Fans voted on the chaos. WWE delivered the cage.
Taboo Tuesday (2004) was a PPV presented by AT&T which took place on October 19, 2004 at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was the first annual Taboo Tuesday event, marking the first time in which the fans were given the chance to vote on stipulations for the matches. The voting for the event started on October 18, 2004 and ended during the event. The event starred wrestlers from the Raw brand. The main event was a Steel cage match, which is fought in a cage with four sheets of mesh metal around, in, or against the edges of the wrestling ring, in which Randy Orton competed against Ric Flair. Two bouts were featured on the undercard. In respective singles matches, World Heavyweight Champion Triple H defended against challenger Shawn Michaels and Gene Snitsky fought Kane in a Weapon of Choice match.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was WWE's first interactive PPV, predating Twitter polls by years. Fans literally changed match rules via phone and WWE.com.
The 'Choose the Superstar's Fate' concept was peak Attitude Era hangover — democracy as spectacle, before every brand mined fan engagement.
