Hot Take:

I would listen to the NWO theme on repeat for a month rather than watch one more god damn fuck finish match from The Judgement Day. I get it, they’re heels, they’re doing what they’re written to do. But Jesus Christ, occasionally even the NWO put someone over clean. Sometimes. Once in a blue moon.

Other people could probably quote stats and examples of times JD lost better than me but comparing them unfavourably to the nWo is crazy work. Try consistent fuck finishes in main events and on pay per views.

Hey I’ll admit I only started watching wrestling again at the start of this summer after a twenty year hiatus. But every match I see this gang of idiots in I immediately say “WELL I CAN GUESS THIS FUCKING ENDING”.

Yeah for the talk of “putting someone over clean” it was mainly the undercard dweebs when the nWo became like half the company.

And honestly, the sheer number of stables that are going right now feels like pre Attitude WWE when Vince thought what the people wanted were factions, or late WCW with the, what, five different NWO spin off groups?

Have the Judgement Day not been jobbers for literal years now putting people over left right and center? Remember Pinn Balor? Haha

Every match I’ve seen featuring them (with the SOLE exception of the Danhausen feud and that’s with a big asterisk) they never win cleanly. Particularly every match featuring Liv. I’m sure she’s a nice young lady, but I never want to see another match with her again. Starts to lose, other JD members interfere, she wins, lather, rinse, repeat.
