WWE No Way Out 2009

[Jono078]

It was one of the best NWO PPV i've seen tbh.

Loved the chamber matches and Orton and Shane.. Tbh they were the only matches I viewed.

 

[Matt23]

I can see a hastily arranged roster trade coming up...

 

[azzah72]

Dead boring PPV..the only saving grace was Cena not winning the title..gosh I hope we see Orton challenging HHH but I doubt it will happen that way as he is set on RAW..but two heels at WM does not sit well with me!

Spoiler: SPOILER

Are you serious?

I thought they brought the FIRE! tonight.

Taker/HHH
Edge/Rey were absolutely on fire at the end of each chamber! Especially Rey/Edge!

Rest of the card was average to ok but the chambers made that up by heaps!

And the best part is it was completely unpredictable!

I found the PPV to be extremely worthwhile in terms of storyline progression but lacking in terms of match quality.

Kicking off with the Smackdown Elimination Chamber was a good move and I found it to be a very solid opener. I believe Kozlovs inexperience hurt the match in general but I found myself entertained through out the match. I loved how the match ended and despite winning his 13th World Championship, Triple H is a much more logical champion than the Undertaker.

Next came Randy Orton vs. Shane McMahon in what I'd like to describe as a damage control match as anything less than McMahon being bashed from pillar to post was going to hurt the WWE. In the end the match was generally dissapointing but much better than what it could've been. Orton's inability to put McMahon away was dealt with quite well and the way the match ended was very reasonable.

The ECW Title Match was truly forgetabble. Nothing of interest happened except for Hornswaggle receiving some abuse.

Shawn Michaels vs. JBL was a nice little match that told a decent story and sent the fans home happy.

Match of the night had to go to Raw's Elimination Chamber. Edge stealing a spot while flawed in terms of logic gave the match an injection of unpredictibility and really added another layer of entertainment to the proceedings. All in all I found it decently booked, especially how they handled Cena's and Jericho's eliminations but I did feel sorry for Kane and I can't recall what happened to Knox. They certainly broadcasted it but honestly I forgot he was apart of the match.

All in all No Way Out was a solid PPV that delivered some neat surprises setting up a captivating Wrestlemania.

Still was ridiculously predictable. I would have been amazed if HHH and Edge were not champions heading into Mania..and the rest of the card was so predictable. The RAW chamber match was pretty good, but that was about it. Found myself wanting all the other matches to finish ASAP as we knew the result anyway!

getting sic of how edge is getting all the action its crap, jeff hardy should of been still champion,they should of run with him longer.wrestlemania better be good other wise im gona stop watching wwe...id rather watch the old late 80's early 90's..today wwe is so predictable....

Hmm, im not so sure...

I had this in mind...

It's been said for a few years now that Undertaker is set to retire.

I thought it would have made a great story if he were to win the title and Orton, the legend killer wanted to take on the Undertaker in the Wrestlemania main event. That would have been great IMO.

Might of been ok but it was done without the title a few wrestlemania's ago, good match if i remember correctly.

I think WM25 could look like this now: (nothing is certain obviously)

HHH (c) vs Orton
Edge (c) vs Cena
HBK vs Taker
MITB
Both Tag Titles: MNM 2.0 vs Carlito/Primo
U.S Title MVP vs Benjamin vs Chavo
ECW Title: Swagger vs Christian
IC Title: CM Punk vs (not sure, prolly someone like Kane)
Jeff Hardy vs Matt Hardy
Jericho vs Someone to do with HOF & Micky Rourke! (perhaps Austin?)

Bout all i can think of! Solid card if i am close!

 

[lockyno1]

Punk vs Jericho for IC title would be better, plus the Women's title will be on the line

 

[azzah72]

You say the PPV is boring then ask for a match that not only has been done a few times already but has nothing to do with current story lines?

That would be boring and below Jericho for WM25.

He'll be involved in something bigger.

Womens title will be Horrendous unless it is Gail Kim vs Pheonix, that is the only womens match i could handle, unless Lita or Trish returned.

Screw the Joke Diva Title.

 

[Marshall_magic]

I like HHH vs Orton a lot for mania, especially seeing how it can fit into the storyline. I think the "ultimate opportunist" tag for Edge is being overplayed, that one today I didn't like at all. Wrestlemania will be interesting.

 

[Manurewa_Marlins]

From all accounts it was a very good PPV. Will be accessing it and watching it ASAP

 

[Big Pete]

I think Wrestlemania will be shaping up to be:

Randy Orton vs. Triple H (c)
??? vs. Edge (c)*
Christian vs. Jack Swagger (c)
Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker
Jeff Hardy vs. Matt Hardy
John Morrison vs. The Miz vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Kane vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. Kofi Kingston MITB
??? vs. Chris Jericho**
John Cena vs. Steve Austin
Random Diva Match
JBL vs. CM Punk (c)

* Will most likely be The Big Show but I wouldn't care for the match.
** Will be someone representing Micky Rourke.

I did not regret ordering that PPV both chamber matches were great I wanted Rey to win but it was never gonna happen one of WWE's best efforts in a long time

Spoiler: Spoilers

First chamber match was fantastic I thought.
It made Jeff look credible.
There was great interaction from the start - HHH's entrance for example.
The match seemed high energy for the majority.
I still think Koslov needs some work.
The only real good thing about the final two is you knew that who ever won - Mania will be good.

The No Holds Barred match really irritated me. I though it made Orton look weak and to a less than average competitor.

The ECW match.. well... enough said.

The All or Nothing was average I thought, but not in an derogatory way. It was a fairly average match not helped by how poor and out of shape JBL looks. Both played the characters well though.

The final chamber match was good but not as good as the first.
Once Edge was in you knew the finish would involve him, and the match got more and more predictable as it went on. With the final two being Rey and Edge ... there was no doubt how it would end.
Jericho looked strong throughout probably being the best performer in there.
Cena was beaten clean, but was still made to look strong.
Edge won clean but I have a hard time remembering a match where he won convincingly. Obviously a chamber match isn't set up for that but this "Ultimate Opportunist" tag of his is starting to make him look weak.

All in all though, while there were some underwhelming matches, most notably the ECW match, the PPV was made worth it with the two Chamber matches.

* Will most likely be The Big Show but I wouldn't care for the match.

Makes more sense for it to be Cena, especially with rumours being that Stone Cold would represent Rourke if he participated at all.

 

[Misanthrope]

Are you serious?

lockyno1 is notorious for having his head firmly lodged up his own ass when it comes to professional wrestling. Wasn't so long ago he claimed Mark Henry was the most entertaining member of the WWE roster

 

[Bumble]

F**ks sake, stupid marks saying that:

1. Edge is in it too much - he is the most talented all-round performer in the WWE and if you think otherwise, you're simply wrong.

2. It was predictable. The non-chamber matches were, yes...but Orton/Shane still had some decent spots and the chambers themselves were both awesome. Nobody saw that coming in the RAW chamber.

The PPV as a whole was excellent, the best since WM24. But I guess there's just no pleasing some people.

 

[lockyno1]

The RAW chamber match was the ONLY unpredictable match..and even that you knew who would win as soon as Edge was in it!

I didn't think so, I didn't have a clue till Cena got eliminated and i still though jericho might of had a chance.
