Official No Way Out Thread

[Funky Fly]

Yeah, here. I'll be a little busy with the Allstar game.

[loopydate]

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say I'm not the only one ordering this.

I read that so far Helms retained the Cruiserweight Title, JBL beat Lashley with help from Finlay, and Batista gave a speech saying that he'll be back sooner than later.

[Xero]

Batista WILL NOT DIE!

[McLegend]

Tanaka was Hardy's partner.

[jerichoholic169]

wish it was tanaka but its TATANKA.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

Well, Tatanka/Hardy over MNM makes this PPV suck so far.

It has five minutes to redeem itself. :mad:

[McLegend]

wish it was tanaka but its TATANKA.
Whatever

[Xero]

I used to play with Tonka... I would push and pull it around for hours on end...

[Cactus Sid]

Jeez an hour and half in and 7 replies?

Thats not good.

They seem to be updating the results match by match.

[CharismaInjection]

Benoit celebrating his US title win with Rey, Chavo and Vicki Guerrero...

[CharismaInjection]

Rey's lost the match. The way he looked when he entered gave it away...

[CYCLOPTERSAURUS]

Has Rey officially lost yet?

[Savio]

Taker won the title!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek:

[Me]

you're full of shit Saviour

[CharismaInjection]

Yep, Rey lost. He also cried his eyes out...

[UmbrellaCorporation]

WOOOOOOO ORTON WINS!

[Xero]

What was the point of bringing Eddie's family then?

[Funky Fly]

Taker won the title!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek:
Cut that out.

I am trying not to turn into a Banhammer nazi here.

[D Mac]

WOOOOOOO ORTON WINS!

I can't say that I'm not happy. But I definately did'nt like the way they did this storyline with Eddie and shit. :mad:

[loopydate]

What was the point of bringing Eddie's family then?

Because it allowed them to further exploit Eddie's death for financial gain.

[CharismaInjection]

So Orton got away with the Eddie bashing. That's nice...

Real emotion from Mysterio I bet, he really just got screwed..

[loopydate]

This whole angle was terribly written. I know they're looking for unpredictability here, but this was absolutely the wrong way to go about it. If you want Orton in the WM main event, have Orton win the Rumble. If you want to continue to push Rey on the backs of the waves of sympathy he's getting, leave the shot on him. Don't give us a sympathy win, then bury all that goodwill with this shitty angle.

[D Mac]

So Orton got away with the Eddie bashing. That's nice...



I'm sure he did'nt do it by his own choice. Vince.

[Nervous Ferret]

WOHA, if Taker wins

then they can finally end the Taker/Orton fued, WM to WM

I DID NOT REALIZE THAT UNTIL JUST NOW

[Nervous Ferret]

does taker have a match against angle neway? havent reeally been paying attn to smackDOWN!

[V]

yes, taker vs angle for the title

WTF @ Orton winning. I honestly did not see WWE doing this. Oh well, Angle stole HHH's title shot at no way out, in 2002 and he got it back the next night on raw. I doubt Rey will get his title shot back though, which is just retarded.

Maybe it'll still turn into a triple threat, if not, is this the only time the rumble winner wont get his title shot?

[Xero]

No. 1997's didn't go to WrestleMania (Austin won). Instead they did Taker vs Sid in a "Shit My Pants" match.

(Hey, I had to get a joke in somewhere. :shifty: )

[loopydate]

In 1997, Austin won the Rumble, but didn't get the WM Title shot.

Ditto 1999 for Vince McMahon.

Those are the only two times it's happened since WWF/E made the Rumble winner #1 contender in 1991.

[JH]

Orton winning was pure BULLSHIT

[6to1]

so the whole point of ray winning the rumble was to piss on eddies grave good thinking vince chavo may think of going to tna when his contract is up.

[JH]

Rey should go to TNA when his contract expires

[D Mac]

I had to read that 3 times to understand it, but OK.

[CharismaInjection]

Angle pinned Taker.

[Nervous Ferret]

shit, I wanted Orton/Taker and rey/angle :mad:

[loopydate]

No big surprise there. No way was UT tapping out.

[loopydate]

No clue what they have planned for Rey at Mania now. Pretty sure they're going with UT vs. Mark Henry, though.

[The Greater Power]

Wow, that was the best PPV I've seen in a LONG time.

Benoit/Booker, Orton/Rey, and the Main Event (MOTN) were all awesome, and everything else was what I expected it to be or better.

[D Mac]

Good job Vince,





NOT

[CNM]

I heard the 'Taker/Angle match was pretty good. I'm gonna have to check it out.

[PullMyFinger]

Mark Henry is still around??

[The Greater Power]

I heard the 'Taker/Angle match was pretty good. I'm gonna have to check it out.

From the Torch: Stellar match. One of Taker's best ever. They really delivered. There was no point you could accuse them of "filling time" despite going nearly 30 minutes. Really interesting counters throughout. Memorable match. The finish worked, too.

[loopydate]

Nice to see UT actually trying again. As great as Angle is, I don't think even he could pull a top-notch match out of the lazy Undertaker we've been seeing since his "Deadman" return. Sounds like UT really put some effort into this match.

[The Greater Power]

Yeah, it was just totally nuts. That match had some insane heat at the end.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

From a wrestling standpoint, it sounds like a good card.

Rey losing is total shit. My interest in Mania just went down the toilet.

[St. Jimmy]

well now i can offically say i want to watch Smackdown now.
Angle/Orton build up that will obviously culminate with Orton putting
Angles Medals in a bag and shitting in said bag.

I think they could put a decent match on togather.
Although still won't have as much meaning as Orton/Batista.
Just a better match.

That whole Batista thing tonight made me think,
what if Batista comes in at mania... and costs Angle the belt...

Seems interesting at the least.

[Corkscrewed]

Well, turning Batista heel would be the obvious-exciting thing to do. Wouldn't be surprised if they went that way anyway.

[Sephiroth]

Meh, they can still add Rey to the WM card.

I mean he is one of the people that brings in ratings, people mark out for him.

I know it's the WWE and they tend to screw things up....big time, but i think even THEY know that Rey should have a match (title match) at WM.

I hope they fix it and make it a Triple Threat match or even a Fatal Four Way at WM it can still be done, i wouldn't mind seeing: Taker vs Angle vs Orton vs Rey.
:-\

[Sephiroth]

Well, turning Batista heel would be the obvious-exciting thing to do. Wouldn't be surprised if they went that way anyway.

Yeah, they'll probably go with that.

I don't think it's the best thing to do though.

People liked Batista as the goodie good face that runs in and saves people, that is why they marked out for him.

I think that if they make him heel, they will lose alot of fans that marked out for him as a babyface, but thats just my point of view.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I still have faith in the WWE to shake things up. Kurt Angle vs. Randy Orton is good and all, but please, have Orton jump to RAW. Who challenges on SmackDown!? Why not Chris Benoit? Make the United States Championship mean something. Or there's Rey Mysterio, but it seems like the WWE doesn't give a shit about him.

[Funky Fly]

Yeah, they'll probably go with that.

I don't think it's the best thing to do though.

I think that if they make him heel, they will lose alot of fans that marked out for him as a babyface, but thats just my point of view.
I think what makes him an effective face is that he is a really nice guy backstage and he's all subdued, but when he gets in that ring, Dr. Jeckyll becomes Mr. Hyde and he just about mutilates the other guy.

He's good as a heel, but you really can't push him as anything other than a force of destruction, like they did in Evolution.

[DaVe]

The Taker/Angle match sounds absolutely awesome. Hopefully Mr. Savior can get it upped and linked to?

[Londoner]

I'm glad after watching the taker/angle match that i stayed up for this, the only good matches though was that and rey v orton.Taker/Angle though is one of those matches that make you realise why you started watching WWE/wrestling in the first place.It could be match of the year....

[Pinnacle Charisma]

I had to read that 3 times to understand it, but OK.

Lol it took me two tries

[Pinnacle Charisma]

Heres my predictions Randy Orton will win agasnt Angle (no surprise there management has planned for Orton to win the title at wm 22 ever since he went to smackdown ) then Bats will come and attack Orton leaving the match on a somewhat good note and setting up a orton/bats feud over the title. This will leave angle vs taker after wm as well given that ut isnt finished with Angle.

[McDoogle]

Angle is fucking incredible.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Wow, that was the best PPV I've seen in a LONG time.

Benoit/Booker, Orton/Rey, and the Main Event (MOTN) were all awesome, and everything else was what I expected it to be or better.

Agreed. Taker/Angle is the Match of the Year so far, I'd say. Well, as far as WWE goes.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I want to see Undertaker/Batista at Mania.

[loopydate]

I don't think Bats will be healthy enough to wrestle at Mania. He'll do a run-in, I'm sure, but I don't think he'll have fully rehabbed that tricep to the point where he could actually wrestle.

[Anybody Thrilla]

But he just said last night that his tricep wasn't torn anymore.

[CharismaInjection]

Technically his tricep wasn't torn anymore once he had his surgery. It needs to strengthen up, if he returned now, it would tear again.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I guess I was only halfway listening. I was in a crowded Hooters, after all.

[McLegend]

Angle/Undertaker was great.

[Russenmafia]

Thought Angle/Taker was ammense. Was really pleased with the finish as well. I was dreading a Mark Henry run in.

[DaVe]

Yep, just watched it. Was everything I expected it to be and more. Awesome match.

[Dave Youell]

You know Taker/Angle really reminded me of Japanese wrestling, with the way the crowd were slowly getting more and more into it.

The only down side is the whole match made Angles offense look shit, he hit taker with 2 angle slams and had him in an Ankle lock for 15 minutes overall and he still couldn't beat the guy!

[Anybody Thrilla]

Don't tell me you're surprised by The Undertaker not selling.
