You don’t need best diet pill to help determine what the best undercard match was at the Judgment Day 2009 PPV for WWE. Hands down, it had to be Chris Jericho vs. Rey Mysterio.

While Rey-Rey is uneven and either rises or falls to the level of his opponent, Jericho has been WWE’s most consistent in-ring worker for the last year, and is showing no signs of slowing down at this point. The match felt a bit short at 12 minutes, but then Vince McMahon is rarely prone to run matches much longer than that outside of the main event.

It’s been predictable for a while, but Edge overcame Jeff Hardy in the show-topping PPV championship match at Judgment Day. The twenty-minute classic allowed both men high spots and plenty of in-ring psychology opportunities, but in the end, Hardy once again fell short of being trusted with the top belt in pro wrestling.

While Hardy isn’t exactly missing out on Westgate or anything, it’s unfortunate that WWE still hasn’t seen fit to give him an extended run with the strap; he’s clearly one of the company’s hardest in-ring workers, right up there with Chris Jericho.
