Just watched this. It's better than I thought, and will probably be the only Benjamin match outside of the first MITB than makes my list. Some of the counters are great, Benjamin is at his athletic best and its basically just hella fun to watch. Finish is pretty great too.
Won't be high on the list but it definitely deserves a place in the top 100.

Just rewatched Michaels vs Masters, and it holds up really damn well. I think I prefer Michaels vs younger guys way more than I do against other main eventers. I still say Masters is/was awesome and he brought his A game in the match. So much personality, looked great working over HBK's back and busted out some big power moves. Also really liked the use of the use of the Masterlock too. I'll probably rate higher than most.

Not seen Michaels vs Masters but I'm guessing I wouldn't like it that much simply because Masters bores me to tears.
John Cena vs Kurt Angle - No Way Out 2005
Really liked this match. Loved the idea of a complete clash of styles, demonstrated by Angle controlling Cena in the opening minutes with wrestling holds, only for Cena to come back by turning it into a brawl with an offensive flurry. Good stuff with Cena basically using his power and brawling and Angle trying to outwrestle him. Some fun spots such as the german into the turnbuckle and Cena's legdrop from the top. Also liked Angle trying to weaken Cena's ankle for the ankelock towards the end, including repeatedly hitting it against the ring post. Cena gutting out the anklelock was good. Any more time in the hold would have been a bit ridiculous but I think this worked. Finish was decent with the ref bump and the missed chain spot, followed by the FU. I have to say I thought the FU was shit when he just dropped them off his shoulders without going to ground though.

I like Cena an awful lot in that match. His offence was really good and his selling of the neck bump and legwork was pretty specatcular. Angle randomly switching from working the neck to working the leg kinda annoyed me though, recall him doing that in the Lesnar match too.

John Cena vs Chris Jericho vs Christian - Vengeance 2005
This was good, but nothing special. It was just a typical WWE style triple threat I'd say, with some fun spots involving all 3 guys but a lot of the match restricted to one on one action with somebody down on the outside. Some very good spots though such as the FU to the outside on Christian, which was pretty insane as he seemed to take it flat on his back. The double Five Knuckle Shuffle was pretty lolworthy. Liked the Cena/Christian interaction in this though, and the finish was pretty good with Cena using Christian as a weapon to knock down Jericho before hitting his FU.
Good, but only good.
***1/4

When I try to follow the links at the top of this post ("2005 match links") it says I don't have permission, yet I am a registered user (albeit a newbie). Am I doing something wrong? What "permission" do I need? Thanks.
Just Watched The Angle vs Eddie From Smackdown in 05 What a Great Match That Was They Started Of With Great Mat Wrestling And Were Eddie Shows That Hes One Of The Few That Can Mat Wrestle With Angle, Eddie Did Alot Of Impressive Counters To The Angle Slam, There Was Good Psychology With Angle Working The Back Of Eddie And This Was The Match Were They Started To Built The Eddie vs Rey Feud Just Great Stuff All Around In My Opinion There Best Match Together
Match Rating- ****1\4, Defenitivelly Top 100
Just Rewatched My Pick For The Best Match Of 2005 Still Maintain This Pick What Great Match It Was Everything About That Match Was Great, The Wrestling, The Story, The Psychology With Kurt Working HBK's Neck And Kurt Pays Tribute To Orton With The Ortonlock The Finish Was Also Great.
Match Rating- ****3\4, Definitivelly Top 15
Rewatched Both Orton vs Taker At WM 21 And The Hell in a Cell Match
The WM 21 Match- I Was Very Impressed By How Orton Performed Even Though He Was Injured He And Taker Busted Their Asses To Have A Great Match Alot Of Counters In This Match The 2 That I Liked The Most Were The Dragon Slepper Into The DDT And The Chokeslam To The RKO What an Awesome Counter That Was And This Match End Taker's Streak Of Bad Matches At WM Match Rating- ***3\4, Maybe Top 100
The Hell in a Cell Match- With Match I Noticed Similaritys With The HBK vs Taker Hell in a Cell Match The Formula Being The Dominant Face vs The Cowardly Heel even Thought It Didnt Come Of As Well Because Orton Is No HBK And This Wasnt Taker's Night But This Still Was a Great Match With Alot Of Use Of The Cage Which I Like It Put Over The Match As a Brutal Match I Also Liked The Frequent Ref Bumps, Orton Did A Splash Of The Top Rope That Almost Broke His Wrists I Only Have Problem With Who Won The Match As I Felt That Orton Should Have Won Match Rating- ****1\4, Definitivelly Top 100
