WWE No Way Out Results

John Cena & Shawn Michaels v. Batista & Undertaker
A much better match than I expected. Especially since 3 of the participants can't really wrestle all that well. The match of the night. Dave's prediction was close when he said that 'Taker would turn on Batista. Batista ended up being the one to turn.The turn came after Undertaker chokeslammed Cena while Batista powerbombed HBK. Batista then gave 'Taker a spinebuster and left the ring allowing 'Taker to get superkicked and F'd by Cena. Oops, I mean FU'd. I guess Batista will go into WM23 as the heel. Although there is no indication as to which RAW superstar will turn heel, I think (and hope) that it will be HBK since he is experienced playing the heel.
Dave: 1/1
Me: 1/1

WWE Tag Team Championship
Paul London and Brian Kendrick (w/Ashley Massaro) (c) vs. Deuce 'N Domino (w/Cherry)

A decent match, but nothing all that memorable. Ending came when D & D has Kendrick (I think) set up for the Doomsday Device only to have Kendrick reverse it and get the victory roll for the victory ( I guess that's where the name came from).
Dave: 1/2
Me: 2/2

King Booker (w/Queen Sharmell) vs. Kane

An okay match. I don't recall the exact ending, but Kane got the win. I think it was after a chokeslam.
Dave: 1/3
Me: 3/3

WWE Diva Talent Invitational
Kristal Marshall, Jillian Hall, and other divas from RAW/SmackDown!/ECW TBA

Miz hosted this 'match'. It started off with the Extreme Expose. Next came Jillian who horribly sang a song and dissed the other Divas. Candice, Maria (my favorite), and Ariel came out and started a huge catfight. Ashley then came out and took her top of to reveal a Playboy Bunny logo on each breast. Since Kristal, who was advertised for the match, wasn't even part of the match I am throwing this match out.
Dave: 1/3
Me: 3/3

Boogeyman vs. Finlay

A barely above average match. It turned out to be a mixed tag match and not a regular singles match. For some reason the little people and regular-sized people were allowed to wrestle each other. Ending came when Finlay nailed Mini Boogeyman with the shillelagh and got the pin.
Dave: 2/4
Me: 3/4

Lashley v. Mr. Kennedy

I knew that Kennedy wasn't going to get the title. I was thinking about changing my pick this afternoon to Kennedy winning by DQ. I should have changed it because that's what happened. While the ref was distracted Kennedy brought a chair in the ring and Lashey managed to get a hold of it and nailed Kennedy with the ref watching. After the match Lashley beat down Kennedy with the chair. I'm sure these two will have a rematch sometime soon.
Dave: 3/5
Me: 3/5

7-Way match for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship
Gregory Helms vs. Scotty 2 Hotty v. Daivari v. Shannon Moore v. Jamie Noble v. Funaki v. Jimmy Wang Yang
Helms went through a few guys until he was beaten by Yang. Yang then went the rest of the way. Once his music began to play Chavo came out and beat Yang for the title. Yang acted surprised when Chavo came out, but it was advertised earlier in the day that Cavo would be part of the match. Since Chavo wasn't part of the match when we did our predictions I shoudl throw the match out, but since Yang beat Helms anyways I will keep this match in.
Dave: 3/6
Me: 3/6

Benoit & Hardys v. MNM & MVP

This match was announced earlier in the afternoon. At the table during the match I predicted that the faces would win and Dave predicted the heels would. I was right. Dave claimed that since it was never in writing that it shouldn't count. While I don't agree I will throw it out anyways to avoid handing Dave a loss.
Dave: 3/6
Me: 3/6

Summary

David and I tied with 3/6 correct. Not too good after a poor showing for TNA's Against All Odds last weekend. Up next it's the GRANDDADDY OF THEM ALL - WRESTLEMANIA!!
