Once the WWE product began a slow decline in the post-Invasion dregs of 2002, fans became more outspoken and critical of the company they'd held dear during the Attitude Era highs. By 2003, armchair bookers were second-guessing many of the decisions of Vince McMahon and his top lieutenants. In theory, putting together a pay-per-view where the fans got to vote on the matches seemed to be a great (if superficial) way to empower the vocals. Problem is, they didn't go all the way with it. Lame voting choices like, "Which gimmick should Mick Foley portray?" and "What perverted outfits should the Divas wear in a battle royal?" weren't exactly inspiring. It may not have been a show that should've been taken seriously, but it's also not one worth plunking down fifty bucks for, either.
