TBC does not kill world PvP.
Flying mounts DO kill world PvP in later expansions, but in TBC there was still plenty of PvP on the ground.
Even once everyone started to finish all the tasks that brought them out into the world and put them in harms way for PvP, Isle was released which was a massive PvP hotspot.
TBC era many people still spent time outside of Outlands and that still had plenty of PvP. The capitol cities do not change.
TBC also opened up Arena, which changed the dynamic of WoW pvp forever.
edit: just so you know where I am coming from, I have never ever been a fan of flying mounts and I was dramatically opposed to Draenor being a flying area when it was released on live. I do however believe that, based on my experience, flying was not an issue in TBC.
