WWE Judgment Day 2002 Reviews: WoW  2008-03-17 - After looking at what people were charging for this PPV, I just wanted to say thank you to WWE 24/7. They aired this PPV sometime last year and I recorded it and it only costs me $7.00 a month. A great deal if the price of these PPV's keeps going up.
Good PPV with an FU from Amazon Sellers  2007-09-26 - JUDGMENT DAY 2002 was a very significant event in WWE history. It was the first-ever WW'E' pay-per-view, the 2nd PPV after the RAW/SMACKDOWN brand split, a "sequel" to the previous month's BACKLASH event, and a night that included all sorts of superstar trivia. History aside, this 2002 edition was one of the few JUDGMENT DAY cards I enjoyed. However, unlike most reviews where I just score a match, this time I'll discuss the unavoidable question: "Is is worth the money?"
1) Intercontinental Championship
Eddie Guerrero (champion) v. Rob Van Dam
---The rematch from BACKLASH, where RVD lost his belt to Guerrero. This was a solid opener between two athletes who never disappointed me. Sadly, not quite as good as their BACKLASH or famous RAW Ladder Match from a few weeks later. I found this encounter to be a little too one-sided for most of the match. But if you decide to check this DVD out, you won't be disappointed.
"7.0 / 10"
2) Women's Championship
Stacy Keibler (w/ Reverend D-Von & Deacon Batista)
v. Trish Stratus (champion - w/ Bubba Ray Dudley)
---I don't usually type who accompanies wrestlers to the ring, but this time, having the Dudleys from different brands at ringside is just as important as the match itself. First about the Divas match, it's nothing special, but I still enjoyed it. It's fast-paced and fairly crisp by Keibler's standards. But the real star of the show is the Dudleys' rivalry. This was one of those average matches that didn't bother me at all.
"5.0 / 10"
3) Brock Lesnar & Paul Heyman v. The Hardy Boyz
---If you saw any part of Lesnar's WWE debut, you know what to expect. If you've ever seen a non-wrestler compete in tag action, you know what to expect. If you saw Jeff and Brock at BACKLASH 2002, you know what to expect. Catch my drift? Anyway, this wasn't anything special, but mostly entertaining. Things were kept to a nice pace; since Brock was undefeated, the crowd was pretty immersed during the match.
"6.0 / 10"
4) 1-on-2 Handicap Match
Stone Cold Steve Austin v. Ric Flair & Big Show
---Talk about a strange scenario - The Texas Rattlesnake against the RAW GM and a giant member of a weird New World Order combo. I'm not Austin's biggest fan, but I really enjoyed this one. I think it was because he convinced me that one guy could take on these odds and win. Handicap Matches tend to drag because of the two-man advantage, but everything flowed relatively well this time. Quick side note: this was Austin's last WWE PPV for 9 months, because he quit just a month later.
"7.0 / 10"
5) Hair vs Hair
Kurt Angle v. Edge
---Everybody calls their BACKLASH showdown the Match of the Year candidate, but I actually prefer this one. The hair-cutting stipulation adds more to the contest. Also, I just found this one to be more intense and exciting. Another neat touch is that the hair-cutting didn't happen afterwards. The haircut didn't happen until after a few more matches, not to mention the victor almost ended up in the barber seat. Sometimes when two guys pair up, you stop playing the comparison game. With Angle and Edge, it doesn't matter which one you watch - it's gonna be awesome!
"8.5 / 10"
6) Hell-In-A-Cell Match
Chris Jericho v. Triple H
---In my opinion (and most reviewers' that I've read), Jericho/HHH at WRESTLEMANIA X-8 was solid, but disappointing. We all seem to prefer this Cell Match, and for very good reason. These two give each other a beating that gives their Last Man Standing Match a run for its money. Like most of the great Cell Matches, things start off with some traditional wrestling. But soon wrestling becomes a slugfest. Then from the slugfest we got to "cell wall" spots, then onto the weapons, then to the outside. I take the time to list these details because HHH and Jericho give each kind of "fight" sufficient time to build and deliver a sweet payoff. This is often known as the "forgotten Cell Match", but it deserves to be remembered among the best of them.
"8.5 / 10"
7) Tag Team Championships
Billy & Chuck (champions) v. Rikishi & Rico
---I loved Billy & Chuck. I thought Rico was a funny manager. And I believe Rikishi was as underrated as they come. The setup is that Rikishi's mystery partner was the champs' manager. To be honest, these four guys are working their butts off the put on a solid contest, but the crowd just didn't care. Sometimes I can ignore a harsh crowd, but this time I couldn't.
"5.0 / 10"
8) Undisputed WWE Championship
The Undertaker v. Hollywood Hulk Hogan (champion)
---This main event was a mixed bag. To me, Taker and Hogan always had good chemistry. I loved the storyline of Taker getting a shot at the man whom he won his first title from. The crowd was crazy for this once the bell rang. Also, Hogan pulled off a few moves I hadn't seen him perform before. My big nitpicks are that the match is short, Hogan couldn't go as well as he used to (obviously), and the interference towards the end was getting silly after a while. All in all, I kinda liked watching these two go again, but I think my nostalgia's getting the better of me.
"6.5 / 10"
OVERALL
---Should you buy WWE JUDGMENT DAY 2002? Well, it's a pretty good card that includes a few goodies you can't find on DVD right now. Taker/Hogan are on the TOMBSTONE: HISTORY OF UNDERTAKER DVD, but the other goodies have only been available on WWE 24/7 or On Demand from time to time. The PPV flows well, and aren't any godawful stinkers.
I think the Amazon sellers' prices are a little high. I've spent a lot of money on some hard-to-find DVDs, like VENGEANCE 2002 or the WWF WRESTLEMANIA DVDs. But I don't think this one's worth quite that much. It's just not a Must-See DVD. Let me be clear: JUDGMENT DAY 2002 is a good PPV that rarely gets stale. If you choose to dish out the money, I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy it as much as I did.
I went to this pay per view  2007-04-11 - I went to this pay per view, this was one of the best pay per view i have ever been to. It happen on sunday may 19, 2002 at the Gaylord Entertainment center
The best macth was the hell in a cell macth with hhh and Chris Jericho
Great PPV  2007-01-13 - This is a really great ppv. Its just to damn bad its hard to get. There are three great matches on this card which are:
Edge vs Kurt Angle
Eddie Guerrero vs RVD
Triple H vs Jericho
This ppv is worth your money.
WHAT!?!?!?  2007-01-01 - You're kidding me.You must be INSANE if you're crazy enough to buy this.Sure, I have this PPV (I got it for free because my friend Zack ordered the PPV back in 2002 and taped it).All I have to say is that if you're planning on buying this PPV for that crazy price of $100 or more is that it's not worth it.Maybe if it was $30, but not $100.
Anyways pretty much the only matches worth the money is Austin vs. Flair & Big Show and HHH vs. Jericho HIAC (Hell In A Cell)
