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.

Doubt it, Vince tried to bung him a wad of cash to get him to no show a UFC event which he refused to do and he also took the advice of others that Vince is not someone you want to work for, so unless Vince ups his dirty money offer i doubt you'll be seeing him in the WWE
For once the commentry was not something I had to mute.
So what about Mike Goldberg? Is it gonna be Styles and Goldberg?

I think the idea is he did Taboo Tuesday and will do a few RAWs to see how he gets on. Apparently Vince wants rid of Coachman as an announcer and if he does well he'll take over as co announcer on RAW.

Is Style going to be a permanent addition then? Or was it just another on-off dangling of the carrot...please say he'll be the new voice of Raw :-)

I don't think they did but it was on WWE.com. He did look in a lot of pain after the Big Show suplex so maybe they were playing on that.

Did they even really mention the injury on TV? I only ever read about it online. I doubt it was a work.

Well it's China so I expect you can find some rather nice upgrades for next to nothing.

Kane's injury must have been not very serious if he's now the tag team champion. Unless it was a work of course.
