Once there's always a PPV which Smackdown represents it, you know that it is going to be a good event, & this one was no surprise.FIRST MATCH- MNM W/ MELINA VS. HARDCORE HOLLY & CHARLIE HAAS FOR THE WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP Hot way to start off the show. This was a pretty good tag team match, although I wish it could off been just a bit better. Also Charlie Haas has improved quite a bit in the ring. MNM nail the Snapshot on Haas for the win & to retain their WWE Tag Team Championship. 5/10SECOND MATCH- CARLITO W/ MATT MORGAN VS. BIG SHOW A bad & boring match, Carlito does not have that much talent in the ring, while Big Show is always a sloppy wrestler. While the referee is down, Matt Morgan unbelievably picks up the Big Show & nails an F-5 on him, which makes Carlito get the unbelievable & surprising win against the Big Show. 3/10THIRD MATCH- PAUL London VS. CHAVO GUERRERO FOR THE WWE CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP Another thing I love Smackdown more than Raw is because off the Cruiserweights. This match was pretty good & awesome, with both Cruiserweights showing that they can handle well in the ring. London nails the 450 Splash to defeat Chavo & retain his WWE Cruiserweight Championship. 5/10FOURTH MATCH- BOOKER T VS. KURT ANGLE Another nice, long match, both Angle & Booker T have got great chemistry in the ring together. After almost a 15 minute match, Booker T gets a roll-up on Angle for the prestigious win. After the match, Sharmell comes to celebrate with Booker T, only to get handcuffed to the ropes by Angle. Then Booker T comes & handcuffs Angle to the ropes & beats the hell out of him. Sharmell slaps Angle a few times, then kicks him right in the groin before heading to the back with Booker, leaving Angle humiliated & stuck to the ropes. 5/10FIFTH MATCH- ORLANDO JORDAN VS. HEIDENREICH FOR THE WWE UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP Before the match began, Heidenreich chose a girl from the crowd to be his friend. Slow, sloppy & a bit of a boring match. Orlando Jordan does not have the right material to be a U.S Champion. Orlando Jordan nails a DDT on Heidenriech to win & retain his WWE United States Championship. After the match, Heidenreich & the girl from the crowd march around a bit in the ring. 3/10SIXTH MATCH- EDDIE GUERRERO VS. REY MYSTERIO This has got to be the most personal match ever. It was an okay match, which took a bit long like 15 to 20 minutes. It was still alright, Mysterio & Guerrero just blow the roof off arena's when they wrestle together. Mysterio wins by disqualification, after Mysterio went for a springboard cross body but Guerrero hit him with a chair. After the match, Eddie beat Mysterio up by slamming him repeatedly on the ribs with a chair, making Mysterio having to be taken on a stretcher. 5/10SEVENTH MATCH- JOHN CENA VS. JBL IN AN 'I QUIT' MATCH FOR THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP A very sick, long brutal match this was. Which was really entertaining. This main event has made this PPV to be remembered for almost years to come. Hats off to Cena & JBL putting on a classic Smackdown main event here at Judgment Day. Cena was going to hit JBL with a truck steel pipe, but before he could, JBL uttered the words 'I Quit' making Cena win & retain his WWE Championship. 6/10Pretty good Smackdown PPV, as Smackdown is the greatest show & also better than Raw. Nothing that much wrong with it, as the matches were good, but the US title match & Big Show vs. Carlito were the only least great match on this event, but still a great Smackdown PPV.Overall I'll give it 7/10 & a C+

Wasn't Judgment Day a pleasant surprise? After a disastrous 2004 for Smackdown! only events, JD delivered all it promised and then more.The WWE Tag Team Title match was excellent. I think Mercury and Nitro have great potential. The WWE could do with more hot young tag teams like this at the moment.Booker T and Kurt Angle had an exciting match up. The only thing that spoilt this was the seedy Kurt Angle character that he is having to portray at the moment. I prefer Kurt Angle the gold medal winner to Kurt Angle the rapist.Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio had another blinder, at least Mysterio's mask wasn't proving a distraction in this one. This has the potential to be the feud of the year if they keep putting on in ring performances like this.And on to the main event. After the disastrous and down right embarrassing match at WrestleMania 21 these guys needed to put on one hell of a show to impress me. They did. Sure they used every cheap trick in the book, outside brawling, weapons etc, but they did it well. Cena also did a fabulous juice job. Judgment Day is turning into a right bloody event isn't it after this years and last.Good, solid event. All talent seemed to want to put on a good show. Keep it up Smackdown!.

easily the best smackdown only pay per view of the year..matches may not be in rite order1.

Smackdown delivers with Judgment Day! The PPV was pretty well done!! We open up this show with: 1- Charlie Haas & Hardcore Holly taking on MNM. A new hot duo! This was for the tag team golds. MNM retains with their pretty impressive double team move. Melina hot as always! Charlie Haas, underrated like always!! 7/10 2- Carlito Vs Big Show. A short match but entertaining... after the match, Morgan give Big Show an F-5, this was very impressive!! 6/10 3- Paul London Vs Chavo Guerrero. a very hot 15 min cruiser-weight title match, theses 2 wrestlers show why they should be on every event. Crowd was hot! 8/10 4- Booker T. Vs Kurt Angle, another very good match with a hot crowd. The wrestling was there and Angle is very good in his persona!! 9/10 5- Orlando Jordan Vs Heidenreich for the US Gold. Pretty boring match but Heidenreich make me laugh, I actually dig his new gimmick a lot! He's funny, charismatic... OJ is... well... OJ! 2/10 6- Eddie Guerrero Vs Rey Mysterio... despite a DQ finish (but that was hot), the match was really interesting with Chavo trying to interfere! This was pure wrestling!!! 9/10 7- WWE TITLE MATCH!!! John Cena (c) Vs JBL... this was a sick sick match!!! We see tons of blood and some really good bumps!! Theses 2 work pretty well in gimmick match and it was an ''I QUIT MATCH'', a match that have a lot of history in this sport!!!Bottom Line... another underrated PPV by the underrated brand sees as the second class. Everything was good. You have entertaining when it's a bad match like Orlando one and the other matches are really good!! You have to give this PPV a try, don't rant it... Buy the DVD!!
