Listen up! Class is in session!

This week, I'm cleaning off my spindle, and printing a few of your letters concerning WWE's interactive "Taboo Tuesday" pay-per-view on Oct. 19.

A few weeks back, I forwarded my ideas on what would make up a good show (providing the fans had a real choice to make up the card). You can read that column right here.

Oh, by the way … make sure you read the end of this column to find out my CAN'T MISS prediction for "Taboo Tuesday."

Professor's Choice: The Best Wrestling Web Sites Pro Wrestling Torch Wrestling Observer The Road Warriors Inc. Total Nonstop Action Wrestling World Wrestling Entertainment

OK, now it's your turn. Best of the bunch, regarding "Taboo Tuesday," comes from Dan Johnson. Dan, thanks for writing the column for me. I've gotta lot of yard work to do:

Dear Professor, Here is what I think about the matches for "Taboo Tuesday." First, it will not be truly driven by the fans, as shown by the fact that the candidates for the world title match have already been limited to three choices. If it had been truly interactive, you would have seen a write-in campaign for Stone Cold or someone of that nature.

But if I had my choice, this is what I would see.

World Heavyweight Championship:
HHH comes to the ring not knowing whom his opponent is. The only thing that he knows is that no members of Evolution are allowed at ringside. The lights go down and the ring announcer begins, "And his opponent…" The arena goes dark and a spotlight shoots a beam of light to the rafters, where we see Sting. HHH goes on to lose the belt, moving onto the "Smackdown!" roster to boost the talent there.

Intercontinental Title Match:
Chris Jericho versus Shelton Benjamin. Benjamin needs an IC title run before he will be respected by the fans as a legitimate threat to the heavyweight title. Jericho drops the belt after Shelton gets in a quick athletic counter and catches Jericho off guard, leaving Y2J in the ring arguing with the referee that it was only a two count. No stipulations needed on this match. Tyson Tomko and "Captain Charisma" Christian will interfere, setting up a series of tag matches between the two teams.

Batista vs. Benoit:
A repeat from "RAW" several weeks ago, but this could be a good filler match when the restraints of TV time aren't an issue. Benoit is really the only superstar who can hang with Batista right now. This needs to be a "last man standing" match. This will put Benoit's technical expertise and submission ability at contrast with Batista's pure raw power. Great match!

Orton vs. Flair: Looks crappy on paper but I have to believe that the Nature Boy has one left in him. This fits with the whole "Legend Killer" line. No DQ, no count-out stipulation, which gives Flair the opportunity to have a match like those with Rhodes or Race. He should go out with a bang. Orton is up and coming and there is no disrespect being beaten by Flair. Orton repeatedly tries for the RKO but Flair pulls out all the stops, eventually beating Orton in the middle of the ring with the figure four. He gets a great ovation from the audience, and then goes on to strictly manage Evolution.

That's all I've got.
Thanks,
Dan Johnson

No, thank you, Dan. I totally agree with you on the Flair angle. But I would still like to see him with one more farewell title run. He deserves that respect.

Next up, Dominick Terminie:

Well, I just thought of a match the WWE could use for Taboo Tuesday. I call it "Beat The Bell." On the big screen they indicate what type of match it is, "pinfall" to start. After 60 seconds it changes on the screen to something else: falls count anywhere, no disqualification, hardcore, lumberjack. Anything. What do you think?
Dominick

Dominick, I think it's a winner, and I predict that the WWE geniuses who read this column (and you know you do), will have it in their show before you know it. One thing: Don't wait for that WWE program development paycheck in the mail.

Up next, Steve Strong:

Here's one for you: A handicap match featuring Stephanie McMahon vs. Victoria vs. Gail Kim vs. Me! I'll sign a special one-time contract that will pit me against all three of these lovelies and I'll win with my patented flying lip-lock and take down.

It'd be great!

Great for you, that's about it. Steph McMahon? A bit screeeeeeechy for me, but to each his own. Which brings me to my CAN'T MISS prediction. Carmella, the "talent" who came in second in the recent WWE diva search, WILL expose more skin than is usually allowed on television. The Prof. doesn't endorse this for the kids watching, but it will happen. Look for a clothing malfunction. It would be the taboo thing to do, after all.

As for the actual card, it looks like this:

HHH vs. Shawn Michaels, Chris Benoit or Edge (you presumably decide) for the World Heavyweight Championship.

Randy Orton vs. Ric Flair, with fans deciding the stipulations: submission, steel cage or falls count anywhere.

Chris Jericho vs. anyone in the locker room not involved in a Taboo Tuesday match, for the Intercontinental title.

Kane vs. Snitsky, with fans deciding which weapon will be legal: lead pipe, steel chair or steel chain.

Christy vs. Carmella, where I believe the clothing malfunction will pop up.

Eugene vs. Eric Bischoff, with fans deciding whether the loser has to wear a dress for a month, have his head shaved bald or be forced to become the winner's servant.
