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.

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
One of the main reasons I got this DVD is because of getting to listen to Jonanthan Coachman commentate. Besides that though, this had some great matches and some entertaining cross-brand commentating with cross-brand matches.1. Chris Benoit vs. Booker T with Sharmell (6 stars) It looked OK. There was some decent back and forth and action.2. Cross-Brand Women's Title Match, Trish vs. Melina (4 stars) It was hard to believe that Melina still didn't beat Trish given that she had Mercury and Nitro at ringside for a while. It was fun listening to Tazz and Joey Styles argue.3. Triple H vs. Ric Flair in a Last Man Standing Match (10 stars) This was the best match of night. It was a long and it was full of action both inside the ring and outside of the ring. They both showed a lot of potential.Edge bashing Detroit, classless and pointless. Was all that really necessary?4. WWE Championship Match Kurt Angle vs. John Cena with Daivari as the Special Guest Referee. (7 stars) The outcome was rather insulting since Kurt Angle should've definitely had it in the bag given that Daivari favored Kurt the entire time until other referees came in there. 5. General Manager vs. General Manager of Eric Bischoff with Teddy Long (3 stars) Neither one are regular full-time wrestlers. It was great though, listening to the cross-commentating of Michael Cole and Jonathan Coachman. That made it it entertaining.6. Team RAW vs. Team Smackdown (9 stars) This was a fun, variety-filled, action packed match with up to 0 wrestlers and all 5 commentators calling the action all at the same time.
In the past we've had Survivor Series were WWE have produced stunning PPV's and this is no exception, but two disappointments: Only one traditional Survivor Series Match The Eric Bischoff vs Teddy Long match.Results from the PPV: Booker T defeated Chris Benoit in a very good match, but what would you expect from two veterans? John Cena defeated Kurt Angle to retain the WWE Championship with Daivari as referee.Trish Stratus retained the Women's Championship by defeating Melina in a good match.Teddy Long defeated Eric Bischoff in a p*ss poor match.Triple H defeated Ric Flair in a good match.Team Smackdown! (Batista, Rey Mysterio, Lashley, JBL and Randy Orton) defeated Team Raw (Shawn Michaels, Kane, Carlito, Chris Masters and Big Show). Orton nailed HBK with the RKO for the win.Overall not bad and this Raw vs SD! feud has me glued to my seat.Overall Grade - A
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.
