#4 Vengeance 2005

Epic line up

What a fantastic line-up, perhaps the best line up ever for a single branded show. The RAW roster in 2005 was pretty damn stacked with great talent and this card was the perfect example of how incredible it was.

New WWE Intercontinental Champion Carlito, opened the show defending his title with former Champion Shelton Benjamin, which he won in a decent match.

Victoria hammered Christy Hemme in a short match. Kane downed Edge in a good match, which provoked lively 'You Screwed Matt' chants throughout.

John Cena retained the WWE Championship over Chris Jericho and Christian in an exciting Triple Threat match.

Naturally, it was the upper mid-card Christian who took the fall. Captain Charisma gave a great performance, a shame this Championship pursuit ended shortly after.

Batista gave arguably the best performance of his career in a brutal and thrilling Hell in A Cell match. It was better than all the matches they had before and after.

The best match of the night and one of the best matches of the entire year came from Kurt Angle and Shawn Michaels in a rematch of their WrestleMania 21 classic. This was almost as excellent, going almost 30 minutes, this was wrestling at damn well perfection.
