WWE No Way Out - Results

World Heavywight Championship
Kurt Angle (C) v. Undertaker
The Undertaker put on the first half-decent match that he has in a while. However, he didn't get the win. Angle had him in the ankle lock and 'Taker reversed it into an armbar/head scissors, but Angle flipped it over and pinned the Undertaker. They tried to make it seem like maybe Angle's shoulders were on the mat too and cause some confusion, but Angle's shoulders were nowhere near the mat. No interference by Mark Henry.
Me: 1/1
David: 0/1

Wrestlemania Main Event Title Shot On The Line
Rey v. Randy Orton
I predicted that Rey would lose the title shot to Orton. I was right. Rey went for the 619, but Orton ducked it and rolled Rey up and pinned him while holding the ropes. Rey looked pissed off and ashamed (and for good reason - he's been exploiting Eddie's death as much as anybody). After the match, Orton go on the mic and announced that he was going to Wrestlemania. Rey threw a fit and strated pounding the mat. He then went to the back where Chavo and Eddie's widow Vicki were and started cursing up a storm (it was bleeped out). At first they teased that Chavo and Vicki were ashamed of Rey, but they all hugged. Rey then walked past a few wrestlers in the back, but they looked like Rey was radioactive.
Me: 2/2
David: 0/2

JBL v. Lashley
Prior to the match Finlay abducted Krystal Marshall (sic) and took her to the ring because he was looking for a fight and wanted to beat her up (I assume). Lashley came to the rescue and Finlay worked him over pretty good. JBL then came out and the match was started. At the end of the match, Finlay threw the ring announcer into the ring to distract the ref and hit Lashley with the Shilelagh (sic?). JBL then got the 1,2,3.
Me: 2/3
David: 1/3

U.S. Title Match
Booker T (C) v. Chris Benoit
Booker announced before the match that he was still injured and was going to pull out of the match. According to Teddy Long's orders, if Booker T didn't wrestle then Benoit would win the U.S. Title by default. Benoit called Booker a coward then Booker attacked Benoit from behind while Sharmell distracted him. The match was back on and Benoit won the U.S. Title. He then went to the back and was congratulated by Chavo, Vicki Guererro, and a buch of other faces.
Me: 3/4
David: 1/4

Tag Team Championship Match
MNM (C) v. Matt Hardy & A Mystery Partner
A few hours before the PPV I read that Hardy's partner was going to be Tatanka (Just as I predicted!). When learning this I realized that MNM would likely lose the titles. However, I am sticking with my original prediction. That prediction was wrong. Hardy and Tatanka won the belts.
Me: 3/5
David: 1/5

Cruiserweight Title
Gregory Helms (C) v. Scotty 2 Hottie v. Psicosis v. Super Crazy v. Nunzio v. Funaki
Paul London, Brian Kendrick, and Kid Kash were added to the match. It didn't matter though as Helms retained the title. I still expect to see Kid Kash get the title back in the near future.
Me: 4/6
David:1/6

Overall an OK PPV. I picked 67% correctly and David picked roughly 17% correctly. Until next time...
