Watching this PPV, I had high expectations for it, since Smackdown is the best show in WWE, this is a very good PPV as it is the last one before Wrestlemania.FIRST MATCH-HARDY BOYS & CHRIS BENOIT VS. MVP & MNM W/ MELINA IN A 6 MAN TAG TEAM MATCH Good way to start the match. It started a bit slow at the start, but later the pace quickened & the match got more exciting & entertaining. Benoit rolls through & makes Joey Mercury tap out to get a victory for the Hardy Boys & himself. 6/10SECOND MATCH- GREGORY HELMS {CHAMPION} VS. SHANNON MOORE VS. FUNAKI VS. CHAVO GUERRERO VS. DAIVAIRI VS. SCOTTY 2 HOTTY VS. JAMIE NOBLE VS. JIMMY WANG YANG IN AN OPEN CRUISERWEIGHT INVITATIONAL MATCH FOR THE WWE CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP I'm a very big fan of Cruiserweights, & I never get disappointed watching them, especially in this match here. Chavo Guerrero nails the Frog Splash on Jimmy Wang Yang to get the win & become the new WWE Cruiserweight Champion. 5/10THIRD MATCH- FINLAY & LITTLE BASTARD VS. BOOGEYMAN & LITTLE BOOGEYMAN This was not really a wrestling match, it was more like a comedy match, despite not being a clear wrestling contest, it still entertained me with the funny antics. Finlay nails the Little Boogeyman with the Shillaegh to get the win. Boogeyman does not deserve to be on a PPV, & does not deserve to be in WWE. 4/10FOURTH MATCH- KANE VS. KING BOOKER W/ SHARMELL This was a surprisingly good match, I thought it would be mediocre, but it turned out into a real competitive wrestling contest. Hats off to both men, pulling a very entertaining match. Kane wins after a Chokeslam on King Booker. 6/10FIFTH MATCH- PAUL London & BRIAN KENDRICK {CHAMPIONS} VS. DEUCE & DOMINO W/ CHERRY FOR THE WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS Not really that much of a good match, Deuce & Domino need more training to wrestle, & London & Kendrick are the only ones keeping this match fast paced. London & Kendrick retain their titles, after Kendrick gets a roll-up on one of the guys for the win. 4/10SIXTH MATCH- BOBBY LASHLEY {CHAMPION} VS. MR. KENNEDY FOR THE ECW CHAMPIONSHIP Mr. Kennedy attacks Lashley from behind, before the match starts. It was an okay match, but not really good. Lashley & Kennedy have a bit of chemistry, but not enough to pull a great match. Kennedy wins by DQ, after Lashley nails him with a chair, then assaults him with the chair all the way to the entrance area. Lashley still retains his title. 4/10SEVENTH MATCH- JOHN CENA & SHAWN MICHAELS VS. BATISTA & UNDERTAKER This is probably the greatest tag team match that I have ever seen. Hats off to all of these men {yes even Batista} for pulling off as close as a 5 star main event classic. All 4 of these men played their parts in the match very well, as this was a very great & entertaining tag team match. Batista turns his back on Undertaker spine-busting him, then leaving the ring, which prompts Michaels to nail Sweet Chin Music, then Cena to nail an F-U for the hard fought victory. 7/10I don't know why everyone says that this PPV is not good enough, or it is boring, I just don't get it. It is a great PPV which Smackdown always delivers. A great PPV indeed.Overall I'll give it 8/10 & a B+

WWE No Way Out is a difficult PPV to some up. The cancellation of the fatal four way ladder match was a slap in the face to everyone who purchased the PPV. This was false advertising by WWE and I let them knew that by an e-mail sent to them by myself. WWE put Deuce and Domino in with Brian Kendrick and Paul London, which in a sense the fans didn't care about, their gimmick sucks. Vince McMahon apparently changed the match because he doesn't know whether The Hardyz and MNM should team up, but he still put them in the opener with Chris Benoit and MVP? Doesn't make sense to me.Mr Kennedy faced Bobby Lashley in a terrible match. Firstly Kennedy and Lashley have zero chemistry together and this showed.But the PPV does have a happy ending, the main event was a strong one which pitted HBK and John Cena against Batista and The Undertaker. This one ended when Batista turned on the Taker and Cena gave him an FU.Chris Benoit and The Hardyz downed MVP and MNM in a decent six man tag match.Chavo Guerrero pinned Jimmy Wang Yang in a gauntlet Cruiserweight match which also included Scotty 2 Hotty, Jamie Noble, Shannon Moore, Daivari and Funaki. This should have been better.Mr Kennedy beat ECW World Champion Bobby Lashley via DQ in a poor match.Paul London and Brian Kendrick beat Deuce and Domino to retain the World tag titles in a poor match.Finlay and Hornswoggle downed The Boogeyman and Little Boogeyman in a comedy match.Kane downed King Booker via a choke slam in a good match.John Cena and Shawn Michaels defeated The Undertaker and Batista in a very good main event.Overall Grade - C

no way out 2007 was a really bad and if it is the road to wrestlemania they choose the wrong road.Chris Benoit & the hardy boys def MVP & Minn: in my view this was the best match of the night some good wrestling here but not much. 7/10cruisweight championship open(which chavo Guerrero won): awful, no high flying at all, really quick and boring. 3/10little bastard & Finlay def little bogeyman & the bogeyman: this was more comedy than wrestling, some laughs. 5/10Kane def king booker: a decent effort by these two but they could do better. 6/10wwe tag team championship Paul London & Brian Kendrick def deuce & domino:another boring match,no high flying by the champs. 4/10ecw world title Mr Kennedy def bobby lashley (disquilification): in my mind the worst match of the night. truly awful.i thought ecw was no rules,i was wrong 2/10john cena & Shawn Michaels def Batista & the undertaker: an okay match but could have been a hell of a lot better. 6/10overall this was bulls*it id give it a 3/10

A below average PPV with a poor crowd in LA, granted they didn't have much to cheer about but they were still very dull, in fact the only time they looked bothered was (surprise,surprise) whenever Cena came in the ring. It was as if whenever Cena was tagged in or did anything all of a sudden the crowd went "Oh we care now".(W) - Winners 1) Benoit/Hardy's (W) Vs. MNM/MVP - 7/10 - A good opener, a shame the night couldn't carry on this way. Benoit showed just how good he is in this match by really making everyone else in it look good, Hardys and MNM were there usual selves. I don't see a lot of MVP because I'm not a keen Smackdown follower and after this, I have to say I'm not really impressed.2) Cruiserweight Open (W) - Chavo Guerrero - 6/10 - This wasn't as good as one would have hoped but it was decent none the less, a couple of surprises as well.3) Finlay/Little Bastard (W) Vs. Boogeyman/Lil Boogey - 3//0 - Poor match as expected, Boogeyman is as stiff as Batista and just looks so crap out there, people ramble on and on about Finlay but not even he could make this match any good, only good spots were the midgets fighting.4) King Booker Vs. Kane (W) - 6.5/10 - A watchable encounter between the two vets, Kane was looking pretty good in this match.5) Deuce/Domino Vs. London/Kendrick (W) TAG TITLES - 5/10 - Another average bout, nothing special, by this time you're already craving for the main event. Deuce and Domino ARE NOT GOOD.6) Lashley (W) Vs. Kennedy ECW Title - 5.5/10 - The crowd killed this match, which in all fact wasn't that bad. Kennedy tried to carry Mr. over rated to a match and to be fair it was okay but then Lashley got in offence and just looked bad, bad like Batista and Boogeyman. Lashley needs work ASAP. The ECW title needs to be defended in Hardcore matches7) Diva talent Invitational - Ashley(W) 3/10 - Usual eye candy but I just don't care anymore. Jillian Hall tried to sing, mocking Brooke Hogan of course, so I guess its fair to say Hogan is done with WWE. Ashley unveils playboy cover, looking very skinny. Layla/Kelly/??? do pointless long dance.8) Cena/HBK (W) Vs. Batista/Undertaker - 7.5/10 - The best match of the night, crowd had no idea who to cheer for but at least for once on the night they made some noise, especially whenever Cena entered the frame as I stressed before. Batista, I have to admit looked a bit better and made more of an effort, his moves seemed more forceful, he wasn't as stiff as he had been for the past 6 months. A possible heel turn for him at the end as well? make your own mind up. HBK/Taker/Cena performed to there usual good standards. It was nice to see faces going tit for tat and hearing the crowd get confused as to who to cheer for.
