Customer Ratings & Reviews

Ever since it's introduction in 2002, I have NEVER been a fan of the WWE's brand extension (I hope they end it once and for all). But as it relates to this Raw PPV, it is the BEST RAW PPV and the best overall brand PPV ever, and that's saying a lot. You'll truly see why in my review of this event: Carlito vs. Shelton Benjamin - Intercontinental Title, ***(A good way to start off the show and get the crowd hyped, Carlito picks up the victory in this one) Christy Hemme vs. Victoria, *1/2 (standard women's match here, nothing special about this one) Kane vs. Edge, ** (Man, these two feuding 1 year prior to this event, with the storyline here being as weird as this one in 04, an average match to be sure, but the EXCELLENCE begins from here) By the way, before I get to the final three matches, please skip the segment with Viscera, Lilian, and the Godfather. Don't even bother with those. Shawn Michaels vs. Kurt Angle, ****3/4 (I'm actually torn on the rating for this one. For the Wrestlemania 21 match, I gave it 5 stars, as this one is close to that rating too. This was another CLASSIC match in their series. Not better than the original, but it's STILL excellent.) John Cena vs. Christian vs. Chris Jericho - WWE Title, **** (Yes, this deserves 4 stars. This was another excellent match. It's too bad that Christian left for TNA. Other than that, each star delivered great performances here.) Batista vs. Triple H - World Title Cell Match, ****1/4 (Wow. What a GREAT match this was. Batista had already defeated HHH twice. But in this match, HHH REALLY put Batista over as something special.) Overall, I truly recommend the DVD to any fan. You won't regret this purchase. You have Michaels vs. Angle II, Batista vs. HHH III, and Christian in first match for the WWE title. What more can you ask for!!!

This ppv was a solid showing from the WWE. I will say the main event steals the show and is a prime example of what a Hell in a Cell match should be. Great stuff!
