It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

*Spoilers*1. Chris Benoit, Rhyno, and Spanky vs. John Cena and FBI (Palumbo and Stamboli)- Good match. A bit short, but very exciting match. Palumbo pinned Spanky after the Kiss of Death. 6.5/102. La Resistance vs. Test and Steiner- Awful match, mainly because of Steiner. Grenier pinned Steiner after a double flap jack. 3/103. Eddie and Tajiri vs. Team Angle- Great match. Lots of exciting parts in this match. Guererro hit Haas with a sunset powerbomb off the ladder and Tajiri sprayed Shelton with the green miust to win. 7.5/104. Intercontinental Battle Royal- Poor match. 5 guys were eliminated in a minute, and then Goldust, Booker T, Y2J, and CLB were in their for forever. Screwjob ending. Christian wins the title.5. Mr. America vs. Roddy Piper- Horrible! It was the worst match I've ever seen as Mr. America wins with a leg drop. 1.5/106. Kevin Nash vs. Triple H- Another terrible match. Triple H got disqualified so he keeps the belt. Nash powerbombs him through the announcing table after the match. 2.5/107. Trish Stratus vs. Jacqueline, vs. Victoria vs. Jazz- Pretty good match. Jazz pins Jacqueline after a DDT. 6/108. Brock Lesnar vs. Big Show- Boring for a while, but picked up at the end. Lesnar wins. 5.5/10Very average Pay Per View.

I agree with the other imdb user. This PPV was the pits, ladder bout aside. The segments between Austin-Bischoff were amusing but we dont buy the PPVs to watch interviews. This was probably the worst card since King of the Ring 95 and that event was just inferior to this one. If you havent seen this event, DONT.

The May PPV Judgment Day shows just what is wrong with WWE at the moment- stuff like A) not giving matches enough time, B) favouring feud-building, promos and storylines over actual wrestling, C) giving main event slots to the bigger, slower guys and burying the talented smaller guys in pointless feuds or on Velocity/Heat. I've been watching wrestling for 11 years and I'm sad to say that (despite an extensive and talented roster) this is the worst it's been for some time! Judgment Day went down like this: (Spoilers)MATCH 1- The FBI (Palumbo & Stamboli) and John Cena vs Brian Kendrick, Chris Benoit & Rhyno. Great potential for this match, but it was given less than 4 minutes. That's a travesty! They could have easily ditched a few promos and the pathetic bikini contest and let this match go longer. Disappointing. Kendrick, on the other hand, is fantastic- he seems to be really popular with the crowds and he always looks to give 110% in the ring. (So like I said, next stop Velocity!) FBI get the win with the Kiss of Death, a double-team move resembling Demolition's old finisher. Good match, which I can't rate, due to its brevity.MATCH 2- La Resistance vs Test & Steiner. Less said about this the better. Double-team spinebuster on Steiner for the win. The whole "hate us, we're French" thing is so damn lazy as a gimmick and I'd be surprised if they continue 'getting heat' on a long-term basis. Bad stuff here. (2/10)MATCH 3- Eddy Guerrero & Tajiri vs Team Angle--Ladder Match for the SD! Tag titles. Impressive ladder match. Guerrero's frog splash was tremendous and Shelton's leap off the ladder (a la The Beverly Brothers) looked nasty! Ouch. Good win for Eddy & Tajiri, who was filling in for an injured Chavo Guerrero. (7/10)MATCH 4- Battle Royal for the returning IC Title. Poorly put together. Most of the guys (RVD, Kane, Storm, Val Venis) were gone after about a minute and a half! Came down to Jericho, Booker T & Christian. Christian won, under somewhat controversial circumstances (ripping off Austin's Royal Rumble 'win' in 97) I'd like to think that they're not giving Jericho the title because they're setting him up for a shot at Triple H. Yeah, right. They should've never taken him off Smackdown! Huge mistake. (4/10)The bikini contest was up next. An utter waste of time (and pointless, since both Sable & Torrie were in Playboy.) Sable got a bigger cheer, but oddly, Torrie was declared winner.MATCH 5- Mr America vs Roddy Piper. How can this pathetic Mr America thing be Smackdown's top plot? Shocking stuff. I'm not gonna comment on the match- the rating speaks for itself. (0/10)MATCH 6- Triple H vs Kevin Nash--World (RAW) title match. Awful feud, awful match, awful finish. This piece of crap is gonna drag on into Bad Blood as well. Cheap DQ finish and a totally undeserving challenger in Nash. His kickout of the Pedigree actually managed to piss me off! If the move (used once) can beat talented guys like Angle, Jericho and Booker, why does Nash get to kick out of it? Only highlight was the post-match Jackknife through the announcer's table. Oh yeah, Triple H's purple boots were really dodgy! (2/10)MATCH 7- Fatal 4 Way for the Women's title- Trish vs Jazz vs Victoria vs Jacqueline. Good show from the women. Trish took a hard landing out on the floor and busted her lip, but still kept going. Fair play to her. RAW really needs more women wrestlers (or at least stop letting Jazz squash Molly & Ivory!) Jazz DDTs Jackie for the 1-2-3. (7/10)MATCH 8- Brock Lesnar vs Big Show--Stretcher match for the WWE (SmackDown!) title. Just one big brawl up until the disappearance of Brock and the appearance of Rey Mysterio. Things get really good after that! Brock makes novel use of a forklift to move Big Show for the win. (Bit boring up til Mysterio) (4.5/10)Poor show from the WWE. No Goldberg, no Kidman, Hurricane, Matt Hardy- this PPV could've done with a dose of Mattitude! The PPV split is very dangerous from WWE's point of view. RAW is noticeably the weaker show- something drastic will have to be done.Some awful matches, too many promos and bad time management led this to be one of the worst PPVs in the past few years.

I disagree in what evilshadow76 had said. I have spoke to many WWE fans that have watched it for years and they thought this PPV was the best of the year and I agree. What evilshadow says about Raw title is harsh. People knew that HHH/Nash wudnt be gud thats why it didnt last long and it was a great finish, Nash puts HHH right through the table without taking out the monitors which was great to see. I say that HHH will lose the title next month at Badd Blood. The ladder match was superb, I was dissapointed that Chavo was out but Tajiri put on a great match the green mist :) and they used the ladders superbly. The First match Benoit/Rhyno/Spanky vs FBI/Cena was ok all right to start of with. The Test/Steiner vs French dudes was bad. The Austin/Bischoff segments were funny was usual, you go to see them. The Womens match was nothing special, the Mr America vs Roddy Piper again was nothing special I just cant believe how Piper looks now its awful. The Brock vs The Big Show was probably the best and everyone will agree, it was very entertaining and Brock and Show put a good match on at last, an amazing Stretcher match with the use of a forklift they should leave Show on that forklift all night.Overall I think that this PPV beats Backlash and beats No Mercy and Royal Rumble it was a very entertaining and exciting PPV. The WWE are getting better.
