Created by lack of destiny… bonded by lack of belief… depressed by the Warrior DVD. But enough about that. You don’t want to read my thoughts on the Self-Destruction, you want to read my thoughts on other stuff. But since I don’t have much to talk about, I’ll just drop off some predictions for tomorrow’s WWE pay-per-view offering. Usually, WWE offers a pretty good 1st PPV of the year with a solid card topped off with a great modified battle royale. Unfortunately, the first pay-per-view of the year 2006 is NOT the Royal Rumble.

Instead, the first PPV of 2006 is New Year’s Revolution, a RAW-exclusive show that started off last year. Now NYR 2005 wasn’t a great show by any means; it was fairly boring, nothing of note happened, and above all else, wasn’t all that entertaining. So with such a bad debut show, NYR 2006 looks to outdo the first show with some matches of potentially better quality, but nothing particular special.

So for those who don’t know how I do these things, it’s real simple. I predict a potential winner and other little snafus. After the event, I grade my predictions against the actual matches. Nothing special happens if I get it all right or all wrong. It’s just my thoughts and stuff. So enough of this stuff, let’s get on with it.

(And just so you’d know, I’m keeping track of PPV results via live reports that are updated as the show progresses).

So yeah, there’s a WWE PPV coming up and once again, it means I’ll be laying down some match predictions to the approval of no one. (As well as the bone-crushing results that follow).

(Update: Hey, kids. No results for this one. This PPV made me sad and felt like a waste of time. No sense in wasting more time on this pile of shit. Sorry.)

Okay, so tomorrow is the big WWE Taboo Tuesday pay-per-view, where fans can manipulate matches by voting. Sounds crooked to me. For those of you who have no godly idea what I’m talking about, allow me to offer some history behind this relatively new concept.

Last year, WWE had attempted a rather unique Pay-Per-View experiment… no, not the Tuesday PPV – THAT experiment had been done many years ago featuring a paltry rematch between Undertaker and Hulk Hogan. I’m talking about the interactive aspect of a show where fans have some control over what goes on in the match, either by choosing stipulations or choosing challengers to championships. Last year’s show seemed to be enough of a success that they’re trying it again this year. Now, to reiterate what I had said in the Taboo Tuesday 2004 ramblings, this wasn’t the greatest PPV I had seen, but it was something different and unique that broke the monotony of PPVs, all which seemed to booked in the same way.

Others might feel differently, but I thought that the Taboo Tuesday concept was a novel idea and shows that WWE are willing to take chances and try something different when they feel like it. Earlier this year, WWE suspended one of their regular PPVs and replaced it with an ECW one, a show that I can say was pretty entertaining. Not because the wrestling was any good, mind you, but mostly because it was a different offering from what we are commonly used to seeing from McWrestling.

Here we are: Taboo Tuesday 2005 is coming up in a few days and once again, we are given the power to vote. Now since I have night courses at school this year, I obviously won’t be able to update regularly on the blog. Instead, this’ll be a regular prediction sheet… I’ll put down what I’ve voted for, what I think would get the vote, and of course, who wins the frickin’ matches. So without further adieu, let’s get this thing done, shall we?
