Last night’s WWE Judgment Day PPV turned out a lot like this year’s NBA Playoffs thus far: no upsets, modest levels of excitement, good performances by workmanlike professionals, but ultimately a lackluster show. No titles changed, no blood, and no can’t-miss moments. Although the Y2J – Shawn Michaels match came close.
In fact, if you had looked at the WWE’s own pre-Judgment Day Power 25 rankings you would have known the winner in all four planned singles matches. All the top seeds won.

Did anyone hear what happened two Fridays ago on SmackDown? They’ve only repeated the highlights about a dozen times. But in case you you didn’t catch any of this week’s shows SmackDown GM Vickie Guerrero stripped the World Heavyweight Championship from The Undertaker. Why? She claimed that his devastating choke hold has caused too many injuries “to superstars” and has even damaged “a larnyx (sic)” and as a result she had to take the belt away. She also vehemently denied that her actions were related to her fiance’s (Edge) above experience (see picture) with said choke slam.
