Minneapolis, Minnesota
Target Center
Date: May 22nd, 2005
Heat Match:
Nunzio vs Akio
Winner: Nunzio (3:28)
So, the event starts, and there's no pyro whatsoever, just a straight cut to MnM's entrance. Kinda cack.
1. Tag Titles:
MnM (c) vs Hardcore Holly & Charlie Haas
My Prediction: MnM
Winners: MnM (8:06)
Match Rating: 8/10 - pretty good match, especially considering I thought it'd be awful. Some decent spots, namely from Haas, although I wasn't too keen on the predictable screwjob finish.
So, the Carlito match is about to start and then Sky go and have a sodding technical fault. Great.
2. Carlito vs The Big Show
My Prediction: The Big Show
Winner: Carlito (4:42)
Match Rating: 6/10 - Nothing special at all, really. Nice to see Morgan hit an F5, though. Oh, and damn you, Heavy Metal, convincing me to change my prediction.
3. Cruiserweight Title:
Paul London (c) vs Chavo Guerrero
My Prediction: Paul London
Winner: Paul London (10:41)
Match Rating: 8.5/10 - Some really nice spots here, but I wished it was a bit longer and had more high-flying action.
4. Booker T vs Kurt Angle
My Prediction: Kurt Angle
Winner: Booker T (14:01)
Match Rating: 8.5/10 - an entertaining, technical bout, but the ending seemed really out of nowhere o_O.
5. US Title:
Orlando Jordan vs Heidenreich
My Prediction: Heidenreich
Winner: Orlando Jordan (4:54)
Match Rating: 6/10 - Fairly crappy match, as expected, and it ended with a DDT of all moves. The girl constantly screaming outside the ring didn't help either >_<
6. Eddie Guerrero vs Rey Mysterio
My Prediction: Eddie Guerrero
Winner: Rey Mysterio via DQ (18:31)
Match Rating: 8.5/10 - Not as good as the Halloween Havoc 1997 match that they promised to top, but good nonetheless.
7. WWE Title:
John Cena (c) vs JBL
My Prediction: John Cena
Winner: John Cena (22:44)
Match Rating: 9/10 - Surprisingly match of the night. I didn't expect much, but it surprised me. A bunch of great spots, and both men were bloodied insanely. Shame it had such a poor ending though. Cena should've thrown JBL through the glass and THEN had him say "I Quit".
Not a great PPV, as has become natural with WWE.
