bank ladder match actually a money in the bank TLC match? none of this makes any sense any more! the only difference between a ladder match and a TLC match is that in the latter you'll have a lot of chairs and tables ready to be used outside of the ring, as well as ladders

The secret stipulation of Chairs match is that if you make a really high tower out of a group of chairs, you win. Noone's exploited this yet. Hopefully Barrett will use Nexus' help to achieve this. Chair towers are difficult to make. Which member of Nexus has the necessary training in architecture to pull off a chair tower? Well, Otunga has that degree from Harvard... But it's always the ones who get ignored the most, so keep an eye out on that Husky Harris fellow.

They should have a big La-Z-Boy recliner on the stage...but it's filled with poisonous snakes!!! You have to make your opponent sit in it to win.

I like to think that in a ladder match during TLC PPV they removed all the tables from under the ring so if you really wanted a table you'd have to go to the backstage area to get the table.

It seems the most like a not-so well thought idea than a few of the recent ones.

You guys misheard. It's actually a CHERS match. The wrestlers dress up as Cher and sing her greatest hits. The audience decides the winner. See, I thought they said Cheers match. I was waiting for the announcement of special referee Cliff Clavin.

I'd prefer a Musical Chairs match. Now I would pay half a gajillion pounds to see Cena and Barrett end their fued in a Musical Chairs match.

Whoever gets hit in the head with the chair first loses.

They have to count how many chairs are empty during a Randy Orton match/promo, closest without going over wins the match.

If I were feeling more up to it, I'd photoshop a bunch of WWE guys playing musical chairs. Or post a pic when Eugene was GM of Raw That "match" is on the Raw 15th Anniversary DVD (3rd DVD, actually) and is one of the highlights, in my opinion. I would not mind a "Number One Contender's" Musical Chairs match again.
