WWE SummerSlam 2005 Audience Reviews

Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
fullenw Hulk Hogan vs. Shawn Michaels - The start of this match was fun, as hard as it is to believe HBK being in control made this hard to watch.WWE Championship: John Cena vs. Chris Jericho - The crowd being split is what made this match enjoyable.World Championship: Batista vs. JBL - This being kept short and the No Holds Barred rules helped this match a lot.Matt Hardy vs. Edge - Way too short for Hardys return but the ending was unpredictable.Randy Orton vs. Undertaker - On par with their Wrestlemania matchEugene vs. Kurt Angle - Angle being so intense really added to this match. I loved his celebration at the end.Ladder Match: Eddie Guerrero vs. Rey Mysterio U.S. Championship:Orlando Jordan vs Chris Beniot - This was really really short but after their Great American Bash match you can see why.Fantastic show overall.
jcruickshank-2 WWE SummerSlam had a very interesting match card that it definitely lived up to with it's best matches being the No Holds Barred match between JBL and Batista, the main event of Hogan vs Shawn Michaels and of course the fantastic ladder match between Rey Mysterio and the late but great Eddie Guerrero. This event without a doubt beat last year's event and set a new standard for SummerSlam events.History was made in the very first match as Chris Benoit beat Orlando Jordan in a mere 28 seconds! Which made it the quickest match in the history of the U.S title and also a new champion was born! Unfortunately I don't think the two competitors had caught all of the fans attention by the end of the match but you could catch most of the match in the replay anyway. 5/10 Matt Hardy vs Edge didn't quite live up to its expectations as it was cut short but an excellent high risk move was performed in which Hardy was standing on the ring outside the ropes and Edge speared him out the ring and onto the arena floor. This is what WWE is here for, to entertain us by putting their bodies on the line. Edge won by TKO and we saw quite a bloody mess on Matt Hardy's face. 7/10 But the match that stole the show was the ladder match between Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio for the custody of Dominick. This match is my favourite ladder match of all time and both competitors put their body on the line with great sacrifice. This shows both competitor's passion to entertain the crowd and will go down as a legendary match in the history of both these men's careers. It was also one of Guerrero's last matches before his sudden death last November. My favourite move was when Rey threw Eddie onto a supporting ladder which Rey used to climb up and both ladders fell down. One of the main reasons I liked that move was because it seemed to of gone wrong. I also loved it when Rey was hanging on to the briefcase in the air and Eddie powerbombed him from there. Rey practically fell 15 feet to the mat. The crowd were loving every minute of it and hooked on every movement. Dominick was in the crowd and the camera showed his face throughout the match. Dominick is a good actor in my opinion and better then most child actors. Eddie I think was always good at playing the bad guy. Rey Mysterio eventually won this titanic battle and even the wrestler's real wifes got involved in the act. I give this great bout 10/10.Kurt Angle beat Eugene to win back his Olympic gold medals in a bout which I think was of only RAW and SmackDown! standards. But was far from bad. 5/10 Randy Orton beat the Undertaker in an enjoyable match, but not as good as their match at WrestleMania 21. When Cowboy Bob Orton jumped into the ring dressed as some crazy person, I thought that for once something like that might be legitimate as the commentators soon forgot about the matter straight away. You can expect acts like that in WWE but you never know when they are going to happen. 7/10 John Cena defeated Chris Jericho to retain his WWE title in a match that hooked the fans and at one point got them really cheering as loud as they could for Cena when he was in danger of tapping out. I could see the point that WWE was making here as the fans support gave Cena strength to put Jericho in the FU. I don't think anyone was expecting Jericho to be fired the next night but sometimes WWE is predictable and sometimes they've got some new ideas coming out of their sleeves. 6/10 The next good bout was Batista vs Bradshaw for the World Hevyweight title in a match that could of lasted longer but was nevertheless entertaining enough. Not often do we get the barricade separating the fans from the wrestlers knocked down. The Batista bomb to JBL onto the steel ring steps was something we saw a couple of months earlier at Vengeance in which Batista did the same to Triple H. But it was a pleasant reminder. Batista won to retain his title in a match I'd give an 8/10.Then came the main event that was better then most matches but not as good as the ladder match and that was Hulk Hogan vs Shawn Michaels. This match saw some good action and HBK being thrown ring. But there was nothing special or anything new seen in this match. Although we did see Hulk Hogan's face in such a state that one would think that his face had been torn apart. Hogan eventually came out on top. 8/10 In all I think that this SummerSlam set a good standard for the next SummerSlams to come. 9/10
terrell_lucas2005 Summerslam 2005 is a pretty big example of how wrestling has gone down over the years, watching that ppv was like watching Raw or Smackdown, only having to pay to watch it, Orton vs Taker and Cena vs Jericho were the only two matches I enjoyed, I expected a lot more action out of the Guerrero and Mysterio ladder match, Most of the event was a big disappointment, I nearly fell asleep in the Hogan and HBK match, being a fan of wrestling since i had baby teeth is a pain for me to see such an event, this suppose to be the second biggest wwe ppv event of the year, I suggest you keep your 35 bucks in your pocket for this one, it really isn't worth it
Astorrefb2 Folks i got to say the WWE finally gave us a show that was just wonderful. SInce Ecw One NIght Stand. SUmmerslam the Show was good Like the First match I say 30 Seconds Long Benoit wins the US Belt Finally someone good has it. And Even though it was 30 seconds it was still fun to watch because Benoit won. Next Edge and Hardy now with all the hype this match had it was a slight Disappointment how Edge won and so quickly . But the Spear through the ring ropes on to Hardy and straight to the floor was a keeper spot to say the least. Now the Match of the Night EDDIE VS> Rey Ladder. OOO MY lord this match was off the hook. And best the Feud should be over now as Rey won. Then a Match that was great because EUGENE got him Self BOOOED OUT OF THE Stadium. Angle vs. Eugene. I say it was a good match but the best part was the fact ANgle was loved in the DC and Eugene was Booed right out there. Orton vs. Taker NOw this proves one thing Taker is better with the quicker agile Atheletes more then the big slow guys. These two made each other look good on the match. Orton sadly won . but still have to say great generic match. Y2J and Cena's WWE title Match. I will say it finally Cena can perform a good match. If IF he has someone like Y2J or HBK or Angle with him. He needs someone really superior to his wrestling skill to work with to make it a good match. But this was a great wwe title match sadly Y2J lost.. Batista vs. JBL. To short But had a great powerbomb and I got some money from JBL. Last HBK vs. HOgan the Icon vs. Legend. Well No Bret hart thank god. But this match had all you needed. SHarpshooter Sweet Chin Music. Hulk up and Leg Drop and finally the Hand Shake. THis match was probably a great for Hogan as Hogan matches go.So all in all this Show Live was GREAT
