Okay, maybe that might be a bit too harsh considering the stuff they put out in the early 90's. But looking at this PPV, I can't see the need to shell out your money for it. Everything is out of [whack].

Steve Austin comes out to start the show with a promo. Yes, so for everybody paying money to see wrestling, you'll be deeply disappointed throughout the night as Austin/Bischoff have many other 'HILARIOUS' encounters.

John Cena, Chuck Palumbo & Johnny Stamboli vs. Chris Benoit, Rhyno & Spanky
This was the first PPV match for Spanky, a fine young rookie in the WWE who has had a lot of good matches in the Indys against other big named Indy guys. The WWE has since misused him horribly. This match didn't even hit the four minute mark folks, but I guess that was to make room for the hilarious Austin/Bischoff segments. 1/2*

Test & Scott Steiner vs. La Resistance
On the rare occasion that La Resistance wrestled, they did it horribly...then again, they're trying to wrestle Steiner. It was alright at the beginning but took the choo-choo train to [stinks]ville quickly. 1/2*

Smackdown Tag Titles
Ladder Match
Team Angle (c) vs. Eddie Guerrero & Tajiri
A good Ladder match though I have seen a lot better. Team Angle was way out of their element here though. ***

Intercontinental Title Battle Royal
Well I only wanted two people to win in the battle royal, and that was Booker T and Christian. Though the ending was stupid, and every other wrestler besides the final four got out in under three minutes it was a nice way to waste time. **

Bikini Contest
Sable vs. Torrie Wilson
Sable looks like a grandma, and since everybody has seen Torrie naked, I don't get the point of this match. Let's say it was very horrible to watch.

Mr.America vs. Rowdy Roddy Piper
This match ended in under five minutes, but unless you checked the time you would think it ended in just under an hour. It was that boring. -***

Raw World Title
HHH (c) vs. Kevin Nash
The match was very hard to watch, it had no flow at all and the fact that the match didn't have a clean victory in it was even worse for the match. People paid good money to see this, at least give them a clean win. Another waste of PPV time. -*

Womens World Title
Jazz (c) vs. Jackie vs. Trish Stratus vs. Victoria
This match was a breath of fresh air after the horrible matches we have just seen. *

Smackdown World Title
Stretcher Match
Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Big Show
It wasn't a bad match, just really boring up until Rey Mysterio came out. It was nothing that I would watch again. **

FBI & John Cena v. Chris Benoit, Rhyno & Spanky
This was a very interesting match. Cheap ending. FBI wins with a Code Red on Spanky.***

La Reistance v. Scott Steiner & Test
BOOOOO!!! All 4 men SUCK!! La Reistance wins in a horrible match. Don't watch it.*1/2

IC Title Battle Royal
I don't remember all the participants. I remember they ganged up on Kane and threw him over. Christian eliminated Jericho. Booker eliminated Christian to win but the Ref didn't see then Christian threw Booker over to win. Quick match.***

Sable v. Torrie Wilson Bikini Challenge
Their both hot. But it was so dumb. I will give it a rating.**

Rowdy Roddy Piper v. Mr.America
This was a very good match between two old guys. It was an old school match. Big deal if Mr. America is Hogan. Hogan or Mr. America wins.****

Team Angle v. Eddie Guerrero & Tajiri WWE Tag Titles Ladder Match
Bow down to this match it was awesome. Eddie & Tajiri win in an incredible match. Chavo is out that's why Tajiri is in there. Eddie grabs the belts and wins.****3/4

Triple H v. Kevin Nash World Title
This match is very underrated. Nash should have won. HHH wins by DQ but Nash was the one standing. Nash powerbombs him through the announce table.****

Jazz v. Victoria v. Trish v. Jacqueline Women's Title
This was an absolute great women's match. Jazz wins with a roll-up. What a match.*****

Brock Lesnar v. Big Show WWE Title Strechter Match
This match was very stupiud. Brock couldn't fit Show onto a strechter so he brought out a pitchfork and got Big Show on that and won. Mysterio ruined the match he kept interfering.***

ps. im watchin judgement day 2004 tonight i hope JBL wins the wwe title.........

Judgment Day 2003 was not good. The strecher match and the ladder match were the only two good matches. Matches like HHH vs. Kevin Nash and roddy piper vs. mr. america (hogan) are a disgrace. This was just a bad ppv.

This was a decent event. I was very impressed with the matches. I won't go into each one, as there are plenty of people doing that here. What I will say is the stretcher match for the WWE title is worth it. Brock Lesnar and The Big Show put on a much better match than I thought, the ending is great!

I also enjoyed all the extras from Sunday Night Heat and the post match interviews. I do have one complaint. While I totally enjoy the WWE for putting old matches out as extras on their new DVD's I was very disapointed with the one that they chose. While I do appreciate the old school wrestling, When I saw Andre the Giant vs. Killer Kahn in the first stretcher match they ever did, I thought I was going to be in for a blood bath. Not at all this match is only 9 minutes long and it is B-O-R-I-N-G. It makes me love what Brock and Show did all the more.

On a side note I wish Vince would release all the Saturday Night's Main Event's on DVD...that would be awesome.

The best fight of both.Great action...espectacular ending by Lesnar with the truck..good performance...best than the other Stretcher Match. 9.5/10

Wow this was the greatest PPV of all time with its utter crap combined with utter s**t and a little bit of wrestling WOW

F.B.I and John Cena VS Chris Benoit, Rhyno and Spanky
So we start out with an ok opening match but the only talent here is Benoit and Spanky will never get anywhere just because of that he's way to small and doesn't have the right look so it doesn't matter what flippy floppy move he does next no ones going to care. Had some alright moments but nothing out of this world ***

Ladder Match Team Angle VS Tagire and Eddy Gurrero Tag Team Championship
This is probably one of the worst tag team ladder matches ever Tagire and Eddy will never work better then with Chavo and Eddy and Team Angle are Wrestlers so this match could never work even if they did it over again five more times I mean the match started out slow with both teams wondering what to do next after each little pointless move, crowd never really got into it and the match was never going anywhere *1/2 well at least they tried.

Battle Royal for the Intercontinental Championship
Cant say this is my favourite type of match and it was just like all the other battle royals WWE has ever done you wait 10 boring minutes for them to get down to four men so they can get some heat from the crowd and by that time you have already lost interest in the match pointless, pointless, pointless *

Sable VS Torrie Wilson Bikini Challenge
Now these contests are always enjoyable to watch if you no what I mean and if you don't what the hell is wrong with you . I really did think Torrie deserved to win even though sable had louder cheers from the crowd but Torrie is younger, fitter and doesn't look like trailer park trash and sable does I mean Sable would have had my vote a threw years ago but now it looks like those drugs haven't done her any favours

Mr America VS Rowdy Roddy Piper
This was total crap heading towards just plain sad Piper should stick to what he does best and Hogan should stick to what he does best which is? -*

Triple H VS Kevin Nash (World Heavy Weight Championship)
This was pretty much a squash match the only reason for this was just to build some more heat for HIAC which I think is really unfair considering people have paid hard earned money to see them really go at it instead they get this **

Fatal four way Jazz VS Trish VS Jacqueline VS Victoria (Women's Championship)
Maybe they should have a no DQ in these matches from now on cos its nothing any body hasn't seen before a hundred times Trish was again the most impressive and proven that blond bimbos can wrestle HA **

Stretcher match Brock Lesnar VS Big Show (WWE Championship)
Last match of the night and the best match of the night its real fun to see Lesnar man handle Show like that. It was a lot better than I thought it was gonna be and had some nice spots in it ***1/2

One of the worst PPV so far this year if there's more like this it wont be good for the WWE defiantly Avoid.

6 MAN TAG TEAM MATCH

FBI & JOHN CENA VS. CHRIS BENOIT, RHINO & BRIAN KENDRICK
JUST AS AN OPENER SHOULD BE, THIS WAS FAST PACED AND HAD A GOOD FLOW GOING. BUT, CUTTING THE MATCH SHORT AT UNDER FOUR MINUTES IS NOT THE BEST IDEA. RHINO NEVER EVEN GOT IN THE MATCH. I KNOW THIS IS AN OPENER, BUT ANOTHER 5 MINUTES WOULDNT HURT ANYBODY. NOTHING TO FAIL BUT CANT RATE IT HIGH AS THEY DESERVED MUCH MORE TIME TAHN WHAT THEY GOT.
WINNERS: FBI & JOHN CENA
RATING: 5

LA RESISTANCE VS. TEST & SCOTT STEINER
THIS ACTUALLY MADE A PRETTY DECENT TAG TEAM MATCH. THOUGH IT IS OBVIOUS WHERE THE STORYLINE IS HEADING TO AFTER THE MATCH, IT STILL STARTS A GOOD FUED. DONT KNOW WHAT TO THINK ABOUT LA RESISTANCE HERE. I GUESS THEY CAN MAKE A PRETTY GOOD TAG TEAM, BUT WITH MORE EXPERIENCE I THINK WE MAY BE SEING SOME NEW WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPS IN THE NEAR FEATURE, PLUS A STEINER AND TEST FEUD.
WINNERS: LA RESISTANCE
RATING: 6

WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP LADDER MATCH
SHELTON BENJAMIN & CHARLIE HASS VS. EDDIE GUERRERO & TAJIRI
THIS MADE A VERY GOOD LADDER MATCH. NOT THAT I EXPECTED ANY LESS FROM THESE FOUR. EVERY PERSON PLAYS A HUGE ROLE IN THIS MATCH, AND ALL TRY THEIR BEST TO MAKE A GREAT MATCH. JUST CHECK OUT TAJIRI, WHO ALMOST KILLED HIMSLEF EARLY ON WITH A PLANCHA! ALMOST ALL THE TIME LADDER MATCHES IMPRESS ME, AND THIS ONE SURELY DID. EDDIE & TAJIRI ARE A PRETTY IMPRESSIVE TEAM, AND AFTER THIS MATCH IT LOOKS LIKE THEY WILL HAVE A SWEET REIGN.
WINNERS & NEW WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS: EDDIE GUERRERO & TAJIRI
RATING: 7

BATTLE ROYAL FOR THE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP
CHRISTIAN VS. BOOKER T VS. CHRIS JERICHO VS. GOLDUST VS. KANE VS. TEST VS. VAL VENIS VS. LANCE STORM VS. ROB VAN DAM
I'LL ADMIT IT, I AM A FAN OF BATTLE ROYALS, BUT THEY DO HAVE THEIR SLOW POINTS. THIS ONE WAS PRETTY DECENT. NOTHING THAT'LL COME OUT OF THE SCREEN AND GRAB YOU, BUT IT IS A FUN MATCH TO WATCH. SOME SUPRISE ELIMINATIONS, BUT NOTHING SPECIAL. SCREWJOB ENDING WITH CHRISTIAN AND BOOKER T, BUT THIS WILL START A GOOD FEUD FOR THE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE.
WINNER & NEW INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION: CHRISTIAN
RATING: 6

ROWDY RODDY PIPER VS. MR. AMERICA
NOT MUCH TO SAY ABOUT THIS ONE, BESIDES ITS A PAINFUL MATCH TO WATCH. WOULDVE BEEN BETTER TO HAVE THIS MATCH 15 TO 20 YEARS AGO. WAY TO SLOW AND BORING, BUT WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM THESE TWO. I REALLY CANT PASS THIS ONE, BUT THERE WERE SOME APPEARENCES BY ZACK GOWEN, VINCE MCMAHON & SEAN O'HAIRE
WINNER: MR. AMERICA
RATING: 4

WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
TRIPLE H VS. KEVIN NASH
THIS WAS ONE HARD MATCH TO RATE, BECAUSE IT WAS MAINLY A BRAWL. BUT I SOMEWHAT ENJOYED THIS ONE. I WISH THEY WOULD HAVE QUICKENED THE PACE A LITTLE AT SOME SPOTS AS THAT WOULD GET PEOPLE MORE INTO IT. A NO DISQUALIFICATION STIPULATION WOULDNT HURT ANYTHING. BUT I REALLY DID NOT LIKE THE DQ ENDING, BUT THAT SETS UP THEIR HELL IN A CELL REMATCH AT BAD BLOOD 2003. COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER, BUT IT STILL ENDED UP BEING A SOLID BRAWL.
WINNER BY DQ: KEVIN NASH
STILL WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION: TRIPLE H
RATING: 6

WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP FATAL 4 WAY
VICTORIA VS. JACQULINE VS. TRISH STRATUS VS. JAZZ
DECENT WOMENS MATCH, AND BETTER THAN BACKLASH'S IN MY MIND. MAINLY DUE TO THE PACE. ENDING SORT OF CAME OUT OF NOWHERE, AS JACKIE HIT VICTORIA WITH A NORTHERN LIGHTS, THEN ALL THE SUDDEN JAZZ BROKE UP THE PIN AND DDTD JACKIE FOR THE 3. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A BAD IDEA HAVING THIS AFTER THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH, BUT IT WAS GOOD TO CALM THE CROWD DOWN.
WINNER & STILL WOMEN'S CHAMPION: JAZZ
RATING: 6

WWE CHAMPIONSHIP STRETCHER MATCH
BROCK LESNAR VS. BIG SHOW
THIS WAS A BIG SUPRISE IN MY MIND. THIS WAS ACTUALLY A GOOD MATCH THAT'LL KEEP YOU ON YOUR FEET. STARTED TO BECOME A LITTLE BORING AS THESE ARE TWO BIG MEN, BUT IT JUST GOT BETTER AND BETTER. THE RETURN OF REY MYSTERIO HELPED THE MATCH A LOT. PRETTY GOOD MAIN EVENT FOR JUDGMENT DAY WITH A FUNNY ENDING, AS BIG SHOW WAS TOO BIG FOR A STRETCHER, AND HAD TO BE CARRIED PAST THE LINE BY A FORKLIFT! GOOD CLOSE FOR JUDGMENT DAY.
WINNER & STILL WWE CHAMPION: BROCK LESNAR
RATING: 7

PAY PER VIEW RATING (47/80) = 59

USING THE RATING SYSTEM, JUSGMENT DAY 2003 RECIEVED A C, MEANING IT IS JUST AVERAGE. IT IS HIGH IN THE CATEGORY, BUT I THINK IT FITS WELL, AS ITS NOTHING TERRIBLE, BUT NOTHING SPECIAL. NOT AS GOOD AS BACKLASH, THE PPV BEFORE THIS ONE. OVERALL I'D RECOMMEND THE VHS VERSION, BECAUSE IT COSTS LESS, AND YOU SHOULD SAVE YOUR MONEY FOR OTHER DVDS, BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY OTHER DVDS OUT THERE.

1.Chris Benoit,Rhyno,Spanky vs F.B.I,John Cena
a good openor.was'nt too long or too short.7/10

2.La Resistance vs Test,Scott Steiner with stacey keibler
another ok match.was'nt as good as the last match though.also there's kind of a love triangle bettwen Test,Scott Steiner,Stacey.6/10

3.Tag Team Ladder Match for the Tag Team titles
Team Angle vs Eddie Guerreo,Tajiri
great match.they do some sweet things in that match.8.5/10

4.Battle Royal for the IC title
battle royals are so boring.but this one's better than others, and I like the ending.5/10

5.Bikini Challenge
Torrie Wilson vs Sable
I dont think Sable's hot.but Torrie is so hot, and in this match Torrie's bikini that she wears is so open, and so hot.it makes her look like the hottest women alive(but she's not.Trish is.)10/10

6.Rowdy Roddy Piper with sean'o haire vs "Mr.America" with zach gowen
Hogan being Mr.America is so stupid.actually I hate Hogan overall.but I like him more than Roddy Piper.anyway this match sucked.there both past there prime, and if you have this match why did'nt you have it 15 years ago.the only good thing about this match is Zach gowen.he's cool.3/10


7.WWE World HeavyWeight title match
Triple H with ric flair vs Kevin Nash with shawn michaels
This was a great match, and the promo was cool.when Triple H was coming to the ring Kevin Nash attacked him, and Shawn Michaels attacked Ric Flair.Michaels, and Flair ended up going backstage.Triple H ended up dq'ing himself by smacking the ref with his sludgehammer.then after the match Nash jackniffed Triple H through the raw announcers table.8.5/10

8.Womens title match
Trish vs Jazz with theodore long vs Victoria vs Jackie
now why the heck is this match after the World Heavyweight title match.anyway pretty good for a womens match with a good ending.I wanted Trish to win though.6/10

9.Stretcher Match for the WWE title
Brock Lesner vs Big Show
good match.it gets kinda boring after a while though.then ends with a great ending.8.5/10
