Judgement Day Results W/ Tons Of Pics
Judgement Day - and here we go!
Match #1: Ric Flair VS Carlito
A pretty quick match here - not quite what I expected. For most of the match Carlito dominates. Flair manages, though, to get the Figure Four on Carlito and Carlito taps out.
Winner: Ric Flair
What kind of a “lesson” was that? How to get your ass whooped?
Match #2: Vince McMahon & Umaga & Shane McMahon VS Bobby Lashley
Wow - sorry, I blinked and almost missed this match! Bobbly Lashley comes out on the offensive and manages to keep Umaga out of the fight, meaning it’s just him and Shane. And, of course, Lashley dominates.
Winner: Bobby Lashley
Of course, Vince tells Lashley that since he didn’t beat the “ECW Champion” (himself) that he does not get the belt. Nice twist, Vince.
HBK’s been having some issues before the match - Randy Orton decided to go over to him and ram his face into a fence. The doctor checks HBK out and says that he’s not fit to wrestle.
Match #3: CM Punk VS Elijah Burke
I’m not quite sure what bothered me about this match, but it seemed kind of off. There were some good technical moves, but all in all it was kind of dull.
Winner: CM Punk
Match #4: Randy Orton VS Shawn Michaels
Yeah - good match - uh huh - what with Shawn passing out a few minutes in and all. Orton starts slamming his face right away, and Michaels doesn’t last five minutes before slamming down onto the matt on his own volition. The ref calls it and the EMT’s rush down to the stage. Sorry to say, I didn’t see this one coming! I’m kind of disappointed - one of the things I look forward to is watching HBK kick some ass, and now, instead of getting what he deserves, he’s being made to play the resident “hurt” boy. So Vince has decided to take his “problem child” and promote him, while he takes one of his best and demotes him. Yeah - that makes sense Vince.
WINNER: Randy Orton
Match #5: Hardy Boys VS Cade & Murdock
A decent match here. The Hardy Boys always give the high flying action, and once again, they don’t disappoint. I still say that Cade and Murdock need to wrestle on their own - they’re better that way, but seeing them give respect to another team is satisfying to watch. Jeff ends up going high at the end for his beautiful Swan Ton for the finish.
WINNER: Hardy Boys
Match #6: Edge VS Batista
A quicker match than I anticipated. Edge goes for Batista’s injured leg time and time again, and comes out with such a cocky attitude that you are almost begging for him to lose the belt. The two, for some reason, don’t seem to work well together - there’s no excitement in the match. I’m actually glad that it was as short as it was.
WINNER: Edge
Match #7: Chris Benoit VS MVP
The first “longish” match of the night, this is a 2 out of 3 falls match. MVP and Benoit go right at each other, but it seems like Benoit’s injured leg (from the Shalaleigh the other night) is a problem, and MVP goes right for it. MVP gets him down into the Playmaker for the first pin.
They lose the crowd in this one, and they actually start chanting, “This is boring” over and over - I agree. Benoit gets MVP into the crossface but MVP, who had been working the knee all match, elbows the knee which makes Benoit roll over in agony. MVP get the roll-up for the pin.
WINNER: MVP
Match #8 The Great Khali VS John Cena
I expected this to be good, but it was actually better than I thought it would be - and shorter! I figured it would take awhile for Cena to wear Khali down, but that’s not the technique he took at all. After some jumping around by Cena, he finally manages to get Khali in the STFU, making Khali tap out.
WINNER: John Cena
The interesting thing about this match is seeing how loud the crew had to blast the music to cover up the “boo’s” from the audience. They’ve taken a strong dislike to Cena, and nothing Vince has been able to do, so far, has helped. I think the match between Khali was an attempt to turn the tide, so to speak, but it obviously didn’t work.
