Hogan’s awkward grin while being placed next to a person of color

 

Holy shit. I just heard what the card is for TLC and don't even want to watch it.

 

But hey, we'll get to see Asuka.

 

Meltzer has been sick for like 3 weeks lol

 

like rumored matches to be added, or the card as it’s been announced?

 

I don't mind how the card is looking now. Asuka debut and the main event will be a blast I'm sure

 

Shield/Braun + Bar
Alexa/Mickie
Enzo/Kalisto
Bray/Finn
Asuka/Emma squash

Nothing really interesting. It'll be awesome seeing Asuka get a huge pop, but there will be nothing to that match.

 

I'm starting to worry. The guy said he was getting rid of it like three weeks ago and it sounds worse every show.

 

Britt Baker and ADAM COLE BAY BAY are going to be on Parts Unknown with Anthony Bourdain.

 

TLC and Survivor Series will both be shit

Weird part is there arent any other obvious matches to add to the card. Elias and Jason Jordan would presumably get something, but they dont have a natural match, and I cant imagine they want to leave Matt Hardy off the card, but right now they have nothing.

And only one TLC match...which makes me think they'll shoe-horn a stipulation into one of those matches

 

oh, i definitely agree it’ll be awful. was just wondering if there were any rumored matches that may make it worse. doesn’t help that 3/4 of raw’s titles are not being defended.

i imagine we’ll get hardy/jordan v. gallows/anderson and something with elias/crews.

 

Was just thinking about that. Both the IC champion and the Raw Tag champs are in the main event and it appears Brock won't be at this PPV. At least the main event itself should be fun. The rest will most likely be pretty forgettable.

 

Go birds

 

Elias and Titus, guitar v banjo match

 

Also, just watched Progress Chapter 55 last night. Jimmy Havoc's paper cut spot is so stupid but I love it so much.

 

Aren't they also setting up Matt and Jason vs the Club?

 

Yeah wwe is really just relying on shield and asuka for tlc. But hey, I'm still excited to see shield and asuka so...

 

Asuka’s booking is gonna be interesting. it’s easy to run the dominance angle when the nxt taping format made for a max of two tv matches a month, and a big feud payoff only really happening 4 times a year. weekly TV and a guaranteed 1-2 ppvs a month coupled with the small pool of women on raw means they need to have a plan or theyre gonna book themselves into a corner fast.

 

Let's be honest here. The only real way to book Asuka's debut is for her to squash Brock. But there's no way in hell that's going to happen. So everything sucks.

 

They had that match once already and the Club won clean-ish. In the same way Elias has beaten Apollo/Titus multiple times. They're filler, but, no idea what else they roll out at TLC otherwise.

 

I just hope they don't make her first loss happen any time soon

 

Tougher too if she's a face; they've booked Elias really well, but thats because he can sing in a segment and get heat.

They started off ok with Shinsuke, only having him wrestle once or twice between PPVs.
