leaving Triple H looking the strongest going into Taboo Tuesday.  But it's
all down to where the fans vote.



Card rating: *** 1/4


Match observations: 

Taboo Tuesday is less than 24 hours away, and only the votes of the fans can
determine what we see.  Triple H knows that his position is stronger than ever,
after making an exhausted Christian submit to a powerful sleeper hold.  Will
Helmsley take advantage, and take his guaranteed title shot after the match,
should he end up not being voted in for the Pay Per View, or will he bide his
time.  Or, will he get the vote, and go up against Benoit tomorrow night?  Only
you can decide.  And of course, let's not overlook Batista, as he is clearly
interested in getting the top spot.

Randy Orton could be in for a very special night as well, when he takes on The
Rock, Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart or Vince McMahon.  Again, it's all down to the fans
which legend will step into the ring with the Legend Killer.

The actions of Rey Mysterio and Billy Kidman tonight may well have cost them
their chance to challenge for the Cruiserweight Title.  With Stone Cold injured
and on the shelf, no doubt the people will look elsewhere for their challenger.

They may have changed their tune on another man who lost his belt in a rather
controversial fashion, as Cactus Jack received a number of cheers tonight, but
this may have been down to the fact that his opponent was JBL.  We shall see
what goes down when the votes are all in tomorrow.

Of course, the very shape of WWE could change tomorrow, with relation to the
match between Terry Funk and Shane McMahon.  The chosen stipulation will give
one commissioner a whole lot more power, perhaps even complete power!  It's
all in the hands of those that pay their wages.

Let's not forget the tag title match, as two unlucky superstars will face the
Undertaker and Kane, while Val Venis and Edge will clash in what is sure to be
a brutal feud ender.  It all goes down at Taboo Tuesday, tomorrow night.
