WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH:
1. Paul London and Bryan Kendrick vs. MNM (C)
RATING: 8.5/10
A great tag team match that has you sitting on the edge of your seat.
One of the best matches of the night. A great opener.

2. Chris Benoit vs. Finlay
RATING: 9/10
I was expecting a good match "and you know what this was an excellent
Match." This was a brilliant technical match between the two and match of the night.

3. Hall vs. Melina
RATING: Women's Match
The same as any women's match.

CRUISEWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH:
4. Gregory Helms (C) vs. Super Crazy
RATING: 7/10
An ok match that could have been better. I was really looking forward for this
match too. Did not feel like a cruiserwieght match.

5. Henry vs. Angle
RATING: 6.5 /10
Better than there match at the Royal Rumble. The count out ruined it.

KOTR FINAL:
6. Booker T vs. Lashley
RATING: 7.5/10
This was a good match that I enjoyed. It could have been better.

7. Undertaker vs. The Great Khali
RATING: -0/10
This match sucked big time. Great Khali is a horrible wrestler and should get
Fired fast. This match ruined the PPV for me. He made the Under Taker look bad.
So just SKIP this match.

WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH:
8. Rey Mysterio (C) vs. JBL
RATING: 8/10
A good main event from Smackdown.
I didn't think it was going to be this good.


Overall Judgment Day 2006 was a good PPV from Smack Down. Better than last years
PPV. Judgment Day 2006 is worth buying and adding to your WWE collection.

Thank you for reading my review and let me know if it helped you out.

1) WWE Tag Team Championship
MNM (C) vs. Paul London and Brian Kendrick
Great tag team match with a lot of high flying moves by London and Kendrick.

Despite being short, it is actually decent.
Winner: Jillian Hall
Match Rating: 6.5/10

4) Cruiserweight Championship
Gregory Helms (C) vs. Supercrazy
An average but watchable match
Winner and still champion: Gregory Helms
Match Rating: 6/10

5) Mark Henry vs. Kurt Angle
A Decent match with a countout ending, nothing special
Winner: Mark Henry (countout)
Match Rating: 5.5/10

6) King of the Ring Finals
Bobby Lashley vs. Booker T
Could have been a lot better, but decent. Lashley got screwed by Finlay.
Winner and the 2006 King of the Ring: Booker T (later re-named King Booker)

7) The Great Khali vs. The Undertaker
God did this match suck. Undertaker got DOMINATED and I am not looking forward to the Punjabi Prison match at the Great American Bash. I absolutley HATE Khali.

Rey Mysterio (C) vs. JBL (US Champion)
Great match with JBL dominating most of the match, and then later Rey hits him with the 619 to get the win.

Match Rating: 9/10

My SmackDown PPV streak continues as this was the fourth SmackDown PPV in a row that was overall a great PPV. In ways, it's ironic that WWE focuses more on RAW but yet, SmackDown PPV's are better quality than the RAW ones in the past year.

WWE Tag Team Champions MNM vs. Brian Kendrick & Paul London - Great tag team match and one of the best ones in WWE in recenty memory. Honestly, I'm not acting like it's the greatest of all time but it's really a great match but unfortunally, it also ended with the breakup of MNM.

Chris Benoit vs. Finlay - This match is a perfect for those who are fans of professional wrestling (not sports entertainment) and gave you a great mat based wrestling match.

Jillian Hall vs. Melina - This was a good womens match & one of the best ones in the past year. Little people know that Melina & Jillian are trained to wrestle so you don't have to expect any of that T&A wrestling that Torrie & Candice or sit through a horrible match like you see with the diva search girls do.

Crusierweight Champion Gregory Helms vs. Super Crazy - Crazy is one of the most underutilized wrestlers in WWE today while you don't see alot of Gregory Helms these days eventhough he's Crusierweight Champion so this was the "sleeper" match of the night as these two put on a great show as Crazy does his lucha style while Helms uses at his mat wrestling. This was one of the matches that proves if WWE was to push this division more than what they normally do now, it clearly has the possibility to overshadow TNA's X Division.

Kurt Angle vs. Mark Henry - Just like most Mark Henry matches, it's good if the other wrestler does alot of selling & the match is short. This was no exception as Angle sold his injured ribs while Henry just beat him down. The match result was kinda jip (nobody pays money to see DQ & countout endings) but the attack afterwards made up for it.

King Of The Ring Final: Bobby Lashley vs. Booker T - Both men brought their A game here & put on the best match possible. ALL HAIL KING BOOKER!

Undertaker vs. Great Khali - All I'm gonna say about this is that Taker did his best but Khali just sucks period. It was basically Khali countering all of Taker's offence while getting in a few WEAK punches and kicks here & there. It's watchable & Khali is at least better than Kenzo Suzuki so I've seen worse so I'll give the match some credit.

WWE Champion Rey Mysterio vs. J.B.L. - This match was a step below their match months ago at No Mercy because throughout Mysterio's whole title reign, he was booked as the underdog because of his size instead of being able to hold his own. JBL dominated the match with Mysterio making the big comeback.

DVD extras included a quick backstage confrontation between Chavo & Eddie's widow Vicki Guerrero, an interview with Khali & Davari, and Booker being crowned King Booker on SmackDown!

Again a PPV that I can watch over & over again, recommended.

WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP:
Rey Mysterio (C) vs. JBL
RATING: 8/10
GOOD MATCH WHAT WOULD OF MADE THIS MATCH IS IF JBL WON

Going in, I was expecting a decent show, I was blown away! One of the better WWE PPVs so far in 2006.

1) Paul London and Bryan Kendrick vs. MNM
A very good start to the show. London and Kendrick win. One of the better matches of the night. 8/10

2) Chris Benoit vs. Dave Finlay
Outstanding. This is as good of a technical match as you will see in the WWE. The match was slow paced, and well thought out. 9.5/10

3) Hall vs. Melina
Decent for what it was. 6/10

4) Gregory Helms vs. Super Crazy
Good Cruiser match, not as good as it could've been, but it wasn't bad. 7.5/10

5) Henry vs. Angle
Shockingly decent. Mark Henry is plain awful, and he has no talent whatsoever, but this was actually somewhat good. Way better than their fiasco at the Royal Rumble 7/10

6) Booker T vs. Lashley
Solid match. Lashley dragged Booker down, but not enough to take away from the match. I was surprised (in a good way) that Booker went over. 8/10

7)Undertaker vs. The Great Khali
Urgh, just plain awful. Remember Taker vs. Giant Gonzoles from Wrestlemania 9? This is only slightly better. 2/10

8) Rey Mysterio vs. JBL
Very good match. After a terrible Taker vs. Khali match, they needed something good. JBL is really growing on me. I may be wrong, but I believe this is the first time in his career that Rey has used the blade. 8.5/10

Very solid show. Worth checking out on DVD.

This was an awesome pay per view, especially the main event which was Rey Mysterio vs JBL. JBL started off well, he powerbombed Rey onto the turnbuckle then hit a big boot. While Mysterio was down JBL got a steel chair wrapped in barbed wire only to have it dropkicked right in his face which then wounded JBL causing him to bleed. Then Rey got out a normal steel chair, set it up in the centre of the ring. Rey went for a drop toe hold on JBL so he would go crashing head first into the steel chair, but JBL reversed it and powerbombed a helpless Mysterio onto the steel chair spine first. A few minutes latr Mysterio miraculously hits a 619 but while he was flying off the top rope he was caught by JBL and was about to find himself going down spine first courtesy of another JBL powerbomb when he reversed the move with a backflip. But this only put Mysterio into worse trouble as when Rey went for a second 619 JBL ducked out of the way and mysterio found his face impaled into JBL's arm hard only to have the unconscous Rey Mysterio have his shoulders pinned to the mat as his title reign came to an abrupt halt. (wich I was personally happy about) Overall this pay per view was a truly great pay per view.

Unfortunately Kurt Angle suffered what is thought to be a "broken rib" and will be out for an "unknown amount of time" when in fact he is just out to give his beat up body a chance to rest [Which he rightfully deserves] Therefore he will not compete in the KOTR tournament anymore...
