WWE Unforgiven 2005 (2005)

The Worst Film Ever

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Shelton Benjamin vs. Kerwin White - Solid match but Shelton selling a knee a injury put limitations on this match Trish & Ashley vs. Victoria & Torrie The Hurricane & Rosey vs. Cade & Murdoch for the tag titles - I enjoyed this match. Hurricane took a couple bad shots.Big Show vs. Snitsky - For 2 big men their sizes, this was a great match.Edge vs. Matt Hardy in a Cage Match - This match was insane! Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Masters - I love HBK but every time I watch this I fall asleep midway through the match. The ending is good though.Ric Flair vs. Carlito for the Intercontinenal Championship John Cena vs. Kurt Angle for the WWE Championship - Decent match, better than the one they had @ No Way Out 2005.There were some funny backstage celebrating with Ric Flair. This was probably the last great ppv they had in 05.

I generally enjoyed this Raw PPV as it had cool matches & some shocking moments which definitely have to be seen to be believed.FIRST MATCH- RIC FLAIR VS. CARLITO FOR THE WWE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP Pretty good match between Flair & Carlito. Both men did pretty well which also featured Flair jumping off the top rope for the first time in his wrestling career. Flair makes Carlito tap out to the Figure 4 Leg Lock to win & win the IC Title for the first time in his career. 5/10 SECOND MATCH- TRISH STRATUS & ASHLEY VS. VICTORIA & TORRIE Wilson Not a bad Diva's tag team match. Great to see Trish return & not as a heel anymore. Also great to see Ashley team up with a better Diva like Trish. Trish & Ashley win after Trish nails Victoria with the Chick Kick for the win. 3/10 THIRD MATCH- BIG SHOW VS. GENE SNITSKY Not bad for a big man vs. big man match. Snitsky tries to topple down the Big Show with everything he can, but it is not enough as Big Show nails Snitsky with the Chokeslam for the win. 4/10 FOURTH MATCH- MATT HARDY VS. EDGE W/ LITA Probably the best Steel Cage match I have ever seen. Both men tried to take some risks with high flying moves, but in the end Matt went right on top of the Steel Cage & nailed a Leg Drop right from the top cage on Edge & pinned him for the victory. {Edge was busted upon during the match}. 6/10 FIFTH MATCH- SHELTON BENJAMIN VS. KERWIN WHITE Wasn't really bad, but could of been better if they had more time to try & wrestle a better match. 3/10 SIXTH MATCH- LANCE CADE & TREVOR MURDOCH VS. ROSEY & HURRICANE FOR THE WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP Don't know why, but I seriously enjoyed this tag team match. Both Rosey & Hurricane did well against the newcomers, but Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch nailed a cool double team move on Hurricane, {Don't really know how to describe the move} & pinned him for a 3 count for the win & for them to win the World Tag Team Titles. 5/10 SEVENTH MATCH- SHAWN MICHAELS VS. CHRIS MASTERS Chris Masters definitely has great charisma when going in the ring against some top WWE Superstars like Shawn Michaels here. Masters grounds Michaels with some strong grapple moves but it still isn't enough as Michaels nails the Sweet Chin Music for the 3 count to win & end Masters winning streak once & for all. 5/10 EIGHT MATCH- KURT ANGLE VS. JOHN CENA FOR THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP Pretty good match between Angle & Cena. Although their match at No Way Out was a bit more better, this was still a good one but did not end in a right way. Cena nails Angle with the WWE Championship Belt while the referee caught him & disqualified him. After the match both Angle & Bischoff try to attack Cena, but Cena fights both of them off, gives Bischoff an F-U, then gets Angle & F-U's him through the announce table as the PPV goes off the air. 5/10 Wasn't really a bad PPV at all. This year's was definitely better than last year's Unforgiven PPV.Overall: I'll give it 7/10 & a C

After clips of the Angle/ Cena feud, Unforgiven 2005 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma starts. Match 1: Ric Flair Vs. Carlito for the International Championship. Overall a pretty lackluster match, but Flair won the belt so I guess that counts for something. 4 stars out of 10. The Nature Boy then goes into a speech and pulls some plants, excuse me um..real paying attendants *wink* out of the audience. Lita talks to Edge while messaging his neck. Match 2: Tori Wilson and Victoria Vs. Trish Stratus and Ashley. I hate hate HATE women's matches as they always suck balls. This one was no exception. Trish Stratus & Ashley won, but really no one wins when there's a woman in there wrestling if you know what I mean and I think you do. 1/10. In the best segment of the PPV thus far, Flair pulls out a bottle of Viagra, after he leads the 4 girls into his limo. WOOOOOO!!! an ad for WWe Raw moving to the USA network. Dusty Hill & Billy Gibbons are introduced in the audience. Match 3: Big Show Vs. Gene Snitsky. Show manhandles Snitsky for most of the match (Snit does get a few good moves in) and Show ends up winning, hitting him one last time post-match 3/10 An ad for Wrestlemania is shown. Back at Flair's limo steam is coming off it. (it was stupid, they should have quit the joke while it was funny). Clips of the Shawn Micheal/ Chris Masters feud. Match 4: Kerwin White vs Shelton Benjamin. Not a fan of Chavo's new gimmick, but not a fan of Shelton at all. But he won anyway 3/10. Matt Hardy is interviewed about his upcoming match. Scenes of the Matt/ Edge feud. Match 5: Edge Vs. Matt Hardy in a Cell match. A pretty good match (but lets face it anything half-decent would look good after the previous 4 matches of the PPV) I think I liked the Summerslam match better though. 7/10. Bishoff yells at Cena as Edge crawls up the ramp to backstage. Match 6: Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch Vs.Hurricane and Rosey for the Tag Team championship belt. Slow, lame, and boring, but hey at least it wasn't a womens' match. Lance & Trevor, but who cares? 2/10 We're back at Flair's limo YET AGAIN (overkill) as a lady comes out wearing Nature Boy's robe. Chris Masters is interviewed briefly about his upcoming match. Match 7: Chris Masters vs. Shawn Michaels. I like Masters, I think he has potential that being said, i love HBK. They both give a pretty good match, nothing too flashy but solid enough. HBK wins. 8/10 Back to Flair AGAIN (PLEASE STOP). Another ad for Raw on USA. Clips of the Cena/Angle feud. Match 9: John Cena vs. Kurt Angle for the championship, which was alright, but judging by reaction to it was a tad overrated. Cena is still champ due to a disqualification on Angle 7/10. Unforgiven events have been pretty lackluster events in the last half decade or so and all in all this doesn't change that dubious streak.Overall Grade: C-

A very watchable Pay Per View...not great but very watchable...hers the run of matches1. Ric Flair Vs Carlito(Champ)IC TITLE MATCH7.5/10 ...not a great technical match but flairs keeps the crowd going with his hilarious antics and his constant woooos.enjoyable match for flair fans.2. Ashley and Trish Vs Torrie and Victoria.6/10 ..Trish Stratus performance in this match was incredible considering it was her first match back from a long lay off , she is actually better in ring then some MALE SUPERSTARS..she was unbelievable, same cannot be said for ashley who i know is still learning but she was WOEFUL victoria and torrie were there usual selves.i don't usually enjoy womens matches because of the wrestling but this one i did only because of TRISH ...they all looked hot by the way 3. Big Show Vs Snitsky5/10 as i expected very slow paced..not a great match ..a raw match if u ask me, shows shhhhhhhhhhhushes and chops are the only bright sparks.4. Shelton Benjamin Vs Kerwin White(CHAVO GUERRERO)6/10 These two can do better, due to shelton selling a knee injury we didn't get to see him do any high flying moves, but a decent match nevertheless.5. Matt Hardy Vs Edge 8.5/10 After this Matt hardy should never go back to mid card, his performance was superb the crowd were so into him it was untrue, i actually think lita cheating on him has helped his career big time . great match with a super move to end it.Lita gets the twist of fate as well which is swell.6. Murdoch and Cade Vs Hurricane and Rosey(Saddoes) TAG CHAMPS3/10 Poor match as expected , tag titles mean nothing anymore , hurricane sold a neck injury which nobody cared about, the only good things were laughing at Murdochs mean grin,which i find amusing. Crowd looked like they were going to die of boredom half way thru.7. Shawn Michaels Vs Chris Masters7/10 Not one of HBK best, due to his opponent,but still relatively enjoyable as hbk keeps the crowd involved and puts on a good display ,i like masters gimmick but in ring don't really feel him.8. Kurt Angle Vs JOHN CENA(THE MAN, THE CHAMP, GREATEST THING SINCE AUSTIN)WWE Championship Match 9/10 Once again all the cena haters have been proved wrong, once again cena performs at a pay per view for the umpteenth time.angle as usual was amazing, great match love it when these two face off they work so well together, ending was a bit disappointing though , but that didn't stop the match from being the best of the night.
