Customer Reviews

GOOD EVENT
his came as a good surprise for me, I mean so many people have commented this being a bad event, but it was really good.

As the show began, Stone Cold Steve Austin came out & said that he would be on the top of the fans watching the show from his Skybox. He then gives Tazz a beer then leaves off through the crowd as the show begins.

FIRST MATCH- JOHN CENA & F.B.I {JOHNNY STAMBOOLI & CHUCK PALUMBO W/ NUNZIO} VS. CHRIS BENOIT, RHYNO & SPANKY {BRIAN KENDRICK} IN A 6-MAN TAG TEAM MATCH Before the match, Cena makes a very good rap about himself & the F.B.I. Even though this match was only 4 minutes, it was fast-paced & contained great wrestling from all 6 competitors. After a double-team by F.B.I, Spanky gets pinned as John Cena & the F.B.I have won this match. 5/10

SECOND MATCH- LA RESISITANCE {SYLVAN GRENIER & RENE DUPREE} VS. SCOTT STEINER & TEST W/ STACY KEIBLER Surprisingly this was an okay tag team match, which came as a surprise to me as Test & Scott Steiner are real bad wrestlers. Test accidentally hits Steiner with the Big Boot, which leads to La Resistance nailing their double-team move for the victory in their first PPV appearance. 5/10

THIRD MATCH- EDDIE GUERRERO & TAJIRI VS. WORLD'S GREATEST TAG TEAM {SHELTON BENJAMIN & CHARLIE HAAS} IN A TAG TEAM LADDER MATCH FOR THE WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP Tajiri was taking up Chavo's spot as he was injured. The best match so far, & easily the match of the night. While Eddie is climbing up the ladder, Benjamin tries to intervene, but Tajiri nails him with the Green Mist as Eddie Guerrero grabs the belt to become the WWE Tag Team Champion with Tajiri. 6/10

FOURTH MATCH- SABLE VS. TORRIE Wilson IN A BIKINI CONTEST SPECIAL GUEST: TAZZ I had to fast forward this one because it was a bit to roud as my sister was watching. Great hot bikinis, but a waste of time in my opinion, Torrie is hot. Torrie wins then gives Sable a kiss on the lips, then leaves. 3/10

FIFTH MATCH- OVER THE TOP ROPE BATTLE ROYAL FOR THE VACANT WWE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP Superstars in this match is Booker T, Kane, Goldust, Chris Jericho, Christian, Rob Van Dam, Test, Val Venis & Lance Storm. I like battle royals, & this one was really good & entertaining. Booker T eliminates Christian, but the referee was down, so Christian enters the ring, nails Booker T with the IC title, the throws Booker T out of the ring as the referee sees it & Christian is the new WWE Intercontinental Champion. 5/10

SIXTH MATCH- MR. America W/ ZACH GOWEN VS. ROWDY RODDY PIPER W/ SEAN 'O' HAIRE Before the match, Mr. America introduces Zach Gowen to watch his match from ringside. Very boring match, it takes some interference from Sean 'O' Haire to try & build the pace of the match a bit. Sean 'O' Haire accidentally nails Roddy Piper with a steel pipe, which leads Mr. America to a leg drop for the win, while Zach Gowen stops Mr. McMahon from interfering. 3/10

SEVENTH MATCH- TRIPLE H W/ RIC FLAIR VS. KEVIN NASH W/ SHAWN MICHAELS FOR THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP Before the match, Michaels & Flair brawled all the way to the back, leaving Nash & HHH to fight in the ring one on one. I was expecting more from this match because it was for the World title, but it was more of a brawl rather than a wrestling match. HHH hits the referee with a sledgehammer, making him disqualified. After the match, Nash goes berserk & Jacknife Powerbombs HHH through the Raw announce table. 3/10

EIGHT MATCH- JAZZ W/ THEODORE LONG VS. VICTORIA W/ STEVEN RICHARDS VS. JACQUELINE VS. TRISH STRATUS Another boring match with Divas in it. It's like watching two single Diva matches. Jazz wins after a DDT on Jacqueline for the win & to retain her WWE Women's Championship. 3/10

NINTH MATCH- BROCK LESNAR VS. BIG SHOW IN A STRETCHER MATCH FOR THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP Great & acceptable main event as Brock Lesnar topples down the Big Show in this grueling fight. The real highlights off the match is when Brock Lesnar drives a forklift through the arena, & Rey Mysterio interfering during the match. Brock Lesnar nails an F-5 on Big Show then puts him on a stretcher high in the air with a forklift past a yellow line to win & retain his WWE Championship. 5/10

A very good event, with most of the matches being excellent, while others being let downs. But still a very good event as Raw & Smackdown prove that combined they produce good events.

Judgement time for Judgment Day.
This event was a Joke and no Undertaker.

Cena, FBI vs Benoit, Spanky and Rhyno.
2/10
What a waste of talent.

Steiner, Test vs La Resistance
If I rate this then I would feel like I was giving it credit.

Ladder Match
Eddie, Tajiri vs Team Angle
8/10
Best match of the night and one of the best Ladder matches I've seen in a long time.

Battle Royal for returning Intercontinental title.
4/10
This has the highlight of the event with Jericho's exit. But Battle Royals should determine contenders not Champs.

Bikini Contest.
Torrie in little Material and Sable in little material. Just think about it.

Mr America vs Rowdy Roddy Piper
If I rate this match I will be giving it more than it deserves.

Nash vs HHH
1/10
Thier fight on RAW was better and that was still pointless.

Fatal Four-Way.
Jackie vs Trish vs Jazz vs Victoria
I'm not going to bother.

Stretcher Match.
Lesnar vs Big Show
1/10
This match was a joke. A normal match would have been better.

Disagree with me if you want but don't waste money on this event if I felt that wasted valuable Sleeping time to watch it.

WWE Judgment Day 2003
Hot on the heels of a spectacular Wrestlemania and a star-studded Backlash, Judgment Day 2003 was never going to be an easy pay-per-view to present. With Austin discovering he was no longer able to wrestle, Goldberg out with a short-term injury, Angle in rehab from a neck operation and the Rock on his way back to Hollywood, bookers had little to choose from in the form of main event talent. This pay-per-view was about the WWE making the most of what was available, and I don't think they did so badly.

The opening match was a six-man tag. The FBI vs Benoit, Rhyno and Spanky was a frustrating affair, as the match wasn't given enough time. I can understand match-makers reluctance to give too much time to wrestlers who have spent a lot of time away from the spotlight (Polumbo), or wrestlers who are making their WWE pay-per-view debut (Spanky, Nunzio and Stamboli) however, with a little more faith this match could have been a decent encounter. This match only served to further the FBI's heel persona.

The second match was a fairly dull encounter between La Resistance and Test/Steiner. This match was here to serve a storyline development and accelerate the unhappy alliance of Test and Scott Steiner into a feud, over Stacy Kiebler. Expect what you would normally expect from a Scott Steiner match for this one.

Then comes the ladder match for the WWE Tag Team Titles. The scheduled match is Team Angle vs Los Guererros, but Chavo had sustained an injury, so taking his place is Yoshihiro Tajiri. This is a very good match, complete with corny Mexican promo beforehand. An impressive showing from a still rather inexperienced Team Angle.

Next is the Intercontinental Title Battle Royal, including Val Venis (returning under his old gimmick after being sacked by Eric Bischoff), Kane, Christian, Jericho, Booker T, Van Dam, Goldust and Test. It was a good idea to bring back the Intercontinental Title, and also a good way to get Austin over as Raw co general manager. Good exchanges between Christian, Jericho and Booker, an entertaining match.

A bikini challenge then takes place between Sable and Torrie Wilson, what this is doing on a wrestling pay-per-view I'm not sure. This was mildly entertaining none the less, for Tazz's and Lawler's reaction.

Then comes the World Heavyweight Championship match, Triple H vs Kevin Nash. A better match than most expected, but still not an amazing match, with a predictable ending. It does however, make a good build-up to their hell in a cell match at the consecutive pay-per-view, Raw's Bad Blood. Kevin Nash is considered by many to be past his prime, and you can gather this from the crowd reaction to the supposed baby face.

The four-way Women's Title match is next, and is a good encounter. Women's wrestling has come a long way in the past two to three years, and this match is a prime example.

The Main Event is the Stretcher Match between the Big Show and Brock Lesnar. And a very enertaining one it is. Even though we have seen these two go at it numerous times before this, Brock Lesnar shows us why he is considered the Main Event talent he is by working a great match with the Big Show. There are some great moments in this no disqualification match, Lesnar carrying Show with a forklift is an amazing sight.

Overall, not a bad effort from WWE, especially when considering they use upper mid-carders sparingly in the tag match at the start (Benoit) and in the Battle Royal (Jericho, Booker). The running feud between Austin and Bichoff makes for great between match entertainment as well.
