WWE Taboo Tuesday 2004 Audience Reviews

Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
kliko400 Having to watch this first ever Raw interactive PPV, I was not really that much excited watching it, as knowing how bad ratings this got, despite a couple of good matches, this PPV was a bore.FIRST MATCH- CHRIS JERICHO VS. ????? FOR THE WWE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP THE OPTIONS WERE SHELTON BENJAMIN, MAVEN, ROSEY, HURRICANE, TAJIRI, BATISTA, RODNEY MACK, JONATHAN COACHMAN, WILLIAM REGAL & OTHER MIDCARD WRESTLERS THE FANS VOTED FOR SHELTON BENJAMIN Not a bad way to start off the match, but it went mostly slow, & not that much pace was quickened. Jericho goes for a cross-body but Shelton reverses it into a T-Bone Suplex for the win, & to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship for the first time. 5/10SECOND MATCH- FULFILL YOUR FANTASY BATTLE ROYAL FOR THE WWE WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP THE OPTIONS WERE FOR THE DIVAS TO BE DRESSED AS SCHOOLGIRLS, FRENCHMAIDS & JOCKS THE FANS VOTED FOR SCHOOLGIRLS Bad, just bad, Divas in the WWE are not used properly. Trish wins after throwing Molly Holly out to retain her WWE Women's Championship. 2/10THIRD MATCH- KANE W/ LITA VS. GENE SNITSKY IN A ????? THE OPTIONS WERE CHAIN MATCH, LEAD PIPE & STEEL CHAIR THE FANS VOTED FOR CHAIN Another bad, sloppy, slow & boring match. Words cannot do justice at how this match is a complete bore. Snitsky pins Kane for a 3 count, after he jumps from the top on a steel chair hung on Kane's throat, making him bleed profusely. After the match, Snitsky attacks Kane while he is on a stretcher. 2/10FOURTH MATCH- LA RESISTANCE VS. ????? & ????? FOR THE WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP THE THREE OPTIONS FOR THE SUPERSTAR TO FACE TRIPLE H FOR THE WORLD TITLE IS EDGE, SHAWN MICHAELS & CHRIS BENOIT THE FANS VOTED FOR SHAWN MICHAELS EDGE & CHRIS BENOIT FACE LA RESISTANCE FOR THE WORLD TAG TITLES This was an okay match, but something just stopped it from being a good one, don't know, but the match was acceptable enough to be entertaining. Edge leaves during the match, making Benoit face La Resistance on his own. Benoit makes a member of La Resistance tap out, to make Edge & himself the World Tag Team Champions. 5/10FIFTH MATCH- EUGENE VS. ERIC BISCHOFF IN A LOSER MUST ????? THE THREE OPTIONS WERE GET HIS HEAD SHAVED BALD, WEAR A DRESS OR BE A SLAVE FOR A MONTH THE FANS VOTED FOR SHAVING HEAD BALD This match was way too quick & lame. Eugene wins after a Big Boot, followed by a Leg Drop for the quick win. After the match, Bischoff tries to escape his way, but Vince McMahon comes, & makes Coach wear a dress, & makes Eugene shave his head bald, finally something good happens in the PPV. 2/10SIXTH MATCH- TRIPLE H VS. SHAWN MICHAELS FOR THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP We have seen these two fight many times, but this match was not really different. HHH focuses on Michael's leg almost the entire match. While the referee is down, Edge comes out of nowhere, spears Michaels, as HHH covers for the three count to retain his World Heavyweight Championship. 5/10SEVENTH MATCH- CHRISTY HEMME VS. CARMELLA IN A ????? THE THREE OPTIONS WERE LINGERIE PILLOW FIGHT {I FORGOT THE OTHER TWO OPTIONS} THE FANS VOTED FOR LINGERIE PILLOW FIGHT This is just lame, was not ever supposed to happen, & should of never been on this PPV. Christy Hemme wins after pinning Carmella. Just way too lame. 1/10EIGHT MATCH- RANDY ORTON VS. RIC FLAIR IN A ????? THE THREE OPTIONS WERE STEEL CAGE MATCH, SUBMISSION & FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE THE FANS VOTED FOR STEEL CAGE Again, this was a good match, but the slow pace just stopped it a little, but overall this was an okay mediocre match. Orton wins after nailing the busted open Ric Flair with an RKO. 5/10This was a pretty bad & bore of a PPV, especially the first Interactive Raw PPV. I agree with the ratings, as this was not good enough.Overall I'll give it 5/10 & a D
funderpantsbrian there was a good build up to Taboo Tuesday, the first ever interactive ppv where 'the fans choose the matches and stipulations'. Taboo Tuesday turned out to be a real bore.CHRIS JERICHO VS. SHELTON BENJAMIN - Only decent match of the night but this match could have been a lot better. Jericho vs. Benjamin seemed like a dream match but it just didn't work all that well. 6/10 DIVA BATTLE ROYAL -The fans got to fulfil their fantasy here, and choose between an evening gown match, aerobics thing or a lingerie pillow fight. They chose the pillow fight. Good for the reason that there was loads of half naked women jumping on each other in a ring. Bad if you actually want to see some wrestling. Just watch some porn instead. 2/10KANE VS. SNITSKY - Oh dear god this was horrible. And I don't mean brutal, I mean horrible. It was disgusting to watch, surprising that Kane was in such a rubbish match. The fans chose a steel chain as the weapon to be used in the match, maybe if they chose a steel chair the match would have been half decent. BORING AS HELL - 1/10 EUGENE VS. ERIC BISCHOFF - I don't even want to talk about this. 0/10LA RESISTANCE VS. BENOIT&EDGE - Tag team wrestling is dead. La Resistance are horrible to watch, if Benoit and Edge were up against a decent tag team it would have been o.k. But no, La Resistance. 4/10CHRISTY HEMME VS. CARMELLA - I'm sorry, do we wrestlign fans like watching two decent looking girls undress behind a curtain for five minutes. I take it the WWE were just trying to pass time here, because the match itself took two minutes. And it was rubbish. 0/10 TRIPLE H VS. SHAWN MICHAELS - J.R's loud commentary was the only thing keeping me from falling asleep during this match. Michaels was injured, Triple H didn't care. The match was definitely not the worst of the night, but it was still poor. HBK vs. Triple H, sounded like a great match, another big disappointment. - 4/10 RIC FLAIR VS. RANDY ORTON - Ill sum it up in three words- This match stunk. Worst cage match I've seen in a long time.So that ended Taboo Tuesday. So to sum up, the first interactive ppv, Taboo Tuesday was a horrible event, don't but the DVD. Please!
rvd_500 Taboo Tuesday was the first ever WWE interactive pay-per-view and it was probably the worst pay-per-view the WWE has held too.Match 1: Chris Jericho vs. Shelton Benjamin. Intercontinental Championship.This was the match of the evening. Shelton is a great athlete, as well as Jericho. After it was told that Shelton was going to face Jericho, he did not upset the fans. In the end Shelton came out on top after reversing a cross body into an Exploder Suplex. Beautiful!Rating: 4/5Match 2: Fulfill your fantasy Battle Royale. Women's Champion.This is not wrestling! I usually like the women's matches but when they are dressed as school girls, it just can't be good. Trish wins after Victoria distracts Molly. Jerry Lawler jumps up and down his seat the entire match. Get a grip, man!Rating: 1/5 Match 3: Kane vs. Gene Snitsky. Chain match.The storyline for this match was decent but the match just wasn't good. The fans picked the chain, but if they would of picked the chair, the match ending would of made so much more sense. I mean, the ref doesn't DQ Snitsky after using an illegal chair! Snitsky wins after crushing Kane's throat. Terrible booking! Rating: 0/5 Match 4: Eugene vs. Eric Bischoff. Hair match.Eugene really cracks me up. But he's a terrible wrestler. A 1-minute match that ends with Eugene hitting Bischoff with a Hogan Legdrop. Coach & Bischoff tries to get spared but Vince McMahon stops them and makes Coach wear a dress. Ending was good, but the match is what matters.Rating: 2/5 Match 5: Edge & Chris Benoit vs. La Resistance. World Tag Team Championship.Starts off as a normal tag match. Edge is still mad after it was told that HBK was going to challenge Triple H later and leaves Benoit alone after a while. Benoit manages to fend off both La Resistance members and make Grenier tap to the Crossface.Rating: 2/5Match 6: Christy vs. Carmella. Lingerie Pillow Fight.Give me a break! I mean what is this? It takes like an hour for them to switch clothes and Jerry Lawler is about to have a heart attack. After they switch, the match ends in a minute. Why didn't i get some ice cream while i had the chance? Rating: 0/5 Match 7: Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels. World Heavyweight Championship.This is a match we have seen too many times. Triple has been in every RAW pay-per-view main event this year accept one...where he faced HBK! This is one of the best matches of the evening. Edge spears the already injured HBK and Triple grabs the win.Rating: 2/5 (would have gotten 3/5 if it wasn't for Edge) Match 8 (main event): Randy Orton vs. Ric Flair. Steel Cage Match.This is also a match we have seen too many times. Not Orton vs. Flair but the cage match. And i don't think i have seen a good one since Edge vs. Jericho. It takes too much time for them to climb. Luckily, this match is saved by the fact that they almost never climb. Randy wins after an RKO. Flair shares a hug with Orton after the match. This match flat out stunk.Rating: 1/5 Good: Jericho vs. Benjamin/Triple H vs. HBK Bad: Orton vs. Flair/The Women's matches/Kane vs. SnitskyTaboo Tuesday rating: 1/5
Gary Ballance WWE hyped this pay-per-view as "the world's first interactive PPV" and that "the fans would get to decide the matches." In actuality, nearly all of the matches were decided in advance (and I guarantee that NO-ONE would have chosen the matches WWE did) and we, as fans, got to vote on very little. If ever there was proof that the WWE's focus is on segments rather than wrestling it's right here. Read on... (What follows is an account of the matches, such as they were, and a rating out of 10 per match- spoilers ahead..)MATCH 1-- Chris Jericho vs ?? (Intercontinental Title.) The internet audience (myself included) voted Shelton Benjamin to face Jericho for the I.C. Title. Both guys have proved that they can wrestle exciting fast-paced matches. Unfortunately, this match was slow, rather dull and a massive disappointment. This should have stolen the show, but it was a poor match and typical of the modern WWE style: bit of action, grind the match to a snail's pace with restholds, bit of action to finish. This won't cut it anymore. Anyway, Benjamin won with his Exploder Slam and got the IC Title. I hoped for and expected better from these two. 5/10.MATCH 2-- "Fulfil Your Fantasy Diva Battle Royal." The vote here was whether the fans wanted the divas dressed as nurses, French maids or schoolgirls. Schoolgirls was chosen and the battle royal took place involving Trish, Stacy, Nidia, Molly, Gail Kim, Jazz and Victoria. Trish won. So much for the credibility of the Womens division- not pick who should face Trish, but what they should wear?! Ridiculous. 4/10.MATCH 3-- Kane vs Gene Snitsky: Choose Your Weapon Match. The vote was whether the fans wanted to see the two use chairs, a lead pipe or a steel chain. The chain was chosen. While this feud has been built reasonably well (despite it coming off the appalling Lita pregnancy angle) this match was horrible. Utterly horrible. The only highlight was Snitsky "crushing Kane's throat" with a steel chair. It's interesting to see them build up Snitsky- the guy's crap, don't get me wrong, but I've been genuinely surprised that he has got the best of Kane in this feud so far. As a piece of feud-building, it was a good angle. As a match, it was poison. 2/10."MATCH" 4-- Eugene vs Eric Bischoff- Choose the Stipulation Match. The loser would have to (a) be the winner's servant, (b) wear a dress for a month, or (c) shave his head "bald". This was absolutely pathetic. Eugene beat Bischoff in about 2 minutes with a legdrop and then Vince McMahon embarrassed Bischoff on PPV for about the 5th time. Vince, WCW's finished- get over it! This long, painfully drawn-out segment had Vince mocking Bischoff for dying his hair (pot calling the kettle black) and forcing Jonathan Coachman to wear a dress. Much like WWE's other stipulations, they didn't follow it through- Bischoff wasn't shaved bald- he merely got a short haircut. Awful waste of time. 0/10.MATCH 5-- La Resistance vs Benoit & Edge. (World Tag Titles.) Seeing as how HBK was chosen to face HHH for the World Title, the two guys not chosen (Benoit & Edge) were to face La Res for the tag titles. OK match. Edge walked out towards the end, furious at not getting the Title shot. Benoit fought on alone and won the belts, forcing Rob Conway to tap out to the Crippler Crossface. Good action at the end. Otherwise, typical WWE tag match. 5/10. "MATCH" 6-- Christy Hemme vs Carmella DeCesere. The winner and runner-up, respectively, of the risible Diva Search competition faced off in a "match" to be chosen by the fans. The fans chose the lingerie pillow fight, rejecting an Evening Gown match and an aerobics challenge. The girls took nearly 5 minutes to get ready, undressing "provocatively" (not) in front of a white silhouetted screen, and had a 2 minute "match". Christy hit Carmella with a pillow then pinned her, with her shoulders obviously up. To think of all the actual talent that didn't wrestle boggles the mind. 0/10.MATCH 7-- Triple H vs Shawn Michaels. World Title Match. Michaels had a torn meniscus ligament in his knee so could barely wrestle. The match consisted, basically, of him being barely able to move around and HHH working the knee. Good psychology but not much of a match. Edge did a run-in at the end, Spearing HBK. (He could have at least whacked his knee with a chair to make Triple H's previous offense worthwhile, but when have WWE ever adhered to logic?) Triple H retained, pinning Michaels from the Spear. 5.5/10.MATCH 8-- Randy Orton vs Ric Flair. The fans chose the stipulation- a steel cage match. This feud was built up reasonably well, despite the fact that they've used this same situation of "doubting the Nature Boy" several times over the past few years. The match itself, though, was horrible. There's not really much else to say. Flair, if he is indeed a true legend, should know when to bow out gracefully. He does not belong in the main event anymore. RKO for the win from Orton. 3/10.OVERALL-- Taboo Tuesday could have been good had we, the fans, been given a little more say in what went down. I highly doubt any serious wrestling fan would want to see Bischoff vs Eugene or Christy vs Carmella. As I said, this is proof that the WWE no longer has a focus on wrestling- the Bischoff segment took ages, Christy and Carmella were "undressing" for about 5 minutes and there were numerous backstage promos, etc. The actual output of wrestling as a whole was disgraceful. Not one match got a higher vote than 5.5 on my rating. WWE have not got their heads screwed on right and if they continue along this road they're on, the ratings and the PPV buyrates are going to plummet. This was the worst PPV that I have seen this year.
