Christian vs Randy Orton from 2005


Randy Orton vs Christian (RAW 2.14.2005) by RatedREdgeHead316

I've been loving the current Randy Orton vs Christian series. Last night's match was a great match. One of the best either guy has ever been involved in. It reminded me these two had a match back in 2005 before Christian left for TNA.

This is a really good match. You can see the seeds for what a great work guy Christian would turn into in TNA and Orton was really good as well. He looked a lot bigger back then.


At some point Christian takes a hard blow to the face and develops a huge knot. Orton works it over thru out. Really good story of Christian trying to avoid the rKo. With Orton getting more creative in trying to hit it.

The finish is similar to last night but even better in my opinion.

Two matches



This is the famous six pack challenge from Unforgiven 99. Its Big Show vs Bulldog vs Kane vs Mankind vs Triple H vs the Rock.

Its done with a tag format. Not a ton of story. But a basic one with everyone but Bulldog hating HHH. Its worked very fast paced sinced everybody can come in quick spurts, hit their moves and tag out. Sometime having it break down and have everybody go at it. Austin is on commentary and doing a great job. Getting over everything and having fun.

There was a referee strike going on. They were tired if being abused. One ref crossed the picket line. Near the end as Big Show has Mankind pinned they pull him out of the ring. Austin's voice lights up like a kid found a dollar in the road. He beats the plop out of all the referees and takes over just in time to count three for Triple H. Of course HHH gets up in his grill So he gets a Stunner.







From 2009 Smackdown before Survivor Series. Its the team of JeriShow vs Undertaker and Kane.

Good match with a somewhat chicken poo finish. Great finishing sequence. Big Show hit a brutal looking spear to save Jericho from the chokeslam. Kane does a really good job playing face in peril. He almost makes it to Taker a few times, each time Big Show comes in and crushes Kane.

Undertaker is pacing excitedly before Kane finally makes the big tag. The match has an excellent finishing sequence. Jericho tries to get Taker in the Walls but its reversed into Hell's Gate but Show pulls Jericho out of the ring. Kane gets the better of Big Show. The Brothers of Destruction get set to chokeslam Show thru the announce table but Jericho makes the save.

Inside the ring Taker gets the best of Jericho. Big Show knocks out Kane outside the ring. He comes inside and saves Jericho by chokeslamming Undertaker. He helps up Jericho who unknowingly hits the Codebreaker on Big Show. Instead of pinning Taker he grabs the World Heavyweight belt and leaves.

This was to set up the Show vs Taker vs Jericho title match at Survivor Series. If Jericho had pinned Taker it would of been great. As is it sounds like another chickenshit WWE finish. They wanted to set up Survivor Series but did not want Undertaker pinned so they did this. Still a good match.
