WWE Survivor Series 2005 Trailers

Survivor Series (2005) was the 19th annual Survivor Series PPV. It was presented by NovaLogic's Delta Force: Black Hawk Down and took place on November 27, 2005 at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan and featured wrestlers from the Raw and SmackDown! brands. The first of the main events was an interpromotional 5-on-5 Survivor Series match, a type of elimination match, between Team SmackDown! (Batista, Rey Mysterio, John "Bradshaw" Layfield (JBL), Bobby Lashley, and Randy Orton) and Team Raw (Shawn Michaels, Kane, The Big Show, Carlito, and Chris Masters). The other main event was a standard wrestling match between wrestlers from the Raw brand, in which WWE Champion John Cena defended his title against Kurt Angle. Another match was a Last Man Standing match between Triple H and Ric Flair.

Reviews
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
kliko400 This was definitely unbelievable, this was the best Survivor Series that I have ever watched, & this is the best PPV of 2005.FIRST MATCH- CHRIS BENOIT VS. BOOKER T W/ SHARMELL IN MATCH 1 OF THE BEST OF 7 SERIES FOR THE WWE UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP Even though this match was slow mostly. It was still alright & enjoyable. Too bad Booker T had to win after getting a roll-up on Benoit using the ropes to get the win in the first match of the Best Of 7 Series for the WWE United States Title. 4/10 SECOND MATCH- TRISH STRATUS W/ MICKIE JAMES VS. MELINA W/ MNM FOR THE WWE WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP Boring to say the truth. Even with MNM at ringside, Trish was still able to get the win against Melina with a Chick Kick to retain her WWE Women's Title against a Smackdown Diva. 3/10 THIRD MATCH- TRIPLE H VS. RIC FLAIR IN A LAST MAN STANDING MATCH Definitely brutal, crazy & violent. Flair definitely put up a very good fight, but it wasn't enough as HHH nailed him on the back with a sledgehammer to knock him out for the 10 count & to win the brutal violent match. {By the way Flair was busted open very badly in this match}. 5/10 FOURTH MATCH- THEODORE LONG VS. ERIC BISCHOFF IN A GENERAL MANAGER VS. GENERAL MANAGER MATCH It's the battle of the GM's in a pretty boring match. After the referee accidentally gets knocked out which leads the Boogeyman to come during the match & nail Bischoff with the Boogeyman. While the groggy referee gets up, Teddy Long covers Bischoff for the win & gets the 3 count to win. 2/10 FIFTH MATCH- JOHN CENA VS. KURT ANGLE FOR THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP SPECIAL GUEST REFEREE: DAIVARI After Daivari tries many attempts to screw Cena. The plan comes to a fail as Cena overcomes Daivari & is able to nail the F-U on Angle. After Daivari was knocked out, same as the second referee, then the third. The fourth referee comes & counts the cover to 3 as Cena has won & overcame the odds to beat Angle & retain his WWE Title. 5/10 SIXTH MATCH- TEAM SMACKDOWN {BATISTA, JBL, RANDY ORTON, REY MYSTERIO & BOBBY LASHLEY} VS. TEAM RAW {SHAWN MICHAELS, CHRIS MASTERS, BIG SHOW, KANE & CARLITO} IN A 5-5 ELIMINATION MATCH What can I say. This match was just off the hook. I'd go so far to say that this was the best elimination match I have ever watched. The last remaining are Orton & Michaels. Michaels nails a couple of clothesline, a scoop slam & a elbow off the top & is ready to nail Sweet Chin Music on Orton. Just as Michaels is about to nail the move, JBL tries to interfere with a steel chair but gets knocked down by Michaels after Sweet Chin Music. Michaels turns around only to get an RKO by Orton who covers for the 3 count to make Team Smackdown beat Team Raw. After the match, the whole Smackdown Locker Room comes in & celebrates their win when suddenly Undertaker comes & knocks out all the Smackdown Superstars while Orton with his dad escapes the ring. Undertakers stares at the shocked Orton while the PPV goes off the air. 10/10 This is unbelievably the best Survivor Series I have ever watched, & the elimination match between Team Smackdown & Raw is just unbelievable. The best Survivor Series & the best PPV of 2005.Overall: I'll give it 10/10 & a A+PS: R.I.P Eddie Guerrero, you were an all-star entertainer
gridoon 1) Chris Benoit vs. Booker T. Not a very good choice for an opener. Too long and too standard. Benoit deserves better than US title feuds, and hopefully he'll get it again in the future. **2) Trish vs. Melina (women's title). The execution (by both women) is sloppy in parts, but Melina definitely has potential, she is aggressive and at one point does a nice surfboard submission. **3) HHH vs. Ric Flair. Last Man Standing Match. OK, I have a few complaints about this: it is the longest match on the card, even though no title is on the line; the pace is draggy and plodding; the blood looks fake; most of the "big spots" (back body drop on the Spanish announce table anyone?) are predictable; and why is Ric Flair still wrestling? Other than that, it's fine! **4) John Cena vs. Kurt Angle (WWE title). Daivari is the special guest referee. Angle is excellent as usual and Cena is better than usual here, and the very enthusiastic 50-50 crowd helps the match even more, but the suggestion that Angle can't beat Cena even with cheating is kind of insulting. ***5) Eric Bischoff vs. Theodore Long. Undeserving of further comments. Oh, maybe I should add that the Boogeyman makes a guest appearance. 0 6) Team Raw vs. Team Smackdown. This is the real reason to watch the PPV. Fast-paced and highly enjoyable. Everyone looks good here, but special kudos must go to Lashley and Rey Mysterio. ***Overall, despite one complete dud of a match, the rest of the show is generally enjoyable.
Stuart Wilson As good as Survivor Series 2005 was it should have been a lot better. Sure, Ric Flair and Triple H had a brutal Last Man Standing match but the finish was practically given away when The Coach told us during the introductions that the Intercontinental Championship would not be on the line. My hats off to Ric Flair, after his performance at Taboo Tuesday and now Survivor Series he has proved that on the right night, with the right opponent he can still produce a great match.The rest of the card I felt was disappointing. I remember back in 1998 with the best of seven series between Booker T and Benoit was going down in WCW. They produced one of the most memorable feeds of the year. This match was nowhere near as good as they produced seven years ago.Malina and Trish was as good as could be expected and Kurt Angle and John Cena produced perhaps their best match so far in their feud. The main event should have been a colossal collision of the brands in true Survivor Series fashion. It wasn't.Don't get me wrong the match was fairly solid but I felt it lacked the emotion and intensity a top line main event such as this needed. The ending also seemed rushed. Michaels and Orton should have been able to go at it for an extra 5-10 minutes at least. Maybe if the writers hadn't given any airtime to the pointless and embarrassing mess that was the "Battle of the General Managers" then this match could have reached it's potential.Over all a good, solid pay-per-view from WWE. But unlike 2002 when HBK won the Elimination Chamber and 1998 when The Rock won the Deadly Game tournament, there was nothing really special to report on this night from Detroit.
jts0405 Chris Benoit vs. Booker T match 1 of best of 7 series Trish vs. Melina for the Women's title Triple H vs. Ric Flair: Last Man Standing Match Eric Bischoff vs. Theodore Long: Battle Of GMs HBK, Kane, Big Show, Chris Masters, and Carlito vs. Batista, JBL,Randy Orton,Rey Mysterio, and Bobby Lashley Wow what great matches and what a great event I'm glad I saw it on PPV Big Show is my favorite wrestler of all time. He should have won for RAW instead Orton won for SmackDown. That went kind of crappy because I've always like Raw better than Smack-Down. It has more of the bigger wrestlers like The Rock, Big Show, Kane, Triple H, Stone Cold, The King Jerry Lawler, Hurricane, Kurt Angle, and HBK.
