Reviews
ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Brenda 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
kliko400 This is definitely the best Raw PPV in a while. Almost all the matches were good, well not exactly all of them.FIRST MATCH- SHELTON BENJAMIN VS. CARLITO FOR THE WWE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP What a great way to start Vengeance. Both Carlito & Benjamin put on a very good decent match. Carlito wins after Benjamin misses a slam & nails himself head first into the exposed turnbuckle {Which Carlito exposed during the match} which led Carlito to cover Benjamin for the 3 count to retain his IC Title. 6/10SECOND MATCH- VICTORIA VS. CHRISTY HEMME Just a plain, boring Diva match as usual. Victoria wins after a roll-up on Christy Hemme using the ropes for the cheat win. 2/10THIRD MATCH- KANE VS. EDGE W/ LITA This was a great match too. Kane & Edge really delivered a great match which they never used to in all their times in the ring together. Kane wins after Edge goes to nail his Money In The Bank briefcase on Kane but misses {Which accidentally hits Gene Snitsky who tried to interfere in the match} & falls into a Chokeslam by Kane for the win. 5/10FOURTH MATCH- KURT ANGLE VS. SHAWN MICHAELS These two can seriously steal the show when they are in the ring together. Too bad their Wrestlemania 21 encounter was better than their second which was right here. Angle jumps off the rope only to get nailed by Sweet Chin Music by Michaels for the win. 6/10FIFTH MATCH- JOHN CENA VS. CHRIS JERICHO VS. Christian IN A TRIPLE-THREAT MATCH FOR THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP Great triple-threat match which showed Cena overcoming the odds. {Almost the whole match Jericho & Christian were ganging up on Cena.} Cena wins after using Christian to knock down Jericho, finally getting Christian & nailing the F-U on him for the win to retain his WWE Championship. 5/10SIXTH MATCH- TRIPLE H VS. BATISTA IN A HELL IN A CELL MATCH FOR THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP A very awesome, brutal & violent HIAC match this was. Both men tried to topple down each other with as many weapons they could find under the ring. Batista wins the brutal match after nailing a spine-buster on HHH on the steel steps, followed by a Batista Bomb for the win to retain his World Title & to be the first man ever to pin HHH in a HIAC match. 6/10 This was a very good Raw PPV indeed. Doesn't get any better than this, does it.Overall: I'll give it 8/10 & a B+
Stuart Wilson Whoever doesn't think there is a difference between Smackdown! pay-per-views and Raw pay-per-views just needs to take a look at Vengeance 2005 for proof.This was an extraordinary one brand only event. The best since Backlash 2004. Every match was entertaining, including Hemme and Victoria. I found the fight between Edge and Kane was highly entertaining. The WWE Championship with Raw's new boy John Cena against Christian and Chris Jericho was excellent. That is the results you get when Cena is in the ring with great workers who can carry him. If only he was able to pull of a better match at WrestleMania 21.Speaking of WrestleMania 21, the big rematch between Shawn Michaels and Kurt Angle did not disappoint. All be it, it wasn't as great as their epic battle at WM21 but it had me on the edge of my seat from the opening bell. These two are simply the best workers in the WWE at present. I can't wait for the decider.Hell in a Cell was another match that didn't disappoint at Vengeance. The perfect way to settle Raw's main feud that has been dominating our screens the best part of 2005. The match was the best match in their three match series. It was violent, brutal, vicious. I could be wrong but I think this was the tenth Hell in a Cell match on a WWE event and I felt this borough back some credit to the type of match. Too many times lately (Nash/HHH, HBK/HHH, HHH/Y2J) it has felt the cell has been brought out just for the sake of it. This was thankfully one occasion where it should have been used.Great event in all, Raw once again proves it is far superior. Lets just hope the remainder of the draft lottery gives Smackdown! some much needed talent on their roster.
Ikepoiyen668894 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.
wrestlingsitewebmaster 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
