10 Times WWE Introduced Something Cool (Then Panicked And Took It Away)
10. Fan Voted Stipulations/Outcomes
You'd think that in the social media heavy environment we currently inhabit in 2020, Vince McMahon would be all too happy to lean into the interactive worlds of Twitter and Facebook on a more regular basis.
Well, long before every man, woman, child or pet had an account to hurl abuse at their spandex wearing heroes, WWE had the brainwave to allow their loyal following to have control over what would be taking place at 2004's inaugural Taboo Tuesday - via polls on their website.
The voting began the night before the event and various stars/match types were brought into the fray depending on which wrestler/stipulation garnered the highest support from fans at home.
It was genuinely quite exciting to think that the audience had full control over who would be given the opportunity to fight for a world title or what style of brutality their favourites would have to suffer through.
However, after another Taboo Tuesday and a few Cyber Sunday PPV's, WWE seemed to lose a fair bit of interest in the notion and - aside from the odd Raw poll - they veered away from handing the decision making over to the watching faithful.
There's been no real reason revealed as to why McMahon has still consistently produced online polls on WWE's Twitter and website, without re-opening the door for some crowd chosen outcomes on any of his current weekly wrestling shows. So, hopefully this rash decision to hold back on this intriguing concept will be overruled soon enough.
