Bourne winning made sense, and like I've said, he makes a good TV Title contender. Wonder what you will do with Burke/Hardy and a "fight". SCS winning is ok, although there still isn't much for them to do on ECW really. Swagger winning is good, and Swagger/Bourne sounds great. Now I see why you announced Hardy/Burke ahead of time, so Swagger/Bourne could be on PPV. Decent closing to the show to build to NWO.

Finally I get a chance to reply. The whole month of shows has been quite good and No Way Out looks great. Not a fan of Cody Rhodes being in the Elimination Chamber but I can look past it.
Ill comment on ECW for now. Opening match was alright. Glad Bourne win but no Shooting Star Press? I hope Bourne becomes the TV Champion he is perfect to hold the belt.
The tag match was a good squash. The Second City Saints are looking good maybe they can get a Tag Title shot sometime soon.
Sucks Finlay lost but understandable. I still dont see the big deal about Swagger so I hope you have Bourne get the win. I dont think it would hurt Swagger at all and could start a nice back and forth feud between the two.
Final segment was quite good. Nice brawl between Burke & Hardy. If Edge interfered i think Jeff or someone should have come out but fail at helping Matt. Also Burke should have smashed the ECW Title over Matt's skull to end it. But it was still a good segment that got the point across. Hopefully Burke can win the belt sometime on ECW or at Wrestlemania.
Overall it as an alright show and everything is being booked nicely to hype up No Way Out. Look forward to Smackdown and cant wait for No Way Out.

Suppose it was a decent way to kick off ECW on Sci-Fi this week with a semi-final match in the ECW World Television Championship tournament, Evan Bourne beating DJ Gabriel is fantastic, I find Gabriel quite green but this was decent. Hoping for Bourne to win this thing, or lose in the finals. Either way its good. Hmm, a working agreement with ECW and FCW would be good, decent tag team contest to get the Second City Saints over even more. I'm unsure about how they'd be called that in WWE, however. Seemed like a fantastic second semi-final in the ECW World Television Championship Tournament, Jack Swagger beating Finlay is great as should the finals be at...WWE No Way Out, is it? Great, Kevin Thorn's returning. Nice finish to the show with the 'fist fight'.

- Pretty much expected Bourne to defeat Gabriel. I hope you change Gabriel gimmick down the road. - Please keep Henry out of the title picture. He is has been in the title picture for far too long. - Like seeing Goldman and Steel as a tag team. Goldman push, please? - Suppose Swagger needed to pick up a win here. - Liked the last segment of the show. A brawl to end the show is something I haven’t seen often but was pretty good. - Don’t know about Edge arriving and attacking Hardy. I don’t see Edge going to really the third brand to do that. - Overall, I’m liking the young talent and some guys that aren’t with ECW (Steel/Goldman). Push Burke and Goldman and you’ll have a happy reader.

Bourne getting in the tourney is great. Man this tournament seems to be lasting forever lol. Swagger/Finlay looked really solid and putting Swagger over more is a good thing. Ending to ECW was really good and different. Loving the build up you're putting in Hardy/Burke, should be a great tag match at NWO and still don't know who you will book to win it. Should be very interesting.

February 13th, 2009 Taco Bell Arena in Boise, Idaho
Smackdown! opens with a video package showing Edge & Elijah Burke beating The Hardy Boyz last week, and Edge’s attack on Matt Hardy this past week on ECW. It’s then cut short by a video of The Undertaker getting attacked again last week and being left bloodied.
Tazz & Jim Ross welcome us to Idaho. They hype tonight’s main event of WWE Champion Jeff Hardy taking on Elijah Burke, as he tries to get some retribution for Burke hitting him with a chair last week. They also announce that we will see two diva matches and a whole lot more.
We are greeted this week by the music of “The Game” Triple H. He comes out, sledgehammer in hand and gets on the microphone. He talked about how last week; he was barred from ringside during Umaga’s match, but Umaga’s not barred from ringside during his match tonight. He says that he hopes Umaga tries to interfere because he’ll have a good friend with him and he looks at his sledgehammer. He finishes off the promo by talking passionately about how he hasn’t forgotten the WWE Title, but right now his focus is on taking out Umaga and hurting him.
Once Triple H’s promo finishes, we see Vickie and Shane’s office. Chavo’s inside with Vickie and he wants to know why he has to fight Triple H tonight, when Triple H is that mad. Vickie says that he must do it to prove that he belongs as he’s been the butt of jokes around here lately and that he’s tarnishing the Guerrero name. He doesn’t look very confident as she says that.
Commercial Break.
Divas Match Maria vs. Michelle McCool
This was your typical Divas match. Before the match, McCool announced that next week on Smackdown, she would get her rematch at the Divas Title when she faces Natalya. Onto this match, McCool controlled it, as she is the better wrestler. Maria fought back and hit her handstand kick, and then hit the Bronco Buster in the corner. McCool once again took the upper hand and went for the Wings of Love, but Maria got out of it and rolled her up for the surprise victory.
Winner: Maria (5:03) *½
After the match, McCool was shocked and upset, but both girls hugged and McCool raised Maria’s arm in victory.
We cut backstage, where Carlito and Primo are talking with the Bella Twins. The girls have a match tonight, but the Colons don’t. Carlito said that it isn’t cool that they have to always watch their backs after getting attacked two weeks ago by the New Hart Foundation and the Edgeheads. Primo said that those teams need to watch out and they’ll start tonight by doing commentary during Hawkins & Ryder’s match later tonight.
Commercial Break.
Tag Team Match Hurricane Helms & Mr. Kennedy vs. United States Champion Shelton Benjamin and The Brian Kendrick w/ Ezekiel Jackson
Despite going against each other last week, Kennedy and Helms teamed up here. They didn’t work very well together as Kennedy was showing real heel tendencies. He was tagging Helms on his back when Helms was in control of the match and things like that. Anyway, Kendrick and Benjamin began to dominate the match as they worked on Helms for a while. Helms went to make the hot tag, but Kennedy dropped down off the apron and walked away. Helms turned around into a Paydirt and the match was over.
Winners: The Brian Kendrick & “The Gold Standard” Shelton Benjamin (8:49) **¾
We now see The New Hart Foundation talking backstage. They tell Natalya that they are so proud that she won gold and that they’re going to do the same once they get their shot at Carlito & Primo. They then say that they’re going to watch the Edgeheads in action tonight, just like Carlito & Primo.
Commercial Break.
Singles Match Chavo Guerrero vs. Triple H
Chavo looked very reluctant throughout the match to get involved with Triple H. HHH dominated the whole match basically by hitting Chavo with a running knee strike, an atomic drop and some stuff shots in the corner. Chavo finally got a little offense when raked HHH in the eyes. He hit the Three Amigos and went to the top for the Frog Splash but Triple H slammed him off the top. He picked him up and dropped him with the Pedigree to end it.
Winner: Triple H (6:00) **
Once the match finished, Umaga made his way to the ring. Triple H was ready and met him halfway with his sledgehammer. He swung but Umaga backed away and then went on the attack. He began to beat on Triple H and ended the beating by hitting him in the stomach with the sledgehammer.
Commercial Break.
We come back to see the Hardy Boyz talking backstage. Matt is reminding Jeff of Elijah Burke hitting him with a chair last week and then reminds him that on the last ECW, Burke and Edge jumped him. Jeff says that he remembers all of this and he’s going to make sure that Burke pays, and he knows just what to do to make sure of it.
Tag Team Match Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder vs. Jesse & Festus
This was your basic tag team match, while the WWE Tag Team Champions provided commentary and the New Hart Foundation watched from the ramp. Hawkins and Ryder looked very good in this one, as they dominated Jesse and weathered Festus’ storm of offense. The finish came when they nailed a double Edgecution on Jesse.
Winners: Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder (5:13) *¾
The Edgeheads stared down the WWE Tag Champs and The New Hart Foundation as we cut to commercial.
Commercial Break.
We come back to see Jeff Hardy enter Shane & Vickie’s office. He asks Shane to make his match with Burke a no DQ match. Vickie says no way, but Shane says that it sounds like a great idea. Jeff thanks him and leaves.
Six Divas Tag Match Gail Kim and The Bella Twins vs. Divas Champion Natalya, Victoria & Maryse
This was a very good six woman tag match. The Bella Twins had their best match, in ring, since their debut. Natalya began to dominate them after a while and she showed why she’s the Divas Champion. Victoria proved that she still has it as she went toe-to-toe with Gail Kim again. The finish of this one came when Nikki Bella was working over Maryse and Maryse managed to escape and tag in Natalya. Natalya just dominated her and trapped her in the Sharpshooter. Victoria and Maryse held off Brie and Gail and Nikki was forced to tap out.
Winners: Divas Champion Natalya, Victoria & Maryse (6:24) **¼
Commercial Break.
We come back and once again see the video package announcing that “Stone Cold” Steve Austin will be the first inductee to the 2009 Hall of Fame class.
We then cut to a video hyping up the return of MVP at No Way Out. (Not my video, found it on youtube.com, so credit to whoever made it.)
Commercial Break.
Non-Title No DQ Match Elijah Burke vs. WWE Champion Jeff Hardy
This turned out to be just like Burke and Matt’s fight on ECW. These two just went at each other with lefts and rights. Burke took the advantage when he hit Jeff with a low blow. They continued to brawl to the outside where Burke choked Jeff with the cables outside and Jeff ended up hitting Whisper in the Wind off the guardrail. Jeff then placed Burke on the announce table and climbed to the top rope to the crowd’s liking but Edge ran down and knocked him off the top rope. Edge and Elijah jumped Jeff until Matt ran down and got involved. These four started brawling and we quickly cut backstage where Vickie Guerrero orders Umaga to get out there. This leads to him coming to the ring to join in, which brings out Triple H.
No Contest (9:15) ***
All six men continue to brawl as Smackdown goes off the air, giving us a preview of No Way Out’s big eight man tag match.

I like the intensity how HHH wants to hurt Umaga. Ok divas opener, although it didn't accomplish much. Glad TBK & Shelton won their match. I like that HHH won, but then Umaga got the upper hand in the brawl after the match. Tag match was meh. Like the idea of doing a No DQ match, guarentees a winner. Surprised to see another divas match, but glad the heels won. Surprised nobody won the main event, since I think someone should if it's a No DQ match. But good brawl to the end the show. NWO should be really good.

February 15th, 2009 Key Arena in Seattle, Washington Attendance: 17,459
No Way Out opens with a video package showcasing highlights of the six superstars in tonight’s Elimination Chamber main event. It also shows what’s gone down between the eight men in tonight’s other main event, a huge eight man tag match.
Each of the three announce teams welcome us to No Way Out in Seattle. We go to Todd Grisham and Matt Striker as the opening contest is an ECW match.TV Title Tournament Finals: Evan Bourne vs. Jack SwaggerSwagger came out first to mostly boos although he got some cheers mixed in there. Bourne came out to a big pop as the crowd was very much behind him. Bourne started the match on fire as he hit a flying head scissors right off the bat and followed that up with a few arm drags. Swagger fought back with a running knee lift and then took down Bourne. He began to work on the mat, where he was easily outworking Bourne. Bourne managed to get up off the mat and nail Swagger with a dropkick that sent him to the outside. Bourne really got the crowd going when he nailed a suicide dive to the ouside. They fought back into the ring for a few until Bourne went for his Cannonball leg drop, but Swagger moved. Swagger picked himup and went for the gutwrench powerbomb, but Bourne did a hurricanrana to get out of it. He then hit his standing moonsault and went to the top where he ended it with his gorgeous Shooting Star Press. Winner and NEW Television Champion: Evan Bourne (10:14) ***¾Todd Grisham and Matt Striker put over the excellent match we just saw. They ask where will Swagger go now that his undefeated streak is over. Bourne celebrates with the TV Title to a very good reaction from the crowd. Jack Swagger looks to be shocked and seemed a little confused as we cut to the back.
Legacy is shown backstage and Randy Orton seems to be giving them a pep talk. He tells Manu and Cody Rhodes that even though he didn’t want them at ringside last Monday, they came out and helped him take care of Cena, Michaels and Batista. They proved that they belonged with the top guns on Raw. Orton says that tonight’s goal is to make sure he makes it WrestleMania as the number one contender. Cody asks, “what about me?” Orton reminds Cody that he is the Prince of Pro Wrestling and his time will come. But right now, the time is for the Age of Orton to be re-born. Rhodes doesn’t look too convinced but he agrees.Mike Knox vs. Rey MysterioMike Knox came out first and got booed, but it seemed like the majority of the crowd just didn’t really care for him. Mysterio got a really good reaction and the match was underway. Knox took the upper hand by attacking Mysterio once the match started. He clubbed him in the back multiple times and then body slammed him. Knox got down and choked Mysterio for a few seconds. For the majority of this match, Knox used power moves such as a shoulder block and a spinebuster but was very sluggish. The crowd rallied Mysterio, who began to take over when he hit a corss body. He waited for Knox to get up and hit a sunset flip, but only got a two count. He went for the 619 but Knox moved out of the way and back to the middle of the ring. He wasn’t expecting Mysterio to springboard to him and hit the West Coast Pop for another two count. Mysterio put an end to this one when he finally hit a hurricanrana and Knox landed in 619 position. Mysterio nailed it, and then his springboard splash for the win. Winner by pin: Rey Mysterio (7:45) * Rey Mysterio was very relieved to finally rid himself of the monster that is Mike Knox. We are now shown the video package announcing that “Stone Cold” Steve Austin is going to the 2009 Hall of Fame the night before WrestleMania 25. We are then informed that the WWE will announce a new inductee to the Class of ’09 Hall of Fame tomorrow night on Raw.Women’s Championship: Melina (c) vs. Beth Phoenix w/Santino MarellaBeth and Santino came out first to a mixed reaction. Melina was next and she got a major pop like she always does. Beth controlled the early portion of this one as she used a few different suplexes including a gutwrench and her old finisher, a cradle suplex but Melina kicked out. Beth continued to hold the advantage as she used a weardown hold. Melina fought out of it and hit a DDT and got a near fall. She ran off the ropes and got tripped by Santino, who turned around and celebrated what he accomplished. Melina get on the apron, jumped off and hit Santino with a hurricanrana. Out walked the Divas Champion, Natalya, to get a closer look at the match. Melina didn’t like this as she began to argue with her on the outside. Melina got mad and pushed Natalya to the ground. She got back in the ring and set up Beth for her finisher but Natalya got on the apron to distract the referee. Melina went to hit her off but Natalya jumped down. Melina turned around and got nailed by Beth, who ended up hitting her with the Glam Slam for the win. Winner and NEW Women’s Champion: Beth Phoenix (6:08) **Beth Phoenix and Santino celebrated with the title while Natalya looked on. Beth looked a little confused as to why Natalya would help her but continued to celebrate as Natalya walked up the entryway.
We now see JBL and Shawn Michaels backstage. JBL tells him that he messed up at the Royal Rumble by not helping him win the World Title but tonight, Michaels has a chance at redemption and a big paycheck if he can help lead JBL to victory tonight. He can assure that JBL will get a World Title shot in his homestate of Texas. Michaels says that he is Mr. WrestleMania and ‘Mania is also in his homestate. JBL tells him to make sure he knows where his allegiances stand and he leaves.World Tag Team Championship: John Morrison and The Miz (c) vs. The Technicians w/ Kelly KellyThe Technicians made their way to the ring first and the crowd was behind them and gave them a nice ovation, mostly because of Kelly Kelly. The champs followed to a mixed reaction. This turned out to be one of the better tag team matches lately. Both teams got in some good offense and the champs used great strategy. They basically cut the ring in a quarter, not half, as they dominated Noble. They hit some double team moves and controlled the match, until Noble reversed a DDT from the Miz into a Northern lights suplex. He crawled over and made the hot tag to Charlie Haas who nailed a belly-to-belly suplex and a German suplex. Haas had the upper hand for a few until he locked Morrison in the Haas of Pain. Miz came in and broke it up, and Haas tagged in Noble. Haas went after Miz, while Noble locked in his Modified Figure Four. Haas chased Miz on the outside until Miz snuck in and again broke up the submission and ran back outside to be chased. Noble went to pick up Morrison, who wrapped him up in a small package for the victory. Winners and Still World Tag Team Champions: John Morrison & The Miz (10:21) ***¼Miz and Morrison celebrate their win as Noble, Haas and Kelly Kelly look on in disbelief. Noble seems very frustrated at how he lost.
We now cut to a video package showing The Undertaker getting attacked at various times in the recent past. From the first time it happened when he went one-on-one with Shelton Benjamin, to when it happened at the Royal Rumble, to when the druid first came out to finally two weeks ago when he was left bloodied and battered.A single gong is heard in the arena as “The Phenom” The Undertaker makes his way to the ring to the loudest ovation of the night. He takes forever getting to the ring as usual and finally, gets on the microphone. He cuts a very old school promo about the recent attacks he’s suffered and basically called out whoever’s behind it.The whole arena is surprised when the theme music of Montel Vontavious Porter hits. He comes out dressed in his normal gear, but it’s now white with red and he’s gotten back into great shape in the last three weeks. He gets into the ring and on the microphone. Right off the bat, he says that no, he is not the man behind all these recent Undertaker attacks. Undertaker looks pissed that MVP is interrupting his time to call out his attacker. MVP says that tonight is special because it’s his return and the Undertaker is wasting valuable time that could be used on the WWE’s MVP. MVP says that after his fantastic showing in the 2009 Royal Rumble, he knows that ’09 is his year and he plans to break his losing streak. And he plans to break it tonight against the Undertaker. ‘Taker realizes that his attacker is basically not going to to show his face and he’s already pissed at MVP, so he accepts.Montel Vontavious Porter vs. The UndertakerThis turned out to be the show stealer as both men put on an instant classic. MVP looked really good in the ring in the early goings. He wore down ‘Taker with some rest holds and then hit him with a knee to the face. After a few minutes of MVP on the offensive, he put ‘Taker in the corner and went for the Player’s Boot but ‘Taker moved and began to deliver soupbones in the corner. He hit a running clothesline in the corner, then ran off the ropes and delivered a big boot to MVP but only got a two count. ‘Taker then hit Old School and followed up with a sidewalk slam. MVP kicked out of a pinfall attempt from ‘Taker and nailed his Playmaker out of nowhere but somehow ‘Taker kicked out of it. MVP went for his ‘Ballin elbow drop but ‘Taker sat up, which made MVP kick him and then drop the elbow for another two count. MVP set up for the Drive-By but ‘Taker moved out of the way and hit him with a Chokeslam. ‘Taker went for the cover but MVP wrapped him a small package and ‘Taker kicked out. MVP quickly got up and nailed him with the Drive-By. Instead of going for the pin he waited for ‘Taker to try and get up and nailed him with another Drive-By. Finally, he hit a third Drive-By and covered to put away the Deadman. Winner by pin: Montel Vontavious Porter (17:26) ****½MVP celebrated up the ramp as he cleanly defeated The Undertaker to finally end his losing streak. Undertaker got up just as MVP hit the top of the ramp and MVP saw ‘Taker staring at him. ‘Taker had sort of a look on his face that said “good job” as he seemed to appreciate the effort put on by MVP. ‘Taker went to leave the ring when the lights went out again. As they came back on the crowd was in shock as Kane and Paul Bearer were standing in the ring behind The Undertaker. Kane was sporting his mask, and the outfit he wore in 2001. He also looked to be back in great shape. Undertaker turned around and looked shocked as Kane hit him a few times and ended up dropping him with a Tombstone.
We cut backstage where Shane McMahon and Vickie Guerrero both look shocked at what they just witnessed. Vickie assures Shane that she had nothing to do with this and he says that he believes her because not even she can bring out evil like that. Edge walks into the office, and says that he promises to start his path to the WWE Title tonight, when he pins Jeff Hardy in the middle of the ring.United States Championship: Shelton Benjamin (c) vs. Hurricane HelmsHurricane Helms came to the ring first to a very good reaction from the crowd, his best reaction since his return. The champion came out to mostly boos but a few cheers were thrown in there. This one started out with some mat work, where Helms surprisingly stayed pretty close to Benjamin. Helms began to use his high flying aresenal to take the advantage as he hit a flying crossbody and only got a two count. Benjamin took control after hitting his cobra clutch backbreaker and then a Samoan drop. Shelton stayed in the driver’s seat by wearing down Helms with some rest holds. After a little while of that, Helms took back the offensive and he hit the Eye of the Hurricane out of nowhere but Shelton kicked out. Everybody thought that would turn the tide of the match but Benjamin hit a turnbuckle powerbomb and a superkick once Helms bounced off the turnbuckle. He covered, only to have Helms get his foot on the bottom rope. Benjamin picked him up and went for the Exploder but Helms blocked it with some elbows and hit a superkick. Shelton dropped to his knees and Helms nailed him with the Shining Wizard to end it. Winner and NEW United States Champion: Hurricane Helms (14:23) ***Helms celebrated his victory and hugged his brand new title close to his chest as we cut to the back. There we see Evan Bourne getting congratulated on his TV Title win by the Second City Saints, Kofi Kingston, CM Punk and Finlay. Jack Swagger walks up to Bourne and says that it isn’t over between them and he walks away again. Punk tells Bourne not to worry about that as he leaves to the arena.
We then see a video package showing everything that has built up to the upcoming eight man tag match.Eight Man Tag: Triple H, Intercontinental Champion CM Punk, ECW Champion Matt Hardy & WWE Champion Jeff Hardy vs. Paul Burchill, Elijah Burke, Edge & UmagaThe heels made their way to the ring first and each of them got booed, with only Edge receiving a lot of cheers. Triple H and Punk were next as both got loud ovations. The Hardyz entered last, together, getting a huge pop. The match began with Edge and Punk going at it. They seemed to have really good chemistry as they worked great together and really got the crowd even more into the match than they already were. Both teams tagged in and out for the next ten or so minutes, with the heels having the upper hand as each man hit a signature move. At about the fifteen minute mark, it was Burke and Matt in the ring, giving us a WrestleMania preview. Matt ducked a punch from Burke and nailed the Side Effect. He made the tag to Triple H, while Burke tagged Umaga. As usual, these two just went at it full throttle. They brawled and Burke tagged Umaga blindly on the back and began to double team HHH. HHH caught Burke in a spinebuster and made the hot tag to Jeff who came in roaring and hit an enziguri. Burchill attempted to jump in but Punk caught him and began to nail him with stiff kicks in the corner. Edge tried to sneak in and stopped Jeff’s momentum with a Spear. Edge celebrated what he did until Matt ran in and tackled him to the outside. Burke put his arm over Jeff for the pin, but Jeff kicked out at the last second. Burke got up and went for the Elijah Express, but Jeff hit him with the Whisper in the Winds as he ran at him. Punk nailed a stiff knee to Burchill’s face, then picked up Burke and hit the Go 2 Sleep. Jeff climbed to the top and hit the Swanton for the win. Winners by pin: CM Punk, Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy & Triple H (19:03) ***½As Punk and the Hardyz celebrated their win, Triple H and Umaga kept brawling on the outside. They fought on the announce table back and forth until Umaga basically tackled HHH from the table they were on, onto and through the nearest table. The cameras show both men knocked out as we cut to the video package highlighting the events leading up to the Elimination Chamber.Elimination Chamber: JBL vs. Cody Rhodes w/Manu vs. Batista vs. Randy Orton vs. Chris Jericho vs. Shawn MichaelsThe first four competitors to enter the ring got into their glass cases. Shawn Michaels made his way to the ring next to a huge ovation and he was followed by Randy Orton who got a mixed reaction but mostly cheers. These two started it out and got the crowd pumped. They started out with some mat work but worked into some regular offense. Michaels hit a swinging neckbreaker and Orton retaliated by nailing the hanging neckbreaker that he used against Chris Benoit at SummerSlam ’04. Five minutes in, the buzzer goes off and in comes Cody Rhodes. This meant bad things for HBK as Legacy began to double team him. Rhdoes hit a Russian leg sweep and his father’s elbow drop. He helped Orton set up HBK for the DDT from the second rope, but HBK kicked out. Five more minutes in and Chris Jericho made his way into the match. Jericho formed an alliance with Rhodes and Orton and they continued the beating on HBK. Jericho hit a double underhook backbreaker and then hit the Codebreaker but somehow Michaels kicked out. Orton was setting up for the Punt, as JBL entered as the next man in. He ran in and stopped Orton from doing the Punt. He argued with Legacy until Michaels got up, then JBL turned around and nailed him with the Clothesline from Hell to eliminated him. (Shawn Michaels: 15:17) Orton and Rhodes went straight after Jericho while JBL taunted the crowd for about a minute and a half. Shawn Michaels got up and realized what just happened and he turned JBL around and dropped him with Sweet Chin Music to the crowd’s liking. Orton noticed this and ran and quickly covered JBL to eliminate him. (JBL: 17:01) Legacy jumped Jericho until Batista joined in the match as the last entrant and cleaned house. He got the crowd really going and after a few minutes he hit Orton with the spinebuster. He covered but Rhodes broke up the pin attempt. This really angered Batista who caught Rhodes and nailed him with a Batista Bomb to get rid of him. (Cody Rhodes: 25:25) Jericho began to fight with Batista in the corner for a few minutes. Orton was sitting in the corner resting. The officials opened the Chamber to help Rhodes out but Manu laid out the referees with a chair. He handed another chair to Rhodes and they entered the ring. Manu nailed Batista in the back with the chair and Rhodes followed suit. They beat down on Batista and Jericho went to join them, but Legacy laid him out as well. Orton ran by and punted Batista in the head and covered him for the elimination. (Batista: 32:56) Orton then ran and did the same to Jericho for the win. (Chris Jericho: 33:11)Winner: Randy Orton (33:11) ****Randy Orton celebrated in the ring with Legacy and pointed to the WrestleMania 25 logo at the top of the arena and motioned that he was coming for the gold.© WWE 2009 [/center]

NWO was really detailed. I liked the graphics as well, simple but I liked them. Bourne/Swagger opening up the PPV to crown a new champ is excellent. Kinda superised Bourne won. Was pushing for Swagger tbh but either would be good. Mysterio/Knox was meh. MVP vs. Taker..cool. Looked like a really good match and I'm soo glad MVP won. MVP looked really good in the match and I hope he gets a really good push going for him. very underused in the 'E currently. Helms/Shelton looked fantastic, and Helms winning the belt is ok. Chamber looked pretty good. Lots of nice spots it looks like, glad Orton won it. Kinda didn't like how you ended the match with the two Orton punts but either way glad Orton won. Was a very good PPV and now the build up to Mania should be great.

Good match to kick off the show. Mixed on Bourne winning, but he should make for a good first (for this era) TV champ. Rey winning made sense, and I see him being a MITB participant at Mania. Saw Beth winning, wonder what you will have in store for Wrestlemania with the divas. Maybe something involving Trish? Glad Miz & Morrison retained as I can't see Technicians holding the belts. I could maybe see Kelly eventually joining M & M. I like MVP coming out and wanting Taker. However, I wasn't a fan at all of MVP winning, and winning pretty clean. But I do like the idea of another Taker/Kane/Bearer feud. Not digging Helms winning unless it means Shelton advances in the card, and I think that is where you are going. Faces winning made sense as they usually do in big tag matches like this. Nice idea in the Chamber with the double punt to both men. Overall it was a good show. It wasn't spectacular like I think Mania will be, but it served as a nice transition show between Rumble and Mania.

Alrighty, first off, do you make your own graphics? Because you have some talent man. Good way to kick off the show with Bourne/Swagger, surprised this match got that good of a rating, since I wouldn't think these guys would blend. Happy to see Bourne getting the strap and hopefully a feud with Swagger soon! Ouch to Knox/Mysterio only getting a star, but I really wasn't expecting anything. Good to see Rey defeat the Baboon that is Mike Knox. Wonder who you'll pick next for the hall, will be interesting! Oh, good Divas twist there. Melina now has her sights set on both belts and yay for Beth reigns! Ugh, thank god Mizorrison retained, as the team of Charlie Haas/Jamie Noble just makes me cringe. Ah, looked like a good match though, good booking I assume. AWESOME! MVP winning cleanly over 'Taker gives him SO much momentum its not funny. Good way to tease the attacker too and I would've pissed myself if it was MVP. Great segment, my favorite thus far kev. HOLY KANE & BEARER BACK FROM THE DEAD BATMAN! I'm guessing Kane/'Taker at Mania. Hooray for Helms US title win, about time Benjamin dropped the belt, its been wasted on him. Good booking again here and look at that rating, good job. Good to see the face teaming winning the 8 man tag, I especially liked how the GTS/Swanton Combo put Burke away. Oh boo, Maga/Triple H at Mania? I'll take it I guess. And a great way to end the event, with two ing punts. AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME! I hope Orton takes the belt home man, AWESOME event. Great effort and detail man, great job!

- NO WAAAAAY OUT!
- I'm real glad that you decided to put the TV Championship on Evan Bourne, he's a perfect fit for it. As for Swagger, I can see him going far in ECW. He has potenial.
- Mysterio winning over Knox was predictable but I was in a way hoping for Knox to become the victor! Haha, Beards Rocks!
- Loved Beth Phoenix winning, especially with Natalya getting involved. But I found it hilarious that Santino got knocked out with a Hurricanarana.
- The Duo of Noble and Haas is still a weird combo, but if it's bringin back Serious Haas instead of a Comedy Act, I'm all for it. I'm glad that you kept the belts on Morrison & Miz. It woulda been way too premature for Noble/Haas to capture the titles.
- Whoa! MVP! I didn't expect that at all. I like how you're pushing the angle further more, by saying that MVP isn't the one behind these attacks. But I'm surprised that MVP got the victory over the Undertaker, def. a big shocker.
- OLD SCHOOL KANE! OLD SCHOOL KANE! Wrestlemania Match once again?
- Wow, No Way Out is gettin' a lot of new Champions, especially before Wrestlemania! <3 Helms for capturin the US Championship.
- Big Tag Match right there, it sounds like an exciting match, especially the finish. Glad that Jeff was the one who got the pinfall for the team.
- I felt bad for HBK once Legacy formed, then when Jericho got involved, then I thought wait a second, JBL?! Oh what a twist, Hah. Felt bad for HBK right there but I'm glad that he got some revenge though. The finish was pretty exciting actually, very Orton-like, slithering like a snake to the end. Orton will face who at Wrestlemania? I wonder who.
Great No Way Out.

- Bourne winning the TV belt is a great way to open up the show. He is a awesome wrestler to have a title and I can expect some damn good matches with various guys on ECW. - Good to see Rey winning. Knox has never done anything for me. - Melina losing the title by being distracted is actually a good way. Phoenix though is a dominate female wrestler. I think she is the better of the two, personally. - I like the tag team of Noble/Haas. Also, really like how they didn’t win the title. Make them chase the champs for a little while before finally getting the win. - I think its great that Taker returns and LOSES to a guy like MVP. That makes MVP as a reliable heel. That is simply awesome. - Not sure about putting the mask on Kane again and having him go back to his 2001 version. - Helms as the US champion is excellent. I could see him and Benjamin really delivering some damn good matches on PPV. Just like this one. - Kind of surprise to see Burke eat the pin. Would have expected Burchill to lose the match. The baby faces were just too damn strong to lose this match, realistically. - Rhodes having a good showing in the chamber match was nice to see. Orton retaining makes sense. - A great detailed PPV. Great job.

Bourne/Swagger was the perfect way to kick the show off. Bourne winning is great, but Imwould have been happy if Swagger had won. The Miz and John Morrison retaining was expected, althoughba title run for The Technicians would be awesome. MVP vs. The Undertaker sounded great. Shocked that MVP won, but I can't say I am annoyed at that. Helms/Shelton was another solid match, mang. Nice to see Helms getting the strap, and the ending tobthe Elimination Chamber was simply epic.

Nice NWO. Liked the oppening match with Bourne winning. I hope you continue pushing him. Didnt really care about the tag match but glad you put Miz and Morrison over. Not a fan of Melina losing the belt but good match. Liked the Undertaker promo the MVP match and the Kane attacking. Seemed to be pretty good. The 8 Man tag match was very good and well written. Glad the faces went over. Nice Elimination Chamber. Was very happy to see Orton win but I was pulling for Punk. Good show though. Reply to WWE 2005? (Raw since you missed it )

-The WWE is very pleased with the way No Way Out went down. They sold out the Key Arena and the show itself was very well recieved. -There was one low point for No Way Out and it was the Mike Knox/Rey Mysterio match. As we've stated before, Knox was told to step up his game during this program or else. Well, he didn't step up his game so expect a major de-push in coming weeks. -Expect a huge surprise to kick off Raw this week and a major announcment to be made regarding the World Title match at WrestleMania 25. -Expect a bigger ensemble cast at the top of the Smackdown! main event picture as both MVP and Shelton Benjamin are expected to get pushes. They will join Jeff Hardy, Edge, Umaga, Triple H, Kane and The Undertaker at the top of Smackdown!
