WWE No Way Out 2005
February 21st, 2005
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Mellon Arena

Heat:
1. Hardcore Holly & Charlie Haas vs Kenzo Suzuki & Rene Dupree
Reefer's prediction: Kenzo Suzuki & Rene Dupree
Winners: Hardcore Holly & Charlie Haas (Holly pinned Kenzo)
Match Rating: 6/10. Your typical Heat match - nothing special.

PPV:
1. Tag Title match:
Rey Mysterio & Eddie Guerrero vs The Basham Brothers (c)
Reefer's prediction: Rey Mysterio & Eddie Guerrero
Winners: New Tag Champions - Rey Mysterio & Eddie Guerrero (Eddie pinned Doug) at 14:51.
Match Rating: 6.5/10. Rather dire until the last 3 minutes or so.

2. Heidenreich vs Booker T
Reefer's prediction: Heidenreich
Winner: Booker T via DQ at 6:49.
Match Rating: 4/10. Poor rubbish. A terribly screwy finish consisting of Heidenbotch whacking Booker T with a chair.

3. Cruiserweight Title 6-Man Elimination match:
Paul London vs Chavo Guerrero vs Shannon Moore vs Spike Dudley vs Akio vs Funaki (c)
Reefer's prediction: Chavo Guerrero
Winner: New Cruiserweight Champion - Chavo Guerrero at 9:47.
Eliminations: Funaki by Paul London at 1:37
Spike Dudley by Paul London at 1:59
Shannon Moore by Paul London at 3:43
Akio by Paul London at 7:10 via countout
Paul London by Chavo Guerrero at 9:47
Match Rating: 7.5/10. Quite entertaining, if not rushed a little in the early stages. And Paul London deserves that belt a lot more than Chavo. Damnit.

4. Luther Reigns vs The Undertaker
Reefer's prediction: The Undertaker
Winner: The Undertaker at 11:45.
Match Rating: 4.5/10. Far too long for what should've been a squash match.

5. Rookie Diva 2005 Competition:
Joy Giovanni vs Rochelle Loewen vs Lauren Jones vs Michelle McCool
Reefer's prediction: Joy Giovanni
Winner: Joy Giovanni with 65%.
Match Rating: 0/10. An absolute piece of monkey cack. Even Torrie sounded as though she didn't wanna be there.

6. Winner faces JBL/Big Show at WMXXI:
John Cena vs Kurt Angle
Reefer's prediction: John Cena
Winner: John Cena at 19:22
Match Rating: 7.5/10. I expected a nice HBK run-in, and the way in which the ref was knocked out was awful. Good all the same, though.

7. WWE Title Barbed Wire Steel Cage match:
The Big Show vs JBL (c)
Reefer's prediction: JBL
Winner: JBL at 15:11
Match Rating: 8/10. Actually quite decent, and not overly long. An original ending, if not fairly predictable (I actually guessed that JBL might crawl out, and low and behold - he did). Big Show's procastination was very poor acting. Still, Batista's run-in at the end was nice, but JBL has got to lose that damn strap!

Peace out, I need some sleep. G'night.

well, i was pleasantly surprised i have to say.
the main even wasn't the horro i imagined it would be. it was by no means a classic, but i think the end worked really well to emphasise the big shows strength and JBL's cunning, crawling through the broken ring was genius :)
the cena/batista interaction was also pretty good. now i just have to watch raw!! but i have to go to uni first... curses.

The funny thing was she did also have trouble...standing up! She nearly stacked it in the middle of the ring...shame she didnt (would have added a bit of comedy!

Hehe. I guessed that JBL was going to crawl under as they kept the cameras off of him for ages, and Big Show kept stalling getting out of the cage, so naturally I marked out when I saw JBL crawling out.

Y'know the ending was quite a nice surprise, I'm tired of seeing the same thing over and over...crawling under the ring, how smart :D

And in other news, Batista still thinks he is Goldberg...poor guy.

wasn't an original ending not in general anyway. People have been slammed through the ring before although granted they haven't slid under the ring afterwards and won a cage match that way. Probably because they were too busy being unconcious :-D

Weren't the WWE trying to keep Angle for as long as possible? A leg drop to the back of the neck from the top rope isn't going to help is it...

Kurt Angle should of won tbh. Good match though.

If you want to watch a real wrestling event, then the WWE isn't the first place that springs to mind.
