#9 Judgement Day 2006
Judgement Day 2006 was a pretty solid event. Smackdown had much to prove with this event, they were reviving the King of The Ring tournament for the first time in four years, WWE's latest giant The Great Khali was poised to be dominant and this was WWE's last chance to turn Rey Mysterio's then horrible World title reign around.
Trending
The show opened up with MNM defending their WWE Tag Team Championships with Paul London and Brian Kendrick. This was a solid fast-paced opener with the right result, the previously misused London and Kendrick came out on top.
MNM's Melina had a surprisingly entertaining four-minute match with Jillian Hall, the fans that night didn't care for it but it was good while it lasted.
Gregory Helms retained his WWE Cruiserweight Championship over Super Crazy in a decent match, a nice mix of high flying and mat-based action. Mark Henry got a count out win over Kurt Angle. If Henry was going to beat Angle, at least it went down that way as this was at a time when Henry wasn't good in the ring. Angle got something good out of him here though.
Booker T defeated Bobby Lashley to become King of The Ring. The ending was a little screwy as Finlay aided Booker in his win, but up until that point it had been a pretty solid match. Booker was a great heel during this time, it really showed here.
The Great Khali pinned The Undertaker next. Not only the only dud of the evening but possibly the worst match of 2006 here. Kahli pinned Taker after a boot to the chest, it was horrible. At least he looked like the monster WWE were hoping for.
The Main event saw Rey Mysterio pin JBL in a surprisingly exciting match, and one of the better matches of Bradshaw's career. This one finally proved that Mysterio's title reigns weren't a complete waste.
The best match of the night came earlier in the show, Chris Benoit and Finlay had a technical masterpiece, a fine encounter and one of the best WWE matches of 2006.
