Movie Reviews of WWE Survivor Series 2005
Movie Review: Not The Best But Still Good
Summary: 4 Stars
First of all, I want to address a few things. When I first saw Survivor Series 2005 on PPV when it aired, I did not think it was that good of an event & was sort of disappointed. However, after renting the DVD, I released that this was a good event but it could have been better (then again there were a few injuries & the unfortunate death of a great wrestler (Eddie Guerrero) that took some steam from this event).
Match #1 Best of Seven Series for the Vacant United States Championship- Booker T vs Chris Benoit. This was not one of those "get you on your feet" openers but it was a good showing between these two even though it is not the best I have seen from these two.
Women's Champion Trish Stratus vs Melina. The first inter-promotional match of the night & it was one of the better women matches that occurred in 2005 considering how the division (at the time) had only 3 women who could actually wrestle. As D.P. stated, the only thing bad here was Tazz trying to talk over Joey Styles, which was really annoying.
Last Man Standing Match- Triple H vs Ric Flair. This did not top their previous Cage match at Taboo Tuesday or was not on the level as Triple H's classic Last Man Standing match with Chris Jericho in 2000 still that does not mean that these two did not put up the match of the night. Triple H was really aggressive here & brought out the best performance out of Flair at this time in his career which was similar to their last encounter before Triple H put Flair "out of his misery".
Normally, I would not comment on certain things like this but "The Cutting Edge" segment with Edge & Lita was entertaining as they talk down the crowd pretty good. Again, I would prefer this happening on RAW since people payed money to see action but I will forgive it this time.
WWE Champion John Cena vs Kurt Angle w/Special Referee Daivari. This match did not even come close to their Unforgiven encounter or top neither of their past matches as the main focus here was to get the crowd to cheer for Cena over Angle than about delivering a good match. Angle tried & even though this match is watchable, that stupid referee angle just ruined this match for me (Kurt does not need a ref to beat anyone..above all else Cena).
Eric Bischoff vs Theodore Long. The second inter-promotional match & the less said the better...because this was just horrible & the Boogeyman is just a dumb gimmick.
Elimination Match- Shawn Michaels, Kane, Big Show, Carlito & Chris Masters vs Batista, Rey Mysterio, Bobby Lashley, J.B.L. & Randy Orton. Before I start, once again I have to quote D.P. about this matter but FIRST OF ALL, PRESS THE MUTE BUTTON because Tazz & Cole (mostly Tazz) just wouldn't shut up & were more concerned about shooting & attacking over the RAW announce team to the point where I think Joey Styles took off his headset & just sat there because he was not participating in this match at all (and I don't blame him). Besides that, this was a great main event as I have always enjoyed this "wild card" type of scenario where the heels & the faces are forced to team up in order to survive the elimination matches. You saw moments of J.B.L. & Mysterio working together or HBK helping out Masters & Carlito, which you really see. Once the new comers were eliminated, the veterans put on a great show with Randy Orton continuing his undefeated Survivor Series record (till 2006 but that's another story).
The return of the Undertaker came at the end where he basically beat up the "B" SmackDown superstars before staring down Randy Orton to set up their Hell In A Cell match a month later at Armageddon, which was suppose to happen here but Orton replaced the late Eddie Guerrero in the main event.
DVD extras include Shane McMahon visiting Teddy Long backstage before being confronted by the Boogeyman, Kurt Angle & Davari's visit to the [...] interview area after his match, and Maria asking what Vince McMahon's favorite S. Series moment was (Survivor Series 1997 rings a bell here) followed by video clips of Survivor Series moments.
In the end, the positives outweight the negative & considering most are selling this event at a cheap price, if you have spare cash to spend, this is worth a purchase or in my case, rental.
