...but why would they rig it to make Sin Cara look less popular? Seems weird to me. I agree. I find it really really hard to believe they'd do that. It just seems to me that if they wanted a heel to squash Bourne they would have just went with another heel instead of Cara.

...it wasn't rigged. Do people REALLY believe WWE would have baited people with Sin Cara, their new star-signing, Triple H's favourite Mexican, a high-flyer that would have had a great match with Bourne and switched with Mason Ryan? God no, that's why Sin Cara was an option, because nobody gives a about Mason Ryan and Swagger/Bourne would have been boring. WWE just got trolled last night.

I don't think it was rigged. I think people just voted for the pooptiest stipulations.

For those of you thinking that all of WWE's previous events like this were rigged, you're wrong.
Several former writers that have spoken with Dave Lagana have in fact confirmed that during the Taboo Tuesday days, Vince McMahon was adamant about the results being 100% legitimate. He refused to let creative, or anyone else for that matter, swing the tally in one way or another.
Could his feelings have changed since then? Of course, especially given the weird results last night. However, I wouldn't be surprised if they were all legitimate.
As someone said, why would they make Sin Cara seem less popular? They've been protecting him to the max.

The results were all weird as well as some choices which has been talked about on here thus far. (Ex. No DQ for triple threat)... WHUT IN DA HAIL?! Where's Jericho when we need him to point out the obvious for all the "smarks", while doing so on live TV? lol. There's no doubt about Taboo Tuesday.. I miss those. But a lot if the choices were just types of matches that wouldn't change the booked match entirely. (A. Steel Cage.- B. No Dq.- C. Submission) lol.

Lots of weird outcomes last night. The Mason Ryan thing stands out as something that made absolutely no sense to me. Even if you did have some people trolling, that was a huge number of people who voted in favor of Ryan, who WWE has made no secret about wanting to push as the next Batista. Just seems strange.
The arm wrestling contest was another thing that made me go really? Really?
I actually voted for the 2 out of 3 falls for Ziggler and Kofi.
Here is the thing, if WWEs target demo is 8 to 12 year old boys (just as an example) then WWE is assuming that 90% of that audience a) has access to a cell phone and b) has unlimited texting so that they can vote throughout the night. What they didn't consider was that a) the 18-35 mostly all have cell phones and b) are not going to vote for what WWE wants. Why not just let people vote on WWE.com? This is all of course assuming that it wasn't pre-determined and that WWE got owned by the voting, which I'm not really sure is the case.
I know Dave Lagana has talked about having a clear cut plan for each scenario, regardless of which scenario was voted on or whatever so that makes me believe that at one point it was definitely legit but I don't if it's still the same. Again, last night was strange but I guess I can see how it happened.

Thats a normal match!

If it wasn't rigged, then I can't believe more people voted for that idiot Kelly Kelly than Beth Phoenix.
Plus the fact that Kelly Kelly actually won, really leads me to believe it was really rigged. I'm telling you, this whole thing was just a setup by the WWE to get people's phone numbers. Am I really the only one that sees this?

It's been stated numerous times before that Vince wants it 100% legitimate , and not every fan is apart of the ing IWC who likes Beth Phoenix so much, so they voted for kelly kelly because shes likable and she's been in the maxim hot 100 and she's been doing alot of promotional stuff for WWE so WWE decided to give her the belt.

I don't think this was rigged, nor do I think any other fan votes in the past were. Every option they ever give is safe, nothing extreme like a Hell in a Cell match for example, and most of the time there's an obvious winning option that everybody goes for (NO DQ or regular match, what's gonna be picked?). I think the original Taboo Tuesday was the best, but it's been dumbing down since then.

Some of you suggested it was rigged? Really? Whatever gave you that idea lol... The show is scripted right down to this "voting". The worst part is they have "power to the people" this week then follow it next with Raw Roulette. Hmm seems like another week of pre determined outcomes...

It seemed to me the match was very awkward which suggests Bourne didn't expect to face Ryan. The votes where odd all night. I can't see why WWE would not vote in Sin Cara themselves if it was rigged as it now makes Cara look unpopular and insignificant compared to Ryan.

Well what's so likable about her? She's just another plastic ditzy blond with zero wrestling ability and even less charisma. And I don't trust Vince's word, just like I don't trust any multimillionaire business executive, and if you do, then you're naive.

It's always been blatantly obvious that the RAW roulette is rigged and if the voting last night wasn't rigged, then majority of people that voted are idiots.

Dude if you say I'm naive you are the one who is naive you think WWE is going to give the belt to someone just because they can wrestle. And Vince isn't the only one who's stated that it isn't isn't rigged so have the wrestlers and writers .
