WWE No Way Out

Another strong PPV for the WWE but what's with having two Elimination Chamber matches on the card? Talk about overkill, but these were great especially when you consider who was in the Smackdown! EC (Big Daddy V and The Great Khali). However WWE wisely booked these two to last longer than needed and a wise move it was. As soon as Khali entered he was heckled by the fans shouting a richly deserved "You can't Wrestle" chant and even though Big Daddy V looks abysmal on most occasions he didn't look that bad well disregarding the man boobs of course.

The Raw EC match was far superior to the Smackdown! EC match partly because it had 5 good workers (Jeff Hardy, HHH, Umaga, Chris Jericho and Shawn Michaels) and these can work believe me. My jaw dropped when I seen Umaga performing the double Samoan drop on Y2J and Michaels, that was awesome and even though everyone knew HHH would win, it was great seeing that he helped elevate Hardy into a main player in the match. Fans actually booed HHH and cheered Hardy.

The Smackdown! EC match was good and Batista and The Undertaker certainly work well together. MVP took a chokeslam off one of the elimination pods from The Undertaker, I'm surprised MVP agreed to do this because he's only been in the WWE for a year and a half and doesn't have that much experience well at taking big bumps anyway. Finlay proved he can still take big bumps when he allowed Taker to chokeslam him on the steel outside, that most have hurt like hell. Bearing in mind Finlay is 50 years old.

The rest of the card was average but was flawed by Ric Flair having a match against Mr Kennedy. I don't care how much Flair has done for the wrestling business, Kennedy deserved better. Flair won the with the figure four leg lock in a passable contest.

The first match on the card was CM Punk against Chavo Guerrero. This was poor and Punk doing Eddie Guerrero's 3 suplexes spot dampened the mood further, what an idiot. Guerrero won to retain his ECW title and was actually cheered by some fans. This is a shame as Guerrero and Punk are good workers but for some reason they didn't click in this match.

Results from the show: Chavo Guerrero downed CM Punk to retain the ECW title in a poor match.... Edge defeated Rey Mysterio in 5 minutes to retain the World title (Rey suffered a bicep injury about a month before the event and was unable to compete in a full match).... The Undertaker bested Finlay, Big Daddy V, The Great Khali, MVP and Batista in a very good Elimination Chamber match.... Ric Flair defeated Mr Kennedy via a figure four leg lock in a so so match.... John Cena downed Randy Orton via DQ in a passable match.... Triple H defeated Jeff Hardy, Chris Jericho, Shawn Michaels, Umaga and John 'Bradshaw' Layfield in an excellent Elimination Chamber Match to win the right to face the WWE champion at Wrestlemania (even though John Cena won the Royal Rumble to go on to face a Champion at Wrestlemania 24) Overall Grade - B-

The show is overall decent but watch this PPV for the main event elimination chamber match featuring Triple H, Shaun Michaels, Umaga, Jeff Hardy, Jericho and JBL.

What a great match, there's dangerous looking train wreck spots, Shaun bumps like crazy and bleeds everywhere and Umaga is a beast who destroys everyone. If he didn't tragically die so young i think he would have been a huge star as he is very skilled for such a big man. He makes other big guys who are featured on this PPV like Visera and the great Khali look useless.

Seeing everyone hit their finishers in a row to eliminate him was a great moment.

Once Jeff Hardy enters the match he is on fire and the crowd goes mental.

Jeff deserved the win but sadly in the end it went to Triple H.

ECW championship – Chavo Guerrero vs CM punk.

A good match with good build up. It seems strange to see Punk as a fan favourite but a good energetic match 7/10.

World Heavyweight championship – Edge vs Rey Mysterio.

As talented as he is it can sometimes be hard to take Mysterio seriously. The build up story to this was rather daft and the fact the match finishes almost carbon copy to the Rumble match sums it up. 5/10 Smackdown elimination chamber.

Two of the greatest athletes ever in Batista and Undertaker start off the match and other 'superstars' in Finlay, MVP, the great Khali and Big Daddy V enter. Easy to tell who the final to will be but what a finale and oh my word what a fantastic finishing manoeuvre! Just for that this is worth an 8/10.

Ric Flair vs Mr Kennedy.

Good match, Mr Kennedy (Or Anderson on TNA) is a brilliant mic worker and great athlete and with the prospect that if Flair lost he would retire this boiled some good tension and a great finish. 8/10.

WWE championship - John Cena vs Randy Orton.

With Cena's big return at the rumble this got the fans excited and a good lengthy match and although I can barely stand Cena he was alright, the ending to this match was so abrupt and funny. 8/10.

Raw elimination chamber.

With a good array of matches behind it No Way Out boiled down to a sensational last match that did include a roster of all respectable stars in Jeff Hardy, JBL, Y2J, HHH, Umaga and HBK and despite my accidental stumbling on the result, you could not guess who would win this. Fantastic moves, fast and slow paced, bodies hitting steel, a swanton off a pod a bloody collection of bodies, this was easily match of the night. 10/10.

A good pay per view, entertaining though not classic but if anything at a cheap price I would buy simply for that last Raw chamber match. 7/10

I have been a fan of the WWE since the 80s and I have seen the best come and go but I haven't seen the WWE for year now because of John Cena. In my opinion Cena is not good enough to be so famous but well… like WrestleMania its close, I decided to see "No Way Out" just to see who's who in wrestling. The matches... Well the Match between Punk and Guerrero was pretty decent but nothing especial. Smackdown Elimination match was pretty good. At first was a little slow but when the other superstars got in the ring it got better. The Undertaker is going to WrestleMania against Edge for the title. The Undertaker can still kick butt. Kennedy vs. Flair was very stupid. Flair should retire. I know a lot of fans find amusing to see Flair wrestle at his old age, but Flair doesn't need to prove that he was one of the greatest. It is Time to pass the torch. Misterio vs Edge was very lame match, the only thing that saved the match was the return of Big Show. Orton vs. Cena for the WWE title was a very boring match. But it looks like people are starting to love Cena. I don't know what happen to Orton he used to be such a good wrestler. He has become slower. Now Raw Elimination chamber was really good. You had the best the WWE had to offer. Umaga's double Samoan drop was pretty cool. Jeff Hardy was pretty impressive and all the other. HHH ruled the night. Bottom line, Raw Elimination Chamber match was the best of the night. I just hope that WWE gets better because this pass year wasn't very good. Let's just see what happens in WrestleMania.
