Customer Reviews

New years Revolution.
Matches
William Regal and Eugene vs Christian and Tyson Tomko: A card filler really but still a good match to warm up the audience. Christian should stick to singles action from now on. 6/10

Lita vs Trish Stratus WWE Womens Championship: If Lita didn't injure herself it could have been a better match. Trish is probably better at wrestling. 5/10

Shelton Benjamin vs Maven Intercontinental Championship: What happenned here? Maven complains that he never gets a title shot then he loses, TWICE! Shelton Benjamin's definitely gonna be awesome in the next few years. 4/10

Gene Snitsky vs Kane: WWE gave us a crap match between these two at Taboo Tuesday so they owed us a thriller! And we got one. Gene Snitsky gave it everything he's got but Kane's experience was separated these two evenly matched super-stars. And what was with Snitsky biting Kane's ear, is there gonna be cannibalism in the future of the WWE? I hope not. 10/10

Chris Benoit vs Triple H vs Batista vs Randy Orton vs Chris Jericho vs Edge (Shawn Michaels special guest referee) Elimination Chamber World Heavyweight Championship: This was WWE at it's best, ELIMINATION CHAMBER! First edge spears HBK and gets sweet chin musiced and lion saulted, he's out. Then after some amazing moves and fights (including Benoits diving headbutt off the top of the cnamber and the double submission crippler crossface and walls of Jericho both on Triple H)then in comes a fresh Batista who dominated. A few powerbombs later Jericho and Benoit are gone and we're down to three. Randy Orton got rid of Batista with a low blow and an RKO but then lost out in the final two thanks to a Batista clothesline and a Triple H pedigree. Suprise suprise, Triple H has won it again thanks to Evolution! This was the birth of a whole new Batista who can't be stopped by anyone, him or Orton should have won. 10/10

Who cares about the other matches when you've got an Elimination chamber! That's what got this payperview 5 stars, Ekimination Chamber should definitely be around more often! This is a must buy for any major WWE fan!

The Game Begins
The set out was good, with a couple of palm tree's and the San Juan crowd was better than most American crowds of 2004, behind the matches from start to finish.

1. World Tag Titles
Eugene & William Regal Vs. Christian & Tyson Tomko
Good opener, it always is if Christian's involved, Eugene legitamitly dislocated his knee cap after a drop kick. 6/10

2. Intercontinental Title
Shelton Benjamin Vs. Maven
Maven was injured for this match so he did alot of talking and Shelton finished him quickly with a t-bone suplex twice! 3/10

3. Jerry Lawler Vs. Muhammad Hassan
Lawler still proved he is one of the best in this match with his legendary wrestling abilities, Hassan also made this a very good match. 7/10

4. Gene Snitsky Vs. Kane
Not a bad match to say both men are 300 pounds or above.
5/10

5. World Hevayweight Title
Elimination Chamber Match (special guest referee - Shawn Michaels)
Batista Vs. Chris Benoit Vs. Chris Jericho Vs. Edge Vs. Randy Orton Vs. Triple H

Good match, best of the night, Triple H still showing he's the best in the business at the moment.
8/10

This was a very good pay-per view to start 2005 and better than any 2004 Raw event.

New Year's Revolution!
N.Y.R. was the first PPV of 2005 and showed that WWE was going to be a Hell of a lot better than those of 2004 (ie. Unforgiven and No Mercy).

World Tag Team Championship Match
William Regal & Eugene vs. Christian & Tyson Tomko
A good match that got the PPV off to a good start. Some good technical and power moves, though Eugene was injured during the match and this would put him out of the WWE for a few months. Christian is so much better on his own and hope he wins the WWE championship tonight at Veneance! William Regal was being dominated by Christian and Tomko, then Eugene knocks Tomko over the ropes and rolls Captain Charisma up for the 3 count.
Winners: William Regal & Eugene
7/10

Women's Championship Match
Lita vs. Trish Stratus
Far better than their Survivor Series match which was horrible, however Trish damaged Lita's leg and landed the Chick Kick to once again become the Women's champion.
Winner: Trish Stratus
5/10

Intercontinental Championship Match
Shelton Benjamin vs. Maven
This can't really be described as wrestling because Benjamin won after about 5 seconds. Maven complained after losing and demanded a rematch; Benjamin ran back in, dodged Maven's shot and landed a T-Bone suplex to secure a second win. The second match lasted about 3 seconds. What is it with Benjamin? Orton killed off Foley, Slaughter and Michaels before losing his I.C. title to Edge, holding the belt for 7 months (at the time the longest reign in 7 years), then Benjamin became champion and beat that record! What?
Winner: Shelton Benjamin
4/10

Muhammad Hassan vs. Jerry 'The King' Lawler
Not as bad as some people have made out (although 'The King' seems to have lost all of his wrestling skills). JR had a small argument with Hassan but refused to DQ 'King' by getting involved. Hassan planted his Complete Shot to get the win.
Winner: Muhammad Hassan
7/10

Grudge Match
Snitsky vs. Kane
Compared to Taboo Tuesday this match was great. Kane was out of wrestling from October to January staring in 'Goodnight', but he made a good comeback and fought a relatively clean match for a heel superstar (the crowd actually chanted for Kane). Kane delivered the Tombstone to Snitsky to secure one of only 2 PPV wins from 2004/2005 (Defeating Matt Hardy at SummerSlam 2004).
Winner: Kane
8/10

Elimination Chamber Match for the World Heavyweight Championship
Edge vs. Triple H vs. Benoit vs. Batista vs. Orton vs. Jericho
Special Referee: Shawn Michaels
Easily the best Chamber match of the 3, with the World title vacant meaning there had to be a new champion that night. But with Triple H losing his 9th World title reign, you could have guessed who would walk out champion.
Edge accidentally Spears the amazing HBK and recieves a Sweet Chin Music followed by a Jericho Lionsault for his troubles.
Chris Benoit, perhaps the greatest technical wrestler alive gave it everything he had, even performing a suicidal Diving Headbutt off of the Chamber.
Y2J fought well, perhaps not as good as in the 1st Chamber back at Survivor Series 2002, and went down at the wrath of 'The Animal'.
R.K.O. showed he has remained just as good inside his second Chamber match, though now considerably more popular, and should have been the man to win this match and pick up his second title reign.
Triple H gave everyone Hell, until Orton came in, and showed how he could always manipulate people (Batista, Eugene). However, Evolution was on the edge of collapsing and Batista had realized that Triple H was so obsessed with the title that 'The Animal' could never win it without 'betraying' Evolution.
Batista showed everyone how much he has improved, love him or hate him, and why he deserved to win the Royal Rumble, defeat Triple H at WrestleMania 21 and why he should end 'The Game's' incredible score of wins inside Hell-In-A-Cell tonight at Vengeance! He was the only man in the match who eliminated 2 people.
Winner: Triple H
10/10

This is not the one of the best PPVs overall, but in terms of the main event it could easily be one of the best of 2004/2005 (SummerSlam 2004 and WrestleMania 21 are perhaps the best).
