After last year's mediocre Taboo Tuesday, this one really delivered in which the fans played a huge role in this PPV event.FIRST MATCH- GENE SNITSKY & CHRIS MASTERS VS. ????? & ????? IN A RAW VS. SMACKDOWN INTERPROMOTIONAL TAG TEAM MATCH THE OPTIONS WERE REY MYSTERIO, MATT HARDY, HARDCORE HOLLY, JBL & Christian THE FANS VOTED FOR REY MYSTERIO & MATT HARDY IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE EDGE TEAMING UP WITH CHRIS MASTERS, BUT EDGE BACKED DOWN, & CHOSE SNITSKY AS HIS SUBSTITUTE Great way to start the show, it was given the time it needed, & all four superstars showed off their wrestling skills, great match. Mysterio wins after a Springboard Leg Drop on Masters. 6/10SECOND MATCH- CARLITO VS. ????? THE THREE OPTIONS WERE MICK FOLEY, CACTUS JACK & DUDE LOVE THE FANS VOTED FOR CACTUS JACK Not really that bad of a match, but wasn't also slightly good, should of been given a bit more time. Cactus Jack wins after the Mandible Claw. 4/10THIRD MATCH- FULFILL YOUR FANTASY BATTLE ROYAL FOR THE WWE WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP THE THREE OPTIONS FOR WHAT THE DIVAS TO WEAR WAS SCHOOLGIRLS, NURSES & FRENCH MAIDS THE FANS VOTED FOR SCHOOLGIRLS I was a bit surprised at what an okay improved match this was, pretty entertaining, the reason being is Victoria made this match good. Mickie James & Victoria eliminate each other last, to make Trish win 7 retain her WWE Women's Championship. 5/10FOURTH MATCH- ROB CONWAY & TYSON TOMKO VS. EUGENE & ????? THE THREE OPTIONS WERE KAMALA, SERGAENT SLAUGHTER & JIMMY 'THE SUPERFLY' SNAUKA THE FANS VOTED FOR JIMMY 'THE SUPERFLY' SNAUKA Pretty slow, sloppy kind of match, wasn't really interesting as well. Eugene & Jimmy Snauka win, but I forgot how. 4/10FIFTH MATCH- JONATHAN COACHMAN W/ GOLDUST & VADER VS. BATISTA IN A ????? THE THREE OPTIONS WERE STREET FIGHT, VERBAL DEBATE & ARM WRESTLING CONTEST THE FANS VOTED FOR STREET FIGHT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN VS. JONATHAN COACHMAN, BUT STONE COLD WAS INJURED Too quick, & way too rushed, we all know Batista can beat up Coach any time, & this match was no different. Batista wins after nailing a Batista Bomb on Coach. 2/10SIXTH MATCH- LANCE CADE & TREVOR MURDOCH {CHAMPIONS} VS. ????? & ????? FOR THE WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS THE THREE OPTIONS FOR A WRESTLER TO FACE JOHN CENA & KURT ANGLE IN A TRIPLE-THREAT MATCH FOR WORLD TITLE IS SHAWN MICHAELS, BIG SHOW & KANE THE FANS VOTED FOR SHAWN MICHAELS BIG SHOW & KANE TEAM UP TO FACE THE WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS The match was a bit slow, normally because of the size difference between the teams. Big Show & Kane nail a double-chokeslam on Lance Cade to win the World Tag Team Championships. 4/10SEVENTH MATCH- RIC FLAIR {CHAMPION} VS. TRIPLE H IN A ????? MATCH FOR THE WWE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP THE THREE OPTIONS WERE STEEL CAGE, NORMAL MATCH & SUBMISSION MATCH THE FANS VOTED FOR STEEL CAGE What a brutal, bloody & entertaining match this was, words can't do justice of how this match was brutal & sadistic. Both men gave it their all, as they were both bleeding profusely during this match. Ric Flair nails HHH repeatedly on the head with a steel chair, then escapes the steel cage to get the win & retain his WWE Intercontinental Championship. 7/10EIGHT MATCH- JOHN CENA {CHAMPION} VS. KURT ANGLE VS. SHAWN MICHAELS IN A TRIPLE-THREAT MATCH FOR THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP I have seen many triple-threat matches, & this match was the best out of all of them. It was fast paced, everything a main event should be. All three men did it their all to entertain the fans & pull out almost a 5 star main event classic. John Cena nails Shawn Michaels with the F-U to get the win & retain his WWE Championship. 7/10Great PPV, no doubt about it, as this was way better than the disappointment Taboo Tuesday that happened last year. Good on ya Raw for pulling out a good Raw interactive PPV.Overall I'll give it 8/10 & a B+

Taboo Tuesday was yet another solid outing by the WWE Raw's brand. As good as the action was it seemed like a complete rehash of last years event.Ric Flair once again competed in the Steel Cage, there was another Fantasy Battle Royal, HBK was in the main event and the runners up took on the World Tag Team Champions.The main event of the show was an excellent Triple threat match featuring John Cena, Kurt Angle and Shawn Michaels. Hell, you can't go wrong with Angle and HBK in the main event anyway. Cena pulled out the win but you have to wonder how much longer WWE will keep him as a baby-face champion considering the reaction he's been getting from the crowd lately. WWE fans don't want to be cheering Cena, a heel turn is needed desperately.Flair and The Game was a hard hitting, old school Steel Cage match not for the faint of heart. You couldn't help but feel caught up in the moment when Ric Flair escaped the cage and picked up the win. As much as I like Flair as an on screen character I don't want to be seeing him in a full time wrestling capacity. At the end of the day Flair is past his prime and should be doing the occasional return like Hogan, not wrestling every week on Raw as it's Intercontinental Champion.The rest of the card ranged from good to passable. The battle of the brands tag team match was better than could be expected considering the useless Snitsky replaced Edge for no apparent reason and the Tag Team Championship match was enjoyable too.The only real disappointment came in the Street Fight between Batista and The Coach. Vader lumbered around the ring and cocked up everything he attempted to do and was Goldust there as a favour to new WWE employee Dusty Rhodes? These too should be kept well away from wrestling rings these days.Speaking of returns, what was with the crowds reaction to Mick Foley returning as Mankind. Sure the arena only holds about 6,000 but you would have thought they would have been more optimistic about the legend returning. Maybe if WWE had done more to build up the return, as they did with Foley and Orton in 2004, they would have been different.A good show by Raw in the end. Far better than anything Smackdown! has produced since No Mercy 2003. Raw has the right formula and the right stars and once again showed why it, and not Smackdown!, is the number one brand in sports entertainment today.

WWE presented to us a fairly decent PPV. But it was obvious who WWE wanted the fans to vote for. WWE selected Shawn Michaels to do run ins and promos relating to Kurt Angle and John Cena and WWE selected Rey Mysterio as the main man to interfere on Raw. Overall a solid PPV and more interesting than last years.Results from the show: - Eugene and 'Superfly' Jimmy Snuka defeated Rob Conway and Tyson Tomko.Matt Hardy and Rey Mysterio defeated Chris Nowinski and Gene Snitsky in a fine match up.Kane and Big Show defeated Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch to win the WWE tag team belts. Murdoch who is no relation to Dick Murdoch looked terrible.Ric Flair defeated Triple H in a steel cage match.Batista defeated The Coach in a street fight. Batty was bought on for the replacement for 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin.Trish Stratus defeated Mickey James, Victoria, Ashley, Candace and Marie in a battle royal.John Cena defeated Kurt Angle and Shawn Michaels in a good match.Overall Grade - B+

wow what a pay per view i taped it in the middle of the night because of the time difference and watched it in the morning first thing and i never expected it to be that good well i will give the lowdown on what happened 1st match "raw's" gene snistky & Chris masters vs "smackdown's" Matt hardy & Rey mysterio the fans voted for Matt hardy and mysterio to face edge and masters but edge quitted the match and gene snit sky replaced him. it was a brilliant momentum swinging match with many high flying and mat based moves the match ended when hardy gave masters the twist of fate and Rey spring boarded masters for the pin match rating 4.5/5 2nd match Eugene and jimmy super fly vs rob Conway and Tyson tomko this match was neither fantastic or awful but it was good because we got to see the super fly back in action. the match ended with super fly pinning Conway with a top rope body press match rating 2.5/5 3rd match mankind vs carlito the wwe audience voted for Mick Foley to play mankind for the night and he did but the match was not very exiting it ended very quickly with mankind making carlito submit to the mandible claw match rating 0.5/5 4th match tag team championship cade and Murdoch vs big show and Kane big show and Kane flattened the pair from Tennessee in this match Murdoch and cade did not really stand a chance. this was quite an entertaining match with big show and Kane picking up the victory with both of them doublechokeslam on cade which made them, new world tag team champions match rating 3.5/5 5th match street fight Batista vs Jonathan coachman this match was billed to be the best on the card as the original plan was Steve Austin vs coach but due to an argument with the wwe Austin pulled out of the match so Batista was put in his place.but coach did not come to ringside alone he came with gold ust and Vader but that did not stop Batista picking up the win with the Batista bomb match rating 3.5/5 6th match womens championship match the public decided for the divas to wear lingerie in their match and we were the real winners Trish stratus picked up the win when maria,Candice,Victoria,Mickie and Ashley were all thrown out of the ring.match rating 4/5 6th match steel cage match triple h vs Ric flair this was match was about pride and what a match it was both superstars shed flesh and blood trying to better their opponent Ric flair came away with the win by escaping the cage match rating 5/5 wwe championship john cena vs Kurt angle vs Shawn Michaels this match absolutely stole the show Kurt angle and Michaels slammed cena though the table but cena came back but got trapped in the ankle lock on the brink of tapping out Shawn Michaels broke up the hold just as Shawn Michaels super kicked angle cena hoisted Michaels up for the f-u and the 123 for the victory match rating 5/5 so that was the whole pay per view summed up i would recommend it to buy on DVD par per view rating 9/10 grade A by lewis milling ton
