The Traditional WWE World Tag Team Championship
The WWE World Tag Team Championship was random.
When it was named Taboo Tuesday Eric Bischoff (who was the RAW GM @ the time) announced that there would be 3 men, whoever had the most votes would get a shot @ the World Heavyweight Championship in 2004 and against John Cena & Kurt Angle for the WWE Heavyweight Championship.
However, the 2 runners-up would then team up to compete for the WWE World Tag Team Championship.
In 2004, Chris Benoit & Edge teamed up against the team that took the World Tag Team Titles from them back on Memorial Day of 2004, Le Resistance (Sylvain Grenier & Rob Conway).
In 2005, Kane & The Big Show teamed up against the team of Cade & Murdoch for the World Tag Team Titles as well.
and also, HBK Shawn Michaels competed for both the World Heavyweight Championship against his friend Triple H and the following year he competed against John Cena and Kurt Angle for the traditional WWE Heavyweight Championship.
and in 2006, when it was renamed Cyber Sunday the World Tag Team Titles were once again on the line.
It was The Spirit Squad against Ric Flair and a mystery partner, and the fans voted Rowdy Roddy Piper over Sgt. Slaughter and Dusty Rhodes.
and now, here are the results:
Taboo Tuesday 2004:
The reign is over.
Nearly five months after capturing the World Tag Team Championship, La Resistance lost to the very team they beat for the championship back on May 31.
Since Shawn Michaels was selected by the fans to take on Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship, Edge and Chris Benoit had to settle for facing La Resistance.
But the consolation prize didn't go over too well with Edge, who brooded over the fans? choice all night and ultimately walked out on the match and actually jumped in his car outside the arena, leaving Benoit to fend for himself.
But the Rabid Wolverine mounted a fierce comeback, eventually applying the Crippler Crossface on Rob Conway, who tapped out after he couldn't get to the ropes.
