WWE No Way Out 2006 (2006)

Witness four wrestling matches of colossal proportion in the WWE's annual "No Way Out" event. When eight of the biggest names in professional wrestling settle their grudges inside the ring the action is brutal the motivations are personal and the name of the game is pain.Cowboy and self-proclaimed "wrestling God" JBL takes on the soft-spoken Bobby Lashley. JBL might be undefeated in singles matches but Lashley and his haunting "Boogeyman" music previously laid JBL low in a Smackdown event with the vicious "dominator" move. Chris Benoit and Booker T. continue their struggle for the U.S. Championship when they meet in "No Way Out." In the past Booker T. has used replacements to defend his title for him as he nursed his injuries but now he'll face the determined Benoit himself. In the thrilling Royal Rumble Rey Mysterio outlasted dozens of fighters to win the event but Randy Orton feels like the win was a fluke. To make matters worse Orton continues to insult Mysterio's dead friend Eddie Guerrero. The two have already brawled outside the ring but at "No Way Out" they will officially air their grievances in the form of pins slams and throws. And in the widely anticipated featured event World Heavyweight Champion Kurt "the Wrestling Machine" Angle will confront the chilling power of the Undertaker. Only seconds after Angle claimed the coveted title the Undertaker appeared in a black chariot and announced his intention to become the champion and then called down a lightning bolt to strike the ring! Can Angle's near-perfect skills hold up against a wrestler who doesn't seem quite human?Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: SPORTS/GAMES Rating: NR UPC: 651191945252 Manufacturer No: WWE94525 Product Description

Solid for WWE Standards.

Considering how many reviewers reviewed this event. I think we can agree that this was the best No Way Out event since the 2001 edition. Solid card from top to bottom resulting in a classic main event, more on that later.

Cruiserweight Champion Gregory Helms vs Nunzio vs Scotty 2 Hotty vs Funaki vs Psicosis vs Super Crazy, Kid Kash, Paul London & Brian Kendrick. This was a good opener that featured some nice fast paced action, as typical cruiserweight matches should be. I would have preferred elimination rules but I won't complain about this one.

Lashley vs J.B.L. After a wierd segment involving Finlay and the interviewer, this was a typical powerhouse match. Bradshaw did great, which surprised me and although I am not familiar with Lashley, he was not bad either.

WWE Tag Team Champions MNM vs Matt Hardy & Tatanka? Why not Jeff Hardy? Oh well, maybe some other time. As for the match, it was fairly decent but it suffers being a non-title match and that Tatanka (who did not look bad at all) was the mystery partner.

WWE United States Champion Booker T vs Chris Benoit. As most Benoit/Booker T matches are, this was a very good match. However, I have seen these guys wrestle so many times (As D.P. mentions their series in WCW & WWE) that nothing really surprised me. The beginning of the match was interesting but still solid contest.

Winner goes to the WrestleMania Main Event: Rey Mysterio vs Randy Orton. Orton is a great heel and Mysterio is a great wrestler but the match was not what I expected. First of all, like many reviewers, I did not like the referrence of Eddie Guerrero's death to hype this match. Clearly both men don't need this for any match. The match had some bright moments but it was too short for you to get into. A surprise ending helps the match.

World Heavyweight Champion Kurt Angle vs The Undertaker. If there is only one reason to see this event, it is for this match. I have enjoyed all their matches together but this was their best match. This one starts off slow with some chain wrestling, they trade submission holds, some brawling, a great table spot (look out for Angle's face when he hits the ring steps), breathtaking two counts, solid counters and a unique ending. Awesome wrestling match and to me, the best match of the year.

Overall, even though I had a fall out with the WWE considering how the entertainment factor has somewhat decrease (look at John Cena for example), this is an event that you need to get your hands on. If anything, just for the main event itself. September 5, 2007

No Way Out 2006

(Cruiserweight Championship)
Kid Kash vs Psicosis vs Super Crazy vs Paul London vs Nunzio vs Brian Kendrick vs Scotty 2 Hotty vs Funaki vs Gregory Helms:Since naming the opponents takes so much room, let me sum it up: Little Cruiserweights run around doing their neat flips for 25 minutes and then the match closes with it's painfully predictable ending. 6.5/10

Lashley vs JBL:This match could have been a great fight between 2 great superstars, but instead JBL cheats and wins. (Surprise!) 5/10

Matt Hardy and Tatanka vs Johnny Nitro and Joey Murcury:Better than you might expect. A good length and pace make this near PPV quality stuff. MH and TTK make a great team. 7/10

(United States Championship)
Chris Benoit vs Booker T:Anytime Chris Benoit steps into that ring, you know you've got one hell of a match. This is no exception. 8/10

(Wrestlemania Title Opportunity)
Rey Mysterio vs Randy Orton:This was simply a great match. Surprises were around every corner. That's what we've come to expect from little Rey. In the end, you think you've got it all figured out, and then.... 8.5/10

(World Heavyweight Championship)
Undertaker vs Kurt Angle:This match was long, a good 30 minutes. It got slow at points, but never failed to please. I loathed the ending, but even I can't deny the quality of the match put on by the 2 superstars. 9/10

Overall:The pacing could have used some work (the first 3 matches were really dull, and the final 3 were edge of your seat exciting) but still, this is a great PPV that would be a great addition to your collection. 8/10

No Way Out 2007

This PPV will change to be a joint PPV, as Smackdown are battling to have a good PPV by themselves.
I expect it to be something like No Way Out 2003, where there are some legends who come back.

Match 1 - Benoit vs Chavo Guerrero
This should be a great match, something like survivor series 2006, I expect Chavo Guerrero to win, this will allow Benoit to have a title shot at wrestlemania 23 ( 8 - 12 min )

Match 2 - Mickie James vs Maria
Just your average Women's match. Very short maybe 2min. Winner : Mickie James

Match 3 - Crusierweight Invitational
Again a very short match, I expect Gregory Helms to retain ( 4 min )

Match 4 - Undertaker vs Mr Kennedy ( No DQ )
Expect a good match, Mr Kennedy will win again. Expect there to be a lot of blood ( 15 min )

Match 5 - John Cena vs Umaga
Quite a short match, as Cena gets himself DQ because Umaga was kicking hi a**. ( 9min )

Match 6 - King Booker, Finaly, William Regal vs Batistia, The Hardy's
This will be simaler to No Way Out 2003 match. A good match winner Batistia, The hardy's ( 14min )

Match 7 - The Rock vs Randy Orton
Probaly match of the night. The Rock will turn face again ( Winner : The Rock ) setting up a gimmick match for wrestlemania 23. ( 13 min )

Match 8 - New World Order vs DX & CM. Punk ( Elimination Match )
Match of the Night by far. Scott Hall gets eliminated first in a about 10 min, then CM. Punk and Kevin Nash go on for another 10 min, before both of them get eliminated by each other,( DQ elimianation ). Then it comes down to Hogan vs DX. Vince comes down to the ring a gives a chair to HHH. Who then hits Michaels and Hogan with it on purpose.. This turns HHH into a heel again and get DQ. Michaels will then get up first a sweet chin music Hogan, but he can only get the two count, then Hogan starts to Hulking up. I delivers shawn Michaels the leg drop, but Michaels still kicks out. Hogan does it three times in a row. And gets the win ( Winner : Sole Survivor : Hulk Hogan ( 31 min )

This will be the greatest No way Out ever.
