Wwe: Summerslam 2005 [DVD]

Orlando Jordan vs Chris Benoit (US title)A remarkable opening and easily the quickest match you will ever see and it was actually rather funny to. 8/10Matt Hardy vs EdgeThe build up to this was very good with the real life occurrences between Lita and Edge and we see the animosity all the way through a, once more, very short encounter. Thankfully the cage match at Unforgiven was great for retribution 8/10Rey Mysterio vs Eddie GuerreroThis ladder match for the custody of Eddie's "biological" son had some great swings and moves, particularly from the late Guerrero who always shone as a heel. Ending was obvious though 8/10Eugene vs Kurt AngleSeeing wrestlers like Eugene and Hornswoggle makes me despise the company today and this is why. Eugene uses no original move and thankfully Angle shows why he is the best wrestler, and performer, of all time. 6/10Undertaker vs Randy OrtonWrestlemania rematch was all guns blazing as Orton tried to scamper numerous times and the Undertaker is never, in his whole career, boring. The ending was quite shocking to 8/10Batista vs JBL (No holds barred world title match)Brutal fist fights and a powerbomb of a climax but this was surprisingly exceptionally short and rather forgettable. 5/10John Cena vs Chris JerichoThis match has the most ridiculous outcome imaginable.Jericho, in arguably his most dominant performance in his career, is in cruise control and high flying entertaining action. Cena seriously hits about 3 big moves, this is all Y2J. Great atmosphere here as half the crowd chant "Let's go Cena" then the others chant "Let's go Jericho" 8/10Hulk Hogan vs Shawn MichaelsA reasonable climax. Given the build up and terms and everything involved it boiled down to some risky moments involving chairs, low blows etc. Hogan bleeds profusely pretty much all the way through. There was only ever going to be one ending.7/10A very good consistent PPV with many surprises, none bigger than the first match but certainly worth checking out.8/10

Decent ppv, superstars performed well. The best of confidental was good aswell if you are interested in behind the scenes action.Shows kicks off with a six man tag, dudleys vs rey mysterio, kidman and paul london. Good opener fast paced action with some near falls every superstar involved got to show off a little bit and the dudleys would win in the end.Up next matt hardy went up against kane in a til death do us part match which means lita marries the winner. The match was alright, quite short but long enough kane wins which makes sense as lita was pregnant with his child at the time.Next up, the first match in a best of 5 series for the united states championship between booker T and cena. Once again a relatively short match up with john cena winning clean after hitting the FU. Good opening match to the series, set the tempo for the next matches.A triple threat match for the I-C title next between edge, jericho and batista. Good match all three tried hard and put in good performances edge wins in the end even though Y2J was getting cheered more than edge in his hometown lol.Next up a rematch from wrestlemania 20 between eddie and angle. Decent match cant really fault it. Had some good action from technical wrestling and hard hitting shots, kurt wins.Triple H vs eugene next in a bit of pointless match but hey ho thats wrestling for you. Triple H as you can imagine wins. Eugene got in a suprising amount of momentum hitting various of superstars finish moves. However triple H wins by hitting the pedigree.Diva dodgeball next and why notJBL defends the wwe title against undertaker next up and JBL retains. Undertaker isnt happy with this and procedes to batter the living daylights out of him cutting him open in the process. He then chokeslams him through the limo in an epic spot.Finally, its main event time and orton takes on benoit for the world heavyweight title. A good match here back and forth encounter. Benoit takes some heavy hits to the head and a suicide dive into the barricade and hiting ortons knee after a diving headbutt. Ortons wins with an rko out of knowhere making him the youngest world champion at the time at just 24 years of age.Good ppv worth a watch
