Unforgiven 2005

1. Ric Flair defeated Carlito by submission to win the Intercontinental Championship

The match itself was just okay, but the crowd reaction to the Nature Boy winning the gold was phenomenal. Great moment.

Rating: 2 (out of 5)

2. Trish Stratus + Ashley defeated Victoria + Torrie Wilson by pinfall

This was actually pretty good. Ashley was horrible, but Trish and Victoria both looked really good here.

Rating: 1.5

3. Big Show defeated Snitsky by pinfall

To be honest, watching these old shows has shown me that Snitsky is not as horrible as I thoughe he was. Don't get me wrong, I don't like him, but he is not nearly as bad as I remembered.

Rating: 1.5

4. Shelton Benjamin defeated Kerwin White by pinfall

This one was a disappointment and the crowd really wasn't into this one. Kerwin White was actually a pretty funny character, even if it had no chance of being anything but a comedy bit.

Rating: 2

5. Matt Hardy defeated Edge by pinfall

***Match Of The Night***

This was an absolutely fantastic match and probably the best of Matt Hardy's singles career. The pace was fast-paced for about twenty minutes and both men played their parts extremely well. Awesome match.

Rating: 4.25

6. Cade + Murdoch defeated Hurricane + Rosey by pinfall to win the Tag Team Championships

This was okay wrestling, but it really didn't do anything for me. This was just to get the young guys over.

Rating: 1.5

7. Shawn Michaels defeated Chris Masters by pinfall

The first half of this match was okay, but the last portion was really well done. Leave it to Shawn Michaels to have a good match with Chris Masters.

Rating: 3.25

8. Kurt Angle defeated John Cena by disqualification

It always hurts when the main event finshes with a DQ, but the match itself was really entertaining. The feud must continue.

Rating: 3.5

Talk about an overachieving show. I really didn't have that high of hopes for this one and they exceeded my expectations here. You have one of the best WWE matches of 2005 on the card and a lot of good, solid wrestling. There is some mediocre stuff here, but it's an entertaining show overall.
