Have I missed something?
Batista isn't booked for Judgement Day? What's going on?

I wouldn't say you've been missing it, Bob /Office Space
Nah, he's gonna interfere in the HBK/Jericho match or something with that. Why they couldn't put him on the card somewhere I don't know. He spent a month doing nothing after his match with HBK. |

Blatantly obviously that Craptista is gonna interfere into HBK/Jericho. Probably costing HBK the match.

I like this. As much as I don't care for Batista, I like the return to the old days where a guy doesn't have to be on the card to be involved in the angle.

Batista's got it in his contract that he misses two PPV title matches a year. No more, no less.

I'm a bit unhappy with the card to be honest. There was only six matches last time I checked and only the main event titles are on the line. This is an example of why interpromotional pay per views should be less prevalent.

Is Bats still on Smackdown? I mean, is he just feuding with Michaels, or is he on Raw now?
Once House is over, I'll probably at least try and watch some Raw, but.... |

Without attempting to insult you as a person, I find it strange that anyone can find House as entertaining -- or moreso -- than WWE.

House generally draws double or better the ratings than WWE does, so I'm not sure what's strange about it. In fact, WWE's been school by reruns of House on USA before.
Although, it's incredibly strange that I like something popular. |

This PPV does seem pretty lackluster and half assed. Seems like there's no hype heading into it, and there's only 6 matces announced. This is just down to too many PPV's these days. We had decent build heading into Backlash because they were given a good 5 or so weeks to work with coming off of Wrestlemania. Now just 3 weeks later we have Judgment Day, which I'm sure hardly anyone knows that it's tonight, and then in just 2 weeks it's One Night Stand! Ridiculous.

Well it is pretty obvious that Dancing Dave is gonna either interfere or do color commentary.

Batista isn't on the card because neither Edge or Undertaker are injured.
EDIT- I'm feeling pretty underwhelmed about this card, just seems like a bunch of TV matches or repeats of matches we've already seen recently. I think I'll just torrent it in the morning and skip through. Last edited by Tommy Gunn; 05-18-2008 at 06:40 PM. |

Batista's absence from the PPV was pretty puzzling, but I think we'll see Chris Jericho call out Batista on not being good for his word, and we'll see a three-way feud develop between the three, probably in time for Night of Champions, where they have a Triple Threat Match for the IC Title (I think we'll be seeing lots of main eventers in title matches to get big stars on the card alongside the championships).

Reruns of RAW from 1998 > New House > Reruns of House > New WWE
Yeah, if the WWE is ever worried about ratings, or USA for that matter, then all they need to do is rerun some old RAWs. It also would save them a lot of money. |

Not that I agree with you about House, but professional wrestling tops that list.

And I think they could probably get ratings from a recast of old Raws. Even a sort of best of to hype WWE 24/7.

And I sometimes doubt my passion for wrestling, but then I watch old videos and stuff and the mark-out feeling I get watching it just takes them doubts away. Usually I get this with older videos, but there are recent-ish PPV's I watch and get the same mark-feeling, so I know it's not just nostalgia. I think it really is just that today's product is so bland. |

For the record, I enjoy House. I think I repped Kane Knight for it once.

A show clearly based on Sherlock Holmes is unlikely to be very original.

That's part of it's genius, really. It's intelligent and witty enough to attract more critical tastes, but it's formulaic and simple enough bring in the midwestern crowd.
