Judgement Day to me seem to be a pretty long regular nightly show. It did not seem to have any excitement or enthusiam like it should have. At first when Jeff hardy came out he didn't even seem all go ho about wrestling......
I feel for us viewers to pay for this entertainment, we should get entertainment, what happened to all the cage matches, extreme matches, lumberjack matches, rumble matches, etc....is our wrestlers starting to lose their enthusiam also?
Results: Umaga d. CM Punk (very disappointed)
Match was pretty good just not a good way to start the show.
Morrison d. Benjamin Shelton (?)
I really don't care for these two but it was a very good match with alot of action and determination on both parts. Charlie Haas tried to intervene but i feel that made Morrison more angry and defeated Shelton to where Morrison got Shelton with the corkscrew.
Christian d. Swagger (yea)
Both cheated but ref didn't see Christian pulling on the pants..haha
Cena d. Big Show (YEA)
Cena i didn't know how he was going to do it because Big Show was dominent most of the match. I really was starting to doubt but Cena won with the body slam.
Batista d. Orton (Good JOB)
At first they weren't fighting like normal but as the match progressed both were getting angry and Orton ended up smacking the ref getting disqualified then of course Legacy came out and ganged up on Batista, then out of nowhere here comes WWWHHOHOOOOO......Ric Flair to help Batista. I was surprised Ric Flair came out and was thinking it would be HBK or Triple H or Shane McMahon.
Edge d. Jeff Hardy (BBBOOO HOOO)
Of course, all of you that read my messages or discussions know I am a big Hardy fan. This match was really boring at first, then they started doing their stunts and awesome moves. Just too bad Matt had to come out and knock Jeff upside the head with the cast (that now, he supposedly doesnt need) and that hit really took a toll on Jeff and of course the opportunist Edge took advantage of it.
What did you all feel about this Pay per view?

I personnally think having the hometown boy CM Punk come out for his match first was a good way to get the crowd going, and quite frankly this match alone got the crowd excited and alive during the whole pay-per-view, although I will admit having him job to Umaga was not a good way of exposing him, and quite frankly, with the way things are going, I can only see him trying to cash in his MITB shot only to lose it and turn heel. As for Flair coming back, unless it's in a managerial role for Legacy(heel turn coming!), I don't want him back in there.
Last thing, about Jeff Hardy, the only reason he is losing most of his matches these days is because his contract is set to expire soon, and unless he signs another contract, you'll see plenty more of this in the coming weeks.

Yes, I know they are not sure of Jeff's contract at this point, but they could atleast have him win something. I know he wants to cut his travels down but he can still win and do big PPV matches.
CM Punk with it being his hometown, I would have really liked to see him win. I don't understand quite Umaga to be the one for him to go against. I could see plenty others with the belts to go against or cash his MITB, I don't really want to see him heel.
I would like to see someone to take apart the Legacy and split them up since they always to things "together" or have DX come together again. I am getting alittle fed up with Orton.

i know there was a lot of talk about jeff hardy not getting a contract extension from wwe but i read that all things have been ironed out and what's only needed is jeff hardy's signature and the contract extension is good to go.
i don't mind seeing jeff hardy lose a couple of his matches. it makes the storyline more believable. i do think that him and matt should get back together as a tag team. wwe needs to push the tag team division with great tag teams since singles competition seems to be lack luster as of the moment. i don't mind seeing the hardy boyz wrestlign again and possibly going against teh team of edge and christian or against legacy. i just think that there is a lot of untapped potential in the tag team division and wwe needs to look into what they can do to to bring back interest in the tag team division.

I wasnt to exited with judgement day maybe I was just tired but it just seemed boring to me.
Punk vs umaga what was the point in having umaga win shouldnt they have punk win sine they are trying to build him to be a champion. And there making the same mistake as they did last year with him so bad decision by the wwe.
Rey vs jericho. This was a good match but I did expect it to be better off course I was exausted during this match and wanted to go to sleep. But it was great to see the inter continental championship on ppv for once since they hardly defend it on ppv.
Swagger vs christian was a pretty good match for the ecw championship these 2 wrestlers have good chemistry with eachother and it shows it in the ring. I found it intresting how christian cheated to win wounder if that will lead to anything big wich I doubt it.
Big show vs cena boring and what was the point of having cena win that was just stupid as hell. Isnt he supposed to be hurt yet he could lift a 500 lb giant yeah very realistic
Hardy vs edge I liked this match was shocked to see matt come and knock jeff out guess the feud isnt over. And im glad that edge won would of sucked for him to loose it again.
orton vs batista. Well this match sucked big time only really good thing about this match was seeing flair at the end wich was a great surperise he was the last one I expected to see come out thought it would of been HHH to help out batista at the end of the match.

Yes, I was disappointed that Punk didn't win and thought maybe if he would, he would trade in the MIB tonight....guess not.
Swagger cheated also and i am sure Swagger will cry about Christian cheating, wonder just how long this fued will go on since nothing else is happening in ECW right now.
Cena and Big Show was a very boring and not really enthused about watching match. It could have been much better and of course, that was exactly the same day he was released to fight...would have thought he would worked out alittle before first. hmmm
Orton, yes, I definitely thought it would be Triple H also. That was a surprise to us all i feel.
Hardy.....who knows how long this fued of the brothers will continue since Matt is just jealous as H3** but they have been in this company for 15-16 years...somethings got to give. I feel they also done this because they don't know about the contract deal ither.

They have to cater to all audiences that's why some PPV are real crap and others are good. One of the problems is that some of the more charismatic wrestlers are out at the moment like The Undertaker, Sean Michaels and Triple H.
As for Umaga he is a joke. He has a babyface and no amount of attitude and face paint will ever make him look intimidating and on the theme of his babyface his finishing move is to attack ppl with his bandaged 'sucking' thumb.
They are also overplaying Randy Orton and all this over-evil stuff is pathetic, quite honestly I don't even know why Cody Rhodes and Ted DeBiase stay with him. Some ppl make good bad guys whilst Orton is just an over egostitical pratt.

I haven't been keeping up with the WWE for a while. When did Christian go back to the WWE? I thought he was doing pretty well in TNA. I guess Vince was willing to give him more money to be the ECW champ was more than TNA was willing to give him to be one of the top guys over there. I thought that Vince made a big mistake in letting Christian go in the first place and I hope that now that he's back that Vince won't keep holding him down. I mean I hope that Christian's ceiling isn't as ECW champ.

Christian's only been back i would say a few months. He and Swagger have it been for each other but i hear rumors as christian doing a tag team sometime. I really enjoy him on ECW and hope he plans to stay for alittle while.

Sadly, Vince still sees Christian as nothing more than a mid card talent, and thanks to the internet smarts, the storyline that should have been never was, because initially it was suppose to be Christian as Jeff Hardy's attacker, to reunite in some the duo of Edge and Christian, but because it leaked on the internet, Vince got mad and scrapped Christian from the angle. And sadly, I think at best Christian will lose the ECW championship, and go to Smackdown to rejoin Edge at some point, but he'll never be anything more in WWE than mid-card.
