Wow.This pay per view was a complete and total waste of 35 bucks. Dan-e-o and I sat here watching this crap, begging for something to get excited about.
Dan did in fact pop a couple of times during the cruiserweight curtain jerker - but after falling in love with the X-Division, you gotta give me a little more than a helo and a topei to make me say "O".
Rey got screwed worse than Andre Iguodala. Why did he even win the Rumble? My only hope is that Rey somehow stops trying to be Eddie Lite and turns heel. Ah wishful thinking. Will "The Chosen One" (by HHH) go on to win his second World Title at Mania?
Tatanka was Hardy's mystery tag partner. What? Why? Is this MNM's destiny? To face WWE singles wrestlers (who are going nowhere) and team him with a WWF has been. First it was Heidenreich and Animal and now this.
Now here's the stupid thing. Tatanka and V1 beat the champs on a PPV ... but it was a NON-TITLE match! Look, I'm a big believer in non-title matches to help build a story (remember the Young Stallyons?) but NEVER EVER EVER EVER should there be a non title match on a freakin' pay per view. That's as close to wrestling blasphemy as you can come.
The start of the Booker / Benoit match pissed me off. Booker said he was going to forfit the title. He left the ring after handing the belt to Teddy Long. This went on for at least 5 or 6 minutes. Finally with Sharmell jawing at Benoit, Booker came back in and jumped him. ALL THAT for a Pearl Harbor job? Why? Then, Long told the time keeper to ring the bell and start the match. Start WHAT match?? Booker forfeited the title! Is this Benoit defending against Booker? No, of course not. The whole thing was so poorly done. I did ALMOST "O" for Booker's attempt at the Harlem Hangover. I would have popped for Benoit's title win... but the whole angle has been so predictable and so anti-climactic. As a sidebar - why can NO ONE execute a freakin' Sharpshooter? These dudes are making Bret look good. It's not a hard move to do. You cross the legs grab the ankles and a knee and SIT DOWN. Benoit's Sharpshooter sucks. It's even worse than The Rock's.
Before I discuss tonight's main event, I have two questions. 1) What the F did Taker do to walk back into a title shot. Talk about going into a main event ICE COLD. My second question is WHY IS KURT ANGLE A FACE?
He's going into a main event right after winning the title in very heel like fashion against a piece of crap like Mark Henry. Then he goes up against one of the WWE's biggest faces of all time. So, why not just skip the stupid program with Mizark and keep Kurt heel.
That being said, they did have the match of the night - but with all due respect..... anytime Taker is in the "Match of the Night" there's something wrong with the rest of the night.
Hey, what's with all the bleeps on a pay per view? Were Nick Patrick and Angle really cursing at each other that heavily?
I digress.
The series of finishers reversed was sick. Honestly, great work. The pinfall was awesome. Why wasn't there a replay?
Thank god for JBL. Him ending Bobby Lashley's winning streak made me happy.
Overall, this show gets one single solitary, lonely "O".

I think "No Way Out" at least deserved the two "O"s in its name. The Cruiserweights did pull off some sick spots and the 'O'verall attempt by WWE to recharge this division is deserving of no less than an "O thank God, they're doing somethign with these guys!". Especially, one Gregory Helms who just a couple of pay per views ago lost to Jerry Lawler!
Keep the fire building for this guy and the rest of the division. Showcasing them all on a PPV is step in the right direction. With all of ten or so guys in the same match, it could have been a huge mess. I think they executed well.
The other "O" definitely goes to Angle and Taker. I don't remember the last time I saw that many reversals at the end of a match. It had me thinking..."who's gonna win this thing?". Superb performance by both competitors...you know I'm a Taker mark...and this is why. He might not be the most skilled and flashy wrestler but he can put on a show...especially with the best of them...and Kurt's one of the best. Last night's main event was "O" so very dope!
Seriously? You paid money for a SmackDown PPV?
That actually makes me a little nauseous. "O" no, I think I threw up a little in my mouth there.
