Owen Ogletree 2005 was a great year for the WWE, and this was probably the best Pay-Per-View from that year. The undercard was pretty solid and the three main event matches were all great.Intercontinental Championship Match: Carlito (c) vs. Shelton Benjamin - This was a pretty good opener. These two are good workers and they have nice chemistry. The match was well-wrestled and was given a decent amount of time. Carlito retains the title by pulling the tights. RATING: ***Edge vs. Kane - Surprisingly, this match was also pretty good. Edge managed to carry Kane pretty well and the match didn't overstay its welcome. Surprisingly, despite Edge's push, Kane gets the win with a Chokeslam. RATING: ***Shawn Michaels vs. Kurt Angle - This match had a lot to live up to being that it is a rematch to one of the greatest matches of all time, and it really managed to deliver. While not quite as good as their first bout, this was still another amazing match between these two. Their chemistry is still stellar and they really bring each other to their limits. Shawn Michaels gets the win with a Superkick in midair. RATING: ****1/2Triple Threat Match for the WWE Championship: John Cena (c) vs. Chris Jericho vs. Christian - This was a great triple threat match. All three men worked well together, and the match was filled with plenty of exciting spots. Cena was still getting used to main event status, and he put on a good performance here. John Cena retains the Championship with an FU to Christian. RATING: ****Hell In A Cell Match for the World Heavyweight Championship: Batista (c) vs. Triple H - While their first two Pay-Per-View matches were above average, their HIAC match is fantastic. It was a great bloody war that moved at a blistering pace and had a brilliant finish. Batista retains his Championship and ends his feud with his former mentor once and for all with a Batista Bomb. RATING: ****1/2This is a must-own show. It has just about anything a wrestling fan could want in a wrestling event, and it is a great showcase of how good 2005 really was.RATING: A

Ikepoiyen668894 Easily the best one brand show of the year, though thats maybe because this was during the draft and cena angle had just moved to raw whilst batista was still on raw so both titles were up for grabs1. Shelton Benjamin Vs Carlito(IC TITLE) IC TITLE MATCH7/10 crowd are great in this match a good 50 50 feel. not much technical wrestling but good nevertheless...the ending though i believe was fluffed by benjamin as he literally seems to intentionally head butt the exposed turnbuckle.2. Victoria Vs Christy4/10 Trish isn't in it so its obviously not good ..although christys performance is her best yet..even though shes booed by the crowd.3. Kane Vs Edge7/10 Good Match . crowd ROARRRRRRRR at the ending, which is a surprise.4. Kurt Angle Vs Shawn Michaels7.5/10 no way near as good as their mania match, i also think some people over rated this match just because their mania match was so good . still a very good match. hbk delivers some really good sweet chin music.There's a segment in which lilian asks viscera to marry her..godfather returns to a great ovation and viscera rejects lilian leaving her sweet pretty face crying in the ring.5. John Cena(WWE CHAMPION) vs Christian Vs Chris Jericho WWE CHAMPI0NSHIP MATCH8/10 Once again Cena performs exceptionally at a pay per view ..provides a quality piece of entertainment with a double five knuckle shuffle to Christian and jericho at the same time which the crowd loves..a few minor false finishes but nothing more but all in all a very good triple threat match. More entertaining then technical.6. Batista(WORLD CHAMP) Vs Triple H HELL IN THE CELL7/10 Was a good match .duh because its in a cell but the most OVER RATED hell in the cell match of all time... good beatings given out .especially with the barb wire rapped around the chair... a nice ending as well because you think something will happen during the match conclusion but it doesn't.

wrestlingsitewebmaster WWE must be proud of themselves. Vengeance was a fine PPV and all of the wrestlers worked hard. This PPV reminds me of Backlash in April.Results from Vengeance are as follows: - Carlito defeated Shelton Benjamin to retain the IC title in a decent match. However I can't help noticing that Carlito sucks as IC champ and all of the other wrestlers who were very good IC champs such as Shawn Michaels, Razor Ramon and the legendary Bret Hart must feel insulted.Victoria pinned Christy Hemme in a fair Women's match. Yes you read that correctly Hemme was in a good match.Kane defeated Edge in a very good match.Shanwn Michaels defeated Kurt Angle in a scorching match. This is what I call wrestling.John Cena defeated Christian and Chris Jericho to retain the WWE title in a decent match. Yes, you read that correctly again Cena was in a decent match. Perhaps Cena and Hemme are an item? - Batista defeated Triple H in a superb Hell in a Cell. Again HHH losing to Batty 3 times in a row makes this writer wonder if Triple H has finally seen the light.Overall Grade - A

BunkhouseTito Vengeance 2005 was above average for today's WWE pay-per-views. On paper, it looked as though only 6 matches would detract from the show but at a closer look, three of those matches could main event any show the WWE puts out and two of the others were strong matches in themselves. Most of the matches were given more time to build a better story and allowed the fans to soak it all in.MATCH REVIEWS - Once again I'll try to keep it short and spoiler free.INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP Carlito (Champion) vs Shelton Benjamin This was a good, solid match that was almost as good as their match on RAW previously. Although this was good, it seems that these two wrestlers could have a match that is much better and that they just don't click together in the ring. Hopefully, they can get used to working with each other and give us the match I know they want to have.Victoria vs Christy Hemme This was the gratuitous and time-filling ladies match. Victoria did an excellent job of carrying Christy to easily her best match (shouldn't have been too hard to top her previous ones). I think Christy must have been working pretty hard as I can see vast improvement since her WrestleMania match. Is it just me or does anyone else think that Christy is even hotter when she looks angry?Kane vs Edge with Lita Again, I think a solid match but could have been better. Lita is debuting her new "Slut of the Century" gimmick and I must say, she looked the part (and I'm not complaining). This match was littered with "We Want Matt", "You Screwed Matt" and "She's A Crack Whore" chants, which seemed to upset Lita (especially the crack whore one). Throw in some needless Gene Snitsky interference and you have your match. They could have done better here.Shawn Michaels vs Kurt Angle This was, like WrestleMania, the match of the night and where the entire show began to pick up. Angle vs Michaels II was another match where it seemed nothing could go wrong. I have read reports saying this match was on par with their WrestleMania match but I believe it was not quite at that level, although still a great match and definite Match of the Year candidate. Michaels seemed to be injured at the end but still put on a great match. If you have not seen Vengeance 2005, then this match alone is worth it.WWE CHAMPIONSHIP John Cena (Champion) vs Christian vs Chris Jericho This was one of Cena's better matches, possibly his best. How can he go wrong with Christian and Jericho in there with him? I think Cena has gotten a bad reputation as a worker and I believe he is better than being given credit for. It seems that certain wrestlers expose his weaknesses while others can cover them up, which is the mark of a great wrestler. Jericho and Christian both fall into this category. This was a great Triple Threat match. Hopefully, Christian gets his due. He is deserving of a nice push.WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP HELL IN THE CELL MATCH Batista (Champion) vs Triple H Batista is obviously learning a lot from wrestling guys like Triple H and Kurt Angle, among others. He has been put on the fast track and is forced to learn quickly. He's not the greatest worker but he fits the part of a world champion in a big way. Triple H wanted to prove he could do a hardcore match in the WWE style and make it good. This was a good, bloody match. Along the way, we saw some barbed wire chairs, sledgehammers and the ring stairs being used. When all was said and done, I thought the finish of this match elevated the whole thing. That was one of the greatest match finishes I have seen. It even had me fooled.Overall, the 3 big matches made the event worth watching. Both Cena and Batista are put in a position to make or break themselves. Obviously, the odds are with Batista more than Cena, being backed by Triple H and all, but I think there is room there for both of them. I think Cena needs to work on new ways to finish his match. The FU is becoming like Hulk Hogan's leg drop. That was the only way Hogan knew how to finish a match. Given that there were not much in time restraints, the matches were better which made the event better, above average even. 8.5/10
