WWE Taboo Tuesday Press Release Reveals Interesting Info On Voting, & 9/27 Press Conference
WWE issued the following press release this morning regarding the upcoming Taboo Tuesday PPV. The article reveals some interesting tidbits on the voting, as well as what was NOT mentioned.
I am not surprised, but WWE did not mention any outside source of calculating the votes, as well as mentioning anything to assure wrestling fans the voting will be legitimate.
Especially since the "voting" will start the night before the PPV. There is no way WWE will prepare that many alternate scripts and plans for stipulations in such a short amount of time. The only way I can see them pulling this off is if the number of choices (such as wrestlers' opponents) are very limited in number. If you recall, I mentioned that WWE probably feels most comfortable doing something like this with Triple H, since he has faced everyone in WWE that would be on that list, and quite a few times as well.
I hope someone asks the question about the voting process during the press conference Monday. Because as of now based on fans' email and messages we receive, the overwhelming majority believes the voting results will not be authentic.
Here's the press release:
