At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Lidia Draper
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Ezmae Chang
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

2005 was a great year for the WWE, and this was probably the best Pay-Per-View from that year. The undercard was pretty solid and the three main event matches were all great.Intercontinental Championship Match: Carlito (c) vs. Shelton Benjamin - This was a pretty good opener. These two are good workers and they have nice chemistry. The match was well-wrestled and was given a decent amount of time. Carlito retains the title by pulling the tights. RATING: ***Edge vs. Kane - Surprisingly, this match was also pretty good. Edge managed to carry Kane pretty well and the match didn't overstay its welcome. Surprisingly, despite Edge's push, Kane gets the win with a Chokeslam. RATING: ***Shawn Michaels vs. Kurt Angle - This match had a lot to live up to being that it is a rematch to one of the greatest matches of all time, and it really managed to deliver. While not quite as good as their first bout, this was still another amazing match between these two. Their chemistry is still stellar and they really bring each other to their limits. Shawn Michaels gets the win with a Superkick in midair. RATING: ****1/2Triple Threat Match for the WWE Championship: John Cena (c) vs. Chris Jericho vs. Christian - This was a great triple threat match. All three men worked well together, and the match was filled with plenty of exciting spots. Cena was still getting used to main event status, and he put on a good performance here. John Cena retains the Championship with an FU to Christian. RATING: ****Hell In A Cell Match for the World Heavyweight Championship: Batista (c) vs. Triple H - While their first two Pay-Per-View matches were above average, their HIAC match is fantastic. It was a great bloody war that moved at a blistering pace and had a brilliant finish. Batista retains his Championship and ends his feud with his former mentor once and for all with a Batista Bomb. RATING: ****1/2This is a must-own show. It has just about anything a wrestling fan could want in a wrestling event, and it is a great showcase of how good 2005 really was.RATING: A

Match 1 Intercontinental Title-CCC(c)vs. Shelton Benjamin-A good match because Carlito has charisma and Benjamin has in-ring ability. Match ends when Shelton misses a Stinger splash and Carlito rolls him up with tights for the win. 5/10 Winner by pinfall and still Intercontinental Champion:Carlito Match 2-Victoria vs. Christy-Christy is hot, Too bad she didn't win. She should have. Victoria wins w/ the ropes. 3/10 Winner by Pinfall:Victoria Match 3-Kane vs. Edge-This was a retarded match and the wrong man won. I love Kane but he shouldn't have won this. Match ends when Edge tries to spear Kane but hits Snitsky (who was down there for some reason) and Kane gets a chokeslam for the win. Stupid. 3/10 Winner by Pinfall:Kane Match 4-HBK vs. Kurt Angle-Excellent, pure wrestling contest. Match ends when Kurt jumps from the top rope but gets Sweet Chin Music! 1-2-3. 9/10 Winner by Pinfall: HBK Match 5-Triple Threat for the WWE Championship-John Cena (c) vs. Chris Jericho vs. Christian-Great Match. It ends when Cena lifts Christian up for the FU and swings him around. Christians legs hit Jericho in the face knocking him out of the ring. FU for the win. 8.5/10 Winner by Pinfall and still WWE Champion:John Cena Match 6-I loved this match. Highligts include a steel chair w/barbed wire and Sledgehammer shots. Late in the match, Triple H hit a low blow and a Pedigree. 1...2...NO! Holy Sh*t! Batista kicks out. Trips can't believe it either. He goes for another one on the steps but gets a Spinebuster and then a Batista Bomb. He literally falls on top of HHH for the win. 10/10 Winner by Pinfall and still World Heavyweight Champion:BatistaOverall 8/10 would have been higher if not for Edge/Kane and the womens match

Easily the best one brand show of the year, though thats maybe because this was during the draft and cena angle had just moved to raw whilst batista was still on raw so both titles were up for grabs1. Shelton Benjamin Vs Carlito(IC TITLE) IC TITLE MATCH7/10 crowd are great in this match a good 50 50 feel. not much technical wrestling but good nevertheless...the ending though i believe was fluffed by benjamin as he literally seems to intentionally head butt the exposed turnbuckle.2. Victoria Vs Christy4/10 Trish isn't in it so its obviously not good ..although christys performance is her best yet..even though shes booed by the crowd.3. Kane Vs Edge7/10 Good Match . crowd ROARRRRRRRR at the ending, which is a surprise.4. Kurt Angle Vs Shawn Michaels7.5/10 no way near as good as their mania match, i also think some people over rated this match just because their mania match was so good . still a very good match. hbk delivers some really good sweet chin music.There's a segment in which lilian asks viscera to marry her..godfather returns to a great ovation and viscera rejects lilian leaving her sweet pretty face crying in the ring.5. John Cena(WWE CHAMPION) vs Christian Vs Chris Jericho WWE CHAMPI0NSHIP MATCH8/10 Once again Cena performs exceptionally at a pay per view ..provides a quality piece of entertainment with a double five knuckle shuffle to Christian and jericho at the same time which the crowd loves..a few minor false finishes but nothing more but all in all a very good triple threat match. More entertaining then technical.6. Batista(WORLD CHAMP) Vs Triple H HELL IN THE CELL7/10 Was a good match .duh because its in a cell but the most OVER RATED hell in the cell match of all time... good beatings given out .especially with the barb wire rapped around the chair... a nice ending as well because you think something will happen during the match conclusion but it doesn't.

WWE must be proud of themselves. Vengeance was a fine PPV and all of the wrestlers worked hard. This PPV reminds me of Backlash in April.Results from Vengeance are as follows: - Carlito defeated Shelton Benjamin to retain the IC title in a decent match. However I can't help noticing that Carlito sucks as IC champ and all of the other wrestlers who were very good IC champs such as Shawn Michaels, Razor Ramon and the legendary Bret Hart must feel insulted.Victoria pinned Christy Hemme in a fair Women's match. Yes you read that correctly Hemme was in a good match.Kane defeated Edge in a very good match.Shanwn Michaels defeated Kurt Angle in a scorching match. This is what I call wrestling.John Cena defeated Christian and Chris Jericho to retain the WWE title in a decent match. Yes, you read that correctly again Cena was in a decent match. Perhaps Cena and Hemme are an item? - Batista defeated Triple H in a superb Hell in a Cell. Again HHH losing to Batty 3 times in a row makes this writer wonder if Triple H has finally seen the light.Overall Grade - A
