Movie Reviews of WWE: Judgment Day 2008
Movie Review: WWE Delivers Another Very Solid PPV for 08,
Summary: 4 Stars
Most fans will agree that the WWE has been on a roll for the past couple of months in terms of delivering quality PPV events. With exceptions of the Royal Rumble & No Way Out, I have been satisfied with each event since October. Judgment Day was a pleasant surprise as I have been known to be disappointed with the majority of these events.
John Cena vs J.B.L. It's been quite some time since we have seen Cena in an opening contest; to the best of my knowledge since the Great American Bash 2004, but anyways about the match. This is a slow paced ground match for the most part that is dominated by J.B.L. but I will give the match credit due to Cena actually SELLING the offense & J.B.L. displaying a few nice wrestling holds. If you can get past the quick finish, this is a good match & their best since their I-Quit match, ironically three years ago at this event.
WWE Tag Team Champions John Morrison & The Miz vs Kane & CM Punk. I have a confession to make, but I have not enjoyed all of Morrison/Punk matches. They are both very talented but something about their matches doesn't click for me for whatever reason. Anyways, this was a solid tag team match as nobody looked out of place & was able to contribute to the contest including Miz, with the only problem being that this match was too short to turn into something special.
Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho. This was the main reason that I wanted to see this event, even though I was looking forward to Taker/Edge later on in the evening. While this match does not have the emotion of their WrestleMania XIX classic, I enjoyed this one just as much as I enjoyed that previous encounter & it was my favorite match of the night. Everything just felt new & fresh especially with moments of HBK using an Arm-Bar on the ropes or executing an Indian.. oops sorry I mean Native American Deathlock or even Jericho telling the story of "Can he trust HBK?" based off the storyline. Great performance & a nice finish to a great wrestling match that we expected from Michaels & Jericho.
Women's Champion Mickie James vs Melina vs Beth Phoenix. It is great to see WWE pushing the women who can wrestle & in the process give the women's division a chance to redeem themselves. The problem is that this match was too short to become special in it's own way but the effort was clearly shown especially with the highlight of Beth Phoenix pressing both women at the same time.
Vacant World Heavyweight Championship: The Undertaker vs Edge. It's performances like this that has made the Taker/Edge feud of 2008, the best feud of the year. Similar to their WrestleMania & Backlash classics, this match starts off slow & gets better as the match progresses allowing both men to remain strong throughout the contest while at the same time telling the story of Taker not being able to use his "Omoplata" submission hold to Edge doing what it takes to reclaim the title. The finish is a huge disappointment, even for a great feud & match like this one.
Jeff Hardy vs M.V.P. A bonus match here at Judgment Day starts off after M.V.P. was cutting a promo about not having a match after being the longest United States Champion in WWE history. This match was more of M.V.P. grounding Jeff for the most part until Jeff made a comeback & was able to win the match. And for those paying attention, look closely at Jeff missing the "Whisper in the Wind" but winning the match anyways. Still, great to see Jeff back.
Steel Cage Match: WWE Champion Triple H vs Randy Orton. This was one of those cage matches where it was not a bloody massacre but it did get pretty intense at times, especially when both men were brought in a steel chair to the contest. Some people did not like the whole escape from the cage angle but I think it adds more to the match than just winning by pinfall but we knew how this one was going to end up. Anyways, a good main event & another great performance but it doesn't top their previous encounters.
Overall, this was the most entertaining Judgment Day event that I witnessed since the 2001 edition, which still stands as my favorite one. Honestly, there was not one bad match on the card & while some results were not better than others, the wrestling quality & effort is clearly shown here.
