Ranking WWE Judgment Day PPVs - From Worst To Best

The Good

The midcard delivered some good matches, if nothing else. Christian, in his very first televised match, won the Light-heavyweight Title from TAKA Michinoku in a good match. He'd lose it a month later to Gillberg, true, but it's the thought that counts.

Following that match were two really good ones. First, Goldust beat Val Venis in a match that was being foguht over Terri Runnels. Then D-Lo Brown (one of the unsung heroes of the Attitude Era) and X-Pac had a belter over the European Championship.

Following those were a halfway decent New Age Outlaws versus Headbangers match and an IC Title match between Mankind and Ken Shamrock, which had a very creative finish.

The Bad

The Undertaker versus Kane headliner - with Steve Austin as the guest referee - was the pits. It was just slow and plodding and not very good at all. These two had little chemistry with each other, actually, outside of their WrestleMania XIV match. To top it all off, Austin declared himself the winner when both men were counted down. Dumb, dumb, dumb...

The start of the show had useless filler like Marc Mero (whose WWE career was quite clearly nearing its end) taking on Al Snow and LOD 2000 & Droz versus the DOA.

The Rest

The event drew 18,153 to the Rosemont Horizon in Illinois. WWE sure could pack them in during this particular era.
