therock04 SPOILERSJust another average pay per view. when the wold champs are not in the main event you know that the things go wrong.next up the recap of the matches:Chris Benoit vs Orlando Jordan(c) -US Title match Benoit wins in 30 seconds with the Crippler Cross Face, yep the second WWE most important ppv have a 30 seconds squash match, anyway a Huge pop for Benoit rating 2/5, crowd reaction:5/5 Edge vs Matt Hardy -Single Match Disappointing match. This match had a lot of expectation due the return of Matt Hardy, the match begun and they just throw punchs and later edge wins via TKO. I Felt very disappointed rating 1/5Eddie Guerrero vs Rey Misterio -Ladder Match Very good match, finally a very good match. This is undoubtedly the match of the night but the storyline is so pathetic and the ending is so bad. Rey wins with the help of Eddie's wife. rating 4.5/5Kurt Angle vs Eugene -Single Match Wow two squash in one night, Angle wins with the Angle Lock and a very impressive pop for Angle rating 2/5, crowd reaction 5/5. Randy Orton vs Undertaker -Single Match Another good match between Orton and Mr.Callaway ,Orton wins with a RKO after some distraction. After the match, the guy who distracted Taker revealed himself as Bob Orton Jr. Does anyone Care???? rating 3.5/5John Cena(c) vs Chris Jericho -wwe Championship Like every Cena's match the opponent take the offensive side the 80% of the time and Cena wins with the FU, anyway the crowd was very involved in the match rating 3.5/5JBL vs Batista(c) -WHC Championship Another very short match, like the Edge-Matt Match they brawl the 100% of the time, but the ending is impressive ,Batista Connects the mighty Batista Bomb and connects another one in the ring steps, sweet!! 3.5/5Hogan vs HBK -Single match Unsurprisely HBK carries the 90% of the match in the end HBK connects the Diving Elbow and the sweet Chin Music and go for the pin butt he Hulkster kicks out and begin to hulk up and like always he is unbeatable and wins with the "devastating" leg drop, after the match another huge pop rating 4/5 crowd reaction 6/5

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

wrestlingsitewebmaster 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

davidr101 first off let me say that this was a fantastic pay per view.1st match- Beniot vs Orlando Jordan- U.S championship this was a great 30 second match. Orlando got 1 slap on Beniot before Beniot did 2 suplexes, then locking on the crippler. Must've been a summerslam record for fastest time. 7/102nd match- Edge vs Matt Hardy this was a solid match with a terrible ending. These guys weren't even wrestling they were just throwing punches all match. Match ended when Matt Hardy was bleeding continuously and the ref thought he could not continue anymore so Edge was declared the winner.Fans were disappointed. 7.5/103rd matcher- Rey Mysterio vs Eddie Guerrero What a match, these guys put every fan out of there seats. plenty of high risks moves. Lots of Holy S*** chants going. Match end when Eddie is about to climb the ladder and win when his wife comes and pushes ladder over allowing Rey to climb and win the match. 8.5/104th match- Kurt Angle vs Eugene Fans were behind Angle all the way on this match. Angle mostly dominated this match with Eugene doing like 3 moves on angle. match ends when angle makes Eugene tap out to the ankle lock. short match but pretty good. 7/105th match- Randy Orton vs Undertaker Some parts got a little boring, but it then picked up the pace. match ends when a guy from fans comes in the ring, distracts undertaker, undertaker throws him out but that allows randy Orton to hit the RKO for the 1-2-3. after the match it turns out the fan was Randy's dad Bob Orton. 7/106th match-John Cena vs Chris Jericho what was funny is this match was that half the fans were chanting lets go Jericho while the other fans were chanting lets go cena. i was surprised to see Jericho got some pops. overall a good match. match ends when Cena pulls a F-U out of nowhere. 8/107th match- JBL vs Batista Coming into this match i had no expectations. Jbl is the worst wrestler that WWE ever made champion. I was quite surprised tho at this match. much better then i thought it would be. match ends when Batista did a Batista bomb once but the fans chanted one more so Batista did a Batista bomb a second time on the steel steps. 8.3/108th match- Hulk Hogan vs HBK Shawn Micheals This was the most anticipated match of the night. Hogan came out to a huge ovation. this was a great match but some parts the fans were dead but became back alive again. Fans were chanting you screwed Bret and we want Bret. Micheals hit the sharpshooter but hogan got the ropes, then Michaels hit hogan with a chair, then a flying elbow. that set him up for the sweet chin music. Micheals nailed it right in hogans face. Michaels pins 1-2 NOO hogan kicks out and hulks up. hogan blocks Michaels punches lands 3 of his own and then the big boot and then he hits the leg drop for the 1-2-3. hogan WINS!. after the match Michaels comes back into the ring and shakes hogan's hand saying that he needed to know if he can do it. hogan then poses for the fans and celebrates his win. 9/10Overall Summerslam 2005 was a great pay per view. worth purchasing.9/10
