 One of 2005's Best, 2010-01-01
This is my first review of 2010, so here we go! The title says it all, as in my opinion, this was one of the best events in 2005, which was a pretty solid year for the wwe. A good undercard, two good world title matches, and a great royal rumble makes this one well worth the purchase. I am not sure if i gave this the right rating though. Thanks for reading!
Edge vs. Shawn Michaels
This was an extremely good way to open the show, because when you put two guys in the ring with each other, such as hbk and edge, you can't really go wrong, and this was no exception. If you can recall their two street fights in 2005 and 2007, this was just as good, just not as brutal. You get good, solid wrestling from both men, as they really had a good fued going, it brought physicallity to the match, so much to where edge pulls out his hair after a 2 count on the spear! Overall, i can't really say anything bad about this one.
4.25/5
Casket Match
Undertaker vs. Heidenreich
The event slowed down a bit here, as taker worked heidenreich to a decent, but slow match. The match didn't have much brutallity to it, with the only exciting parts being the interference from kane and gene snitsky. Once again, taker and heidenreich had a decent rivalry coming into to this, but they just didn't execute the match well.
3/5
Triple Threat Match
WWE Championship
JBL vs. Kurt Angle vs. Big Show
Michael Cole and Tazz pointed out on commentary that angle and jbl had a last man standing match on the previous smackdown, so they had to do everything and anything to bring big show down. They used steel chairs, tv moniters, steel steps, ect. A cool moment to really look out for is big show putting jbl right through the barricade, which led to jbl sneaking in at the last moment and picking up the scraps, by getting a cheap pin on angle. Way better than i expected this to be.
4/5
World Heavyweight Championship
Triple H vs. Randy Orton
To me, this heavily made up for their unforgiven 2004 match, which was nothing better than average. This match was very physical, with triple h being the "heel aggressor", but on the other hand, orton was playing his "weak face role", which wasn't very successful. Some good wrestling by both men and alot of brawling, to where it gets to the point of orton being knocked out, with the involvement of hhh's sledgehammer. Besides the predictable ending, this was a very aggressive, physical, and solid world heavyweight title match.
4.5/5
30 Man Royal Rumble Match
This was a very good rumble match, that had solid, believable eliminations. Some standout moments in this one include, the raw and smackdown faceoff, in the mid-part and everyone teaming up on hassan, to eliminate him, if you can remember, everyone hated him at the time. Overall, as we expected, when batista came in, he dominated, along with cena, and it was very fitting that it came down to them. It is worth pointing out that the ending was an exact flashback of the 1994/1995 rumbles, which was cool to see. Some great standout performances by edge, mysterio, rvd, and the two men i mentioned above, makes this match a great way to close the show.
5/5
Like i said, i don't really know wiether to rate this a 4 or a 5, but i can tell you this for sure, that it is a great event. Highly recommended!

 A Royal Rumble from 2005, 2009-05-03
See my title for the review? It's funny because there's only one Royal Rumble in any given year. Ah, shut up.
Shawn Michaels vs Edge
Wow where was my head in this one? Or rather, everyone else's? All the other reviews here LOVED this match. I... did not. I thought it was high-energy, yes, but it was almost completely punches and kicks and clotheslines. It did not amuse me and I was not entertained. (5/10)
The Undertaker vs Heidenreich
Huh-HOHHHH!!! What did you expect? It was as terrible as you'd expect. So terrible, it wasn't even really a match---Gene Snitsky, amateur abortionist, runs in to help beat on the Undertaker. Then Kane appears inside the casket and runs him off so Undertaker can win. Odd thought: what would have happened if the match weren't scripted, and one of them opened the casket early and found Kane there? (0/10)
WWE Championship
John Bradshaw Layfield (C) vs Kurt Angle vs The Big Show
As my expectations were utter garbage, I was surprised by the match being entertaining and fun to watch play out. The Big Show plays out being a monster giant with almost too much strength in performance---he almost never left his feet, and did almost nothing for most of the match until staying out for several minutes when being punched and keeling over through an announcer's table. (7/10)
World Heavyweight Championship
Triple H (C) vs Randy Orton
OH HEY! This is the exact same main event lineup we're being treated to ad nauseum TODAY! Haha. And yet it's somehow worse now than it was back then (ie, the time of this DVD) because I cannot remember anything overtly bad about this match except Orton looked pathetically weak. (6/10)
Royal Rumble Match
A very good and entertaining one. Some angry bits: Jonathan Coachman enters as a JOKE entry so that a deserving athlete can NOT be featured. Who in the blue hell thinks LUTHER REIGNS or MARK JINDRAK or SCOTTY 2 HOTTY even had a chance of winning the Rumble? It's not the fact that they're clearly not main eventers, but the fact that it was mentioned many times by the commentators that they could end up headlining Wrestlemania. DOWNPLAY THAT, TAZZ! The ending was fun with the controversy, but the restarting was rather lame. Especially with how easily Batista just threw Cena out of the ring. (9/10)
That was it, and this is the review.

Very Good Rumble with a solid undercard to back it up, 2008-08-18
Royal Rumble began the road to Wrestlemania 21 and this certainly ended and started some rivalries leading up to WM 21. All the matches are good. There wasn't any duds and the Rumble was very good too.
1. Shawn Michaels vs. Edge
This match was very good which had a four month build up to it. It all started at Taboo Tuesday with Shawn getting more votes than Edge. It started out with a pretty good fight. Really going back and forth with some good reversals. It had some brief action to take place on the outside once Edge tryed to get counted out. The ending came out of nowhere. Great opener. 4/5
2. Casket Match
Undertaker vs. Heidenreich
Very good casket match. I was very impressed by this one as I was when these two faced off at the Survivor Series. It started with some semibrawling. The casket would briefly get used. Kane and Snitsky would get involved and would fight out into the crowd. Undertaker would then unleash some hard punishment onto Heidenreich. Good way to end this feud. 4/5
3. WWE Title
Kurt Angle vs. JBL vs. Big Show
This match had a pretty good storyline leading into it. It has some good action on the outside where Show speared JBL through the barricade. It had a good table spot too. JBL and Angle had a pretty good one on one confrontation. The ending was totally JBL style but it fitted in good. 3.5/5
4. World Heavyweight Title
Randy Orton vs. Triple H
This was another match that had a four month build up to it. Randy and Triple H have pretty good chemistry in the ring together and they can put on some good wrestling clinics and this was no exception. I wouldn't say this match was better than their Unforgiven bout but it was just different. Orton was the agressor and just giving it to Hunter in the early going. Neither man had the advantage for too long. Both men pulled out some good counters and got in some hard shots onto each other. Orton got a little dazed towards the end which was his downfall. Very solid title match. 5/5
5. Royal Rumble Match
The Rumble Match 2005 had some very good highlights to it. It began one of the best wrestling feuds of the year and it also began the era of the Animal.
Benoit and Eddie started it off with a good back and forth wrestling match up. It had some good action before Angle and HBK entered but it really got going once they entered. Angle came out very energitic and farce. The true highlight of the match was defiantly the outside brawling between HBK and Angle. It had a good final four. This is also the first time where Cena and Batista went face to face with each other. Watch for Vince injurying himself in trying to enter the ring. Good rumble. 4.5/5
Royal Rumble was a pretty good event. I recommend on checking this one out.

 Decent PPV, 2008-03-07
Edge VS HBK: I liked this feud. Really good way to open the show.
Undertaker VS Heidenreich in a Casket Match: A decent match, nothing really speical. Typical Undertaker match/feud.
JBL VS Kurt Angle VS Big Show: Why give them only 15 minutes? Excellent triangle match. Back in 2005, Smackdown had some of the best wrestlers in the world. Maybe the match of the whole show.
Triple H VS Randy Orton: Who cares? Orton was a babyface and not kicking everyone in the head. This match was longer then the Smackdown title match and could have been shorter. Triple H was on a power trip when this match took place.
Royal Rumble: As I searched for what to watch, I could not remember who won this Rumble. It was probably the worst Rumble since 96. The start saw Beniot, Holly, and Guerrero beat the hell out of Daniel Puder and throw him out. I fell asleep during some of it but nothing really happened out of the ordinary. Worst Rumble since 96 as I said before.
Thoughts: WWE has losts its luster during the internet age and the end of WCW. The PPVs rarely produce a feeling of your watching something speical. The 2002 Rumble had alot of wrestlers coming back and I enjoyed that. This year was plain and predictable. Its been that way ever since really. A few good matches but the Rumble sucked.
