When "Turn It Up" hit, and there was a small pop and even the odd boo I could tell it wasn't going to be a good night. I was hoping the tag turmoil would take place later on, and that Scotty and Albert would have a chance by not coming out first or second. However, I was very wrong.

Because it was just after the nWo segment, the crowd didn't get too involved as it wasn't as exciting for them. I saw Storm and Christian come out and breathed a sigh of relied, at least they'd win one. Once again, I was wrong.

I swore numerous times when I saw Storm holding back Albert from breaking the count up. Scotty and Albert, who have been working for at least a couple of months as a tag team, have some impressive double team moves, and the crowd like them a lot (massive pop on Metal this week). I wouldn't of minded if we'd lost to the Dudleyz or something, BUT JUST BECAUSE OF THE FRIGGIN' HARDY BOYS THEY HAD TO LOSE TO STORM AND CHRISTIAN, SO THE WONDERFUL HARDYS WOULD BE AGAINST SOME HEELS!!

All in all they were in the ring for about 2 minutes, with no double teams, only half a Worm and even a small pop when Christian got the victory. Bollards to that.


Well after that massive disappointment I could't enjoy the rest of the event. RVD vs Goldust was good, the tag title match was crap (notice Spike performed a total of 5 moves, which is about the whole of his arsenal), Edge vs Regal was the same old stuff, I nearly fell asleep during Rock-Undertaker and Angle vs HHH was a bit stupid but the outcome was surprising.

My saviour was the main event. Jericho vs Austin, Undisputed Championship. For once the match made them both look respectable. They both had their fair share or offence, Austin nailed the stunner, Jericho hit two lionsaults (although Austin should've been a bit closer). Jericho may've tapped, but then again, which heel doesn't get a bit of luck? Even though he won thanks to the nWo, he looked like good champion. Austin is a lot like Rock, he's super-human. Neither will tap, and so the walls of jericho is of no use. Jericho used the belt at one point, but so did Austin. Both kicked out, showing their resilliancy. As I had guessed, the nWo cost Austin the match and I was pleased to see Jericho come out on top. The WM main event is now a mystery to me, but I'm pleased Jericho is in it.

No Way Out was a personal disappointment for me, and now I wish the WWF would just bring GMS back, because Scotty and Albert, despite their hard work, appear to be going no where.

Thanks for reading, Ant.

Supposedly, MTVUK has the rights to Heat (no proof to this), not sure about the PPVs.

Thanks for reading, Ant.

I can't help feeling disappointed myself.

That was the best PPV I've seen in a while

RVD/Goldust was a solid match and I'm looking forward to seeing them in some no d/q matches

I'd never seen Goldust wrestle until he came back to the WWF, and I'm impressed. I thought he would be like David Flair, and be nothing like his father

The walls of Jericho used to be a feared move but against Rock and Austin, it's useless, the same with all submission moves like the ankle lock. The walls used to be Jericho's finisher when he was a face because heels would tap.
Chris Benoit never tapped to the Crossface when the Rock used to do it to him. Why should Jericho, I could hate him if I had any respect for him.

If No Way Out was another disappointment at least I missed it. I can't wait until Channel 5 start showing PPVs.

I admit, I also fell asleep during the Rock vs. Undertaker match .... who one in the end, may I ask???

HHH vs. Angle was pretty good I though, but when HHH lost I was gutted, I really didn't think that would happen.

Main event was good, Tag Team match wasn't amazing, good to see te Hardyz back though, I do like them ..... well, I should say Lita :o).

I'm just glad that it was a Sky Sports Event, and so is WrestleMania, I would not have been a happy viewer if I'd payed Box Office to watch No Way Out.

I think WrestleMania should be pretty good though, as an Arena full of that many people is always an advantage :o). Bigger pops, etc...

I agree Ant.

I'm happy the APA won though. I wanted them.

Jericho vs Angle. I think someone else will be added into that. It doesn't seem like a very appealing match to me.

I agree. You nearly fell asleep during Rock vs. 'Taker. well, I DID fall asleep. It was diabolical. What is happening to the WWF. nWo got a huge response. Hall got floods of cheers, Hogan got praise from the King (and kinda from JR) and from the whole of Milwaulke and then some, yet Nash, well, he didn't quite get the same response. Can this be the WWF saviour...NOPE! The big question I'm asking myself now is, will WrestleMania be as bad as this? Has the WWF hit a record low? Will Jericho be Undisputed Champion come March? And will the Main Event at WrestleMania be K.Angle vs C.Jericho, 1-on-1? One thinks not!

P.S. Sorry about the spelling of Milwaulke. I know it's wrong!
