no way out was awesome

triple h · 20-02-2006 09:42PM #1

i am not a big smack down fan ( i am more of a raw fan) and when it came to watching pay per views i never looked foward to S D PPV's. but last night's no way out was fantastic. it was the best PPV for some time. i really enjoyed it.

yak_kadafi · 20-02-2006 09:53PM

although i dont think it was fantastic it was a good WWE ppv......
it was good to see Fit finley have a match and great to see batista back....
the matches were so so........some good ones and other as usual **** ones.......
all in all it was a decent ppv

J.R.HARTLEY · 20-02-2006 09:58PM

i enjoyed it ,
**spoiler***

except i'm left stumped as to whats next with rey vs orton, the way they left it rey surely will get a rematch for his shot

dohboy · 20-02-2006 10:29PM

i was watching it live last night and surfing surfing online the same time. i went onto to wikipedia, and all the results were up there already! is this commonplace on wikipedia? couldn't tell you how long they had been up there for, but all the wrestlers biogs had been updated to include what happened in No Way Out.

Mr.Nice Guy · 20-02-2006 10:33PM

I liked No Way Out alot. I was engrossed in all the matches but particularly the last two.

I hope Rey still finds a way to get his WM shot. I remember in 2002, Angle won Triple H's main event shot at No Way Out but Triple H won it back on Smackdown I think. Hopefully they will do something similar this year or else make it a triple threat for the belt.

Angle and Taker's match had me gripped and for a minute I thought Taker would tap. The ending seemed a bit silly to me but it was a good contest.

Overall I would say it's the best Smackdown PPV since No Way out in 2004 when Eddie beat Brock.

the sunbabe wan · 20-02-2006 10:44PM

WHAT THE FAWK :mad: :mad: ok i have no way out taped... and i'm ready to watch, but curiousity got the better of me:o seriously... what was the fawking point in letting rey win the royal rumble???? surely there has to some action done..... surely the wwe have been listening to the fans and the support that they have been giving them.... come on like.

anyway, what on earth... batista back from injury soo soon???? :eek: alright if he's a 100% then that it's bloody awesome

Terry · 20-02-2006 10:55PM

i can't believe they are still milking that eddie thing. it's disgusting and even worse that his family are going along with it.
other than that it was fairly enjoyable. i thought finlay put in the best performance of the night (with his first appearance) and the angle/taker match was one for the ages (except for the finish).

the sunbabe wan · 20-02-2006 10:58PM

CAN SOME one explain to me how batista can come back from a torn tricep tendon so quickly or is some thing i should watch to have a better understanding of what he's talking about..

the sunbabe wan · 21-02-2006 12:13AM

i watched the match between rey and orton, great match, lousy ending..... poor rey:(

moongoose · 21-02-2006 12:14AM

batista was only making an appearance ala RVD at one night stand last summer. it's to keep him in peoples minds so when he comes back people will hope back on board with him as opposed to having him return cold or having to do some big build up with no main ppv to aid it ala HHH at rumble a few years back.

i reckon he might get it back on saturday nights main event.

you really thought it was good?
all i saw was orton pick up rey, rey wriggle out, orton knock rey to the ground, repeated over and over.

littleninja · 21-02-2006 01:40PM

The Mysterio/Orton matchup was a bit disappointing, but the Undertaker/Angle match was really good.. obviously apart from the ending, that was silly tbh.

gimmick · 21-02-2006 05:45PM

Well, just watched it. Good PPV.

random thoughts

I wish the cruiserweights would be given some proper time. Foe the first time in a while they have a good number of faces and heels, 2 tag teams, and a very good champion. I hope at Mania we see a 1 on 1 for the title, but it will probably be another piece of crap like they have been putting together for God knows how long. That said, I enjoyed this CW match, but this format of match is far to scatty to have any lasting effects.

I also liked JBL vs Lashley, though the ending was a bit ****. I really cant see what either of these guys are going to be doing by Wrestlemania.

Tag match was ok. I would prefer if they kept the rematch to Mania, but will probably happen at SME or a regular SD, leaving all these people without a Wrestlemania match.

Batistas return had me excited. I was seeing a Batista Vs Orton Mania match, after Batista helped Rey defeat Orton. Instead this was a filler.

Benoit Vs Booker T. Why oh why was this not held to Mania? it was a quality match, with a great heel/face psychology to it. If they could have dragged this feud out til Mania, with Booker playing the pussy heel, it would have been sweet. Very good match, was somewhat surprised with Benoits win.

Orton Vs Rey. Good match, poor ending. I hoped Long was going to come in and say he must win fairly etc, and Rey to go on and win from there. I think wwe are going to heel Rey slowly from here.

Angle Vs Taker - I seen them in London last year and the match was 5 star. This was better. As said above, it had everything - spots, chain wrestling, slugging, submission reversals (and how!) and a controversial ending.

Good PPV. Far better than the Rumble and NYR.

Funny actually, i was hoping for the same thing. To be honest maybe a year ago i wanted to see orton in the main event but not now. Not the way he's "earned" it (i mean angle wise, cos i know the guy has talent.)

Im just generally disappointed at the lack of any meaningful feud build ups to mania. In years gone by there were at least month long or even year long build ups (Taker/Kane, Jericho/Hbk, Hbk/Angle etc) but this year nothing (bar Hbk/Mcmahon but i dont know of anyone who wants to see that match.)

Im finding my faith maybe wavering but yet il keep tuning in cos i know there's still gonna be something happen i havent seen before with Taker/Angle being the obvious example.

bingo you've hit the nail on the head for me. and renenber even back in the scsa or rock days they didn't need to write elabortae storylines every week, they have hhh or rock or austin interfer in each others match and brawl out to the back, things that increased the levels of animosity between the two characters

the sunbabe wan · 22-02-2006 07:59PM

we could reminese about the old days all we want folks, but this is the state that the wwe is in at the moment. i'm interested to see how long more does the wwe think we'll put up with it, and finally become like it was back in the late 1990s- probably 2002....

come on like triple h has been at the main event of wrestlemania since 2000 :eek: can we have some other than triple h or is his ego to big to step aside???

Fozzy · 23-02-2006 02:55AM

HHH wasn't in the main event in 2001, when he fought Taker, or 2003 (I think), when he fought Booker

I enjoyed the ppv more than any recent WWE ppv. Really wish they'd get some proper cruiserweight matches on tv.. Booker and Benoit had a very good match, I enjoyed it, but I hope Benoit gets a decent feud going into WM. Regal would be a dream for me

Rey and Randy wasn't brilliant to watch, especially with the outcome hanging over the match. What have we learnt? Dedicating and praying to Eddie gets you nowhere. After the match, Rey came off as a very unsympathetic character in my eyes, as he was not forced to put his title shot on the line, he could have just challenged Randy to a match without anything on the line. And aswell, Randy won in a way that befitted the guy Rey has been dedicating things to left, right and centre. It's put him way back now in my book

Taker and Angle have always had great matches together, and it's been a while! When Taker started going for that triangle hold, I got a bit annoyed.. Anyone remember the match they had on SD where it ended with Angle tapping as Taker was pinned, and they had to redo the finish because they messed it up? I kept thinking they were going to do it again. And the way Cole kept pushing that neither man had ever tapped out, when clearly Angle had tapped out to Taker in that very same hold, was a bit stupid. Still, they pulled the match off well and I really enjoyed it. Except for that ending!

Our point sunbabe, is they delivered a quality product for x amount of years(which included the whole build up) now their product doesn't seem to be of the same standard, it's not so much reminicising as it is being annoyed that the effort isn't being made, i can't understand how the company has gotten so lethargic in actually entertaining people. it's world wrestling entertainment but wrestlemania doesn't look at the moment like it's going to be entertaining. a couple of matches with no motivation orton vs abgle , why? HHH Vs Cena Why?
you know what i mean, it's like at least stone cold vs HHH feud was cause "he knocked him down" or something, as it stands a month and a week from mania the royal rumble winner is out of the mania picture!!???!!

correct, the booker fight was second last, some would argue it was for the WHC so it was a main event but it was really second billing to angle v brock

The match with Booker counts as a main event as it was a Raw main event in the same way that Orton talked about Eddie main eventing WM20 with Angle. Triple H's record:

WM18 - Main event match with Y2J for Undisputed title

WM19 - Main event match with Booker T for World Title

WM20 - Main event match with HBK and Benoit for World Title

WM21 - Main event match with Batista for World Title

WM22 - Main event match with Cena for WWE title

No one since Hogan has done this. To say it's politics would be an understatement!

It was actually the fourth last to be precise. It was followed by Vince Vs Hogan, then Autin Vs the Rock, then Angle Vs Lesnar.

I consider Austin Vs the Rock as the RAW main event for WM 19, as it was the last RAW match on the card.

He wasn't in the main event for WM17 as that year it was Rock vs Austin for the WWE title. That was the last time he fought at WM in a match that wasn't for a belt.

That's truly shocking.

alright bar WM17 he has been in every other WM main event since the start of the new century.... now he is the game and he is a brilliant wrestler, when he's in the mood....

I'm actually currently watching the Undertaker Vs Kurt Angle match on You Tube. Great match, and another thing I am noticing is the fantastic commentary. I always thought Taz was fantastic, but Cole has improved vastly too.

to look at it objectively
WM 18 he was the hottest face around for that time coming off the back of his injury,and duly dropped the title to hogan
wm 19 for semantics sake was not the main event, it was not top billing, it may have been a title fight but it was not the main event, anyway it was boring it was just a way to have a title fight i think.
wm 20 he brought the belt in to drop it to benoit, he was best choice to fight benoit, they put on a great match
wm 21 he brought the belt in to drop it to batista,
i know he's been in all the fights, but thats more due in the last few years to a lack decent stars

no way out was awesome
