Survivor Series 2005

1. Booker T defeated Chris Benoit by pinfall

Talk about disappointing. I did enjoy this more live, but it really has not held up well.

Rating: 2.5 (out of 5)

2. Trish Stratus defeated Melina by pinfall

If it weren't for a few sloppy spots, this would have been a little bit better. Still, it was entertaining enough.

Rating: 1

3. Triple H defeated Ric Flair in a Last Man Standing Match

***Match Of The Night***

I really liked this match quite a bit. They kept up a good pace and it was appropriately violent. Nice work.

Rating: 3.75

4. John Cena defeated Kurt Angle by pinfall

The match was going well and the crowd was hot, but then the silly booking kicked in and really ruined what would have been a fine match.

Rating: 3.25

5. Teddy Long defeated Eric Bischoff by pinfall

This is the best they could come up with? The crowd crapped all over this one and rightfully so. This is one of the worst pay-per-view matches in WWE history.

Rating: 0

6. Randy Orton, JBL, Rey Mysterio, Lashley, and Batista defeated Shawn Michaels, Carlito, Chris Masters, Kane, and Big Show by pinfall

This was a good match, but it just seemed to be lacking that something special. Michaels put on a great performance, as always and Rey was also a standout.

Survivor: Randy Orton

Rating: 3.5

Most people don't like this show and I'm sure a good reason why I like it is because I attended it live. But I have now watched it a few times on DVD and I still enjoy it. It's not an all time classic by any means, but you got three good matches that take up most of the running time. To me, that's worthy of a recommendation.
