Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Owen Ogletree As the final stop before WrestleMania 24, this show was surprisingly good. Both Elimination Chamber matches delivered, as did the Cena/Orton match.ECW Championship Match: Chavo Guerrero (c) vs. CM Punk - This was a TV quality match, nothing more. These two are capable of much better, in my opinion. Chavo Guerrero retains with the Frog Splash. RATING: **Elimination Chamber Match to Become the #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 24: The Undertaker vs. Batista vs. The Great Khali vs. Big Daddy V vs. MVP vs. Finlay - This EC match was very good, but it would have been better without Great Khali and Big Daddy. They weren't in there for very long, and they felt like a waste of time. The rest of the competitors did a good job, though, and the sequences between The Undertaker and Batista were especially thrilling. The Undertaker wins by last eliminating Batista with a Tombstone Piledriver. RATING: ***3/4Career Threatening Match: Ric Flair vs. Mr. Kennedy - Average match. It was just a filler bout for the most part, and these two don't have much chemistry. Ric Flair wins with the Figure Four Leg Lock. RATING: **1/2World Heavyweight Championship Match: Edge (c) vs. Rey Mysterio - A very disappointing match. It was way too short for a world title match, and it never kicked into second gear. They were perhaps limited due to Rey's injury. Their match from the Royal Rumble was much better. Edge retains with a Spear in mid-air. RATING: *3/4WWE Championship Match: Randy Orton (c) vs. John Cena - This is one of the better matches in the Cena/Orton saga, in my opinion. There was some solid storytelling and some well-done near-falls. The ending however, sucked. Being done for storyline purposes doesn't make it any less irritating. Randy Orton retains his championship by intentionally disqualifying himself. RATING: ***1/2Elimination Chamber Match to Become the #1 Contender for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 24: Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho vs. JBL vs. Jeff Hardy vs. Umaga - This is one of the top 5 EC matches of all time, in my opinion. The action is non-stop and everyone gets to shine in this match. Umaga, in particular, put on a truly show-stopping performance, and the final sequence between Jeff Hardy and Triple H was fantastic. Triple H wins with a Pedigree on a steel chair. RATING: ****1/2While weighed down by a lacking undercard and a disappointing Edge/Mysterio match, the Cena/Orton match and the two Chamber matches make this show worth your time.RATING: B
Stampsfightclub ECW championship – Chavo Guerrero vs CM punk.A good match with good build up. It seems strange to see Punk as a fan favourite but a good energetic match 7/10.World Heavyweight championship – Edge vs Rey Mysterio.As talented as he is it can sometimes be hard to take Mysterio seriously. The build up story to this was rather daft and the fact the match finishes almost carbon copy to the Rumble match sums it up. 5/10 Smackdown elimination chamber.Two of the greatest athletes ever in Batista and Undertaker start off the match and other 'superstars' in Finlay, MVP, the great Khali and Big Daddy V enter. Easy to tell who the final to will be but what a finale and oh my word what a fantastic finishing manoeuvre! Just for that this is worth an 8/10.Ric Flair vs Mr Kennedy.Good match, Mr Kennedy (Or Anderson on TNA) is a brilliant mic worker and great athlete and with the prospect that if Flair lost he would retire this boiled some good tension and a great finish. 8/10.WWE championship - John Cena vs Randy Orton.With Cena's big return at the rumble this got the fans excited and a good lengthy match and although I can barely stand Cena he was alright, the ending to this match was so abrupt and funny. 8/10.Raw elimination chamber.With a good array of matches behind it No Way Out boiled down to a sensational last match that did include a roster of all respectable stars in Jeff Hardy, JBL, Y2J, HHH, Umaga and HBK and despite my accidental stumbling on the result, you could not guess who would win this. Fantastic moves, fast and slow paced, bodies hitting steel, a swanton off a pod a bloody collection of bodies, this was easily match of the night. 10/10.A good pay per view, entertaining though not classic but if anything at a cheap price I would buy simply for that last Raw chamber match. 7/10
wrestlingsitewebmaster Another strong PPV for the WWE but what's with having two Elimination Chamber matches on the card? Talk about overkill, but these were great especially when you consider who was in the Smackdown! EC (Big Daddy V and The Great Khali). However WWE wisely booked these two to last longer than needed and a wise move it was. As soon as Khali entered he was heckled by the fans shouting a richly deserved "You can't Wrestle" chant and even though Big Daddy V looks abysmal on most occasions he didn't look that bad well disregarding the man boobs of course.The Raw EC match was far superior to the Smackdown! EC match partly because it had 5 good workers (Jeff Hardy, HHH, Umaga, Chris Jericho and Shawn Michaels) and these can work believe me. My jaw dropped when I seen Umaga performing the double Samoan drop on Y2J and Michaels, that was awesome and even though everyone knew HHH would win, it was great seeing that he helped elevate Hardy into a main player in the match. Fans actually booed HHH and cheered Hardy.The Smackdown! EC match was good and Batista and The Undertaker certainly work well together. MVP took a chokeslam off one of the elimination pods from The Undertaker, I'm surprised MVP agreed to do this because he's only been in the WWE for a year and a half and doesn't have that much experience well at taking big bumps anyway. Finlay proved he can still take big bumps when he allowed Taker to chokeslam him on the steel outside, that most have hurt like hell. Bearing in mind Finlay is 50 years old.The rest of the card was average but was flawed by Ric Flair having a match against Mr Kennedy. I don't care how much Flair has done for the wrestling business, Kennedy deserved better. Flair won the with the figure four leg lock in a passable contest.The first match on the card was CM Punk against Chavo Guerrero. This was poor and Punk doing Eddie Guerrero's 3 suplexes spot dampened the mood further, what an idiot. Guerrero won to retain his ECW title and was actually cheered by some fans. This is a shame as Guerrero and Punk are good workers but for some reason they didn't click in this match.Results from the show: Chavo Guerrero downed CM Punk to retain the ECW title in a poor match.... Edge defeated Rey Mysterio in 5 minutes to retain the World title (Rey suffered a bicep injury about a month before the event and was unable to compete in a full match).... The Undertaker bested Finlay, Big Daddy V, The Great Khali, MVP and Batista in a very good Elimination Chamber match.... Ric Flair defeated Mr Kennedy via a figure four leg lock in a so so match.... John Cena downed Randy Orton via DQ in a passable match.... Triple H defeated Jeff Hardy, Chris Jericho, Shawn Michaels, Umaga and John 'Bradshaw' Layfield in an excellent Elimination Chamber Match to win the right to face the WWE champion at Wrestlemania (even though John Cena won the Royal Rumble to go on to face a Champion at Wrestlemania 24) Overall Grade - B-
kyle-mcdonald Well I have always been a big WWE fan and I have watched it for a long time now and I have been following the PPV sense WWE no mercy 2007 and up to this one and so far they have been all great but this has to be one of the best I have seen And here are the reasons The matches are great such as Chavo vs. cm Punk for the Ecw Championship which chavo won by pin, The Smackdown Elimination chamber: The Undertaker vs. Batsista vs. Big Daddy V vs. Finlay vs. The Great Khali vs. Mvp Which The Undertaker won by giving Batista a tombstone and pinning him and this means that The undertaker goes on to wrestlemania to go for the world heavyweight championship. This was probably the best Elimination I have seen. Mr. Kennedy vs. Ric Flair which Ric Flair won by submission This means that Ric Flair does not have to retire, Rey mysterio vs. Edge for The World Heavyeight Championship which Edge won by pin, Randy Orton vs. John Cena for the WWE Championship which John Cena won by DQ so that means that randy Orton keeps the title, The raw Elimination Chamber Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Y2J Chris Jericho vs. Umaga vs. JBL vs. Jeff Hardy which Triple H won by pin. Another reason why it is so good is that all of the matches had lots of action in them and they were are really fun to watch and you just can't get enough of them. Also another thing that I liked about this WWE no way out was that Big Show made his WWE return and that Floyd mayweather Jr. Brock his nose that was pretty funny and now they have a match at Wrestlemania 24. So I am sure that you will not be disappointed with WWE No Way Out 2008 because it is really good. So make sure that you rent or buy or order on PPV or go see it theater because it is just so great.Match ratings: ECW Championship: Chavo vs. CM Punk: *** out of *****Smackdown Elimination Chamber: The Underatker vs. Batista vs. Big Daddy V vs. The Great Khali vs. Finlay vs. MVP: ***** out of ***** Mr. Kennedy vs. Ric Flair: **** out of ***** World Heavyweight Championship: EDGE vs. Rey Mysterio: *** out of ***** WWE Championship: John Cena vs. Randy Orton: **** out of ***** Raw Elimination Chamber: Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Y2J Chris Jericho vs. Umaga Vs.
