5 times smaller WWE PPVs have exceeded expectations

When everyone is at their best, it’s amazing how great a PPV can be

#4 Taboo Tuesday 2004

First interactive WWE PPV, Taboo Tuesday

The booking on this show was pretty much genius, and they made the worst out of a terrible situation. The night before the show, Shawn Michaels had torn his meniscus in his knee. With Michaels not able to compete, many fans were bummed and thought the event could have been a disaster.

Even after his injury and Shawn even pleading with the fans not to vote for him, they did still in fact vote for him to face Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship anyway.

Despite working the match through the legit injury, which he pulled off pretty well, Shawn actually was about to win the match until Edge interfered and speared Shawn, shouting “it should have been me!”

The fans also voted Shelton Benjamin to face Chris Jericho for the Intercontinental Championship. Which was an interesting pick as many thought Batista was going to get that and they had Randy Orton vs Ric Flair as the main event which helped take the pressure off of Michaels and HHH.

The show was ultimately a gamble to have people voting for matches online but thankfully the gamble did pay off.
