TNA Wrestling: Final Resolution (2005)
Decent
When I rented this DVD, I was hoping for a great show like other TNA PPV's I've watched, but to tell you the truth, I was a little let-down. Here's a recap of the matches on a scale of 1 to 5 stars (*****).
Michael Shane, Frankie Kazarian, and Chritopher Daniels vs. 3-Live Crew: Decent opener, some good spots. ** ½
Elix Skipper vs. SonjayDutt: Good high flying exciting contest. ***
Kid Kash vs. DustinRhodes: Not as good as I thought. **
Eric Watts vs. Raven: Slow paced,with some OK spots. **
Jeff Hardy vs. Scott Hall (Guest Referee: RoddyPiper): I was expecting better from two veterans, but I was let down. *½
No.1 Contender's Match: Monty Brown vs. Kevin Nash vs. DDP: The last few matches haven't been the best, and this one follows. **
NWA TagTeam Championships: Team Canada (Bobby Rude & Eric Young) (champions)w/ Scott D'Amore vs. America's Most Wanted: Wow! After the last below-average matches, this one really turned it up. Very exciting, dramatic false finishes, possibly the best match of the night. **** ½
Ultimate X Match for X-Division Championship: AJ Styles vs. Petey Williams (champion) vs. Chris Sabin: Two great matches in a row, the first time on the card. Very exciting, fast paced. Lots of high spots. **** ½
NWA Championship: Jeff Jarrett (champion) vs. Monty Brown: OK match, not as good as the last two, but still OK. ***
OK ppv, I was expecting a little better, but I still enjoyed it. If your looking for a good TNA PPV, watch Destination X 2005.
Overall Grade: ** ½
WWE No Mercy (2005)
Not as good as I expected.
When I ordered WWE No Mercy, I was expecting a good show. To tell you the truth, I was mildly disappointed. Anyways, I will recap the matches on a scale of 1 to 5 stars (*****).
1.Six person mixed tag team match: L.O.D and Christy Hemme vs. MNM: OK match, kind of slow paced but the finish was good, with Christy hitting the Doomsday Device. L.O.D and Christy win it. **
2. Bobby Lashley vs.Simon Dean: Boring slow paced match. Lashley comes out on top in this one,even though he missed the finishing spot on his first attempt. *
3.Fatal 4 way match for the United States championship: Chris Benoit (champion) vs. Booker T vs. Christian vs. Orlando Jordan: Entertaining fast paced match up, probably the best of the night. Benoit retains by making Christian tap out. *** 1/2
4. Hardcore Holly vs. Ken Kennedy:Pretty boring match, even though i find Kennedy very funny. Ken Kennedywins it with his awesome finishing move. *1/2
5. Rey Mysterio vs. John "Bradshaw" Layfield: I was expecting better out of this one. Good bump though, when Mysterio hits the steps. JBL wins it with a clothesline from hell. ***
6. Handicap Casket match: Undertaker vs. Randy and Bob Orton: Not bad considering Bob Orton shouldn't have even been it. It would of been a better match if it would of been just between 'Taker and Randy. Pretty good, nonetheless, even though the burning casket at the end was pretty lame.The Ortons take this one in a pretty decent match. ****
7.Cruiserweight championship: Nunzio (chmapion) vs. Juventud: If only Vince would give the cruiser weights more time. Pretty short match. Juvi becomes the new champ. **
8. World Heavyweight championship: Batista (champion) vs. Eddie Guerrero: OK match. Batista is showing improvement, but the match still lacked the emotion of a good main event. Batista retains with a vicious spine buster. ***
Overall, this pay-per view could have been much better. Hopefully, the WWE can learn from this, and improve in the next pay-per views. ** 1/2
