Tonight we find out whether “good friends” Batista and Eddie Guerrero have no mercy for one another as they battle in tonights main event. Palmer Cannon has been a thorn in Teddy Long’s side as of late, showing up on Smackdown as a network representative and sticking his oar in where it doesn’t belong. With Teddy Long aobut to announce Rey Mysterio as Batista’s next PPV opponent, Palmer interrupted and instead announced Eddie Guerrero. Since then Eddie has tried to gain the trust of Batista and although claiming to have turned a corner, he did accidentally knock Batista down with a steel chair on Smackdown a week ago. Batista, although not trusitng Eddie, has been humouring him and tonight at No Mercy we find out what Guerrero is willing to do to take back the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

There are three title matches in all tonight. Chris Benoit was given the opportunity to name his own opponent for his United States Championship and after weighing up Booker T, Christian and Orlando Jordan, Benoit decided to wrestle against all three men at No Mercy in a fatal four way match. Benoit has had the better of Orlando Jordan over recent weeks, beating the former champion in under 30 seconds on multiple occasions. Meanwhile Christian has been stirring the pot with Booker T, converting Sharmell to his way of thinking with Benoit his target. The Cruiserweight title is also set to be defended as Nunzio defends against the winner of a number one contendership battle royal, Juventud Guerrera. Nunzio has Vito in his corner but Juventud will be joined by Psicosis and Super Crazy.

Randy Orton defeated The Undertaker at Summerslam with help from his father, Cowboy Bob Orton. Since then, Randy and Bob tried to mock The Undertaker first appearing with a casket and inside of it was a waxwork model of The Undertaker himself. The Ortons appeared again with the waxwork but this time it was the real Undertaker who chokeslammed both men. The following week The Undertaker bought out a double casket with models of both Ortons inside. Tonight The Undertaker battles both Randy Orton and Cowboy Bob Orton in the first ever hanidcap casket match. Another big match pits John “Bradshaw” Layfield against Rey Mysterio. Layfield has mocked Mysterio’s Mexican heritage and mocked Mysterio’s size. They go one on one tonight.

The WWE Tag Team Championships will not be defended tonight as the champions Animal and Heidenreich team up with Christy Hemme to take on MNM. Christy has recently taken up a bit of a managerial role with the tag team champions and whilst MNM look to take the titles back at some point, tonight there will be a 6 person mixed tag team match. Two newcomers to Smackdown will also get singles matches tonight. Mr Kennedy is a loud, obnoxious newcomer, something that Hardcore Holly takes exception to. Those two will meet one on one tonight. As will Bobby Lashley and Simon Dean. Simon Dean fought Lashley on his Smackdown debut and couldn’t get the better of the hench superstar. They meet again tonight.

The show kicks off with a video package hyping Eddie Guerrero and Batista. It’s mainly focused on Guerrero and whether he can be trusted or not. The video package then shifts to The Undertaker and Randy Orton. Michael Cole then welcomes us to Houston Texas whilst a new “No Mercy” theme plays. Cole is joined by Tazz.

Animal, Heidenreich & Christy Hemme vs. MNM (Joey Mercury, Johnny Nitro & Melina)

It’s a No Mercy debut for all six involved in this match. Melina goes into this match undefeated on pay per view having beaten Torrie Wilson in her only previous PPV match. The WWE Tag Team Championships held by Animal and Heidenreich not on the line tonight. Heidenreich grabs Johnny Nitro and pulls him into the ring to start the match. Animal hits Nitro with a big slam and then tags in Heidenreich who takes Nitro out with a big clothesline for the first near fall of the night. Heidenreich tags Animal back in and the tag team champions hit a double reverse elbow. Animal hits a clothesline on Nitro in the corner and then tries for a second but Nitro reverses the Irish whip and tags in Joey Mercury. Mercury hits some kicks to Animals injured shoulder and then drives him into the turnbuckle. Mercury takes a cheap shot at Heidenreich and then he and Mercury hit the snapshot on Animal! The referee is slow to make the count and as a result Animal kicks out.

Mercury tags Nitro back in and I think that finisher spot happened too early into this match. Plenty of double teaming from MNM in this one as they continue to work Aninals arm. Nitro tags in Mercury who comes in off the second rope. Mercury applies an armbar and then hits a neckbreaker for a near fall. Mercury then heads to the top but Animal catches him and hits a slam for a two count. All hell breaks loose as all four men get into it. Nitro disposes of Heidenreich but then misses with a jump off the apron. Melina tags herself in and goes to the top but Animal catches her and tags in Christy Hemme! Big pop for Christy who hits a big clothesline on Melina. Christy hits a hurricanrana, kinda notched but it’ll do. Animal then pops Melina on his shoulders, Christy heads to the top and hits the doomsday device! Christy hooks the leg and gets the 3! Christy, Animal and Heidenreich win the match tonight. Slightly unexpected, I thought MNM might get the win.

Layfield says he’ll beat Mysterio tonight and then Mysterio shows up and gives Layfield a mask to hide himself from the shame tonight. Bradshaw turns it down so Mysterio gives it Jillian instead.

This, like every match so far, is a first PPV meeting. Bradshaw has a 3-2 record at No Mercy events compared to Rey Mysterio’s 0-3 record at this event. Mysterio has lost at the last 3 No Mercy PPV’s. Layfield looks to become the first man to have won at the 2004 and 2005 events, only Eddie Guerrero can match that tonight. Only 6 of the 22 that wrestled at last years No Mercy events are wrestling tonight. Bradshaw one of three men that fought on the very first No Mercy PPV that’ll be fighting tonight. The other two being Christian and The Undertaker. Rey hits some big lefts and rights in the early going, using his speed.

There’s a video package next for Batista and Eddie Guerrero.

Batista (c) vs. Eddie Guerrero – World Heavyweight Championship match

This, like every match tonight, is a first PPV encounter. Eddie has a 1-1 record at No Mercy PPV’s whilst Batista makes his No Mercy debut tonight. This is Batista’s 5th PPV defence of his title, more PPV defences than any current title reign in the WWE. Eddie looks to match JBL as the only men to have won at both the 2004 and 2005 No Mercy events. Batista is huge compared to Guerrero. Eddie takes down Batista early with a double leg but Batista fights him off. Eddie hits a firemans carry and barely gets a one count on the pinfall attempt.

Some nice psychology form Guerrero though. The two men shake hands after the match.

Rating: 5.75/10

And that was No Mercy 2005. This felt like a pretty average pay per view, nothing spectacular. I would have no reason to go back and watch this show again. The match that opened the show was bang average. I would much rather have seen a tag team title match between the two teams as it would have added a lot of excitement. With no women’s championship on Smackdown the women don’t have a lot to fight for so attaching them to the male superstar seems the way to go. MNM should have won this match to earn themselves a shot at the tag team titles. Not really sure of the logic behind Animal, Heidenreich and Christy winning. Bobby Lashley then beat Simon Dean in a poor match. It was an extended squash really with Lashley getting the obvious win. Lashley and Dean were then the thread running throughout the show with Lashley feeding Dean burgers. Bobby’s promo skills aren’t the best so I hope he learns a few things from Simon Dean in that department.

Chris Benoit retained his United States Championship in the fatal four way match. I don’t mind this at all, Benoit does a lot for the belt. The real story here is Booker T and Sharmells relationship and what I think will result in a Booker T heel turn. I am slightly surprised it was Christian that tapped out and not Orlando Jordan. Christian doesn’t look like he’s going anywhere on Smackdown at the moment. I wouldn’t mind seeing a 2 to 3 PPV feud between he and Rey Mysterio. Mr Kennedy defeated Hardcore Holly in his PPV debut. I like Kennedy a lot and look forward to seeing more of him. He has great promo skills. Sylvain Grenier then attacked Hardcore Holly after the match which will be Holly’s next feud going forward but with no Smackdown PPV until December I don’t see much of a payoff for this feud. JBL beats Rey Mysterio cleanly which shows who they value more out of these two guys. With a babyface WWE Champion it makes sense to keep the heels hot in order to build them to title matches, even if it does look like Layfield’s run at the top is over for now.

The Ortons defeated The Undertaker in a somewhat surprising result. It keeps this feud alive and I can see a big blow-off at Survivor Series but I’m not sure what stipulation they’ll add. This was a good match and I quite like the dynamic of having Bob Orton in there. Big win for Randy who now holds back to back PPV wins over The Undertaker. Juventud Guerrera defeated Nunzio to win the Cruiserweight Championship in a scrappy match. It wasn’t the most fluid but it’ll have to do. Hopefully this brings more exposure to the Cruiserweight title which has been featured on Velocity for a long time now. There are plenty of good Cruiserweights so hopefully we’ll be seeing more of them. Batista then beat Eddie Guerrero with a spinebuster. This match was ok and I loved the psychology from Guerrero but the ending really sucked. Eddie lost to a spinebuster? Come on. This is actually a really well executed story and you know at some point Guerrero is going to snap. I look forward to seeing how it pans out. Pretty average match to finish off a pretty average show.
