No Mercy 2006

1. Matt Hardy defeated Gregory Helms by pinfall

***Match Of The Night***

I know I am probably overrating this, since I've never seen anyone give this anywhere near the score I'm giving, but I really enjoyed this match. These guys know each other well and it showed. Lots of back and forth action and the crowd ate it up.

Rating: 3.75 (out of 5)

2. Paul London + Brian Kendrick defeated Austin Idol + KC James by pinfall

Another good match from London and Kendrick. These guys were the best tag team the WWE had since earlier in the decade.

Rating: 3

3. MVP defeated Marty Garner by pinfall

This was meant to make MVP look like an arrogant jerk and in that aspect it worked. Nothing more than a squash, however.

Rating: .25

4. Mr. Kennedy defeated Undertaker by disqualification

I really wanted to like this match, but I just couldn't get into it. It was slow and I don't think Kennedy got enough offense in. Plus, why did the Undertaker go nuts at the end?

Rating: 1.75

5. Rey Mysterio defeated Chavo Guerrero by pinfall

This was a fun brawl, even if it was a bit tame. There were some good spots and they kept up a good pace throughout the match.

Rating: 2.75

6. Chris Benoit defeated William Regal by submission

This was an "impromptu" match between two old favorites. This was good, but not as good as some claimed.

Rating: 2.75

7. King Booker defeated Finlay, Batista and Lashley by pinfall

This was a good four-way match, but far from great. Finlay was really the glue that held this match together and Booker played his character well.

Rating: 3

This was a surprisingly good show. I remember really liking it when I watched it live and it has held up fairly well. The first match is a personal favorite, but even without that match, this is worth your time. Check it out if you get a chance, even if it's not at the top of your list.

Overall Rating: 79%
