I took my friend to TLC and he pretty much hasn't watched regularly since the golden age.
He casually watched during attitude era and he did go to mania with me. Anyhow always interesting how someone like this would view the show.
He said he has a great time and really enjoyed the 4 way elimination tag team match, along with the main event, handicap matches, and even AJ's match! He did admit some of the other matches were just ok, so LOL Miz and Kofi.
No doubt we are far more picky since we watch regularly, but even those that watch here and there have a pretty good gauge of what is bad and good. He also found crowd participation to be very entertaining.
