Judgment Day 2008

1. John Cena defeated JBL by pinfall

This was actually slightly more entertaining than I remember. I still love their match from Judgment Day three years back, but this was not even close to that one. Nothing horrible, but definitely not their best work either.

Rating: 2.25 (out of 5)

2. The Miz and John Morrison defeated Kane and CM Punk by pinfall

This was on the short side, but fun for the time given. I love the team of Miz + Morrison and of course CM Punk is another favorite of mine. It needed about 5 minutes more because the ending came out of nowhere.

Rating: 2.5 (out of 5)

3. Shawn Michaels defeated Chris Jericho by pinfall

***Match Of The Night***

This was an awesome match courtesy of my two favorite performers of all time. I loved all of the reversals and the spot where Jericho hit the Code Breaker was phenomenal. While this wasn't as good as WrestleMania XIX, it is most definitely one of the best matches of the year thus far.

Rating: 4 (out of 5)

4. Mickie James defeated Melina and Beth Phoenix by pinfall

This was a solid women's match that really showcased the talents of Mickie James. All three women worked hard and delivered a solid match.

Rating: 2.25 (out of 5)

5. Undertaker defeated Edge by countout

No one likes to see a countout finish, especially a weak one like this one. This was definitely the worst match of their series, but still a good match.

Rating: 3.25

6. Jeff Hardy defeated MVP by pinfall

I don't really agree with Hardy winning so cleanly. MVP seems to never win and I think it has hurt him with the fans. It was nice to see him get the win over Hardy recently at SummerSlam.

Rating: 2.5

7. Triple H defeated Randy Orton by pinfall

This was a good, old-fashioned cage match. It lacked the blood, but the pacing and storytelling was good. It was lacking that special something from making it a classic, but still a good main event.

Rating: 3.5

Apparently, I seem to like this show more than most. It is probably due to the fact that I loved the Michaels/Jericho matchup and found everything else to range from solid to good. The crowd was flat, but the wrestling was entertaining throughout the night.
