More good stuff from the last 2 teams.

¾*
So much for the Edge push.

Chris Benoit defeated Eddie Guerrero (16:47)
Benoit forced Guerrero to submit with the Crippler Crossface.
***1/2
You know what I've noticed? I don't think I've ever given Benoit vs. Eddie ****. Every match I feel they had was just really good and not great.

Batista defeated Kane (6:38)
Batista pinned Kane after a Batista Bomb.
½*
Some Raw shit thrown together to kill time.

Victoria defeated Trish Stratus and Jacqueline in a Triple Threat match to retain the WWE Women's Championship (4:28)
Victoria pinned Jacqueline after Stratus hit a Clothesline to Jacqueline and Victoria knocked out Trish with the title belt.
½*
Why is Jackie even employed still?

Kurt Angle defeated The Big Show to win the WWE Championship (12:36)
Angle pinned Big Show after Brock Lesnar interfered and hit Big Show with the F-5.
**
Not particularly good or anything but solid enough.

Triple H defeated Shawn Michaels in a 3 Stages Of Hell match to win the World Heavyweight Championship (35:25)
Triple H pinned Michaels in a Street Fight after a Pedigree (20:33)
Michaels pinned Triple H in a Steel cage match after a Splash off the cage through a table (29:45)
Triple H defeated Michaels in a Ladder match after retrieving the title belt (35:25)
***
Very dissapointing after Summerslam. A 35 minute match only getting ***?

~ 3 *** matches make this a throw-away show.
