One Night Stand 2005

1. Lance Storm defeated Chris Jericho by pinfall

This was a good opener, even if it was a bit shorter. It was nice to see Storm back in the ring with fans actually reacting to him. Does Jericho just let everyone beat him?

Rating: 3.25 (out of 5)

2. Super Crazy defeated Tajiri and Little Guido by pinfall

The first half of this match was great stuff, but it lost a lot of steam as it went on. It's too bad Super Crazy never caught on in WWE, because when he was motivated, he was capable of some good matches.

Rating: 2.75

3. Rey Mysterio defeated Psicosis by pinfall

These two rivals were a little off on this night, but this is still an enjoyable match. The crowd didn't dig this one as much as some of the others, however.

Rating: 2.75

4. Sabu defeated Rhino by pinfall

This was a pretty typical brawl, but one you don't see much in the WWE anymore. Enjoyable, but nothing special.

Rating: 2.5

5. Chris Benoit defeated Eddie Guerrero by submission

This was the most disappointing match on the card. These two have crazy chemistry, but this one came off a bit flat.

Rating: 2.75

6. Mike Awesome defeated Masato Tanaka by pinfall

***Match Of The Night***

This was as hard hitting of a match that you'll see. Tanaka absolutely got destroyed at the end and the action was non-stop from bell to bell. It seemed to be missing something to put it into classic territory, but this is definitely worth a viewing.

Rating: 3.75

7. The Dudleyz defeated Sandman + Tommy Dreamer by pinfall

This was classic ECW at it's finest. Nonsense brawling, tons of interferences, and lots and lots of blood. Great way to cap off a fine evening.

Rating: 3.5

Not every match is awesome by any means and the amount of wrestling on this show is a lot less than a typical pay-per-view, but the pacing and action make up for that. All of the promos were memorable as well and the crowd was just off the charts. This was a great night that remembered ECW for the things they did right.
