No Mercy 2007

1. Triple H defeated Randy Orton by pinfall to win the WWE Championship

This was solid and understandably on the shorter side. Still, considering what was in store for the rest of the show, this was still a good effort by these two.

Rating: 3 (out of 5)

2. Mr. Kennedy, Lance Cade + Trevor Murdoch defeated Jeff Hardy, Brian Kendrick + Paul London by pinfall

This wasn't nearly as exciting as I thought it would be. The scary thing is that not one of these guys is still on the WWE roster.

Rating: 2.25

3. CM Punk defeated Big Daddy V by disqualification

This was an insult to our intelligence. Why protect Big Daddy V? Did they really have big plans for him at the time?

Rating: .25

4. Triple H defeated Umaga by pinfall

This wasn't as exciting as it probably should have been, but again, considering that Triple H had another match, it was probably best that it was on the shorter side.

Rating: 2

5. Rey Mysterio and Finlay fought to a no contest

I really liked this feud, but unfortunately since neither guy is really known for their mic skills, it was only two pay-per-view matches long. Still, this was fun until the controversial ending.

Rating: 2.75

6. Beth Phoenix defeated Candice Michelle by pinfall to win the Women's Championship

This wasn't very good, but at least the right diva went over.

Rating: .75

7. Batista defeated Great Khali by escape in a Punjabi Prison Match

The first half of this is pretty boring, but the last few minutes were pretty well executed. I suppose this was better than it had any right to be.

Rating: 1.5

8. Randy Orton defeated Triple H in a Last Man Standing Match to win the WWE Championship

***Match Of The Night***

This was a great match and excatly what their main event at WrestleMania 25 should have been. These two were asked to step up to the plate as a result of John Cena's injury and I believe they did. This is one of Randy Orton's better performances.

Rating: 3.75

This was by no means a great show, but it certainly is a watchable one. I can't quite put my finger on it, but this show felt a little bit more like an Attitude era show than most of the shows from this time period. Perhaps it was due to the fact that they scrambled to put this show together because of the Cena injury. Still, I wouldn't go out of your way for this one unless you love Orton or Triple H.
