Easily one of the best PPVs of 2012 imo. Too bad more people didn't check it out. I think that 6 man TLC match was one of the most entertaining matches we saw all year. I do wonder what the show would have drawn with Punk vs Ryback as a headliner for the title. Haven't PPV buys been on a steady decline all year though, for like the last 3 years. So sans Mania, where WWE blows their load every year, I'm not shocked to see PPV buys be down from month-to-month or from previous years. I thought most of the buyrates from 2012 were up from 2011? I've read a lot of reports saying so. Maybe. I thought only SummerSlam and Mania were up this year though. I feel like every time I read PWNet when they release the official buys, not the estimates which are always terribly inflated, they are down from previous years. They usually list the previous two or three years and it's been a steady decline. I'm guessing the Rumble will be up though because of Rock, as will Chamber and hopefully Mania again. I'd like to see WWE be rewarded for putting out a quality show. It just reinforces even further why they need to focus on cementing new stars. What happens at Extreme Rules when Rock's name is off the marquee? It becomes a tough sell for the rest of the year imo.

Good booking = Good buy rates and it's that simple. Money In The Bank CM Punk Vs John Cena was huge because of the angle. You either have to have big names or good stories and Dolph Vs Cena was awful.

As a wrestling fan I've learned to stop caring about ratings and buyrates. As long as I'm entertained that's what matters and TLC was one hell of an entertaining PPV. All this means to me is that a lot of people missed out. This, This, This
