Movie Reviews of WWE: Judgment Day 2007
Movie Review: Way Worse Than It Should've Been
Summary: 2 Stars
JUDGMENT DAY 2007 looks like a pretty strong card on paper. There is no reason this PPV isn't better than it turned out to be. Most poor WWE PPVs are doomed from the start, but this one had a chance at greatness. Then again, the event is called JUDGMENT DAY. How fitting...
1) Carlito v. Ric Flair
---They had a decent match at UNFORGIVEN 2005, but I didn't expect as much this time around. This grudge match should've happened weeks before this very night; the angle was your typical "tag team breakup" routine. This was basically Flair getting his butt handed to him for an unbelievable amount of time, and frankly I just stopped caring long before it was over. Just skip it.
"5.0 / 10"
---------------------------------------------
2) 3-on-1 Handicap Match - ECW World Title
Shane McMahon, Umaga, & Vince McMahon (champion)
v. Bobby Lashley
---I thought their BACKLASH showdown was okay. Why WWE booked a copycat rematch is beyond me. Why it lasted only 2 minutes is even more puzzling. Seriously, who thinks these little "twists" are worth PPV money? Like most have said, on TV this might've been an acceptable presentation. Plus, I admit that the whole match was pretty exciting while it lasted. But c'mon, even on DVD, this feels like a slap to the face.
"4.0 / 10"
---------------------------------------------
3) CM Punk v. Elijah Burke
---I'm gonna start calling these kinds of matches "dark horses." Dark Horses are what I will describe as a match that is pointless, but still a remarkable wrestling presentation. It's strange seeing an ECW singles match take place after the show's own title match! Thankfully, this one is very worthy of a PPV. Take a ROH veteran like Punk and mix him with an young commodity like Burke, and you've got some good stuff. Even though the whole match took place because of an underdeveloped "ECW's New Breed" angle, I was entertained for the 17 minutes these two men competed. It's nice to see these straight-up matches once in a while.
"7.0 / 10"
---------------------------------------------
4) Randy Orton v. Shawn Michaels
---Their last PPV one-on-one faceoff was excellent. Plus, we were in Orton's hometown. I knew of HBK's injuries going in, but man, I didn't expect this ridiculous scenario. Basically, HBK was "attacked" backstage, yet in his "concussive state", came out to wrestle Orton anyway. Orton dominated most of the match, with HBK getting little offense in. WWE really thought we would cast our sympathy votes, but even a hardcore fan like me didn't buy it. I admit the storyline was effectively used, but couldn't HBK have like found a replacement who admired him, or something? Never mind, I'll move on.
"5.0 / 10"
---------------------------------------------
5) World Tag Team Championships
The Hardys (champions) v. Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch
---This was another rematch from the BACKLASH PPV, but there's a reason that this one got included on the Hardys' "Twist of Fate" DVD. Not only is this the best match from these two teams, it's one of the best of the year. Their other PPV encounters were solid outings that never reached their full potential. But this JUDGMENT DAY showdown is exciting and crisp from start to finish. Cade & Murdoch should never have split, and The Hardys were very good for the tag division when WWE seemed to have forgotten about. I think I'll go back and watch this one again, now.
"8.0 / 10"
---------------------------------------------
6) World Heavyweight Championship
Edge (champion) v. Batista
---Even with the rushed booking, Edge has always been great, and Batista showed massive improvement working with Undertaker. But there was clearly emergency booking written all over this one. Thankfully, the match turned out better than I expected. Edge was in control for most of the match, and for some reason, it worked pretty well. Most reviewers have already said it, but Dave Batista really found his groove again wrestling Undertaker in Detroit. This title bout isn't a great match, because it's a little too one-sided and shorter than a championship match should be. It's entertaining, but these two didn't reach their peak until VENGEANCE.
"6.5 / 10"
---------------------------------------------
7) Two-Out-of-Three Falls
United States Championship
M.V.P. v. Chris Benoit (champion)
---Very surprising in many ways. Obviously, this match taking place after SMACKDOWN's main event is a huge compliment. Montel Vontavious Porter winning after two falls was equally shocking, as Benoit came out on top more often when these two competed. But the most unfortunate surprise is how average this showing from these two men. I can't put my finger on it, but this match was rarely exciting, and was rarely slow in a good way. When these two men mat-wrestled in previous matches, there was a great chemistry between them. And when they picked up the pace in those earlier matches, it was great seeing them use a variety of suplexes, holds, counters, and near-falls. But sadly, Porter's 11-month reign as U.S. champion began on a rough note.
"6.5 / 10"
---------------------------------------------
8) WWE Championship
The Great Khali v. John Cena (champion)
---No, this is not a great match. And no, it's not even very good by any other standard I can come up. But, this main event was not terrible. Even with Khali's limited abilities, there was a neat Andre/Hogan atmosphere. The crowd made this match infinitely better than it probably was. Cena barely got any offense in, and won after finally getting in a few signature moves. However, even though I didn't exactly like this contest, I have to admit that it makes sense. If you've seen Khali face Triple H at SUMMERSLAM 2008, then you might understand how sometimes when two wrestlers have to rely on a logical story rather than an exciting one. Tell me, how else could Cena have possibly beaten The Great Khali other than what transpired on this PPV? I won't watch this match again, but I admit that I can't come up with a better answer.
"5.5 / 10"
---------------------------------------------
OVERALL
---This PPV had a lot of potential. There was no way it was going to be a perfect PPV with the mix of injuries and rushed storylines. But most matches failed worse than any paying fan would've predicted. I mean, a few bad matches on this PPV never interested you to begin with, but these shockers still make my head spin.
JUDGMENT DAY 2007 was not a disaster waiting to happen. The WWE talent still could've delivered a worthy event, and just dropped the ball big time. And it hurts deeper than most subpar presentations.
