I really liked this PPV.Beniot vs Orlando Jordan- U.S championship No one liked the match because it was only 45 seconds. Get the hell over. Its being realistic. Its just silly and fake if every match is made out nicely. Just the right time. Your a idiot if you have a problem with this match. That shows that any thing can happen, Just like in real life. Isted of bitching about how short it was, Just larf and say 'wow he kicked his ass so fast' 5/10Edge vs Matt Hardy I LOVED this match, It showed how to men just HATED EACH OTHER. They didn't do in fancy wrestling, As soon as the match started they just started punching each other. I thought it was really cool. I watched in horror as they continued punching and punching. Soon one of them was just on the mat. The other just keeped kicking him in the head. It was a raw brutal fist fight. Nothing more, nothing less. At the end one wrestling was on his knees covered in blood. The other continued to larf and kick his bloody head. It was awesome. Most underrated match ever. Short but brutal. 10/10Rey Mysterio vs Eddie Guerrero Another example why WWE story lines are silly. But i got over that. The fight was over who was going to be a father of eddies child or something. It was a really good match with a lot of cool stunts from the ladder. There were points when i thought it was going to end, but the match went on. I was thinking GO REY GO REY GO REY!!. It was really close and a good ending. GREAT MATCH. 8/10Kurt Angle vs Eugene I love Kurt Angle. And i love seeing his great ring work. Eugenes gimmick is kind of silly. Hes a mildly retarded wrestler.. And there only so much you can do with him. But the match was kind of funny. 7/10 :D (lol what kinda of ass hole wrestler like Kurt angle would sit there beating up a metaly challenged person) :PRandy Orton vs Undertaker A pretty entertaining match between dead man and Orton. It was injoyeble.7/10John Cena vs Chris Jericho It was a good match. But... I don't no. I don't care for these wrestler to much. I don't hate them. Im just not there NO1 fan. But it was a good match. Very long, Close, Entertaining. Prehapes i didn't think it was the great because it was the 2nd long single match in a row? 7/10JBL vs Batista It was a nice match to watch. Short, But good, Batista went hard out. Throw him into the crowd. Etc 7/10Hulk Hogan vs HBK I really wanted to know who was going to win. My bet was that hogan was going to win. I loved the backstage promo. When HBK is acting like hogan. Making fun of him 10/10. The match it self was good. Though the end was stupid. The fans went nuts and thats what made the match great. I have mixed feeling about the winner. Im not sure what to think.Overall. Would i bye this PPV? Yea.. i would. It was a good PPV.

Good grief! McMahon has done it again! This PPV is in the excellence package along with earlier PPV's like One Night Stand, Judgment Day and Vengeance. This event drew 570,000 buys! In my opinion it had the Summerslam feel to it.Results from the show: Rey Mysterio defeated Eddie Guerrero in a cracker ladder match. However this storyline has ran its course and it should end right now!Chris Benoit beat Orlando Jordan in 25 seconds to win the US title.Edge beat Matt Hardy in a wild short match which featured Hardy splitting his head open.Batista defeated John 'Bradshaw' Layfield in a good match. Way better than their sh*te match at Great American Bash. JBL really suffers here as Batty powerbombs him through the steps! Kurt Angle defeated Eugene. Hey, did anyone else think that Eugene would win?! John Cena beat Chris Jericho to retain the Heavyweight Championship in a very good match! Yes, Cena was in a good match!Randy Orton pinned The Undertaker with help from his ole fella 'Cowboy' Bob Orton.Hulk Hogan pinned Shawn Michaels. OK, this wasn't going to be a Chris Benoit vs Kurt Angle technical masterpiece, but fans were eager to see this match happen because it hadn't been done before.The only disappointments were Shelton Benjamin or Christian were not used on the card, but those details aside, a solid effort! Overall Grade - A

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

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
