WWE One Night Stand 2008 Review
Jeff Hardy defeated Umaga in a Falls Count Anywhere match (9:27)
Hardy pinned Umaga after a Swanton Bomb off a parking lot semi-trailer.
**1/2
Just a generic Attitude brawl.
The Big Show defeated CM Punk, John Morrison, Chavo Guerrero (w/Bam Neely) and Tommy Dreamer in a Singapore Cane match (8:35)
Big Show pinned Dreamer after hitting him with a Singapore cane to earn an ECW Championship match at Night of Champions.
**1/2
Better than I thought it would be.
John Cena defeated John "Bradshaw" Layfield (JBL) in a First Blood match (14:30)
JBL bled from the mouth while Cena applied the STFU with a chain around his neck.
**3/4
Also better than I thought it would be. I hope this rivalry is over though.
Beth Phoenix defeated Melina in an "I Quit" match (9:14)
Melina said "I quit" while Phoenix had her in a modified chickenwing.
**1/2
Not bad for a Divas match.
Batista defeated Shawn Michaels in a Stretcher match (17:00)
Batista placed Michaels on a stretcher and pushed it across the line after he delivered a Spinebuster on Michaels onto the steel ring steps.
***1/4
Probably should have been a little better.
Triple H defeated Randy Orton in a Last Man Standing match to retain the WWE Championship (13:15)
Orton failed to answer the ten-count after Triple H hit him with a sledgehammer.
During the match, Orton legitimately broke his collarbone.
**1/2
The match was really starting to get good when the injury happened.
Edge defeated The Undertaker in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match to win the vacant World Heavyweight Championship (23:50)
Edge won the match by retrieving the belt suspended above the ring.
Per the pre-match stipulation, Undertaker was forced to leave WWE.
***1/2
I don't love this match like most do. It jsut felt like big spots that we've all seen before and you could see them coming a mile away. I mean, most matches like this you can see the spots coming, but not this obvious.
~ Another solid show but probably the weakest PPV of the year.

WWE Judgement Day 2008 Review
Cena opening the show and a cage match as the main event...what is this...Raw?
John Cena defeated John "Bradshaw" Layfield (JBL) (15:09)
Cena pinned JBL after an FU.
**1/4
Solid enough opener.
John Morrison and The Miz defeated Kane and CM Punk to retain the WWE Tag Team Championship (7:30)
Morrison pinned Punk after a Moonlight Drive.
**1/2
Standard stuff.
Shawn Michaels defeated Chris Jericho (15:56)
Michaels pinned Jericho after countering the Walls of Jericho into a straddle pin.
****
Not as good as their Mania XIXmatch but still really strong.
Mickie James defeated Beth Phoenix and Melina in a Triple Threat match to retain the WWE Women's Championship (4:55)
Mickie pinned Melina after a Mickie DT.
**
About as good a women's match as you'll ever get for less thatn 5 minutes.
The Undertaker defeated Edge by countout for the vacant World Heavyweight Championship (16:30)[4]
SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero declared the title would remain vacant since a championship cannot be decided by countout.
***3/4
Still like their Backlash match a little more. On par with Wrestlemania.
Jeff Hardy defeated Montel Vontavious Porter (MVP) (9:50)
Jeff pinned MVP after a Whisper in the Wind.[16]
*3/4
Just thrown on here and it showed.
Triple H defeated Randy Orton in a Steel Cage match to retain the WWE Championship (21:20)[3]
Triple H pinned Orton after a steel chair shot and a Pedigree.
***
Generic cage match best describes this.
