Summerslam 2005
in 2005 a pay-per-view took place in Washington DC it was called SummerSlam. it featured the following mathes: --Orlando Jordan defends his United States Championship against Chris benoit-The only comments I will make, is that it was way too short! Chris gets slapped in da face by Orlando, does a German Suplex and hits the Crippler Crossface...ding-ding! The end. 3/5 --Up next, Matt has been dating Lita for six years, he gets injured...while healing he finds out Lita has been dating Edge. Matt gets pissed off, he attacks Edge, thus leading into Summerslam (For the record; this is around the time Lita quits WWE, due to so many fans taunting her by shouting "you screwed Matt!") It was highly anticipated...but it was too short and nothing really happens besides the fact that Matt Hardy got busted open. This was one of this matches that didn't live up to its hype. in the end, Edge wins. 2/5 --Finally one of the best matches that I've ever witnessed! Eddie Guerrero proves that he really can beat Rey mysterio, which is pretty much much why they had a that crazy-ass feud. This match is between Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio: Eddie loses to Rey at W21, Eddie beats Rey at Judgement Day--though actually Eddie was disqaulified but Eddie 'owned' Rey so it's technically a victory. Eddie knows a secret about Rey's son Dominick, which leads to the Great American Bash where Eddie loses--but he lies, and reveals that Eddie is actually Dominick's father, not Rey. Then Eddie draws up Custody Papers for Dominick, Rey challenges for a Ladder Match at SummerSlam, Eddie agrees; The winner, gains...custody of Dominick. You can expect a lot of action in a ladder match but this match, is by far the best! I don't want to give all the good stuff away so let me put it in a different way...Rey's luchadore/high flying skills match perfectly with Eddie's Technical/dirty skills, this match has so many OMG moments. it is an instant classic. To simply summarize the match, Mysterio and Guerrero tore the house down! It was arguably the best match of that year! It really is that good, see, to me--this match IS the Pay per View! The timing is perfect, the bumps look realistic, it's a shame how everyone focuses on the Michaels-Hogan match, which sucked...the Guerrero-Mysterio Ladder Match is a true Match, Wrestling with an Extreme Environment. 5/5 --The next match is between Eugene vs Kurt Angle for Angle's Gold Medal: er...nothing good or bad about this match except that Kurt simply dominates the whole time, unto Eugene starts copying finishers from WWE Legends-ex. Rock Bottom and the People's Elbow from the Rock, and Stone Cold's Stunner, hell even Kurt's own Ankle lock. but in the end kurt wins after forcing Eugene to tap with the Ankle Lock! 3.5/5 --Next Undertaker takes on the Legend Killer, Randy Orton: The match was rather enjoyable, but nothing special, just another typical match but it was all right. Randy powerslams Undertaker, wow, I didn't think anyone could power-slam the Undertaker considering how overrated he is! Undertaker simply pushes Randy away after attempting the RKO! Undertaker attempts Tombstone, then Randy attempts Tombstone, then and finally Undertaker hits the tombstone! but some guy distracts Undertaker, allowing Randy to hit the RKO, Randy wins. 3/5 --The following match is for the WWE Championship! Between John Cena and Chris Jericho: it was actually pretty good, I was rooting for Jericho, man! I was dissapointed by the result but the match itself had a lot of back-and-forth action. Both superstars hit their finishers and signature moves on each other and it was pretty entertaining. Finally Cena wins with an F-U, what kind of finisher is that anyways? 4/5 --The next match is for, the World Heavyweight Championship! Between Batista and JBL in a No-Disqualification Match: Okay again a big anticipated match but it didn't live up to its hype. Then again, it is JBL and Batista, two big dudes who can barely move in the ring and have absolutely no technical ability. Batista pretty much dominates the entire match, this was when Batista was highly overrated, and in the end he wins after a Batista Bomb on steel steps. I gave it three for the finishing move. 3/5 --And finally the Main Event, Hulk Hogan vs Shawn Michaels in a Legend vs Icon Match: the match was really overrated if you ask me, the ladder Match between Eddie and Rey was better. Nothing really happens in this match, the only thing worth watching is Shawn Michaels, who oversells Hogan's moves. Anyways, Hogan ends the match with a leg drop.. 2/5Here's the rating scaleA:40-36B:35-27C:26-18D:17-9F:8-0SummerSlam 2005 scored a 24 thus recieving...a C!!!!!!! This Pay-per-Veiw is worth watching, it's just not that good. I personally thought most of the matches were overrated especially when they were so hyped up...the Guerrero-Mysterio match was the true highlight of this Pay Per View.

Summerslam 2005
United States ChampionshipChampion Orlando Jordan vs.BenoitHaha this was cool...this match i didnt really wanna see and Benoit kept most at home happy.After being the World Champ Benoit has been kept down a little and now he is the united states Champ..Great to see Jordan Tap 25 secs into the match 4/10Matt Hardy vs.EdgeI was expecting the brawl and not wrestling and we got that.But i did want to see a longer match.They did well with the time they had and hardy took a sick bump.Ref calls the match when hardy is unable to compete. 5/10Ladder Match (Demonik Custody)Eddie Geurrero vs.Rey MysterioAwsome ladder match..wat were you expecting two guys that actually know how to wreslte.This was cool as hell.I thought Eddie should have won because come on 7 straight to rey..9/10Undertaker vs.Randy OrtonSlow paced but a good slow pace..Orton and Undertaker work pretty well with each other.Cool sequence when taker is gonna tombstone orton...orton reverses and then undertaker reverses. Bob Orton costs taker the match. 8/10Eugene vs.Kurt Angle (No Time Limit for gold medal)Expected Kurt To win and he did..Eugene does all he can but in the end it is the olympic gold medalist walkin home with his medal. 6/10WWE ChampionshipChris Jericho vs.Champ John CenaUnbelievable I wanted Jericho to win and really who didnt. Even the fans at the mci center wanted Jericho to win..It is almost like we like cena because wwe has made him a fan favorite. Great Match with the fans going back and forth..I thought Jericho was gonna do it with the walls but cena retains his title with an fu. 10/10World Heavyweight ChampionshipChampion Batista vs.JBLNot as hardcore as i expected.I thought there would be some blood but we do get to see a batista bomb onto steps..4/10Legend vs.IconHulk Hogan vs.Shawn MichealsMOTY candidate some people said that this match was slow and boring that is only because they have no sense of of wreslting and wrestling history..These are possobly the two biggest superstars ever battling..I was glued to the TV during this match it was unbelievable. Hogan loses a lot of blood..And shawn puts on a great performance.Hogan wins with a Leg Drop..10/10
M**E
Enjoyed...grudgingly...
Watching this DVD now its hard to cope with how far WWE-WWF has fallen from the great PPV era's they had before. They have 5 match PPV's now that are moreless longer episodes of Raw. This DVD is a good effort and one of the last of its kind. The main event...Hogan and HBK is good...only because of HBK. His talent to pull ANYONE thru a good match is legendary. He really pulls hard and must have been exhausted for dragging Hogans limp carcas thru a good match. Hogan does Hogan, which is pretty much - he's lazy, he's a name, he's living off it for 20 years past its prime, he can't work, he is insistant on putting himself over at all costs, he will blade (bleed) to save from making a guy look good. He wins the end. HBK flops around like a fish. He is truely one of the best ever. Other matches on the show are good, terrible, and amazing. Jericho...heel mind you pulls a Michaels and drags Cena thru the best match of his career, the crowd turns on Cena because he is just a work. Beniot squashes Orlando Jordan on his way out of the company in 30 seconds to Beniot back when he was of the earth. The remainder of the PPV is you basic WWE PPV matches you could have seen for free on Monday Night.

Classic 2004 style ppv
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

WWE Summerslam 2003 :)
WWE Summerslam 2003:The Dudleys vs La Resistance for the WWE World Tag Team Championship: ***A really good opener to represent the USA, with the Dudleys putting on a good effort of a match against the opposing French La Resistance.The Undertaker vs A Train w Sable ***Quite a good battle between the legendary Undertaker going up against the A Train. The match itself was really good and had a nice finish with Stephanie McMahon getting some payback on Sable, with a little assist by the Undertaker.Shane McMahon vs Eric Bischoff ***Not much of a wrestling match, but it was fun all the way throughout. It started off all basic with Shane taking it to Eric, which resulted in the Coach making a surprise heel turn. It was down to Stone Cold to make the match even more fun, and we got to see some Stone Cold Stunners and the Spanish announce table broken through by Shane McMahon doing the infamous test driving elbow off the top rope.Fatal Four Way for the WWE United States Championship ****Chris Benoit vs Tajiri vs Rhyno vs Eddie GuerreroThis was a constant back and forth match, with some good performances by all four superstars.Brock Lesnar vs Kurt Angle for the WWE Championship ****Best match of the show, with the same kind of style that was performed at WrestleMania XIX (19), and you had the best technical performances by both superstars.Kane vs Rob Van Dam in a No Holds Barred Match ****Was scheduled to be a one on one match, but then it got turned into NO HOLDS BARRED match. I have to admit that this match was really good, and we got a good use of steel chairs, steel steps, and a ladder.RAW Elimination Chamber match for the World Heavyweight Championship ****Randy Orton vs Kevin Nash vs Triple H vs Goldberg vs Chris Jericho vs Shawn MichaelsThis is one of my favourite Elimination Chamber matches, and the only one to feature WCW legend Goldberg who performed some of the best action inside the chamber. We had superstars being rammed into the steel chain, faces grinded in to the chamber, bodys slammed onto the steel flooring, chamber pods being broken, along with Chris Jericho being speared through one by Goldberg.WWE Summerslam 2003 is one of the best Summerslams in WWE history. WWE fans won't be disappointed.
