Is this really JUDGMENT DAY?
I thought I’d run through the Judgment Day card much like we did with the Mania card (and should have done with the Backlash card).
So far, there are only five announced matches, but if more become available, I will update this and put the new answers as well.
HHH V. RANDY ORTON - WWE Championship - Steel Cage Match
What should happen: HHH and Orton should be climbing out at the same time and the lights go out. When they come back on, they’re both on the ground, and no one knows who landed. Regal will take full credit for it, prompting a beat down from HHH and McMahon stripping Regal of his GM duties. This would lead to a feud between HHH and Regal.
What will happen: HHH will win and retain, probably using the crippler crossface.
Undertaker V. Edge - World Heavyweight Championship
What should happen: Edge should get the win, but it should not be a clean win.
What will happen: Taker will debut his all new MMA submission hold for the win.
The Miz & John Morrison V. CMPunk and Kane - WWE Tag Team Championships
What should happen: Miz and Morrison should be given actual opponents, building up a real tag team division.
What will happen: CMPunk and Kane will win, and CMPunk will become the number one contender for the ECW title, leading to Jabroni’s favorite storyline - whacky tag team champs who don’t like each other.
JBL V. John Cena
What should happen: Cena should get the win. JBL should go to Smackdown and be a WRESTLING GAAAAHD.
What will happen: JBL will somehow pull this out, and continue his amazing push.
Chris Jericho V. Shawn Michaels - Intercontinental Championship
What should happen: Shawn Michaels should be limping and go for the Sweet Chin Music, proving he’s been lying. Jericho should then be disqualified as he grabs a chair and beats Shawn’s knee into oblivion. Jericho retains and begins a program with Jeff Hardy. Shawn Michaels is given some time off to recover his actual injuries.
What will happen: Apparently, since I have since watched raw, there’s nothing wrong with Shawn’s knee… Proving that there really is, thus it will give out during the match and Shawn will lose.
Mickie James V. Melina V. Beth Phoenix
What should happen: Melina and Beth should keep screwing each other over, until Mickie lucks into the win, pinning Melina.
What will happen: Melina and Beth Phoenix will reveal it was all a crazy plan on their parts to screw over Mickie, but Melina will “accidentally” get the win, pissing off Phoenix.
Other possible matches:
Matt Hardy V. MVP for the US Title
Hardcore Holly & Cody Rhodes V. Carlito and Santino
Stay tuned, and I’ll update when I know stuff.

I think they should have either had HBK show he was faking right when Jericho accused him or waited until Judgement Day. Instead he did it last night. Of course he’s been showing us he was faking for weeks by constantly supporting himself on his bad leg.

So I watched ECW. I read the spoilers for Smackdown.
Now maybe it’s just me, but when there were only five announced matches one week before the pay per view, I thought maybe the final three shows leading up would give us more matches.
RAW - Gave us the women’s title match, bringing our grand total to six matches out of the usual eight.
ECW - Completely forgot there was a pay per view, other than the supposed build up to Kane and CM Punk V. Miz and Morrison. I mean, it was a bit of a build up, but it was really sort of boring to me. I thought if it was either CMPunk V. Miz or Morrison V. Kane it would have been fine, but having both just seemed annoying. New matches? NONE.
Smackdown - While I don’t want to overly give anything away, suffice it to say it was ALL buildup to Edge V. Undertaker. New matches? NONE.
So yeah, with the last show before the PPV already taped, there are SIX matches announced. Even WWE.Com has no more information on what they’re going to do.
That’s fucking ridiculous.
Why would I buy a PPV with no build toward two of the matches, whatever they may be, a match for the World championship that is just a part three of the on going war, with nothing new to it, other than the finish needs to be different, a women’s title match with melina randomly thrown into it, an Tag match involving a champion whose title should ACTUALLY be on the line, an intercontinental title match over one person accusing the other of lying only for the liar to admit it, proving there’s no reason to fight, and a match between JBL and Cena that barely makes sense? The only match I’m sort of looking forward to is the main event between HHH and Orton, but we all know there are only two ways for that match to end, so really, what’s the point? Either HHH wins again, or Regal turns off the lights and no one wins. Either way, what’s the point?
