The Good: Armageddon 2004 was host to two pretty damn good matches, the opener and the main event, which bookended a show that was, on the whole, very mediocre. Rey Mysterio & Rob Van Dam's Tag Team Title defence against the long-forgotten duo of Kenzo Suzuki and Rene Dupree was a spirited affair. These two duos had surprising amounts of chemistry between them. The main event saw Eddie Guerrero, Booker T and The Undertaker - three men who had been screwed over by JBL within the last six months - take on the WWE Champion in a fatal four way. The match was exciting, if not a little disjointed at times. The highlights were undoubtedly whenever Latino Heat and The Deadman interacted with each other. It's a damn shame we never got a feud between those two. Based on the evidence here, it would have been great stuff. The Bad: The boxing match between Tough Enough finalists Daniel Puder and Mike Mizanin had no place being on a wrestling PPV. The contest wasn't very good, although The Miz surprisingly managed to hold his own and not get knocked the f*** out by the vastly more experience Puder. Hardcore Holly & Charlie Haas vs. The Bashamas and Funaki vs. Spike Dudley were both Velocity-calibre bouts. No one in the arena cared, even if the work itself wasn't terrible or anything. Big Show's 3-on-1 handicap match against Mark Jindrak, Luther Reigns and Kurt Angle was...yeah. It was just yeah, yeah? Show finished off Jindrak with an F5, a direct shot at Brock Lesnar (who had recently been shown sitting ringside at a New Japan Pro Wrestling event). The Rest: The knackered Angle actually pulled doubly duty at the show - earlier in the night he caused Santa Claus to tap out to an Angle Lock. What a heel.
