Taboo Tuesday (2004)

Taboo Tuesday took place on October 19, 2004 at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This night was especially innovative and historic as this event was the first ever event in WWE history where the fans voted online to decide matches, stipulations, and even what kind of clothing the divas wore. This event changed superstars' lives forever as the fans chose superstars who won and lost championship matches and determined the fate of RAW General Manager Eric Bischoff.
