No Way Out 2008

1. Chavo Guerrero defeated CM Punk by pinfall

This is a really underrated match. I have to say that this was probably my favorite match of their series, although most people seem to think this was just okay.

Rating: 3.5 (out of 5)

2. Undertaker defeated Batista, Finlay, MVP, Great Khali, and Big Daddy V

This is another match that I found better than most. While it was not as good as the Elimination Chamber match later on, this was a very fun match. My only complaint is that I didn't like was how weak MVP looked.

Rating: 3.75

3. Ric Flair defeated Mr. Kennedy by submission

This was better than the MVP match at Royal Rumble, but not by much. No one really thought Flair would lose and Mr. Kennedy just wasn't capable of making this anything beyond "decent".

Rating: 1.75

4. Edge defeated Rey Mysterio by pinfall

This match is tough to rate because there really wasn't much of a match and Rey was hurt. They did the best they could with what they had, but this probably shouldn't have happened.

Rating: 1.25 (out of 5)

5. John Cena defeated Randy Orton by disqualification

This was a disappointment, even though had they not done the screw job ending and added 5 more minutes, it could have came close to their SummerSlam match-up. This still was good, just nothing amazing.

Rating: 3.5

6. Triple H defeated Jeff Hardy, Chris Jericho, JBL, Shawn Michaels, and Umaga

***Match Of The Night***

This was an awesome match. The ending was predictable, but the action was fast paced and full of cool spots. No one involved in this match walked away looking bad and Umaga gave one of his best performances since Royal Rumble 2007.

Rating: 4.25

I seem to like this better than most, but this was an awesome show. I didn't even mention the whole Mayweather confrontation with the Big Show, which came off great live. I think this is a must-see show.

Overall Rating: 90%
