They just make it obvious who the main choice will be. For instance, take the MVP/Hardy Match. Nobody will vote for a Martial Arts Match, or a Boxing Match over a Wrestling Match. Obviously it's us the fans who are voting for it, but they haven't really given us any different suitable choice to differ with.

The voting is real.
WWE just try and sway our votes by heavily pushing something, or putting it against obviously less popular people/matches.
e.g. Batista vs Coach, it was obviously going to be a Street Fight.

I don't think it's fixed. Last year, had it been fixed, do you think that WWE would have chosen Booker to defend his title and go over then ECW Champion Big Show, and then WWE Champion (and their arguably most favored superstar) John Cena? No, had it been fixed, WWE for sure would've booked Cena to go over while defending his belt to make him look even more credible as WWE Champion.

HBK wouldn't have wrestled at the 2004 one if it was fixed

I think some matches will be fixed, like the WWE title match. I actually believe that Hardy could get the winning vote, but WWE knowing that Orton & HBK have a fued going on and they can easily make Kennedy Vs. Hardy then they would fix the match. I think that matches like M.Hardy Vs. M.V.P. are decided by the vote, because I think a Boxing Match, Mixed Martial Art & Wrestling Match would be fun to see. See my point?

With the stipulation matches I don't think they really care. I mean look at the Rey and Finlay match. All the stipulations to choose from aren't all that different. A stretcher match is pretty damn similar to a no dq match or whatever it was that the other match was. But then you look at the title match with the guest referee. If they really wanted it to be up to the fans they would have mick, austin, and JBL all there every week on smackdown or at least a couple shows to try and sway the votes to them..But its obvious they want JBL to win what with the "Vote for JBL" t-shirts, him doing interviews with Batista and Taker..etc. So yeah I would say just like everything else in the WWE..the voting is 80% fake and 20% real. and on top of that, JBL is the ONLY one hyping the PPV. mick and SCSA have not been on TV once to hype the show |

I believe it is fixed. Why else would they let you "vote as much as you like". There will probably be some 45-50 year old, fat, computer geek, virgin who lives in his parent's basement that will sit there for 2 hours or so voting.
WWE throw in an obvious choice, and split the percentage maybe 70% on one, 21% on the second and 9% on the least obvious choice.

pretty sure its real they just give a main stip or person. I recall reading in shawn michaels book that he was injured and he said to rig it but vince was very much against it I dont know what book you are reading, but there is no mention of Taboo Tuesday anywhere in HBK's book. I dont even know where you would come up w/ that statment because im 100% sure there is no mention of it in his book |

I think they let the fans vote and stuff, but at the last moment they change votes.
For example:
HBK gets 30%
Kennedy gets 20%
Hardy gets 50%
they just change the names to
HBK 50%
Kennedy 20%
Hardy 30%

I also think that they are gonna have Hardy win the votes, so he will do the job, and put Orton over as a believable challenger for HBK.
