Watch WWE Armageddon 2005 For Free

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

The best Armageddon for five years. That was the thought when I looked at the card on paper and when I watched it. Armageddon in 2001/2002/2003/2004 was a let down, but in 2005 something changed. Sure not everything on the card was perfect, but it was a decent effort by the WWE.Bobby Lashley defeated William Regal and Birchill in a passable match. Kane and Big Show defeated Rey Mysterio and Batista, Batty and Rey showed great chemistry together and the match was good. Kid Kash defeated Juventud to capture the Cruiserweight title in a poor match, sad to say that but Kash and Juvi were superb talent before WWE laid their hands onto them. MNM defeated Super Crazy and Psicosis in a very good match. JBL defeated Matt Hardy in a good match. Chris Benoit defeated Booker T in an enjoyable match. The Undertaker defeated Randy Orton in a good Hell in a Cell.Overall Grade - B+

The first match was JBL v Matt Hardy. An obvious squash match but a good way match to start a PPV.JBL started with an immediate offence and Matt Hardy had his head caught up in the ropes as JBL started kicking Matt with straight kicks to the head.After getting out, JBL started hitting Matt Hardy repeatedly.Later on the referee was checking on Matt and JBL took off the pad on the turnbuckle, Irish whipped Matt there and finished it with the clothesline from Hell.The match showed how JBL can be very vicious in the ring with his hands and feet. The second match put MNM and The Mexicools in a very good match for a tag team match.MNM showed that they are tag team championship material and beat the Mexicools with a snap-shot on Super Crazy.During the match the Mexicools and MNM pulled off some great moves. A contender for match of the night was match number 4 in the best of seven series for the United States Championship.If Booker won he would be United States Champion by winning 4-0.If Benoit won he would pull it back to 3-1.A great match with suspense and even though Benoit won, and you knew he would because of how the story line was panning out, you sometimes felt that Booker would win.A very good match for WWE fans to watch. Lashley defeated Regal and Birchall in a squash match which was OK but obvious who would win.I believe this match was made because of how good Regal made Lashley look two weeks before-hand.Lashley won with a Dominator to Birchall after reversing many double team moves. The next match was Juventud against Kid Kash.Any ECW fan would know that Kid Kash's matches are quite fast paced, but this one was slowed down to a normal WWE paced match. Next saw the Raw vs. SmackDown match with World Tag Team Champions, Kane and the Big Show vs WWE Tag Team Champions Rey Mysterio and Batista, who was also the World Heavy-weight Champion.Rey Mysterio worked most of the match and ended up with Kane Chokeslamming Mysterio for the win. Finally the long-awaited Hell in a Cell match....which has to be seen to be believed.A fantastic match with many,many weapons used including chairs, stairs and a table.Bob Orton came in to help Randy but got Tombstoned, Randy received a Last Ride and a Tombstone Piledriver and Undertaker got the win.Also in the show The Boogeyman made an appearance beating up Nunzio and Vito and making Vito eat worms.The low-point of the night was when Josh Matthews was interviewing a former referee from the WWE and did the Triple H vs Chris Jericho match and after the interview he was supposed to have shot himself because of it.That was very low by the WWE.A very good PPV and I strongly recommend it. JBL DEF. MATT HARDY:8/10 MNM DEF. MEXICOOLS:9/10 CHRIS BENOIT DEF. BOOKER-T:9/10 LASHLEY DEF. REGAL & BIRCHILL:HANDICAP:7/10 KID KASH DEF. JUVENTUD:8/10 KANE & BIG SHOW DEF. MYSTERIO & BATISTA:9/10 UNDERTAKER DEF. RANDY ORTON:HELL IN A CELL:10/10

As far as a Smackdown! pay-per-view goes, Armageddon 2005 was one of the best. I couldn't tell you the last time I actually looked forward to a SD only event.The Hell in the Cell match pitting Randy Orton and The Undertaker was excellent. It was more Taken/HBK that it was Taker/Foley. Chairs, tables, ring steps and blood galore. It lived up to the hype. The only thing that disappointed with this match was the outcome. The Dead Man should have done the right thing and lay down for Orton as Mick Foley did in April 2004. What point did it make have the Undertaker win yet another Hell in a Cell match. WWE needs to be thinking long term. It must surly be time now for Randy Orton to move on to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship and a win at Armageddon would have set this up perfectly.The under-card was also good, JBL/Hardy, Mexicools/MNM, Benoit/Booker T and Raw vs Smackdown!. I thought Kane was going to plant Mysterio through the ring with that choke-slam. The only thing that let the event down was the out of ring actions. The segment featuring the "suicide" of former ref Timmy White was one of the most ridiculous and pointless things I've ever witnessed and who the hell wants to see the Boogeyman eat worms? I don't, lets hope he chokes and puts us all out of our misery one day.All in all, from an in ring stand point Armageddon 2005 was the best December pay-per-view I can recall watching. Lets hope it is a sign of things to come from Smackdown! in 2006.

This was a great PPV! I recommend it to all WWE fans. The Hell In A Cell was the best part. Randy Orton got hurt badly. It is one of the best PPVs in my book. I simply loved it! The other matches were also thrilling. Batista & Mysterio vs. Kane & Big Show was a classic. If you are a serious WWE fan, then I recommend this to you. You simply cannot pass this one up. I went to see this live, and was very impressed! I won a Batista shirt as well! I highly recommend this. This was one of my favorites. Everyone will love this. It's a bit gory, though. This a PPV to remember. You MUST watch this, if you are a hardcore WWE fan!! Armageddon 2005 was just....."UNFORGETTABLE!"
