Judgement Day-Pay up was another piece of crap! Wrestling is starting to suck so much that's why the ratings are going down! This is great and i just love it! All the idiot morons who i told the XFL was flop and they said no Vince is a genius? at wrestling not even, the idiot is so stupid giving these air heads fans Raw and Smackdown matches for pay per view and people actually paying for it, i saw it for free and wasted my time. What the hell is wrong with this jerk off Vince why doesn't he want to pay Goldberg the money he's worth it and will bring in the ratings,Booker T, Sting, DDP, what the hell he bought WCW for, if all he wants to do is show the same boring WWF soap opera! Give the wrestling public something new jerk! Yet he pays K-Kwick-Al Snow-2 Uncool, these big contracts and these bums don't bring in ratings yet he doesn't wnat to pay the WCW big names the money when i'm pretty sure having those guys will boost the WWF ratings, too bad he's not as smart as Don King because King would've of brought Goldberg in paid him his 3 million a year, and made quadruple of him. If he doesn't bring in the WCW talent i see the WWF going straight down and that's GREAT!

I wonder why Vince always has to be involved in the main event matches to screw things up. He did at WM, he did at Backlash and now Judgment Day. . . .This is three times in a row. This is beggining to get tiresome for us the fans. He should step out of TV and give other deserving wrestlers a chance to have some time on the air. No storylines developed. We were all left with the same shity situation. Im so upset, that I think I won't watch RAW tonight. Nothing that happened on the PPV left an impression at all for me to say: "Hey. . . I can't wait for RAW tommorow". I still say Triple H had to turn against Austin because Austin cost him the IC title. But. . .what do we get? Triple H rescuing Austin. . . This Austin - Triple H angle should've ended yesterday and restart the feud between Austin and Triple H. Instead, Triple H looses his IC, he saves Austin and looks like a total asshole. I've read that Benoit and Jericho will challenge Austin and Triple H for the tag-team titles . Benoit and Jericho should be catapulted to the main event on singles competition instead of teaming up and being held back. I hope that this match gets done tonight or at Smackdown being the latest date, because if WWF is planning to do this match as the KOTR's main event (like some rumors circulating), then KOTR will suck too. That would make 3 PPV's in a row in which WWF gives fans crap instead of interesting matches and storylines. If Vince is laying back thinking he controls wrestling and thinks he can give us the fans any crappy angles and we will be satisfied with that garbage, he is wrong, the ratings and low PPV buyrates are the best proof. . . . And by the way. . I expect the ratings to drop even lower. If Vince stopped caring about the fans and the business, then wrestling is doomed. Fans are smart. . .if they don't like the product (like we have seen for the past few weeks), ratings will continue to drop and sooner or later it will hurt WWFE badly. Vince better make a move soon or we could watch a repeat of what happened with the XFL, with the WWF

judgement day was okay. nothing special. I was hoping taker getting the belt but he get screwed. the camera angle for the last minute of the main event sucked. the only good match of the night was benoit/jericho winning the number one tag team contenders. the ppv was okay

This PPV was A LOT more solis from top to bottom than Backlash, with the exception of the women's match...somebody teach Chyna how to sell please!! The hardcore match was lackluster to decent...whatelse can you expect from "The Big Slow"?? The Regal/Rikishi match was rather stinky (pun intended), but i guess you can't ask for more from a guy with an injured shoulder. The IC match turned out to be better than expected and, call me a mark, but the main event actually had me believing that 'Taker was taking the gold. Speaking of gold, the 2 out of 3 falls match was very solid and only topped by the tag team turmoil match, in my opinion. They shoulda called this PPV "Benoit" Day, instead of Judgement Day, whith his being involved in 4 falls throughout the night. Overall- Big improvement over Backlash and previous tv buildups. Then again, that wouldn't really take much at all lately, would it?!?!

Ok I didn't get to see the ppv...let me rephrase that, I CHOSE not to see the ppv. I had better things to do. I figure everything's gonna suck until they get some competition. Actually it's all pretty good until Austin comes on or HHH comes out, they do the same stupid "bad guy" bullshit over and over, HHH is a good heel but Austin isn't. I read the ppv results, I saw about 4 low blows by Austin in that one match...2 in a row at one time it said! He's trying too hard to be a heel when he's more used to being a face. People don't want to see this crap they wanna see what makes them happy, and seeing their favorite wrestler who used to be the one they looked up to being a pussy now just because he's a "bad guy". I'm not a big Austin fan, never have been or probably will be, he's ok but he's screwing everything up. Not that it's all his fault, McMahon has a big hand in what's done of course. I just hope he fixes everything when WCW starts back up again.

It was one of the worst ppvs of the past 5 years. I dont know what the hell wwf is trying to besides bury the company they have worked to become the best wrestling federation in the united states. Nobody wants to see Undertaker as the american bad ass anymore it was old as a matter of fact last judgement day. Nobody wants to see Y2J fued with Regal for the 20th time and we sure as hell dont ever want to see Angle Face benoit again. What i want to know is how can a man who onws wcw,(soon to be ecw) and wwf and not putting on the kind of wrestling shows wrestling fans have craved for the past 20 years. Its a shame that tonight when raw starts we are gonna see Stone Cold once again rant and rave about this and that and once again for the main event for raw it will somehow include the worst gimmick ever undertaker (his stupid ass lame song must go) vs Stone cold because in mcmahons fairness. Judgement day gets a -2872628437236786876 out of a possiable 10. And i cant wait till we get the ross report and he says how it was the greatest thing he has seen since his own BBQ sauce. WWF has disapointed me and a very good amount of other fans.

There was a few good spots in the show BUT not many. The story lines are getting stale and old. The same people wrestling each other time and time again. All heels not many faces at all. WWF is reminding me of WCW and its last few days.

Ok, the begging of Judgment Day was lame. From the Chyna and Lita match and on the show was fairly good. I think it is great Kane has the IC belt, hope he keeps it. Don't care about Austin, Taker deserves the world belt though.
