Is anyone buying Judgement Day?

It really does look the pits. It's possibly the most uninspiring line-up I've ever seen... actually, at least since December To Disappoint anyway. Other than the awful Raw main event and the at least somewhat fresh yet barely promoted World title match, every match is a rematch we have seen recently. Michaels vs Orton, MVP vs Benoit, Hardys vs Cade/Murdoch.... we've seen them all at least once in the last few months. Burke vs Punk is about the only fresh match on the undercard.

I mean, I understand that in the modern world of big TV matches every week, we are bound to get re-runs, but so soon? How many opportunities should MVP really get at the US title, from a kayfabe standpoint? Are there NO other challengers, that a guy can continually come up short yet remain number one contender?

For the record, I am actually buying it, but only because watching the PPVs in a crew round my place has become something of a tradition again since the Royal Rumble. If it wasn't for the social side of it, I would not be watching this PPV tonight.

By the way, I'll probably start a Play-By-Play thread later with results for those interested, but it won't be as detailed as my past PBP threads as I'll have company here.
