The only current gimmick PPV I like is TLC. Probably because TLC is my favorite match type and we're nearly always guaranteed a good TLC and ladder match. Don't really care for tables matches, and a chairs match can fuck off lol. Elimination Chamber is also an ok gimmick PPV, as the match quality is usually good and they tend to actually use the chamber. Which brings me to the HIAC PPV, yeah that should go. They hardly make any use of the Cell and most of time the feud isn't really as intense to warrant the use of a HIAC. Gimmick PPV's like Fatal Four Way and Breaking Point were just the worst imo.

TLC is kinda rendered useless when they have ladder matches at Extreme Rules . I'm surprised we haven't had a random HIAC match on that show yet tbh lol.

TLC can join the list of useless gimmick PPV's now that we have one decided by pinfall. Bad enough we had a fucking sledgehammer hanging last year lol. Now we don't even have anything!

And the funny thing is, Vince McMahon made Vickie Guerrero make the ladder match between Cena and Dolph for the MITB Briefcase because they couldn't have a ladder match with nothing to reach for .

Anyway, with the TLC match being able to end in pinfall, they've finally caught up with Smackdown 2 for 2000!

Cal, do you really hate Christmas?

Yep.

OT: Some match = ***1/2.

- Triple H comes over to Smackdown and wins the WHC again in a battle royal, turning tweenish/faceish in the effort.

- Rey Mysterio wins the Royal Rumble

- Kurt Angle challenges the streak

Wrestlemania XXII

WWE Championship : Edge(c) vs John Cena
World Heavyweight Championship : Triple H (C) vs Rey Mysterio (PERHAPS vs Randy Orton)
Kurt Angle vs The Undertaker

- Edge is happy because he gets to main event Wrestlemania with a ridiculous amount of momentum
- Cena is happy because he gets to take the title back at Mania
- Rey still gets the title and is still happy
- Angle/Taker get their streak match
- HHH is happy because he gets another world title
- Orton is happy because he gets to homo-erotically tangle it up with Triple H.

HOW DID THEY FUCK THIS UP.

I would have liked to have seen them do the Backlash main event at WrestleMania if they wanted to keep Edge's momentum as WWE Champion going. I say this because Cena making HHH tap out in the main event was huge and I believe creative/McMahon felt that was more important than how hot Edge was at the time. In hindsight, Cena beating Trips was a great decision for the face of the company even at the expense of a longer title reign for Edge.

My card

Edge/Cena/Trips WWE Title
Orton/Mysterio World Title (Orton would have won the SD battle royal instead of Angle)
Angle/Undertaker
Benoit/Finlay US Title
Foley/JBL Hardcore Match (I think this feud would have been cool (the promos!) and lead to the ECW show)

Rest of the card I'd keep the same only putting Booker in MITB

Maybe KaneShow/MNM Brand supremacy or something if there's time

I hate gimmick PPVs they run the gimmick into the ground. I have yet to see a single HIAC or TLC PPV and I even stopped getting Elimination Chambers (in face I haven't seen one in YEARS) because they destroyed the gimmick.
