Taboo Tuesday
November 1st, 2005
San Diego, California
IpayOne Center
A video package airs for the event.
Edge and Chris Masters make their way out, and Joey Styles is commentating.
So, the winners - Rey Mysterio and Matt Hardy. Christian was backstage, probably his final obligation.
Edge gets on the mic and says he won't be wrestling tonight. He introduces his replacement as Gene Snitsky.
1. Gene Snitsky & Chris Masters vs Rey Mysterio & Matt Hardy
Result: Matt Hardy & Rey Mysterio (13:47)
Match: 7/10 - not bad. A little slow to begin with, but it picked up in the last five minutes or so.
In a very odd segment, Maria gives her clothes to Mick Foley...(don't ask).
Conway & Tomko come out. We see that Superfly Jimmy Snukka won the vote.
2. Rob Conway & Tyson Tomko vs Eugene & Superfly Jimmy Snukka
Result: Eugene & Superfly Jimmy Snukka (6:22)
Match: 4/10 - Didn't expect much really, what can I say?
Tomko attacks them after the match, and predictably, Hacksaw and Kamala come out to save the day.
An Undertaker DVD promo airs.
Carlito comes out, and the person selected is - Mankind (w00t!).
3. Carlito vs Mankind
Result: Mankind (7:22)
Match: 7/10 - Mankind wins with a Socko affixed with an afro :D
Vince talks to Eric Bischoff, generally ranting and raving.
Mick Foley goes backstage to chat on WWE.com.
The results of the main event vote are in - HBK wins, so Kane & Big Show will fight for the tag titles (3 out of 4 matches have been tag so far, woah).
4. Tag Titles: Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch (c) vs Big Show & Kane
Result: New champions - Kane & Big Show (7:59)
Match: 6/10 - Didn't expect much, and it wasn't that great, but satisfying to see Kane & Big Show with the straps.
The Grish goes to interview them, but Murdoch comes back and gets completely owned with a tandem chokeslam.
Vader and Goldust talk backstage with The Coach.
The Grish brings the Divas out and we find out they'll be wearing lingerie later.
A promo airs for Batista vs Coach.
Goldust makes his way out to the ring, and Vader follows. And the match will be a streetfight - as dominated by 91% of the votes.
5. Streetfight: Batista vs The Coach
Result: Batista (4:22)
Match: 3/10. Ridiculously, Batista manages to fend off Vader. I wanted Coach to win.
The Grish interviews HBK about his match later on. Kurt Angle interrupts them.
King and Joey plug the new Korn album.
6. Fulfil Your Fantasy Women's Title Battle Royal: Ashley vs Candice Michelle vs Mickie James vs Maria vs Trish Stratus (c)
Result: Trish Stratus (5:29)
1:18 - Maria by Trish/Mickie
2:07 - Candice by Ashley
3:34 - Ashley by Victoria
5:29 - Victoria by Mickie
5:29 - Mickie eliminated herself, sort of
Match: 2/10. What can I say? It's a lingerie battle royale, damnit. Although Mickie did say "owned" after the match, which made my inner-geek light up.
A promo for Ric Flair vs Triple H airs.
And the votes reveal it'll be a steel cage match.
7. Steel Cage IC Title Match: Ric Flair (c) vs Triple H
Result: Ric Flair
Match: 7.5/10.
Trips is helped backstage by refs.
8. WWE Title Triple Threat Match: HBK v Kurt Angle v John Cena (c)
Result: John Cena(16:43)
Match: 7/10 - Pretty cack-handed ending, nothing too special.
As an event, again, nothing special, but then very few WWE PPV's are these days.

He knows Dusty that's why he was in, knowing Goldust means squat in the industry

He was due to lose to the Coach and therefore refused to work the match so Batista took his place.

Personally, I really enjoyed the main event.
I've done nothing but watch all of the RAWs and Smackdown's I've missed on holiday, and the best match I've seen so far was that World Title main event.
It obviously helped that the crowd were way into it, but I loved every second of it. It was fast, exciting, the fans were hot and certainly a good commentary team added to it!
So how the hell did Styles end up in the job? I bet he's receiving huge criticism from his old ECW partners?

Yeah I thought he was building up the crowd but you could really see he was struggling to get into position.
Vader botched virtually all the moves he had to do and was probably only there because he knows Golddust and he was only there because daddy is on the management team.
The end to the Womens match was terrible - Trish did a couple of handstand legs around the head moves but apart from that she just watched everyone else get eliminated.
HHH Flair was easily the best match of the night very brutal.

Let me guess about the psychology, Flair blades first and starts spilling crimson everywhere, HHH not wanting to be outdone also does the blade job and we end up with a nice crimson blood bath.
Otherwise a normal HHH match where he displays all his ring psychology is basically
Punch > punch > punch > chop > chop > kick > running knee to head > sledgehammer shot > pedigree > suppression

That is all.

Ah, i dont usually watch that uness i miss the one on monday.
Thats really stupid to give something away like that.
They never normally advertise cage matches much unless its at a PPV. Then they feel they hhave to promote this one so it can give away the result at Taboo Tuesday!
