Gr8 PPV-here's my summary.
1.Chris Benoit vs Orlando Jordan(U.S champ)
The saying don't blink, you'll miss a Benoit match lives up to its reputation as this one is over in under a minute! 3/5

2.Matt Hardy vs. Edge
Good match but sad ending. 3/5

3.Eugene vs Kurt Angle
OK match- this one has Kurt's gold medal on the line 3/5

4.Rey Mysterio vs Eddie Guerrero r.i.p 1967-2005
Cool match this one's 4 Dominic's custody papers in a ladder match! 4/5

5.JBL vs Batista (World Heavyweight champ)
Over quite quickly but good match anyway, it's no holds barred! 4/5

6. Undertaker vs Randy Orton
This match was good but not as good as I expected, a mysterious interference tipped the scales of the match in favour of Orton!
3/5

7.Chris Jericho vs John Cena (wwe champ)
Not being a big fan of Cena myself, I thought Jericho carried Cena through the match. As Cena started to get better though, so did the match. 3/5

8. Hulk Hogan vs. Shawn Michaels - first ever legend vs icon match!
Really, really, really good match worth paying the money just to see this. Although I was cheering for Michaels and the fans were cheering for Hogan, this was definitely the best match of the year!!!!! 5/5

This was one of the best PPVS of the year. Overall rating 9/10
