Reviews
PlatinumRead Just so...so bad
Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
amanwhorocks 1. WWF Hardcore Title Match: Champ-Raven Vs. Big Show - There appeared Blackman, Bob Holly and Billy Gunn and Crash - A few pins, and Big Show took the belt from Raven. Hmm, weird. Totally. 5.5/10 2. WWF Intercontinental Title 4 Way Match: Champ-Chris Jericho Vs. Chris Benoit Vs. Eddy Guerrero Vs. X-Pac - Guys put a solid effort and a lot of cover moves. Jericho finally pinned X-Pac. 8.5/10 3. Trish Stratus Vs. Stephanie McMahon - My favorite feud. Girls are completely into match and so crowd. Prepared good action. Finally the Stephanie got pin with a help by William Regal. Kill me, but that was one hell of a match. 9/10 4. 2 out of 3 Fall Street fight Steel Cage Match: Triple H Vs. Stone Cold - Tough guys, that slobber-knocker prove that. Austin blooded a lot and Triple H ate unkind bump onto table. Whole match won "accidentally" HHH. 8.5/10 5. Steven Richards Vs. Jerry Lawler - Nudity vs. censor feud. Censor won that time, when Kat accidentally shot Lawler with the title, but hey, Lawler still can carry the match in 2001! 6.5/10 6. WWF Triple Threat Tag Team Title Table Match: The Undertaker/Kane Vs. Edge/Christian Vs. Dudley Boyz - Decent bout, Dudleyz retained, when Christian went through the table. 7.5/10 Rocks awful promo and let's have a match.7. WWF World Heavyweight Title Match: Champ-Kurt Angle Vs. The Rock - Match was one of the best title matches I've seen in a while, crowd shouted like crazy. Shame for that one screwed pin, which had Rock surely won. The second one, he got. 9/10
Terryfan Here is my review of a classic World Wrestling Federation Pay Per View Event that is called NO WAY OUT 2001This event has been called a huge hit with the fans of the World Wrestling Federation and wrestling fans in general.The build up for this PPV one of the best well done story telling and story lines in wrestling history.Match 1: The Big Show vs Raven for the World Wrestling Federation Hardcore Title. This was a very violent opening match however it was a short match.Score 6 out of 10Match 2: Chris Jericho vs Chris Beniot vs X-Pac vs Eddie Guerrero 4 Way Match for the World Wrestling Federation Intercontinental Championship. This match is very solid with four great wrestlers that always have fast and furious matches.Score 8 out of 10Match 3: Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley vs Trish Stratus. This match was build up for weeks because those two women hated each other with a passion because of a mess understanding when Triple H try to teach Trish a wrestling move and Trish's relationship with Vince McMahon who is Stephanie's Father.They work a good match to my surprise both work very well together.Score 7 out of 10Match 4: Triple H vs Stone Cold Steve Austin 2 out of 3 falls match. First Match: Normal Match Second Match: Street Fight Third Match if needed: Steel Cage MatchThis is my personal favorite match from No Way Out this match was to end Triple H and Stone Cold rivalry that has been going on for two years beginning in 1999. This is one of my favorite feuds in wrestling they had so much going on in their feud. This is the final match in their war.They work a wild match and the fans were into this match all the way from start to finish The first match was just a straight up one on one match then it turn into a street fight where they beat the heck out of each other. Finally The Steel Cage match was the best way to settle the score once and for all.This match is my favorite match on the show because it was made to be a classic one of my favorite matches ever so this is the reason you need to watch this show for their match. It won 2001 WWF Match Of The Year and it deserve it.Score: 10 out of 10Match 5: Steven Richards vs Jerry "The King" Lawler. Personally this match had one of the worst gimmicks in wrestling history the Right To Censor one of the worst groups in the WWF still it is what it is. Both are good wrestlers but this match was not one of their best in their respected careers Jerry left the WWF a week later after this event.Score 5 out of 10Match 6: The Dudley Boyz vs The Undertaker and Kane vs Edge and Christian Triple Threat Tables Match for the World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Championships.
