Personally, I think this is better than Backlash.

1) Hardcore Holly and Charlie Haas vs MNM - this exceeded my expectations and turned out to be a very hot opener. Everybody just seemed to be on and the chemistry was great. Charlie's dive over the tope rope was amazing - 8/10

2) Big Show vs Carlito - not much of a match but it did what it needed to do, and thats put Carlito over. The F5 by Morgan after the match was a great, and unexpected spot - 5/10

3) Paul London vs Chavo - I was expecting a **** match here but something doesn't seem to click. Don't get me wrong this is a good match but it had the potential to be much better - 7.5/10

4) Kurt Angle vs Booker T - due to the stupid storyline with this match I wasn't really that bothered, because lets face it when was the last time Booker T had a good/great single match? This actually turned out to be a good match, as you would expect with Angle being involved. I just don't understand why they had Booker T go over in this one, its not like they are going to do anything with him - 8/10

5) Heidenreich vs Orlando Jordon - firstly you have heidenreich who will never get over (he only gets cheered now because he is with Animal), and then you have the US champ who draws no heat whatsoever from the corwd during his match. A boring match, simple as that - 3/10

6) Rey Mysterio vs Eddie - I think both these guys are awesome but this whole fued just bored me, but even the dumb story can't take anything away from this match. It is betterv than their good mania match no doubt, but the ending to me was dissapointing - 8.5/10

7) John Cena vs JBL - I had doubts as to how good this match would be considering their poor mania match but boy was this a good match. WWE were clever and realised that a normal singles match would have bombed because lets face it JBL is no Kurt Angle. Both men made good use of the weapons available to them and it certainly helped that Cena bled a lot, still not as much as Eddie did last year though. The ending seemed a tad anti climatic but the aim was to put Cena over strong and that is exactly what they did here - 9/10

DVD Exclusive - is an interview with Carlito and Matt Morgan. I hate his stuttering gimmick but I have to admit this was funny.

Hello and welcome to my review on Judgement Day 2005. I use a grading system and each match receives a grade. Then to determine how the show ranks the total of the matches scores are divided by the number of matches giving the grade and a comment about whether you should buy it or not. The grading system is as follows.


Grading E- = 0 - 8.33%-Waste of time and money.
E = 8.33 - 16.66%-Waste of time and money.
E+ = 16.66 - 24.99%-Waste of time and money.
D- = 24.99 - 33.32%-Very poor event maybe read about it.
D = 33.32 - 41.65%-Poor event with a little something standing out.
D+ = 41.65 - 50%-Not a very good event but it just below passing.
C- = 50 - 55.55%-Just below average worth a watch.
C = 55.55 - 61%-An average event worth a renting.
C+ = 61 - 66.65%-Above average worth a purchase if you can find it for cheap.
B- = 66.65 - 72.20%-Good event with a lot of good stuff. Purchase if you're a collector or interested.
B = 72.20 - 77.75%-Good quality event which is worth purchase and should be collected.
B+ = 77.75 - 83.30%-Very high quality event with awesome matches. Must have for anyone.
A- = 83.30 - 88.85%-Excellent event, must have for anyone. Lock this one away.
A = 88.85 - 94.40%-Extremely spectacular event with lots of great stuff. Lock this away.
A+ = 94.40 - 100%-DVD of the century, must buy and keep in a very safe place.






Match One-WWE Tag Team Championships-Johnny Nitro & Joey Mercury(C)Vs Charlie Haas & Hardcore Holly-This match was a nice opener to the PPV. Hardcore shouldn't be mucking round like this, he should be in a hardcore division(remember the days),except there isn't one,Charlie should be the US champ,MNM(Melina,Nitro,Mercury)are an excellent team, they put on a fairly good quality match, it was a great choice for opener and it kept me on the edge of my seat. My rating 7.19/10.

Match Two-Carlito Vs Big Show-This was another nice match, except this one was a lot more ordinary, Carlito has talent(too bad he's an injury prone wrestler)and should be getting a good steady push up the ladder to the top. This also was a nice way to use Carlito's b-b-b-bodyguard Matt Morgan the walking stutterbox(absolutely golden extra with them). I'm glad this was kept short as any longer it would have lost its effect. My rating 6.31/10.

Match Three-Cruiserweight Championship-Paul London(C)Vs Chavo Guerrero-This match was a great cruiserweight match with lots of risks and high flying spots and bumps taken. The whole feud was nice except it should be one of the bright things on Smackdown, not just a bright spot on Velocity. Keep these two having a nice feud with some great matches to come. My rating 8.01/10.

Match Four-Booker T Vs Kurt Angle-This was a good match with two good wrestlers, except one thing, the storyline sucked. Kurt isn't that type of man wanting to do things with Bookers wife, he's the real american he is. These two put on a good match but its not as good as what they could have done. My rating 7.71/10.

Match Five-U.S Title-Orlando Jordan(C)Vs Heidenreich-This match was just a plain filler. There was no real storyline, one thing happens so they "settle" it at Judgement Day. This was a short not exciting match, it was about the same excitement as Carlito Vs Show earlier. My rating 5.71/10.

Match Six-Rey Mysterio Vs Eddie Guerrero-This is what Judgement Day's about, brutal,emotion filled brawls without over pushing it, these two put on a magnificient show, an absolute gem of a match, this is one of the best matches on a Smackdown PPV this year. My rating 8.71/10.

Match Seven-Main Event-I Quit Match-WWE Championship-John Cena(C)Vs JBL-This was a bloody brutal brawl with lots of great spots and action. They both put on a show and were both bleeding bad by the end of this match. Hopefully they don't do many more matches again cause they're not the most talented wrestlers around. Great way to end this show. My rating 9.30/10.




There we have it Judgement Day 2005, now lets see how it went in the scoring department, the score is 52.94 out of 70 which in a percentage is equal to 66.17%. The grading for this is C+ Above average worth a purchase if you can find it for cheap. I agree with the comment, it has two great matches to end, the rest of the matches are fairly good except the Big Show Vs Carlito Match and the US title match. Still purchase this even if it is only for the last two matches on the card.

Tag title match
Quite a good tag match and bettered my expectations
RATING: 74/100

Eddie vs. Rey
A brawl for the first part, but really was excellent after the beginning stages. The overall result was ruined slightly by the DQ ending, but still an excellent match.
RATING: 87/100

Angle vs. Booker t
Good match that was perhaps a bit slow until the final few minutes
RATING: 78/100

Big show vs. Carlito
Nothing special here, what really got it the marks was the impressive interference from Morgan at the end
RATING: 68/100

Orlando vs. Heidenreich
Terrible, terrible, terrible. 2 crap wrestlers that did just what I expected (a really disappointing match). The only thing that this rating what it is, is that it ended at 4:30.
RATING: 35/100

Chavo vs. Paul London
Very good high-flying match that exceeded my expectations and has brought me to to liking the Cruiserweight division.
RATING: 81/100

Cena vs. JBL
Much better than expected all the way. Probably JBLs best match that was thanks to rules and Cena punishing him. Excellent match with an excellent result to top off an excellent pay per view. The only down points that stopped this from reaching top 20 best match ever status was the anti climatic ending and the fact that another 5 minutes would have helped.
RATING: 92/100

74% - Very good PPv that excelled expectations and will end up as 1 of Smackdowns best ppvs of 2005
