WWE No Way Out 2006 (2006)

Good movie but grossly overrated

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

January 2006 was a terrible month for WWE Pay-Per-Views. Both New Years Revolution and the Royal Rumble just plain stunk. WWE needed a strong showing on the road to WrestleMania 22. No Way Out 2006 was just that. The main event of the evening pitting reigning World Heavyweight Champion Kurt Angle against the WWE's resident phenomenon The Undertaker was a spectacular match and early candidate for match of the year honours. These two men proved that even six years after they first hooked it up on a live event they still have what it takes to tear the house down.The second half of the main event's of the night was Rey Mysterio defending Eddie Guerrero's honour and his WrestleMania Championship opportunity against the cocky and arrogant Randy Orton. This match was good too. It was probably no surprise to a great deal of people that Orton picked up the win but only after using the ropes to his advantage.The rest of the undercard was entertaining too. Chris Benoit finally took the United States Championship from Booker T in a fine wrestling match. John Bradshaw Layfield rebounded from his defeat at the Royal Rumble from the useless Boogeyman by bringing an end to Bobby Lashleys undefeated streak. All be it with a little help from that nasty Irishman Finlay.Anyone hoping for a Hardy Boys reunion in the tag team match were disappointed to find Matt Hardy's mystery opponent was only Tatanka. Geeze, send this guy back to the early 90's where he belongs. MNM once again showed why they are the best team in WWE even at the hands of defeat.And finally in the opening match of the evening Gregory Helms had to defend his Cruiserweight Championship against not one, not two, not even three but nine other men in a sudden death type battle royal. The match was good but with so many men it was hard to keep track of and should have been booked better. Helms retained the Championship.No Way Out 2006 was one of the better offerings by WWE in recent years. A excellent main event and a strong undercard proved Smackdown! may be the show to watch once again in 2006.

This was the best No Way Out I've seen.It was kicked of with a awful match. The cruiserweight title match was not as good as i expected. It get 3 out of 10. Gregory Helms stole the god tham match.The thing that saved the ppv was Lashley vs JBL. It ended the way I didn't expect. Finlay interrupts the match but still god. Lashley did his best but... Well it deserves a 7 out of 10 Third match was MNM vs Matt Hardy and Tatanka, I like seeing Matt Hardy in the ring, but Tatanka is pretty boring. If it were a title match it would been better. I'l give it 6 out of 10 because Melina never seems to shut up.Finally... Benoit got he's shot that he deserves. The United States Championchip match was got me dizzy. I thought Booker T would surrender the championship, it seemed that way. Well Booker T taps out and Benoit. 8 out of 10 is a god grade.Heres the match that followed up in a big way. Rey Mysterio vs Randy Orton for Reys main event spot at Wrestlemania 22. Always great moves when you see Rey Mysterio. I's a surprising little S.O.B. Whell it ended in a bad way. Randy found a rope and a schoolboy got him the win. It gets 9 out of 10 The Main Event. Kurt Angle vs The Undertaker for the World Heavyweight Championchip. It Was Wered, they said that Angle had never tapped out. But he did it at Wrestlemania 17, twice. The thing that shocked me was the way angle countered the triangle choke. He won 1,2,3 and it gets 10 out of 10.I highly recommend that you see this ppv. There were some crappy matches and some classics. But Vince is only one rich man.

No Way Out 2006 was without a doubt, the best No Way Out ppv in years. Both an impressive undercard and an amazing main event easily make this the best pay per view so far this year. The Cruiserweight Match was great and a perfect opener- So many high flying moves, so many bumps... Great ending as well. Helms retains the title. 4/5. Lashley vs. JBL was a lot better than expected, both men were impressive in this match and the crowd were really rooting for Lashley. Finlay's interference at the end helps JBL get a cheap victory and finally end Lashley's impressive winning streak.3/5. MNM vs. Matt Hardy and Tatanka (his secret partner) was a good match, but it's only at the end that we find out it was a non-title match, a lot of people actually thought we had new champions. 3/5 Chris Benoit vs. Booket T was a great match. These guys always put on a good show. Benoit wins with the cross-face and becomes the new US champion! As Booker T leaves the ring, the crowd chant 'You tapped out'. 4/5 Randy Orton vs. Rey Mysterio was another great match. But Randy wins? Why? Anyway, great match. Mysterio was amazing as always. Orton wins with a cheap roll-up after Rey misses the 619. 4/5.Kurt Angle vs. The Undertaker - World Heavyweight Championship match. Wow. I mean... wow. This was superb, Angle and Taker worked so well together. So many highlights, like the angle slam on Taker through the announcers table for example. Wow. Taker was so close at the end, only to have his Tombstone reversed somehow into an ankle lock, and at the finish being rolled up by Angle. Truly amazing. Before this match, No Way Out 06' was above average, this main event made it unmissable. Match - 5/5.No Way Out 2006 over all was really good. Best No Way Out in years and it certainly topped this years dreary New Year's Revolution and disappointing Royal Rumble. And what a main event...

This No Way Out really delivered. The main event was superb and the return of Tatanka brought back fond memories for this writer. Last years No Way Out was passable but the past two PPV's for 2006 (Royal Rumble and New Years revolution) were just awful so the guys had to work hard at this event.Results from the show: John 'Bradshaw' Layfield defeated Bobby Lashley in a passable match. Matt Hardy and Tatanka defeated MNM in a non title match in a decent brawl. Chris Benoit defeated Booker T in a good match to win the United States Championship. Gregory Helms defeated Kid Kash, Scotty 2 Hotty, Psicosis, Super Crazy, Nunzio, Paul London, Funaki and Brian Kendrick to retain the Cruiserweight Championship. Randy Orton defeated Rey Mysterio to earn a shot at Kurt Angle's WWE Championship at Wrestlemania 22. Kurt Angle defeated The Undertaker in a superb 30 minute main event to retain the WWE Championship.Overall Grade - B+
