This PPV is just to get the tumblr fan-base to buy the PPV. Have Punk physically dominated by the Shield? Have Orton and Cena rolling around in the ring shirts off? Seems too fishy for me.

Not looking forward to those handicapped matches. Well, the Wyatt Family v. Bryan one might have some good storytelling to it which does have me intrigued but not all looking forward to Shield v. Punk. I am just getting tired of seeing the Shield in 3-on-? matches all the time. They are a great unit but I'd like to see them with some more tag and singles stuff.

Well, the good thing is that we still have all three single stipulations left for any other matches to be booked, keeping that possible ladder match for the tag titles in play (that unfortunately will likely not involve The Shield).
Although, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't use those other stipulations and just have Cena v Orton be the only plunder match of the night.

Maybe Punk vs. The Shield will be a Chairs Match.

If they go through with two handicap matches, I'm thinking one of them will be an upset win for the face. Probably Punk, so they can have miscommunication between the Shield lead to his surprise win and keep teasing the eventual breakup/Reigns face turn.

You mean something like Reigns going for the Spear on Punk, Punk avoids it and Reigns ends up spearing Ambrose, Punk hits Reigns with a Roundhouse Kick and then hitting Rollins with the GTS for the win.

Rhodes & Goldust will probably face Curtis Axel & Ryback for the Tag Titles.

That would work, though I'd probably have Punk rollup whoever he pins for the win instead, to make the Shield look a bit stronger in spite of losing 3-on-1.

How do they not do a tag team TLC match is beyond me. Rollins & Reigns VS Usos VS Rhodes Bros VS Real Americans would be so money!
$$$
The handicap matches just remind me of something stupid that would be booked for RAW. Who books this crap?!?

So, does it even count as a guess to say that this show is going to suck, given our current card is two handicap matches and a Cena / Orton match?

Agree with the bolded part. Hopefully, they at least do a Rhodes Bros. vs. Real Americans vs. Usos Ladder Match.

Because what fan wouldn't want to see their favorite wrestler have to fight three opponents by himself?! [/sarcasm] I would have liked to see a TLC match between Shield v. Rhodes Dynasty. v. Real Americans. Maybe add the Usos too. I think it's stupid to put two of the biggest fan favorites in a 3-on-1 handicap match.

Maybe all that time spent rubbing elbows with Cena has given both Bryan and Punk his ability to overcome the odds.

Wouldn't the Handicap matches have made more sense for Survivor Series? You know, play up the "having to survive against three men" aspect.

This years "B+" guy and the "flavor of the month" from two years ago, at least as the heels have colored them. Both having to "overcome the odds".
Cena in a match where we can almost guarantee some "odds overcoming" size shenanigans will come into play.
One of the three will overcome those odds, so that they look "special".
Which makes the most sense?
An already over guy facing an already over stable, all four guys are established, with a push coming for one of the three heels. So, The Shield has to go over, with Punk "almost pulling it out" when Ambrose gets cocky. Reigns "saves the day" and the heels who are more tweener than heel at this point go over. Punk doesn't overcome the odds, but looks good.
The hot act of the year vs a team that creative are very high on. D-Bry needs the win so that he doesn't continue his "Ryback push" where he's over but keeps losing (since that's worked out beautifully for the future main eventer Ryback). The Wyatts have fans in the higher ups, and are the "big guys" Vince wants pushed. They're winning and it's not going to be an "almost made it" for D-Bry.
Cena/Orton both who have "the support of The Authority". I expect this week to have some courting of Cena by the heels, but of course he'll turn them down "to be loyal to the Cenation" and they'll pull out all the stops to "teach him a lesson" in the match. Cena will overcome the odds. I joke about Triple H running in and winning the title, but I see him challenging Cena as a result of Cena winning the "first ever unified WWE championship".

You know, I thought after SmackDown that they'd have announced The Rhodes Brothers v The Heyman Rejects for the tag titles, but the longer they hold off on it, the more I think that the sudden series of matches and non-title win was just to establish Ryback and Axel as a second heel team to go in a multi-team match for the titles along with The Usos and The Real Americans.

Could Sandow possibly cash in here and be The Unified Champion of The Future?

Remember when in 2010, all (Even the Divas match!!!) but one match had a stipulation regarded to using a table, ladder or chair? Or all three?
Can we have a TLC PPV like that one again?

The Giant Chair needs to reappear. Since he doesn't have a match at the PPV, just let Big Show randomly show up and throttle some heel with it to fill time.

Why isn't Jericho on the panel?
