DVD : WWE - No Way Out 2008

Rating: - very hard to fault
No way out was the last pay per view before mania so some things had to be created to give mania matches that people wanted to see,it all started or continued on from here and no way 2008 serves as a very good event,plenty to talk about and an exciting card before the event even kicked off.
The event started with the ECW championship up for grabs,the holder chavo was pitted against cm punk,this match was very good,energetic and skilled,a botched move decided the outcome to what was a great opening encounter.
Next up,yes the second match of the night was an elimination chamber with smackdown wrestlers competing,the winner would then get a shot at the world heavyweight championship at mania,we had the undertaker,big daddy v,the great khali,MVP,finlay and batista in this unforgiving structure,this match wasnt as bloody as some years and it felt a bit rushed given that the time between each pod getting open was reduced to four as opposed to 5,but this was a great and sometimes glorious match,plenty going on which means that we should have split screen on our dvd releases perhaps,great match.
Ric flair fought mr kennedy in another career threatening match wherein if flair lost he would have to retire,this wasnt that great,flair was suffering from his knee and kennedy saw the knee as a bullseye and went to town on it,flair threw in some good moves after a while but this wasnt that hot overall but it was ok for what it was.
The world heavyweight title was up for grabs next and was hyped up to the heavens,after a decent match between rey mysterio and edge at royal rumble plenty was expected as they went toe to toe again.This match didnt deliver in truth,rey rey seemed to acquire an injury that limited his force and edge was in control for far too long,somewhat of a let down but a superb finish to a match that when you consider the hype and hysteria surrounding it collasped a little.
The WWE championship was up for grabs next as the champ randy orton went up against a man on a mission in john cena,the crowd were superb here really giving the match a high sense of quality and the wrestlers responded brilliantly to create a real firecracker of a contest,this was a brawl,a skilled match,the works dear readers,everything you could want,the ending may not please many but when the option is there to cheat then go for it,a great match,which leaves one final match,oh yes ,another elmination chamber,this time featuring the Raw superstars,the winner getting a chance at their title in wrestlemania 24.
This match featured chris jericho,shawn michaels,triple H,umaga,JBL and jeff hardy and what a match this was,we had a samoan drop performed on two wrestlers at the same time by umaga which was mighty,we had umaga experiencing 4 stars finisher move in sequence ,we had blood,we had sweat ,we had a frantic crowd and a superb winner,this match was blinding,it really was.
The dvd extras in events that arent the main four can still be a bit cheap and here is no exception,we get shawn michaels talking to flair after the event finished and thats all,yes thats all,but this is still a very good event that featured three titles,a career threatening match,no ladies match to grind us to sleep and two elimination chambers,even those who are greedy would have to say that this is superb,a great event.

Ric Flair vs Mr Kennedy- Career Threatening Match

* It was slow and below average, they tried there best but it just wasn't working for me

Edge vs Rey Mysterio- World Heavyweight Championship Match

** Well! Firstly the match itself wasn't very good and it was fairly short because rey injured himself yet again so i gave it 1 Star and the other star is for what happened after!
Big Show returned!! and cut one hell of a Segment and then attacked rey some more it was done brilliantly i thought

*** Good Title Match, bit of a slow start but then the middle and ending were good, the crowd were hot for this match

Raw Elimination Chamber Match
Triple H vs Jeff Hardy vs Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho vs JBL vs Umaga

**** A Very good Entertaining match, brilliant all the way though, The best match of the night in my opinion, Crowd were suprisingly behind hardy the most, a great ending to a good PPV


Well i thought this PPV was very good, the flair vs kennedy match i thought was the only dissapointment, the Title matches were good but the E C Matches stole the show in my opinion 8/10
