It appears that WWE could be bringing back an old PPV (pay-per-view) concept back.

The company registered for “Taboo Tuesday” with the United States Patent and Trademark Office on July 24th. This is certainly interesting, to say the least. It’s possible that they bring back the concept, which was a good idea.

However, the days of WWE holding a PPV event on a Tuesday night is over due to the company airing SmackDown Live on the USA Network. Although, they could use it as a gimmick on SmackDown Live.

Now, for a history lesson, The last Taboo Tuesday event was held 12 years ago and then it was changed into Cyber Sunday. Taboo Tuesday was an annual pay-per-view event produced from 2004 to 2005 and was exclusive to the Raw brand.

These events were the first regularly-scheduled pay-per-view held by the company on a Tuesday since 1991's This Tuesday in Texas. Also, Taboo Tuesday was the first regularly-scheduled non-Sunday pay-per-view since the 1994 Survivor Series and the first non-Sunday pay-per-view of any kind since In Your House 8: Beware of Dog 2 in 1996.

The first event was held in October, and the 2005 event was pushed back to early November. In 2004, the event was headlined by Randy Orton vs. Ric Flair in a Steel Cage match, and the 2005 show was headlined by a Triple Threat match that saw John Cena take on Kurt Angle and Shawn Michaels for the WWE Championship.

By 2006 the show was moved to a more traditional Sunday night slot. The reason for this is due to it alleviating problems with the taping schedule of SmackDown, which has been historically held on Tuesdays. This led to the event being renamed Cyber Sunday.

The most distinctive feature of these events was the ability for fans to vote on certain aspects of every match. The voting typically began in the middle of an episode of Raw a few weeks beforehand and ended during the pay-per-view.

Most of the time just moments before the match was slated to begin. Because of this, Cyber Sunday was billed as an "interactive pay-per-view.” It was certainly a good idea as it engaged the WWE Universe.

Voting was made online through WWE.com with the official tag line for the PPV being "Log On. Take Over.” However, in 2008 his was replaced by votes through text messaging, but this was only available to United States mobile carriers.

Even though the concept lasted for a few years, WWE decided to make a change in 2009 with the event being replaced by Bragging Rights. It should be noted that the fan interaction aspects of the pay-per-view have since been incorporated into Raw as WWEActive (originally RawActive) for most Raw episodes.
