I was in attendance of Taboo Tuesday 2004. I was eleven years old and it was my first pay per view I was ever in attendance for. I was so excited to be there that I hadn’t noticed the poor attendance and only just found it was the worst attended WWE PPV. I still have great memories of seeing Shelton Benjamin beating Jericho and the steel cage match between Flair and Orton. Kinda cool and eye opening to know how lucky I was to be there.

Shawn vs. Undertaker ending in a No Contest at Ground Zero actually WAS a good thing as the result in storyline is what led to the need for the Hell in a Cell stipulation. It's also one of the best brawls of the time too, while Bret vs. Patriot was a decent outing too.

Taboo Tuesday 05 actually has 2 great matches, Cena, Angle & Michaels on the ME and Flair vs HHH in one of the best cage matches out there

@andrewoid84 Год назад

To be fair, IYH Ground Zero and Rage in the Cage were both at the Louisville Gardens which at full capacity could only hold 6,000 people. With the stage setup and everything it was less than that. At 5,500 Rage in the Cage was probably a sell out and Ground Zero wasn't too far off. It was pretty common during that time frame for WWE to run smaller buildings like that, so some of the other IYH events probably were at or near capacity for the building.

I can understand why In Your House 8: Beware of Dog/Beware of Dog 2 was not included since it was split into two shows after a thunderstorm caused a power outage at the Florence Civic Center in Florence, SC.

@frenchfrey65 Год назад

To be fair with In Your House Ground Zero, it was held at the Louisville Gardens, a small arena that I"m not even sure is open anymore, it has only 6k seats to begin with and when you factor in entrance ways taking up seats, getting almost 5k people to the show is still good percentage wise. Could they have held it at a bigger venue in Louisville? Sure, Freedom Hall was open, as was Broadbent Arena but that one is just over 6.6k cap as well. it would also be the last show WWE would hold there until July of 1999 (although I think that maybe a mistake given the attendance was listed at 14k, the arena like I said fits only 6k). It was mainly used by WWE's old developmental show, OVW as the PPV venue. Why WWE would hold a ppv there to this day is still rather odd and questionable.

Wow. My city shows up twice on a tens list lol. They ran the smaller venue though, so I assume WWF intended to run smaller. I didn’t go to either unfortunately, would have loved to. My uncle was at at least one though, probably both honestly. And one was where Nash made his mind up to jump to WCW. It’s cool to learn the significant behind the scenes moments that happened in various locations. WWF were on fire after the 2nd one so they began running our larger arena. And since an even larger one was built that they now run, and tarp off half the seating. Funny how that works. Packed mid size arenas to half empty large ones lol.

"You needed a small nuclear power station to even run the internet in 2005"? This is like suggesting that you had to have a small nuclear power plant at home to play video games in 1995. Back in 1995 the internet was primitive and uncommon, yet by 2000 a live web poll was pretty easy. In 2005 we had plenty of internet, at least in the US where dialup was already close to dead for households. Mobile internet was still rare, but that had nothing to do with anything. Taboo Tuesday had problems, but not because people couldn't use the internet.

You'd think they'd give up on holding PPV's (already, "premium live events") on a Tuesday. The company found out as early as 1991 that scheduling a PPV on Tuesday's didn't work when this Tuesday in Texas a) drew only 8000 people (would almost have made this list), and b) had a buy rate of 140,000 (compared to 'mania's 400,000). Of course, the fact that less than half the card was aired, and most of the matches that were shown were very low level didn't help matters any. But if there's one thing you can say about Vince is that he refuses to learn from history and will keep making the same mistakes over and over again. For as much as he has done for the industry, the day he is either forced out of the company, one way or the other, will be a good day for the company.
