The Good: Coming a couple of weeks after No Mercy was Taboo Tuesday, WWE's second crack at the interactive PPV format. Overall, it must be said that this was a better effort than 2004's version. The show kicked off with a surprisingly entertaining tag match between Raw's Chris Masters and Snitsky and Smackdown's Matt Hardy and Rey Mysterio. WWE really wanted JBL to get the nod for the Smackdown crew but, unfortunately for them, voting was legit and fans spoke with their votes. They wanted Hardy. After a glut of poor or worthless matches came Triple H and Ric Flair's Intercontinental Championship steel cage match, which was all sorts of 1980s style NWA awesomeness. Flair rolled back the years and The Game must have been loving working this match with his idol and mentor. The Cena/Michaels/Angle main event was good but, come on, Cena was clearly out of his league here and everyone knew it. Cena overcame the odds and won, which would become a recurring theme over the next decade. The Bad: The feeble pop that Mick Foley (as Mankind) got was depressing to witness. It was almost as if his Backlash 2004 war with Randy Orton hadn't happened and the fans were watching Al Snow or Test (the butt of Mick's jokes) in there. Vader's performance in the handicap match against Batista was a complete shambles. The Rest: Steve Austin was supposed to square off against Jonathan Coachman on the show but he walked when WWE made it known that they wanted Stone Cold to do the J-O-B to the former announcer. Also supposed to be on the show was Edge, but he suffered a legitimate partial pectoral tear and was replaced by Snitsky.
