Creation
Tables, Ladders & Chairs is a WWE pay-per-view show in which wrestlers participate in various fiudas and storylines . Wrestlers personify villains or heroes in the ring. The fyudas pass in such a way that at first, on ordinary episodes, the situation is heating up, and already at the wrestling holidays themselves, this or that feud usually approaches its logical conclusion. [1] [2]
The basis of this PPV will be matches with tables, ladders and chairs. In the match with the tables, the wrestler needs to break the table with his opponent; in a match with ladders, the wrestler needs to climb the ladder and remove the championship belt or some kind of contract. Usually, a match for the WWE championship is put right into the match with tables, ladders and chairs, where the wrestler needs to climb the ladder and pick up a belt or keep his opponent.
