Movie Review: WOW, great ending
Summary: 4 Stars
The undercard was horribel. However, Cena vs Angle was great. The endind to the Show/JBL match was the greatest ending since No Way Out in 2002, with Hogan and Rock. I knew Show wouldn't win, but I thought he did, for sec.Movie Review: No Way Out Review
Summary: 3 Stars
No Way Out Opener:
No Way Out opened up with a video package looking at the Barbwire Steel Cage Match between JBL and the Big Show for the WWE Championship. Tonight, there is No Way Out. The fireworks then went off in the arena as Michael Cole and Tazz welcomed us to the show.
1st match: The Basham Brothers (C) vs. Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero for the WWE Tag Team Championship:
The Finish:
The Basham's took control with a double spinebuster for two and then went for a double suplex but Rey broke it and Eddie got a small package for two. Eddie went outside and grabbed a belt and then Rey stopped him. Eddie went for a the frogsplash on Danny, and then tried to fool Danny into thinking he crashed and burned, and then rolled up Danny for two. Danny tossed the belt to Eddie, who then tossed it to Doug and then Eddie got the other belt from Mysterio and knocked down Doug with it. Rey then hit Danny with the 619 and Eddie covered Doug for the win! A decent enough match which pretty much made Smackdown! until October.

Carlito threatened to get Teddy Long fired and Long said he was trying to get Batista.
2nd match: Lauren Jones vs. Michelle McCool vs. Joy Giovanni vs. Rochelle Loewen in the Rookie Diva Contest - First Round Evening Gown Competition:

Tony Chimel said voting is now open on [...] as the Diva's paraded in their Evening Gowns and Round Two is coming up! Nice waste of five minutes. Really, why?

The Finish:
Booker went for the Scissors Kick but Heidenreich moved and Booker then went for the Book End but Heidenreich elbowed out. Heidenreich charged at Booker, but Booker sent him to the outside.

Second round time, as Tony Chimel introduced the Diva's again. Torrie got on the mic and welcomed us to round two. She said each Diva is going to show us their very special talents. Joy said her talent was massage, and she would like to massage Torrie. Joy started to massage Torrie and Dawn looked on in disgust. Torrie thanked Joy, and then Dawn got on the mic and said that she can give a better rub than that. Rochelle was next and told a couple of jokes, and she was horrid. Dawn stole the mic off her and told her she stunk. Lauren was next and did a dance. I am so glad this show was free in the UK. Dawn said Lauren shouldn't quit her day job. Michelle was next and said her talent is a bit more physical. She said that she is tired of Dawn running her mouth, and then gave her a bodyslam! Torrie laughed and Chimel told us to go vote.
No Winner

Undertaker sent Reigns into the exposed turnbuckle and went for snake eyes and then hit a boot to the face and a leg drop for two. Taker hit the Chokeslam on Reigns and then looked to the crowd and called for the Tombstone but Reigns slid off the back and then hit the Roll of the Dice for two! Reigns went to work with mounted punches on the mat and went for it again but the Undertaker reversed into a DDT. The Undertaker then hit the Tombstone and made the cover for the win. Another match I knew the outcome.
Winner via Pinfall: The Undertaker
Rating: 5/10
7th match: Lauren Jones vs. Micheele McCool vs. Joy Giovanni vs. Rochelle Loewen in a Swimsuit Contest:
Torrie made her way down, and Dawn Marie has refused to take part after being slammed by Michelle earlier on. Torrie said they each have 15 seconds to show their swimsuits. Joy was first, followed by Rochelle, then Lauren and finally Michelle. The crowd is pretty dead through all of this by the way. Michelle did a back flip and stuff. Torrie said while the votes are tallied on [...], she is going to poll the audience. Michelle got the biggest pop from the crowd. The [...] votes show Joy as the winner. The biggest waits of time....EVER!!!!
Winner via votes: Joy Giovanni

8th match: John Cena vs. Kurt Angle in the Number One Contenders Tournament Final:
The Finish:
Angle noticed the chain of Cena on the ring post and grabbed it, and wrapped it around his fist but Cena drove Angle into the corner and then hit the FU! Cena made the cover and the referee made the count, and John Cena is going to WrestleMania! This was a good match.
Winner via Pinfall: John Cena
Rating: 7/10
Main Event: John Bradshaw Layfield (c) vs. The Big Show for the WWE Championship in a Barb Wire Steel Cage Match:
The Big Show looked down at JBL's lifeless body and then climbed down. Show went to the door and started kicking at it and then hit pulled off the padlock! Show opened the door and started to climb out and Big Show is out of the cage!!! The Big Show is going to WrestleMania! Tony Chimel then announced the JBL is still WWE Champion, and JBL was shown on the outside! How did JBL get out?

Winner via escape: John Bradshaw Layfield
Rating: 6/10
The Aftermath:

Cena and Batista then stared at each other as the show went off the air.
Match of the Night: Cena vs. Angle
Worst Match of the Night: Booker T vs. Heidenreich
Best Move of the Night: The Chokeslam through the ring!
Overall: Despite all the ripping of this event, I think it is worth a buy. It is better then SummerSlam in my opinion. Get this one!
Movie Review: My Card:
Summary: 3 Stars
My Card for No Way Out:
Akio vs. Shannon Moore:
The action was fast and furious as always with cruiserweights. Akio had just lost a match on Smackdown! to Paul London. Akio had attacked Moore on Sunday Night Heat with a Lead Pipe. Moore reversed Akio's 450 Splash into a Small Package for the win.
Winner: Shannon Moore 4 out of 10
Mark Jindrak vs. Spike Dudley
Mark Jindrak is an up and coming star. The Cruiserweight wasn't much for Jindrak as he put him away early with a Mark of Excellence. After the match Jindrak gets his hand raised in victory but then Heidenreich jumps out and attacks him.
Winner: Mark Jindrak 2 out of 10
Eddie Guerrero & Rey Mysterio vs. ??????? (the winners of the next match)

Hardcore Holly was an angry man going into this match because he was out for a year then he was sidelined for a while. When Haas & Funaki were brawling on the outside, Scotty grabbed a trash can lid and called Hardcore to the ring. Hardcore came then hit the Alabama Slam for the win.
Winners: Charlie Haas & Hardcore Holly 6 out of 10

Movie Review: A Mixed Bag PPV
Summary: 3 Stars
No Way Out has always been a middle of the road PPV (with maybe the possible exception of 2001's edition which ended a few rivalries). The 2005 No Way Out felt like a below average PPV which really just serves as a road block. However, the action was alright, with a few notable matches.
1) Eddie and Rey versus the Bashams- 8/10- It was a good opening match with some good tag team action. The stuff with Rey and Eddie towards the end is pretty good. The Bashams aren't exactly the greatest tag team in the world, but they did what was necessary to have a decent match. Watch for some typical Eddie stuff in the match.
2)The Divas segments-2/10 (2 for eye candy)- I kept thinking to myself how much better the matches would have been if the time for these rediculous segments would have gone into WRESTLING! If you want to see this stuff, please buy the latest SI swimsuit video or something. The support for this crap is rediculous. If these chicks could wrestle, then this might be an acceptible thing. But they can't.....therefore it's not!
3)Heidenreich vs. Booker T- 4/10- I feel sorry for Booker. 2 months before this, he was in the WWE title hunt on 2 consecutive PPVs. This match just shows to me how Booker and RVD are being underutilized on TV. Please Vince (I'm sorry....Triple H), push these guys. Heidenreich's gimmick is stupid enough to pair him with Eugene. Actually, that might not be such a bad idea.
4) The 6-Man Elimination Cruiserweight Title Match- 8/10- Excellent match.....this coming from a guy who hates the cruiserweights. This was actually a good contest. The pace was quick, the moves were pretty cool, and the match served a purpose for storyline sakes. My only complaint is that......well, I won't spoil it. But if you watched Smackdown right after this aired, you already know what I mean.
5) Undertaker vs. Luther Reigns- 6/10- I usually love any match the Deadman is in. His match with Heidenreich the previous month was great. But this one really was bad. Not as bad as Heidenreich/Booker T but just bad. Even Taker couldn't carry Luther Reigns in the ring and Taker's carried a lot of dead weight (no pun intended) in his past matches.
6) Kurt Angle vs. John Cena- 8/10- Good Match. I think these two have had better matches between each other (No Mercy 2003 comes to mind). But Kurt Angle is great as usual. Cena was pretty good as well. I thought the ending was pretty weak, and a stronger one could have made Cena look better in the eyes of the fans. This ending just makes Cena a winner by lucky circumstance.
7) JBL vs. Big Show- 8/10- Why such a high rating? One, I actually thought the match wasn't that half bad. Two, JBL took some shots in that cage. Three, the spot that occurred during the match. And fourth, because The Big Show and JBL both couldn't "lose" this match. The Big Show is the biggest athlete ever in WWE and the most agile at his size. Andre couldn't even move faster than a turtle, let alone fly off ropes. JBL was the champ who had a face waiting for him at WM 21. The ending was a copout in order to secure both men's statures: JBL as the winner by lucky circumstance (I'm using that a lot if you notice) and The Big Show as the dominant man who in all that's right should have won. The ending with Batista and Cena joining the frey was great, but it really didn't add anything to Batista as he went on to face/destroy HHH at Mania.
No Way Out was an ok show. There were some good matches, but there were also 2 bad ones and a stupid divas segment that should have been replaced by a match. If you look at the final total, I gave it a 44/70 which comes out to a rough 63%. I can't say this is a great PPV or anything like that, but I think it's worth a look. I'd just skip the 3 things I just got done describing.
Movie Review: The Way Out Of NO WAY OUT
Summary: 3 Stars
Renee Dupree & Kenzo Suzuki vs Charlie Haas & Hardcore Holly 7/10- this was on Heat. it was much better than i first thought it would be. Holly is improving & is getting the fans behind him. Haas & Holly make a good tag team. this one should have been on the ppv instead of the divas.
WWE Tag Team Championship
Basham Brothers vs Eddie Guerrero & Rey Mysterio 8.5/10- a much better match than anticipated. Guerrero & Mysterio carry the Bashams to a very good match. a great ending is what really helps this one.
great interaction between Carlito Carribean Cool & Theodore Long.
Rookie Diva Search 2005
Evening Gown, Talent & Swimsuit Competitions
Joy Giovanni vs Rochelle Loewn vs Lauren Jones vs Michelle McCool( Hosts: Torrie Wilson & Dawn Marie) 3/10- a basic waste of good ppv time. the only interesting thing was Marie's critical comments & confrontation with McCool.
Wrestlemania 21 Trailer- Pulp Fiction spoof with Eddie Guerrero & Booker T was hilarious.
Heidenreich vs Booker T 2/10- horrible, boring snoozefest. these 2 don't work well together. Heiden only works well with the Undertaker. Booker looked tired & disenchanted. sorry ending didn't help either.
great backstage gathering with Rey Mysterio, Eddie Guerrero, Charlie Haas, Hardcore Holly & John Cena. a must see conversation between Guerrero & Cena.
WWE Cruiserweight Championship
6 Man Elimination Match
Funaki vs Spike Dudley vs Paul London vs Akio vs Chavo Guerrero vs Shannon Moore 7/10- a good concept but pinfalls happened too quick. this whole thing was over in 10 minutes. a great performance by one of the guys. they should have held the guys in the back until their turn instead of all of them being at ringside. Moore's " Prince Of Punk" gimmick is lame & London's Indian heritage is overdone. he sort of acts like the Ultimate Warrior. screwjob ending hurts this one.
Wrestlemania Recall: Gimmick Battle Royal @ Wrestlemania 16.
great interview by JBL. reminds you of Stan Hansen.
Luther Reigns vs Undertaker 6/10- not a very good match. nothing spectacular. Mark Jindrak is thrown out by the referee. an average match.
Wrestlemania 21 Trailer- Basic Instinct spoof with Stacy Keibler, Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit, Christian, Mae Young & Fabulous Moolah is funny.
Tournament Final- # 1 Contender's Match for WWE Championship
Kurt Angle vs John Cena 9/10- a great match between these 2. the best of the night. Cena had to beat Orlando Jordan & Booker T to get here. Angle had to beat Rey Mysterio & received a bye into the finals.
WWE Championship
Barbed Wire Steel Cage Match
John Bradshaw Layfield vs Big Show 7.5/10- this did not live up to the hype. a big disappointment. The Cabinet, Theodore Long, Batista & John Cena make an appearance. the suprise ending & aftermath are what help it get a 7.5. without it; a 5 rating
Smackdown definitely needs Rob Van Dam & Dudley Boyz back from injuries. they need a bad shot in the arm to boost them.
