WWE No Way Out

Live from Pittsburg, Pennsylvania

Febuary 13, 2005

JBL vs. Big Show - Will be fighting for the WWE Championship, but they will do it in a Barbed Wire Steel Cage Match. Who will win Sunday and move onto Wrestlemania to defend against Batista?

John Cena vs. Booker T - With the WWE US Championship on the line we are in for a hell of a match up. These two are no strangers to each other and should put on another great performance.

Rene Dupree vs. Eddie Guerrero - These two will meet again at No Way Out, but time there are no count outs, no dq's, and it will be Falls Count Anywhere.

The FBI vs. The Basham Brothers - The FBI won a triple threat tag match to become the number one contenders. They couldn't do it with out the help from the newest member, Big Vito. What role will he play in this big WWE Tag Team Championship match.

Rey Mysterio vs. Chavo Guerrero - Chavo won his number contender match on Smackdown! Chavo certaintly had the momentum going into this match for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. Only because Rey might have other things on is mind, like Orlando Jordan.

Batista will also be in the house to witness who he will be facing at Wrestlemania.

Please post your predictions!

WWE Tag Team Championship

The FBI w/ Big Vito vs The Basham Brothers ©

The Bashams do a great job defending their titles. Keeping a freshman in and double teaming Nunzio in the corner. It looked as if Doug was going to pick up the win with a Superplex from the second rope on Nunzio. The ref counted to 2, but Stamboli pulled the referee out of the ring. Big Vito snuck into the ring and hit Doug with the Implant DDT. Vito then pulled Nunzio onto Doug and took Danny out with a big clothes line, over the top rope. The ref rolls in and counts the 3!! The FBI has won the WWE Tag Team titles. All three members of the FBI celebrate in the ring as The Bashams make their ways to the back.

Winners and new WWE Tag Team Champions: The FBI (Nunzio/Stamboli)

74, 65, 84

The WWE Tag Team title has lost image.

Their celebrating is cut short when the music of Rikishi hits. Rikishi walks out onto the stage and asks Vito why he can't stay out of other people's matches. Rikishi then challenges him to a match, now.

Rikishi vs Big Vito w/ FBI

The ref had to toss the FBI out of the ringside area do to some early on interference. Vito beat the big man down in the corner, but Rikishi turned him around. Rikishi hit him with a chop heard throughout the arena and Vito falls to his ass. Rikishi backs that ass up and gives the Stink Face to Vito. Vito came out of the corner swinging, but Rikishi ducked and took him out with a big Samoan Drop. He only gets a three count, though. Rikishi then picks him up and finishes him off with the Rikishi Driver, for the victory. Vito rolls out of the ring and Rikishi begins to celebrate his win. Vito grabs a chair and slides into the ring. Vito assaults Rikishi with the chair and leaves, damage done.

Winner: Rikishi

WWE Cruiserweight Championship

Chavo Guerrero vs Rey Mysterio ©

Fantastic match by these two veteran cruiserweights. Back and forth action through out the match. Rey was about to pick up the win after hitting Chavo with the 6-1-9. Orlando Jordan ran out to the ring and dropped Rey neck first on the top rope. Chavo took the advantage and picked up the victory with the Brain Buster. Chavo grabs the title and hightails it out of there. Jordan taunts Rey from ringside and eventually makes his way to the back.

The WWE Cruiserweight title has gained in image.

Batista is in the back talking to some random people, when the Big Show walks up to him. Show asks him what exactly he is doing here and if it has to do with costing him his WWE Championship? Because if it was the reason, it would be the last thing he would ever do. Batista gets right up in the Big Shows face, un-intimidated, and tells him that it doesn't matter who he faces at Wrestlemania XXI. Either way he is walking out the WWE Champion. Big Show nods his head, says alright, but he will be watching him.

73

We come back to a replay from Smackdown! of Rene Dupree letting his dog piss on Eddie's car. Then it cut to their match and Dupree getting the hell beat out of him.

Falls Count Anywhere

Rene Dupree vs Eddie Guerrero

Eddie took it to Dupree the whole match, beating up and down the arena. Dupree finally took a little advantage, by throwing some kind of powder in the eyes of Guerrero. Dupree then hit him with the Dupree Driver on the steel entrance way. Eddie kicked out and began to fight back. Eddie caught Dupree with a stiff inzeguri and Dupree got knocked to the floor. Eddie climbed up onto the special No Way Out entrance and came off with a huge Frog Splash. He connects and the ref counts the pinfall. Eddie makes his way back to the ring to celebrate and exits through the crowd, after this brutal match.

Winner: Eddie Guerrero

Kurt Angle is the back now with Josh Mathews. Angles begins some kind of rant about not even being on the No Way Out card!

WWE Championship/Barbed Wire Steel Cage

Big Show vs John Bradshaw Layfield ©

Absolute brutal match with these two going at it. Big Show tosses JBL all over the ring and back. JBL is now busted open and then hits Big Show with the Clothes line from Hell!! JBL makes the cover, but Big Show kicked out. JBL began to climb the cage and escape, even through the barbedwire. With out warning Jindrak & Reigns run down to the ring and begin to climb one wall of the cage. They pull out wire cutters and begin to cut the barbed wire off. Show climbs to the top and literally choke slams Reigns off the top of the cage through the announce table. Big Show now focuses on JBL and hits him with the Show Stopper. Kurt Angle comes running down to the ring and climbs up the fence. Angle climbes right over where his cronies cut the barbed wire off. Angle comes up behind Show and hit him with the Angle Slam!! JBL makes the cover and retains the WWE Championship. Kurt Angle now calls his boys in and Jindrak brings the barbed wire he cut into the ring. Angle tells then to finish him off and they hit the Big Show with a huge Spike Powerbomb, onto the barbed wire. The three stand in the ring and taunt until the show goes off air.

Winner and still WWE Champion: JBL

73,80,57

Big Show didn't really sell very much, which hurt the match rating. The WWE Heavyweight title has lost image.

Overall Rating: 78

We got a 1.58 buy rate for 'No Way Out'!

The attendance was 17333 people.

We made $3950000 from pay-per-view revenue.

We made $1039980 from ticket sales.

After the PPV was over I wanted to talk to a couple of superstars about their performances tonight. First I called Big Show into my office. I told him that if he doesn't start selling his moves and get more into the matches then I would have to release him. I told him he has until after Wrestlemania to prove me otherwise. I decided to book him against Kurt Angle at Wrestlemania.

The next person I called into my office was Rene Dupree. I basically told him that he does have enough skill and charisma to be in the WWE, but I was dropping him down the card. Until, he can improve in some areas he will be a midcarder.

Big Vito was next... I told him he did a wonderful job tonight in his match with Rikishi. I told him that he should be receiving a bit of a push in the next coming weeks. I was unsure whether or not he would be at Wrestlamia or not, but he might have a tag title shot in the future.

Well that is my first PPV. Tell me what you think?
