Another Smackdown ppv has arrived....
the one and only | I live south of Parts Unknown | 02/21/2005
(4 out of 5 stars)
"No Way Out 2005 will be remembered for the incredible one on one match between two of Smackdown's best superstars, Kurt Angle and John Cena. However don't think that was all that happened, there were two other matches worth watching, including the main event....
Heidenreich vs. Booker T
Seems like Heidenreich is still with the WWE. After his horrible feud with the Undertaker it is back to square one. The match was typical big man style.
Booker is great but Heidenreich tended to stick to weird facial expressions and bad wrestling. Heidenreich slams a chair into Booker's neck and gets disqualified. 7/10
WWE Tag Team Championships
Basham Brothers [champions] vs. Eddie Guerreroe and Rey Mysterio
A good tag team match, Eddie and Rey work well as a team. The Basham Brothers are improving, but definately not that good compared to other teams of the past. Lots of high flying by Mysterio. Eddie and Rey win after Eddie hits Doug, or Danny I'm not sure, with the tag belt. Good match. 8/10
Rookie Diva Competition
Ughh, so much valuable time is wasted with these girls. If they invested their money on women who can actually wrestle, maybe more people would watch, my opinion. Joy wins with practically 70% of the votes from the people at home. No score
Crusierweight Championship
Funaki [Champion] vs. Paul London vs. Chavo Guerreroe vs. Spike Dudley vs. Akio vs. Shannon Moore
Great high flying match. Maybe the WWE is finally wising up and giving the crusierweight divsion more attention. Paul London shined in that match, he literally faced all five other competitors.
His match with Akio is the best, both men took some great flying moves. And he even gave a neckbreaker to Akio off the top rope, great match. 9/10 Chavo wins after pinning london.
Undertaker vs. Luther Reigns
Now this is typical big men type match. Lots of power moves and huge spinebusters and tackling in this one. Reigns was just another small victim for the Undertaker leading into WM 21. Okay match and the Undertaker wins with a tombstone. 7.5/10
Finals of the #1 contenders tournament
Kurt Angle [in his hometown] vs. John Cena
Like their other two one on one matches together, this is definately great to watch. Both men really wrestle each other.
With Kurt giving three German Suplexes to Cena, and Cena with his "street fighting" and levelling Angle's head on the announce table over and over, great stuff.
Angle locks on the Ankle lock at least four times. I was expecting HBK to show up but he didn't. They are probably saving that for the show when Batista makes his contract signing. Great match. 9.5/10 Cena wins with the FU.
Barb Wire Steel Cage Match
WWE Championship
JBL [champion] vs. The Big Show
Very short, but very bloody. Big Show gets busted open almost immediately, JBL bleeds not long after that. As for the barb wire, not even used once. JBL did managed to get some wire cutters and tired to cut through, but Big Show stopped him.
Best moment of the match was when Big Show chokeslams JBL off the top rope and JBL goes right through the mat! Big Show walks out of the cage and thinks he has won, but JBL crawled out under the ring through the hole and retains his championshio. 8.5/10, just for the blood and the great chokeslam.
After the match Batista comes and destroys Jbl's cabinet members, then Cena comes out and takes out JBL.
This was definately a good ppv, maybe not worth 35 bucks, but well worth the 20 bucks when it comes out on DVD."

2/10
3.Heidenreich vs.Booker T
Velocity quality match, only 6 minutes, Booket T wins by DQ after Heidenreich hits him in the throat with a steel chair.Booker T deserves a better opponent. Heidenreiech is a boring and terrible wrestler.
0/10

2.Spike Dudley vs.Paul London
Funaki comes in immediately and knocks out Spike with a super kick and London pins him.

Amazing match.When Kurt attempts to hit Cena with Cena's steel chain, Cena FU's him and wins.
10/10
7.The 1st ever Barbed-Wire Steel Cage Match in WWE for the WWE Championship
The Big Show vs.JBL
The Bashams and Orlando Jordan interfere, but are thrown out by Theodore Long.JBL hits Show with Clippers that The Bashams brought in to break through the cage.I think the Barbed Wire was never even used, which ticked me off.Very bloody and brutal match though.JBL gets chokeslammed from the top turn buckle and amazingly goes trough the ring, but crawls out before Show can get out and JBL retains.After, Batista comes out and beats the crap out of The Bashams and Orlando Jordan while Cena beats up JBl.
9/10
