YEAR IN REVIEW | The WWE in 2005 (Full Year Documentary) 

Thanks for watching, what should we cover in future videos? Also, make sure to drop a like to help get the video picked up by RU-vid’s algorithm 💪🏻👊🏻🤘🏻

2005 was one of the best years of my childhood. The saddest thing to occur in that year is the loss of a great legend in Eddie Guerrero.

Batista face turn is still one of the best ending of raw ever

2005 was definitely a step up from 2004. I think 2006-2007 were the last two years of WWE that felt special. It started to fall off after that

Going back to watch RAWs from 2005 and 2006, it’s shocking how fast fans turned against Cena. It didn’t help that Cena basically held the WWE title for 2 years, from April 2005 - January 2006, January 2006 - June 2006, and September 2006 - September 2007. WWE really crammed him down our throats.

wwe in 2005 was the most phenomenal year. the rise of cena and batista, the deep storyline of rey eddie and dominik, as well as eddie's unexpected demise, even the rivalry of orton and taker.

I stopped watching wrestling in 2003. But am definitely here for this series.. Maybe a separate series for WCW years in review?

Except for Eddie's death, 2005 was an awesome year for WWE.

Eddie Guerrero passing was probably the most well known thing in 2005’s WWE

2005 was both an amazing year but also an incredibly sad one with the sudden passing of Eddie Guerrero.

I love 2005 wrestlemania 21 undertaker vs randy but my grandfather passed away in 2005

This has to be WWE’s most complete year from start to finish. Everything about this year smacked cheeks. Cena and Batista’s rise, Shawn vs Kurt, The OG SmackDown vs Raw Survivor Series fued, Orton and Taker, Rey vs Eddie, Edge and Matt Hardy. The production, the formatting, every show felt like a can’t miss, and every show today is still a must watch.

2005 gave us the birth of two of WWE's modern megastars in Batista and John Cena. It was also the time we fans mourned the passing of the late great Eddie Guerrero.

The best year of the Ruthless Aggression era

RIP Vince's quads

2005 was a good year. Only major issue was the push of the not-yet-ready John Cena. While he would end up becoming a legitimate wrestler and worth of the main event tier by the end of the decade, the damage was done with the hasty push. It's why fans quickly turned on Roman; most of us had already seen a similar rushed push in Cena. It also proved that Vince could never get over the fact he lost Hogan, even when he had Hogan back. The two things that stand out for me for this year, besides the infamous botched Rumble ending (if Vince wasn't a stubborn man even then, he should've rolled with it) were the Streak and Eddie. The Streak, IMO, should've ended that night. The nuclear levels of heat Orton would've gotten on RAW the next night (Yes, Orton jumps to RAW for one night to gloat), solidifying his status as the Legend Killer. We know why he didn't, out of respect for Taker, and we wouldn't have obtained the tetralogy (it is a word, Google it) between him and DX. God the boos he would've been getting. Doubt he'd getting. As for Eddie, I've only three words for how much I miss him: *¡Viva la raza!*

I remember watching all this at 15 now I'll be 33 this coming week time Flies by so fast lol 😆

Cena and Batista has DOMINATED WWE as World Champions in 2005. Sam, Clover, Alex, Britney, Mandy, Caitlin, Dominique, Muffy Peprich, Arnold Jackson from Totally Spies have Graduated Beverly Hills High School.

I’ll never forget the moment I heard Latino Heat had passed. 💔 What a legend Eddie was! 🌹🔥

Hey can we have 2006😭😭♥️ I enjoy the year in review more than anything

*This was a pretty good year for the WWE* - John Cena and Batista as the top world champions - Batista vs Triple H feud - WrestleMania 21 was great - Edge vs Matt Hardy feud - WWE SVR 2006 was released - ECW One Night Stand was a success

This series along with “Reliving The War” from Wrestling Bios is my favorite pro wrestling content out. Amazing job by both.

As a longtime wrestling fan since the late 80s, '05 was when I started watching less and less. '95 was a bad year, but the Monday Night Wars was able to keep my interest. Since '02, I felt that the writing had been continually declining, and so did the ratings. By the midpoint of the decade, I began only watching the storylines/matches that intrigued me like Trish Stratus vs Mickie James and Undertaker's WrestleMania streak.

2005 was the HEIGHT of the Ruthless Aggression Era in my opinion. Just like 2000 was the height of the Attitude Era. John Cena became the new face of the company, Batista ended Triple H’s 3-year Reign Of Terror, Undertaker and Randy Orton had their amazing Legend vs Legend Killer feud, Edge became the first Mr Money in the Bank, ECW was brought back, Eddie and Rey had their infamous feud over Dominik, and of course the Matt Hardy/Edge/Lita love triangle which was a real issue turned into a storyline. The only bad thing from that year was Eddie Guerrero’s unfortunate death.

2005-2006 were my favorite years of wrestling during my childhood

You neglected to mention the "Chair Shot Heard Round the World" courtesy of Stevie Richard's for what JBL did to Meanie 🤣 most beautiful thing ever

This was the year I started really watching wrestling , so it will always be nostalgic to me. One of the last really good years!

2005 was an Excellent Year and excellent experience for all the Superstars and Us as Fans to Sit back and enjoy PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING as a whole Squad. 🎆🎇🧨🎉🎉🎉 Also RIP Eddie Guerrero

R.I.P Eddie Guerrero Nice and informative Video as allways

we will miss you eddie

It’s always fun seeing how WWE looked the year I was born.

Vince McMahon tore both his quads from that Royal Rumble match for nothing in hindsight 😂. That botch was actually one of the better moments in history I’d say for something we’d never really seen before.

The rise of Peacemaker and Drax.

I watched wrestling religiously from 05-07. This was no doubt my favorite year

When is 2006 and the rest of the years coming? I'm reliving my childhood through these recap videos please!!!

Me being a 26 year old this was my peak WWE favorite most nostalgic year

Shelton Bnejamin has been heavly overlooked for years.

Was waiting so much for this !!!!!

I started watching in 2005 so I've been *dying* for this documentary

Been waiting for this! Thank you, Andy!

Love this series! Can't wait for the 2010's reviews. More power to the channel!

Thank you soo much. Please keep these going :)

I started watching wrestling in 2005. I don't watch so much any more but Wrestlemania 21 and One Night Stand are still fond memories for me. Great video!

Fun fact wwe in 2005 had the most bought ppvs in history of wwe only behind 2001

2005 was definitely the year that not only saw the changing of the guard but the rise of John Cena and Batista who would both go on to become two of the biggest stars in the company by winning world championship gold at Wrestlemania 21 from both JBL & Triple H respectively. Randy Orton would re establish himself as a top heel in an epic feud with The Undertaker while Edge would step up his game up by winning the money in the bank briefcase and also become a top heel in his own right. One of my favourite years in the ruthless aggression era

SD vs Raw started in 05. Played that series up til 2013 I believe.

The year of my childhood. Batista vs Triple H, John Cena vs JBL, Randy Orton vs Undertaker and Eddie Guerrero vs Rey Mysterio. Those feuds DEFINED 2005.

Rip eddie Oct 9 1967 to November 13 2005 #ViaLaRiza

The fact that Eddie Guerrero passed away the same year I was born is upsetting.... I didn't get the chance to see him fight live

2005 was the year I started watching wrestling. I still remember balling my eyes out when I heard Eddie died because I was just a kid I didn't watch the news so I just turned on smackdown and boom. He's gone.

I was 24 and married. Lol

Thank you so muchi was waiting for this 🤩🤩🤩

Eddie Guerrero, my favorite pro wrestler of all time. RIP. True greatness. 2005 also my favorite year.

Can’t wait for 2006 I’m just not getting into WWE and I want to learn everything thank you so much

2005 is probably the last really good year in WWE before the post attitude era drop off, although admittedly, it seems like things are in the ups now.

Can You Do The WWE In 2018 Full Year Documentary Next Please

My cousin Tweety gave birth to her 3rd child Amarion Franklin Stevens on October 7, 2005 was Friday before the Weekend.

Vince McMahon injuring himself at the Royal Rumble was too funny.

I remember laughing at the HBK/Hogan match. I thought it was a joke. I guess the joke was on Hogan

It's interesting to see people raving about 2005. Anyone who grew up watching the WWF in the late 90s will tell you that the mid noughties was when the product started going downhill.

This was the last year I stopped watching wrestling on TV, and started tuning in here on YT

Raw: Very Good Smackdown!: Ok

Boss the content was awesome. I hope you create thous types video in future.....🖤🖤🖤

Up next: The WWE in 2006: A Year in Review!

I love this series

0:57 7:14 13:49 16:50 Yes!

I Enjoy Your Video 📸 Wrestle With Andy Keep Up The Good Work 👍.

Is there anywhere I can watch this stuff since WWE network isn’t taking premium subscriptions anymore

Can't wait for 2006 video 😁😁

I don't remember seeing Matt Hardy on the No Mercy card.

2004-2007 was my run as a wwe fan. It seems like it was longer tbh but for those 3 years i wanted nothing more than monday and thursday/friday nights to come quick

R.I.P. Akee Bono

Love vidoes like this, but where is WWE in 2006, 2007, 2008 etc?

Vince didn't blow out both quads in the ring. HHH said in an interview he only blew one and the other was backstage while vince was trying to walk off and no-sell the injured knee. HHH said he was right next to him and it sounded like a gunshot when it blew out.

The year I finished school... Best year of my life so far. xD

That custody of Dominik Mysterio had ruined things now. Because he can't come in his own as a wrestler with WWE and Dom consistently bringing up Eddie Guerrero and the storyline. It's become so cringe.

I love the 2005

I used to leave home for school and instead of going to school, I used to go to a coffee shop and watch Raw live (it aired in the morning in the ME).

The first year I started watching WWE. Remained a hardcore fan until around 2020, even when it was rough going to be a fan. Good year, 2005.

8:24 If you remember when Judgment Day was a PPV and not a group, then you had an awesome childhood. 😂

Please continue this series

Wrestling sort of just went downhill after 2001. It was like up and down...all the way up until now. Some stuff was good and some stuff was bad.

Yoooo 2005 really was a fun year!!😁

The year of John Cena vol1 the beginning of the Cena era

Best year of my childhood alot happen this year

The video I been waiting for

JBL was the fucking man

6:57 I find it wholesome how the JBL Dollar girl got 1. A JBL $100 bill and got to hug the next champ 😊

The Year Cena became a star and eventually the face of the company and Batista becoming a huge star as well

Batista Won Royal Rumble.. Pwi Rank No 1 .. Batista 🙌

2005 is one of my all time favorite years in wwe Sadly Eddie Guerrero Passed That Same Year R.I.P Latino Heat

Went from a Freshmen to a Sophomore in 2005.

Year i got into watching it i love this

I'm looking forward to your videos on 2008 and the years after, this is when I stopped watching WWE as a kid and I'm wanting to know what has happened since then.

My most favorite era of all my school time era ( Known as attitude era in WWE)

Muhhamed Hassan was the best heel of 2005

The year I got into wrestling

Can’t believe my childhood is just in the past like that lol I remember being so in awe and curious when my cousin showed me SvR2007 Also how I stumbled across Smackdown by just switching through channels on the tv and then coming across it.

Man what a crazy year. This was the year I got into wrestling. The Matt Hardy and Edge feud sucked me in 😂

Little correction: triple h didnt retain the title at that year's chamber. The title was vacant and he won it for the tenth time. Also, eddie and rey were still tag team champions when they faced each other at wrestlemania 😅. Love these vids, great job 💪
