Wrestling Headcanon, Season 8: Puro Honor

4/17/2025

We get our first heavily ROH season here, as Daniel Bryan Danielson, Samoa Joe, CM Punk, Austin Aries, and a slew of future NXT/AEW stars dominate the indie scene. At the same time, Impact’s weekly pay-per-views dip in quality until they are eventually cancelled and replaced by a weekly TV show and monthly pay-per-views. We only have two Impact episodes this season, but they’ll pick back up again in Season 9.

WWE is still mainly The Smackdown Six and Evolution storylines from Raw. We do see some cruiserweight matches, and Shelton Benjamin’s intercontinental run, but it’s mainly Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit, Edge, Rey Mysterio, Chavo Guerrero, John Cena, Brock Lesnar, Batista, Triple H, Randy Orton, Ric Flair, and Shawn Michaels in pretty much every possible combination. There are no major retirements this season, so we just end on one of the greatest Wrestlemania matches of all-time featuring two of the aforementioned stars of the season.

And while Triple H is in the midst of his Reign Of Terror in the WWE, Samoa Joe absolutely dominates Ring Of Honor, which continues to have effectively minimal storytelling and fantastic matches featuring the future of WWE & AEW.

And while he doesn't have any matches this season (but don't worry, he'll be dropping by again next season), it's really fun to see Ricky Steamboat pop back up as an ethical referee in Ring Of Honor.

Season 8:
Puro Honor

Sorbet Episode: Kaiju Big Battel

There’s a ton of lore attached to Kaiju Big Battel. It was very much an indie promotion in the early 21st century. It was based out of Boston where I live, so I got to see two of their events live. They were madness. It’s a bunch of people in monster outfits wrestling, usually in steel cages. Not every match descends into a chaos of run-ins from outside characters but A LOT of them do. I tried to work in as many characters as possible from several events around the turn of the millennium.

1. Super Akuma vs Hell Monkey in a Steel Cage
2. Silver Potato vs Uchu Chu in a Steel Cage
3. Multimoog vs Slo Feng
4. Hell Monkey & Gomi-Man vs Los Plantanos in a Steel Cage
5. Unibouzo vs Kung-Fu Chicken Noodel in a Steel Cage
6. Dusto Bunny vs Gomi-Man in a Steel Cage
7. Dr Cube (Kaiju Big Battel Champ) vs Unibouzo in a Steel Cage
8. Hero Intern vs Vegitius
9. Dr Cube vs Kung-Fu Chicken Noodel
10. DW Cycloptopuss vs Hero Intern in a Steel Cage
11. Yarsminko & Dai Hachi Hachi vs Neo Teppen & American Beetle in a Steel Cage
12. Dino King vs Super Wrong in a Steel Cage
13. Sun Buster vs Steam Powered Tentacle Boulder

MAIN EVENT: CALL-ME-KEVIN (KAIJU BIG BATTEL CHAMP) vs DUSTO BUNNY in a STEEL CAGE.

Season 8, Episode 1: Raw Leftovers (2003, 2004)

Bill Goldberg, the unbeatable, unstoppable WCW machine had a terrible first run in the WWE. Vince "It's Important We Bury Everyone Who Ever Worked For Anyone Other Than Me" McMahon couldn't let Goldberg ride the fan momentum to the top, so he lost a bunch of matches that the audience really wanted him to win. It was a huge bummer. His match against Shawn Michaels, though, was a nostalgic popfest.

And while there's a ton of nostalgia for the DX-era in this episode, we also get to see Christian and RvD's stocks continue to rise, and even get a fun Survivor Series match between the two of the most famous wrestlers to come out of OVW.

1. Team Lesnar vs Team Angle at Survivor Series 2003
Brock Lesnar, Albert (as A-Train), Big Show, Matt Morgan & Nathan Jones vs Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit, Hardcore Holly, JBL (as Bradshaw) & Jon Cena

2. Goldberg (WCW Heavyweight Champ) vs Shawn Michaels from Raw.

5. Christian (WWE Intercontinental Champ) vs RVD in a Ladder Match from Raw.

4. Brock Lesnar (WWE Champ) vs Chris Benoit from Smackdown.

5. World’s Greatest Tag Team vs Los Guerreros from Smackdown.

6. RvD (WWE Intercontinental Champ) vs Randy Orton at Armageddon 2003.

MAIN EVENT: TRIPLE H (WCW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP) vs SHAWN MICHAELS from RAW.

Season 8, Episode 2: Pure Honor (2003, 2004)

ROH, still absolutely filled-to-the-brim with future Hall of Famers, was in the midst of The Year Of Samoa Joe. Once he had the title, it seemed like it was going to be his forever. This meant that they needed their version of The Intercontinental or TV Title. Thus was the Puro Championship born. And who better to have the first battle for it than AJ Styles and CM Punk?

This is a killer 2004/5 ROH card but if you take out AJ Styles, it's also a killer 2022 AEW card.

1. Steve Corino vs Homicide in a Barbed Wire Match at War Of The Wire.

2. John Walters vs Xavier in a Fight Without Honor at Final Battle 2003.

3. The Briscoes (ROH Tag Champs) vs Samoa Joe and Daniel Bryan Danielson at The Battle Lines Are Drawn.

4. Samoa Joe (ROH Champ) vs Lo-Ki vs BJ Whitmer vs Dan Maff at ROH Second Anniversary Show.

5. CM Punk vs AJ Styles for the inaugural ROH Puro Championship at Second Anniversary Show.

MAIN EVENT: SAMOA JOE (ROH CHAMP) vs JAY BRISCOE (ROH TAG CHAMP) in a STEEL CAGE MATCH at AT OUR BEST.

Season 8, Episode 3: Viva La Raza (2004)

The Legend Killer's feud with Mick Foley was probably the apex of Orton's gimmick. We get the setup for it here as Orton taunts Foley, Foley has a concerning response in their Raw match, and then they duke it out in a very fun Rumble.

Eddie Guerrero finally making it into the championship title scene is also a heartwarming moment.

1. Triple H (WCW Heavyweight Champ) vs Shawn Michaels in a Last Man Standing Match at Royal Rumble 2004.

2. Randy Orton (WWE Intercontinental Champ) vs Mick Foley (as Cactus Jack) from Raw.

3. Rey Mysterio (WCW Cruiserweight Champ) vs Chavo Guerrero at No Way Out 2004.

4. Brock Lesnar (WWE Champ) vs Eddie Guerrero at No Way Out 2004.

MAIN EVENT: ROYAL RUMBLE MATCH 2004.
Albert (as A-Train), Big Show, Billy Gunn, Booker T, Charlie Haas, Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho, Christian, Ernest Miler, Goldberg, The Hurricane, JBL (as Bradshaw), John Cena, Kane, Kurt Angle, Mark Henry, Matt Hardy, Matt Morgan, Mick Foley, Nunzio, Randy Orton, Rene Dupris, Rhyno, Rico, Rikishi, RvD, Scott Steiner, Shelton Benjamin, Spike Dudley, Tajiri

Season 8, Episode 4: Into The Abyss (2003, 2004)

Impact's answer to Mankind or Kane debuts in this episode, and he's a silent delight. Juventud Guerrera stops in for a cup of coffee, as does Teddy Hart and Terry Funk (not in the same match). Seeing Funk and Punk in the same ring is fantastic.

1. Juventud Guerrera vs Teddy Hart at TNA #61.

2. Chris Sabin vs Frank Kazarian at TNA #61

3. Raven vs Shane Douglas in a Hair vs Hair Match at TNA #63.

4. Chris Sabin vs Juventud Guerrera for the Impact X Championship.

5. AJ Styles vs Abyss at TNA #72.

6. Michael Shane (Impact X Champ) vs Chris Sabin vs Christopher Daniels vs Lo-Ki at TNA #79.

7. AJ Styles (NWA Tag Champ) vs Abyss in a Tables Match at TNA #86.

8. The Gathering vs Terry Funk & Raven at TNA #85.

MAIN EVENT: JEFF JARRETT (NWA CHAMP) vs AJ STYLES in a STEEL CAGE MATCH at TNA #94.

Season 8, Episode 5: Night Of The Radicalz (2004)

What was, for a few years, one of the most touching and fun moments in WWE, the era where the two main WWE champions were Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit, are, of course, now remembered mournfully. It was nice to see these two friends who put on some of the best ever WCW matches, and who were immediate main storyline characters in WWE, finally have their moment, together, at the top of the card at the end of a Wrestlemania.

We also get some delightful moments with the semi-retired Mick Foley, and one with Hall of Famer, Molly Holly. Oh, and WWE actually has a women's title match that has a gimmick that doesn't involve Playboy or pillow fights. All this, and Mick Foley puts his sock puppet back on in order to team with the Eyebrowed one? This was truly a fun time for wrestling fans.

1. Triple H vs Chris Benoit from Raw.

2. The Rock & Sock Connection vs Evolution at Wrestlemania 20.

3. Tara (as Victoria)(WWE Womens Champ) vs Molly Holly in a Hair vs Hair Match at Wrestlemania 20.

4. Eddie Guerrero (WWE Champ) vs Kurt Angle at Wrestlemania 20.

5. Randy Orton vs Mick Foley (as Cactus Jack) in a Hardcore Match at Backlash 2004.

MAIN EVENT: TRIPLE H (WCW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP) vs CHRIS BENOIT vs SHAWN MICHAELS at WRESTLEMANIA 20.

Season 8, Episode 6: ROH Reborn (2004)

It's not Reborn in my book, it's just the continued butt-kicking legend era of ROH.

1. AJ Styles (ROH Puro Champ) vs CM Punk at At Our Best.

2. Daniel Bryan Danielson vs Homicide at ROH Reborn.

3. The Briscoes (ROH Tag Champs) vs The Havana Pitbulls at ROH Reborn.

4. Brian Kendrick (as Spanky) vs Homicide

5. Daniel Bryan Danielson vs CM Punk at ROH Reborn.

MAIN EVENT: THE BRISCOES (ROH TAG CHAMPS) vs SECOND CITY SAINTS at ROH REBORN.

Season 8, Episode 7: Running The Gamut* (2004)

I love a good Gamuntlet episode of Raw. Whoever the Authority Figure is at the time decides to determine a title or a top contender by throwing a bunch of wrestlers into a series of matches where whoever wins the final match wins the prize. This one, featuring Shelton Benjamin and Rey Mysterio is non-stop excellence. And, for the first time in our chronology, Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit are the top two champions in the company, defending their titles in a pair of scorchers.

1. Evolution (WWE Tag Champs) vs Chris Benoit (WCW Heavyweight Champ) & Shawn Michaels from Raw.

2. Shelton Benjamin vs Charlie Haas from Smackdown.

3. Shelton Benjamin vs Billy Gunn from Smackdown.

4. Shelton Benjamin vs Rey Mysterio from Smackdown.

5. Rey Mysterio vs The Big Show from Smackdown.

6. Eddie Guerrero (WWE Champ) vs Rey Mysterio from Smackdown.

7. Chris Benoit (WCW Heavyweight Champ) vs Shawn Michaels vs Triple H at Backlash 2004.

MAIN EVENT: EDDIE GUERRERO (WWE CHAMP) vs JBL at NO MERCY 2004.

*- "Running The Gauntlet" is an incorrect term. A gauntlet is a glove. One does not "run a gauntlet", they "throw down a gauntlet" in order to challenge someone. One "runs a gamut" meaning that they complete a full challenge.

Season 8, Episode 8: Generation Next (2004)

Seeing CM Punk share a ring with Terry Funk a few episodes ago was exhilarating. And now he's sharing a ring and a decently long storyline with Ricky The Dragon Steamboat? *chef's kiss*

While they don't actually wrestle at any point, their frienemyship was one of the rare interesting storylines in the early days of ROH.

1. The Briscoes, Jimmy Rave & John Walters vs Generation Next at Generation Next.

2. CM Punk vs Ricky Steamboat at Generation Next.

3. Samoa Joe (ROH Champ) vs Homicide at Generation Next.

4. Matt Stryker, Jimmy Rave & John Walters vs Generation Next at ROH World Title Classic.

MAIN EVENT: SAMOA JOE (ROH CHAMP) vs CM PUNK at WORLD TITLE CLASSIC.

Season 8, Episode 9: Back To The Bash (2004)

Intergender feuds were practically non-existent after Chyna left the WWE, so it was shocking to see Jacqueline answer Chavo Guerrero's open Cruiserweight challenge. Everything else on the card is pretty expected, the Guerrero/JBL feud continues, and Cena and Benoit each get a Brother Of Destruction to wrestle.

1. Chavo Guerrero (WCW Cruiserweight Champ) vs Jacqueline from Smackdown.

2. John Cena (WWE US Champ) vs The Undertaker from Smackdown.

3. Chris Benoit (WCW Heavyweight Champ) vs Kane at Bad Blood 2004.

4. Jacqueline (WCW Cruiserweight Champ) vs Chavo Guerrero with one hand tied behind his back at Judgment Day 2004.

5. Eddie Guerrero (WWE Champ) vs JBL in a Texas Bullrope Match at The Great American Bash 2004.

6. Chavo Guerrero (WCW Cruiserweight Champ) vs Rey Mysterio at The Great American Bash 2004.

MAIN EVENT: JBL (WWE CHAMP) vs EDDIE GUERRERO in a STEEL CAGE MATCH from SMACKDOWN.

Season 8, Episode 10: Survival Of The Fittest (2004)

Because there still aren't really stories attached to the Ring of Honor feuds, apart from "I'm mad at this person because I want to wrestle them," it's hard to keep writing descriptions for their episodes where it's just a solid bunch of wrestling from the most talented people in the industry at the time, many of whom are still the most talented people in the industry twenty years later. That's pretty much all there is to say about this episode, though.

1. The Briscoes vs Generation Next vs The Prophecy vs Second City Saints in an Ultimate Endurance Match at ROH World Title Classic.

2. Samoa Joe (ROH Champ) vs Austin Aries vs Colt Cabana vs Daniel Bryan Danielson vs Homicide vs Marc Briscoe at Survival Of The Fittest.

3. Alex Shelly (ROH Puro Champ) vs Doug Williams at Death Before Dishonor 2004.

MAIN EVENT: THE PROPHECY vs SECOND CITY SAINTS in a CHICAGO STREET FIGHT at DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR 2004.

Season 8, Episode 11: The Rabid Wolverine (2004)

It's emotionally challenging to separate the feeling of being so incredibly happy for the seemingly nice guy/hard worker Chris Benoit who spent a decade in the business being underestimated and somewhat restricted before finally achieving a world title, and feeling guilty for celebrating the success of someone who went on to murder his family and himself. It doesn't get easier with time.

Were this a chronology based on personal merit, there'd be no Benoit matches, no Hogan matches, no Ultimate Warrior, no Shawn Michael before he gave up cocaine for Lent, and absolutely no Vince McMahon as commentator, authority figure, or wrestler. Unfortunately, all of the above names were involved in some of the most important storylines or best technical matches of their time, so I've included them.

This was Benoit at the height of his career, where he was, quite simply, one of the best wrestlers in the industry, finally being given his moment at the top.

1. Randy Orton (WWE Intercontinental Champ) vs Edge at Vengeance 2004.

2. Chris Benoit (WCW Heavyweight Champ) vs Triple H at Vengeance 2004.

3. Eddie Guerrero vs Kurt Angle at SummerSlam 2004.

4. Evolution vs Chris Benoit (WCW Heavyweight Champ), Edge (WWE Intercontinental Champ) & Chris Jericho from Raw.

5. Molly Holly vs Tara (as Victoria) at Vengeance 2004.

6. Billy Kidman vs Paul London from Smackdown.

MAIN EVENT: CHRIS BENOIT (WCW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP) vs RANDY ORTON at SUMMERSLAM 2004

Season 8, Episode 12: Bringing Back The Thunder (2004)

It's been a while since we've seen Jushin Thunder Liger. Here he gets slotted in with three of ROH's all-time most famous wrestlers for a hell of a tag team match.

1. The Prophecy vs The Second City Saints in a Street Fight at Death Before Dishonor 2.

2. Samoa Joe (ROH Champ) vs Daniel Bryan Danielson at Midnight Express Reunion.

3. Generation Next vs Second City Saints in a NO DQ Match at Weekend Of Thunder.

MAIN EVENT: SAMOA JOE (ROH CHAMP) & JUSHIN THUNDER LIGER vs DANIEL BRYAN DANIELSON & LO KI.

Season 8, Episode 13: Stratisfaction (2004)

WWE has come a long way with women's wrestling since the early seasons of this chronology. But they still have a long way to go before Stephanie McMahon single-handedly revolutionized women's wrestling *hacking sarcastic cough* to the level it is in 2025. This episode includes the first time a women's match headlined Raw. (Only fifteen more years before women headlined Wrestlemania!) The leadup was no better or worse than most mid-card feuds at the time but it's not necessary to watch. The match itself was brief but fun to watch.

Apart from Trish vs Lita, the only unusual name for this episode is Spike Dudley, who had a resurgence as the Cruiserweight champ.

1. Chris Jericho vs Christian in a Ladder Match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship at Unforgiven 2004.

2. Randy Orton (WWE Champ) vs Chris Benoit from Raw.

3. Kurt Angle vs Eddie Guerrero from Smackdown.

4. Randy Orton, Chris Benoit & Shelton Benjamin vs Evolution from Raw.

5. Spike Dudley (WCW Cruiserweight Champ) vs Billy Kidman vs Chavo Guerrero vs Rey Mysterio at Survivor Series 2004.

6. Chris Jericho (WWE Intercontinental Champ) vs Shelton Benjamin at Taboo Tuesday 2004.

7. Randy Orton vs Ric Flair in a Steel Cage from Raw.

MAIN EVENT: Trish Stratus (WWE Womens Champ) vs Lita from Raw.

Season 8, Episode 14: Beat The Clock (2004, 2005)

The first (and maybe only) Beat The Clock tournament in the chronology. Eric Bischoff prepares for The Elimination chamber by having each competitor wrestle on an episode of Smackdown. Whoever gets the fastest win gets to be the final entrant. If you lose, your opponent replaces you in the chamber.

I’m a little sad that the first appearance of future Hall-Of-Famer Christy Hemme debuts here as a timekeeper who keeps changing her outfit but that’s just the way things were in 2004.

1. Chris Jericho vs Christian in a Beat The Clock Challenge from Raw.

2. Randy Orton vs Maven in a Beat The Clock Challenge from Raw.

3. Edge vs Eugene in a Beat The Clock Challenge from Raw.

4. Shelton Benjamin (WWE Intercontinental Champ) vs Christian at Survivor Series 2004.

5. Chris Benoit vs Viscera in a Beat The Clock Challenge from Raw.

6. Batista vs Rhyno in a Beat The Clock Challenge from Raw.

7. Shelton Benjamin (WWE Intercontinental Champ) vs Triple H in a Non-Title Beat The Clock Challenge from Raw.

8. JBL (WCW Heavyweight Champ) vs Booker T vs Eddie Guerrero vs Undertaker at Armageddon 2004.

MAIN EVENT: ELIMINATION CHAMBER MATCH: BATISTA vs CHRIS BENOIT vs CHRIS JERICHO vs EDGE vs RANDY ORTON vs TRIPLE H at NEW YEAR’S REVOLUTION 2005.

Season 8, Episode 15: Leather Anniversary (2004, 2005)

The third Anniversary party for ROH features all the heavy hitters and future Hall-of-Famers who dominate this era of ROH. This also begins a seemingly unending series of matches between Homicide and Daniel Bryan Danielson.

1. Samoa Joe (ROH Champ) vs CM Punk at All Star Extravaganza 2.

2. Homicide vs Daniel Bryan Danielson in a Tap Out Match at It All Begins 2005.

3. CM Punk vs Brian Kendrick (as Spanky) at Third Anniversary.

4. Samoa Joe (ROH Champ) vs Austin Aries at Final Battle 2004.

6. Alex Shelly vs Jack Evans at Third Anniversary.

7. Daniel Bryan Danielson vs Homicide in a Falls Count Anywhere Match at Third Anniversary.

MAIN EVENT: AUSTIN ARIES (ROH CHAMP) vs SAMOA JOE at THIRD ANNIVERSARY.

Season 8, Episode 16: Quads Out For Vinnie (2004, 2005)

Hate him or tolerate him, this is one of my favorite Vince McMahon moments in wrestling. After a botch at the end of The Royal Rumble, Ol' Stompy Legs tantrums his way down the ring, jumps in and blows out one of his quads, and then has to sit on the mat barking instructions until he decides to leave the ring under his own power, blowing out his other quad. Narcissistic moron.

1. Chris Benoit vs Edge in a Steel Cage Match at Raw.

2. Rey Mysterio & RvD (WWE Smackdown Tag Champs) vs Booker T & Eddie Guerrero from Smackdown.

3. Evolution vs Chris Benoit & Chris Jericho from Raw.

4. Rey Mysterio vs Eddie Guerrero from Smackdown.

MAIN EVENT: ROYAL RUMBLE 2005.
Batista, Booker T, Charlie Haas, Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho, Christian, Daniel Puder, Eddie Guerrero, Edge, Gene Snitsky, Hardcore Holly, John Cena, Jonathan Coachman, Kane, Kenzo Suzuki, Kurt Angle, Luther Reigns, Mark Jindrak, Muhammad Hassan, Orlando Jordan, Paul London, Rene Dupree, Rey Mysterio, Ric Flair, Scotty 2 Hotty, Shawn Michaels, Shelton Benjamin, Simon Dean, The Hurricane, Viscera

Season 8, Episode 17: Turning Point (2004)

We've finally reached the end of Impact's weekly PPV experiment. The more spread out PPVs meant, generally, better quality PPVs. This is a smorgasbord of fun matches including our first Monster's Ball match, our first Jeff Hardy in Impact match, an R Truth title defense, an appearance by DDP, and perhaps the best-ever Impact cage spot that didn't involve Kurt Angle.

1. Team Canada vs Team NWA TNA #96

2. R Truth (NWA Champ) vs AJ Styles vs Chris Harris vs Jeff Jarrett vs Raven in a King Of The Mountain Match TNA #100.

3. The Naturals (NWA Tag Champs) vs America’s Most Wanted in a Steel Cage at TNA #107.

4. Jeff Jarrett (NWA Champ) vs Jeff Hardy at TNA #114.

5.Abyss vs Monty Brown vs Raven in a Monster’s Ball Match at Victory Road 2004.

6. Petey Williams (Impact X Champ) vs AJ Styles at Victory Road 2004.

7. DDP vs Raven at Turning Point 2004.

8. Petey Williams (Impact X Champ) vs Chris Sabin at Turning Point 2004.

IMPACT SEASON FINALE MAIN EVENT: AMERICA’S MOST WANTED vs TRIPLE X in a STEEL CAGE MATCH at TURNING POINT 2004.

Season 8, Episode 18: Thumb War (2005)

The downfall of Evolution was all about Thumbs. Thumbs up for a good match. Randy Orton got a thumbs down after winning the WWE title, and then they booted him from the group. This time, Triple H and Ric Flair try to bamboozle Batista and he gives them the thumbs down during a contract signing and goes on to battle Triple H for the title. Unfortunately, apart from a Hell In A Cell match that we'll get to later, they're matches against each other were long and boring, so we'll be skipping them.

Instead, the Smackdown Six + Cena continue to run rampant, putting on the best matches in the WWE. But we do get a Raw-centric banger as the main event as Shawn Michaels helps elevate Edge to the A-level of the company.

1. Randy Orton vs Christian from Raw.

2. Booker T vs Eddie Guerrero from Smackdown.

3. Kurt Angle vs Rey Mysterio from Smackdown.

4. John Cena vs Kurt Angle at No Way Out 2005.

5. JBL (WWE Champ) vs The Big Show in a Barbed Wire Steel Cage Match at No Way Out 2005.

MAIN EVENT: SHAWN MICHAELS vs EDGE from Raw.

Season 8, Episode 19: Night Of The Jr Heavyweights (2005)

Many of the bouts in this episode are from ROH's "Night Of The Jr Heavyweights" but none of these matches feature anything junior. It's the usual: Daniel Bryan Danielson, Samoa Joe, Brian Kendrick, Nigel McGuinness, James Gibson, Jay Lethal, Austin Aries, Homicide, Roderick Strong, and CM Punk just beating the ja-beatles out of each other.

1. Daniel Bryan Danielson, Samoa Joe & Vordell Walker vs Brian Kendrick (as Spanky), Nigel McGuinness & James Gibson at Trios Tournament 2005.

2. Daniel Bryan Danielson vs Brian Kendrick (as Spanky) at Jr Heavyweights.

3. Jay Lethal & Samoa Joe vs CM Punk & Brian Kendrick (as Spanky) at Back To Basics 2005.

4. Roderick Strong vs James Gibson at Jr Heavyweights.

ROH SEASON FINALE MAIN EVENT: AUSTIN ARIES (ROH CHAMP) vs HOMICIDE at JR HEAVYWEIGHTS.

Season 8, Episode 20: Sexy Boys Go Hollywood (2005)

We end the season not with a bang but with a banger. Sure, Steve Austin made Kurt Angle wear silly hats and sing wimpy Christian songs on a ukulele but Kurt's funniest performances came during his feud with Shawn Michaels. Sexy Kurt is his finest work. Plus, the feud gave us a chance to see Marty Jannetty and Sensational Sherri again.

1. Kurt Angle vs Marty Jannetty from Smackdown.

2. Rey Mysterio vs Eddie Guerrero at Wrestlemania 21.

3. JBL vs Scotty 2 Hotty from Smackdown.

4. Money In The Bank Ladder Match at Wrestlemania 21.
Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho, Christian, Edge, Kane, Shelton Benjamin

5. Undertaker vs Randy Orton at Wrestlemania 21.

SEASON FINALE MAIN EVENT: SHAWN MICHAELS vs KURT ANGLE at WRESTLEMANIA 21.
