8. Judgment Day 2005
Judgment Day 2005 was another SmackDown affair that looked so-so on paper but turned out very enjoyable indeed.
In the main event, John Cena retained his WWE Title against JBL In a brutal and bloody I Quit match. The first real test for Cena since winning the big one, he put it all on the line to deliver a worthy show-closer and start his reign on a high note.
In the other major match, former WWE Tag Team Champion partners turned enemies Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero clashed in a heated and compelling outing that was markedly different from their other meetings.
In another grudge match, Booker T got a victory over Kurt Angle, who had been targeting Booker's wife Sharmell for weeks with some, erm, rather lewd behaviour. Typically decent bout from two pros.
Elsewhere, new tag champs MNM beat Charlie Haas & Hardcore Holly in a lively opener and Paul London eked out a Cruiserweight Title defense against the ever-dependable Chavo Guerrrero.
There's not much to see with Big Show versus Carlito or Orlando Jordan defending the United States Title against Heidenreich, but they're brief interludes and don't do enough damage to drag the show down.
