10 Things WWE Need To Bring Back
2. Taboo Tuesday/Cyber Sunday
WWE have been passionate to a fault when it comes to social network interaction and rankings in recent years. We can barely enjoy a match without a ticker tape of tweets rolling underneath the action or a boastful graphic about a certain superstar’s followers. With this obsession with interactivity it is rather perplexing that the concept of Taboo Tuesday/Cyber Sunday has not been revisited.
Fans don’t exactly have fond memories of the recent events with very few matches standing out on the five previous shows, the problem seemingly coming from the very narrow branch of choice the WWE is giving its fans. Mix that with a cynicism and lack of faith in WWE to not tamper with any voting and you have a recipe for apathy.
If WWE were to revive the PPV it would introduce a truly unique concept for a show, perhaps with each brand trading the premise every year. Choices would have to be far more varied with the chance for matches that we would never get to see any other time. This would obviously be hard to balance; no booker or wrestler wants to work on the possibility of countless opponents, but even a choice of stipulation would be a good start.
True choice and true variety could make Cyber Sunday a wild night off from the established order of things and give fans an experience akin to ECW’s One Night Stand 2005 where the fans were at the forefront of everything.
