Does this match seem pointless to anybody? It's pretty much a No-Holds-Barred Match but chairs are encouraged more than any other weapon.

Chairs matches aren't a great concept, but they help make the TLC PPV so I don't mind them.
No Holds Barred matches are also stupid -- they're from the old days where someone doing a chokehold behind the ref's back was a big deal. But weapons were still illegal. Nowadays, No Holds Barred matches are really "No Weapons Barred" matches... But if someone interferes, there should still be a DQ. And there never is. So No Holds Barred matches are really just No DQ matches.

Actually, a chairs match is a regular match just with chairs. Any other weapon or illegal act results in a DQ.

It's a stupid made up match by a PG WWE in order to avoid having to use another kind of weapons.

Yeah, a chairs match has nothing to do with the PG rating. The only thing chairs have to do with the rating is a lack of shots to the head. The match was just made up to tie in with TLC as others have said. Doesn't make it any less stupid.

The chair match is a nice concept, the TLC PPV is one of the best gimmick PPV's made since 2009. It actually works quite nicely in getting us a Tables Match, a Ladders Match, a Chairs Match and then the combination of the three. Although I would prefer a different name to the PPV, its a nice concept. In WWE '13 my December PPV is called WWE Revolution. or 'TLC' Revolution. A mix of the PPV New Years Revolution but still with a TLC theme. Plus I realized afterwards that the games tag line is "Live the Revolution" so there's that too...

Same thing with Falls Count Anywhere and Hardcore Match

But at less with Big Show we get the giant folding chair which makes it more "special". Yeah I got nothing more to add.

The only thing I cared about in any Chair match they had, was when Big Show used that Giant Chair. That was a good surprise.

Well it's pointless cuz they don't even do chair shots to the head anymore.

In a Falls Count Anywhere you can't use foreign objects, it just means that pinfalls can be anywhere. Also, Street Fight has a difference: wrestlers will wear jeans.

This goes for all gimmick matches. I hate that they build feuds around the gimmick matches. Meaning you know around TLC someone will attack someone else with a chair and their match will be a chairs match. Like with Hell in a Cell. It used to be for big time feuds and it was special. Now whoever is in a main event feud in October gets a Hell in a Cell match.

It's a stupid match to further enhance the stupid concept of gimmick Pay-Per-Views.
