There's NO WAY OUT
 

Well, the card looks pretty good from over here.

Well, I higly doubt the card is complete, heck it doesn't even have the Matt Hardy vs Billy KidMan match for the Cruiserweight title which was announced on smackdown. I'm aalso assuming that there will be some type of match to determine the number one contender for the Raw World Title at WrestleMania XIX.

The card looks decent thus far.

Steve Austin vs. Bischoff - The bookers better start working on this one early or else Steve Austin's return to the WWE will be a complete abortion.

The Rock vs. Hulk Hogan - Another potential classic if just for the crowd reaction this one is going to get. A hot crowd will make an average match seem amazing. Hopefully Hogan will be able to pull another good performance out of his aging body. i have high hopes this will at least be good.

Steiner vs. HHH - The last one was painful to watch. I don't expect much more out of this one unless they book it masterfully and add the wildcard that is the rest of Evolution into the mix. I actually WANT to see a lot of interference in this one just to keep it tolerable.

Team Angle vs. Team Lesnar - This should be worth the price of the PPV alone. Get your VCRs ready.

Test vs. Jericho - Jericho is always solid and Test is underrated but not on par with Jericho. I would have much preferred to have seen Jericho vs. Michaels but this one should be interesting and not just filler.

Hardy vs. Billy Kidman - Talk about exact opposites. Matt Hardy has one of the best ring pewrsonalities in the WWE right now, while Kidman can work but has as much charisma as talcum powder. This will be good, but it will take Hardy to push this one to a memorable match and not just filler, as Jericho and Test might very well be if Jericho isn't allowed to call the shots.

This looks to be a solid PPV, but not a blow away by any stretch of the imagination. There's not enough variety of matches and of the 3 best workers in the company (Angle, Test and Benoit) are in the same match. I would like to see the Dudley Boys vs. Regal and Storm in a tables match myself. the mix of hardcore (Dudleys + Tables) with excellent traditional matwork (Storm and Regal) would make for an outstanding combination. Plus you could take their series of matches to the next level of intensity to finally put an end to the feud so that they could both move on.

I think you mean Angel, Benoit and Lesnar or someone other than Test because you called him an average wrestler a few paragraphs up.

And I agree with you that the card doesn't blow anyone away, but I think it looks to do a good job of what it's supposed to do and that's build interest for WrestleMania XIX, but I should wait for more matches to be announced.

LOL!!! I meant EDGE... not Test... and Lesnar ain't that great of a worker. He's a good big man and I enjoy the dynamic he brings, but thats it.

Damn one word names always getting me confused...:mad:

Well, I mean Test and Edge got a lot in common

-they both have one word names
-they both are Canadians
-They are both former Tag Champs, IC champs, European champs and USa Champs
-they both teamed with Chrisitian


Er ok well I don't know, but some of it I took from the interview Edge had before fighting Test at Survivor Series 2001.

Man, Stone cold V-s Bischoff, man that'll be a funny and entertainment match. Can't wait to see the other matches. "Team Angles", LMAO!!!.

I don't really see this as being decent at all, looks kinda ****ty to me. I can't wait for Wrestlemania though, No Way Out never seems to be that great when WM is next.

Boschoff vs Austin could be pretty entertaining and Hulk vs Rock could be awesome, but I don't think it'll be a "classic" like their WM match was. I doubt the rest of the matches will be very good apart from the 6 man of course, that should be great.

And Strangler, you think Edge is one of the top three workers in the company? I'd say Austin, Rey, and Guerrero should be ahead of him, but that's just me.

I bet ya'll can't wait for the HHH match :)

Right?

Anyone?

I think it's the best match on the card... *nods*

*lays the smack down on TheGame*

I think I'll use that match as a rest period. ;)

I'm looking forward for some comedy with Austin and Eric ......especially when the chief will come running down for Eric and get a stunner :D

Oh yeah that 6 man tag should be great.

I put Edge in the top 3 because he can work a match and the crowd. Austin hasn't wrestled in a LONG time, so we'll see how good he is when he comes back. Even at 100% he'd have a hard time carrying Bischoff to something watchable. Guerrero and Rey are awesome, but they are just mid-carders. Edge can work plus he's a believeable threat to the title. Thats what elevated him above Guererro in my eyes.

And Rey isn't even that great. He's a great high flyer, but at the end of the day thats about all she wrote. Head scissor takedowns are fun, but 10 of them in a match, well, that just gets old.

I again with Fingersman, the Triple H match should be used as a rest break, you know to finish homework before Monday, get something to eat, take a short nap (You know it's gonna be like 30 mins) or something useful.

I think you may be forgetting that Austin already came back...

He was at last week's RAW when the cameras went off the air.

You forget the Mcmahon rule of wrestling...

If it didn't happen on TV... IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

Just ask Ric Flair and Antonio Inoki*:D







*I will explain if asked...

Well I kinda agree, but I think Rey can be in some awesome matches if he's fighting someone who can control the match well (like Angle (Smackdown twice Summerslam once) and Guerrero(Havoc '97, Smackdown), and I also enjoy his spotfests with Juvi or Psicosis a lot.

And I don't know what the hell they got planned for the Triple H/Steiner match. Probably tons of interference, and it should be a lot shorter. They can't just ignore the fact that the crowd hated the match and booed Steiner out of the building at Rumble.

Yes they booed him out of the building in Royal Rumble and cheered for him on Raw.
:rolleyes:

Well, they have added yet another bathroom break to the card, according to Raw, Big Show will take on the Undertaker, talk about your five-star, MOTY canadiate type matches.

There are matches that make you get a PPV, but thats the first one that makes it certain that I WILL NOT be getting No Way Out.:D

And according to some sites, Test (and Stacey) were snowed in and couldn't make the trip to Raw yesterday so they're scrapping the Jericho vs Test match.

Yeah, and there's heat on them about it too. Evidently the company feels that there was advance warning and that they should have left on Saturday before the snow fell.

That's the updated card, so it's ofifical the Test/Jericho match has been cancelled and it will be replaced by Jericho/Hardy to my knowledge even if that was the main event on Raw a few weeks ago.

**** pro wrestling. It's no different than chick soaps.

**** you.

And as for the rest of the people in this thread, maybe it's just me because a lot of people seem to like the card, but I'm not all that excited about it. Jeff Hardy can't do **** nowadays, and as good as Jericho is he can't save that match. I'm just plain not interested in the tag title match at all. Undertaker vs Show can't be very good, same goes for Triple H and Steiner. The Cruiser match COULD be pretty good, and the 6 man should be SWEET. I'm sure Bischoff vs Austin will provide for some sort of entertainment, and same goes for Hogan/Rock, but I just can't help but think it'll be a dissapointment as there's no way it'll live up to it's hype or be as good as the WM match. Their first match just WORKED.

But ah well, the good and bad in this PPV seems even to me on paper, if Hogan and Rock is any good, and if the 6 man is as good as it can be, it'll be alright then.

Wow yet another off topic post by someone who has such a small opinion of themselves they feel to need to attempt to make themselves feel better by belittling something they don't like on a thread filled with fans.

Heres a little advice: If you don't like it, don't bother commenting on it. When you do, you come off as just a little pathetic.

Back on topic, I don't really like the card that much either (hence the comment that I'm not getting the PPV). I'm just getting tired of the same old thing.

Off topic? Maybe a little. But it's still a wrestling thread....so to me it seems like a good place to post my opinions on the sport. And no, I don't belittle wrestling because i lack self esteem. I just don't see how you pro wrestling fans like watching buff men in tights grab each other. It's not like the outcome of the match is determined by the player's physical ability. Sure, wrestlers have to be built to be in wwf but the whole thing is scripted. Just like any other TV soap or drama.

Just keep telling yourself that and everything will be oookaaaay.

Dude, why are you being such an asshole about it. I make a post just to get the wrestling argument going and you start attacking me personally. Why?

Every other wrestling fan here knows why. I feel no need to explain it to you.

I try my hardest not to reply to people like him, but I usually can't help it.

Anyhoo, after tonight's Smackdown, I'm pretty damn excited for Rock/Hogan. :cool: The Rock as a heel= SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEET. Great Smackdown overall in my opinion, but did Benoit have to fight Albert AGAIN? Can't they stick him on Velocity and have Benoit face someone good?

Update: I just found out that there is a good chance that Edge may not be at No Way Out due to the seriousness of his neck injury. He needs surgery.

The rumored replacement???

RHINO

SWEEEEEEEEEET!!!!:D
