I'm not sure how far away Judgment Day is exactly (and I'm too lazy to find out), but assuming they have one First Round Match on TV every week, that's three more weeks until we have the semi-finals. That takes us into the beginning of May, which should be enough time to either have the Semi-Finals back-to-back heading into Judgment Day, where the finals would then take place, or actually create stories heading into Semi-Final matches at Judgment Day.
Now that Kurt Angle is confirmed, I think Booker T will likely defeat Hardy. Kurt Angle vs. Booker T is not only a PPV quality match, but is was on Judgment Day last year. Finlay vs. Chris Benoit will almost definately go to Chris Benoit. I have a feeling Bobby Lashley vs. Mark Henry will go to Mark Henry, simply because Chris Benoit vs. Mark Henry has been rumoured for the Judgment Day card for a long time. I don't know why, but I would love to see the WWE also have some matches between the losers of the King of the Ring Tournament. Randy Orton Substitute vs. Matt Hardy vs. Finlay vs. Bobby Lashley for a United States Title Shot? Hell, just have JBL vs. Matt Hardy vs. Finlay vs. Bobby Lashley for the United States Title.
So Judgment Day is starting to look like this:
World Heavyweight Championship
Rey Mysterio vs. Kane (If rumours are to be believed)
Grudge Match
The Undertaker vs. The Great Khali
King of the Ring Semi-Final Match
Chris Benoit vs. Mark Henry
King of the Ring Semi-Final Match
Kurt Angle vs. Booker T
WWE United States Championship
JBL vs. Matt Hardy vs. Finlay vs. Bobby Lashley (nothing to imply this will happen, but meh)
WWE Tag Team Championship
MNM vs. Paul London & Brian Kendrick (about fucking time)
Loser Leaves SmackDown! Match (or another outfit gimmick match)
Paul Burchill vs. William Regal
Cruiserweight Match
Super Crazy vs. Shannon Moore (maybe, if there's time)
If JD '06 looks anything like this, I will definately be ordering it.
