Summary: No Way Out 2001
Comment: This was a really good ppv. In fact, one of the best in 2001. There were high profile matches that everyone was looking to see.
1)Big Show v. Raven (WWF Hardcore title): This was an o.k. match to start the night off with. Of course, Big Show was the favorite, but during the match, Billy Gunn, Steve Blackmen, Crash, Hardcore Holly interfered. Big Show still came out on top.
2)Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit, X-Pac, & Chris Jericho (WWF I.C. Title): This match was a pretty good match. There was a lot of action and the match went back and forth.
3)Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley v. Trish Stratus: This was one match many were waiting to see. With a great storyline and with these two fighting all the time, no one could wait to see this match. Stephanie & Trish never wrestled that much so people really didn't know what to expect from them. In the end, it turned out to be a great match.
4)Stone Cold v. Triple H (2 out of 3 falls: 1st fall is a regular wrestling match, 2nd fall is a street fight, 3rd fall is a Cage): These two had a great storyline going and a lot of intense action had occured before this match. Everyone knew it would go to a 3rd fall but no one knew how far these two would take it. They went back and forth; using weapons and just beating the crap out of each other. I was very suprised at some of the things that happened during this match. This one match is the reason why you should buy this movie.
5)Jerry "the king" Lawler v. Steven Richards: Now i'm a fan of "The Kings", but this wasn't that good of a match. It was just a way to get Lawler to have a match.
6)Edge & Christian v. Dudleys v. Undertaker & Kane (table match foe WWF Tag Team Titles): I sort of like this match. I feel that the Undertaker & Kane are just out of league for the Dudleys and Edge & Christian. And they didn't even win the match. Not a good move!
7)Kurt Angle v. The Rock (WWF Title): This was a good match until Big Show got involved. There was really no reason for him to. But still, it was a good match. One of the best WWF title matches i've seen. They didn't have to use weapns or make each other bleed to get the crowd into it.
Overall, this was one of the best WWF ppvs in 2001!

Summary: One Of The Best No Way Out's In WWF/WWE's History!
Comment: This was during the height of WWF Attitude in February 2001 and this was a great card. It was actually better than The Royal Rumble that took place a month earlier. Because they were still WWF at this point, I will refer to them as such for this review. Here is what went down:
The Big Show Vs. Raven (WWF Hardcore Match) - Nothing spectacular other than to show how dangerous TBS could be in this environment. Other wrestlers make their appearance but Show pretty much dominates this one.
Chris Jericho Vs. Chris Benoit Vs. Eddie Guerrero Vs. X-Pac (Fatal Fourway Match for the WWF I-C Title) - WWF/WWE style three ways and four ways can range from okay to suck to pretty good to above average to excellent. I would rank this one in the above average category! Then again, how could it not be with the Stu Hart trained Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit and the now-legend that is Eddie Guerrero. Even X-Pac brought his A-game for this one! I would also say this is one of the more brutal 4 ways I've ever seen with just....wrestling! Benoit even dusted off his old "Dragon Suplex" (Full Nelson Suplex) for this one while Eddie brought back his "brainbuster" for this match! Ends when Jericho gets in a quick pin on X-Pac who had Benoit down for his own pin but couldn't capitalize. Excellent I-C title match!
Stephanie McMahon Vs. Trish Stratus - Now, put this into prespective. Stephanie will NEVER be accused of being a great female wrestler. For someone that wasn't watching WWF/WWE at that time, one would look at this and say "Trish will kill Steph!" but keep in mind Trish was a rookie herself and wasn't nearly the performer she became later in 2001 thru 2006. With that in mind, this match turned out better than anticipated! I know I was expecting it to suck! Ends when William Regal's interference backfires in favor of Steph and she gets the pin. This match led to the now infamous "strip down and bark like a dog" incident with Trish and Vince that took place a few weeks after this match.
Triple H Vs. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin (Special 2 out of 3 match) - In this one, the falls had special stipulations to them. The first was a regular match, the second was a street fight while the final match (if needed) was to take place in a cage! For those that haven't seen this, this more than made up for their Survivor Series 2000 match! I'll admit, at that time, I expected this one to suck booty even with two of the top guys involved but it ended up great! You really believed that not only would they do anything to win, they would be willing to die themselves to get their hands raised!
It goes all three falls by the way. I won't tell you who wins (you probably know already) but its worth the 40 plus minutes to watch! This match is also on the recently released "Legacy Of Stone Cold Steve Austin" DVD that came out back earlier this year.
Jerry "The King" Lawler Vs. Stevie Richards - Filler match with the silly stipulation that if Lawler won, The Kat would get naked on the PPV! If he lost, Kat would have to join Right To Censor! Of course, you knew the heels would win this! Even McMahon isn't that crazy!
The Undertaker/Kane Vs. Edge/Christian Vs. The Dudley Boyz (WWF World Tag Team Title Tables Match) - We know E & C and The Dudley Boyz could go in this type of bout but "The Dead Man" and "The Big Red Machine" did pretty well here too! Ends when 'Taker and Kane have the match won but the team of Rikishi and Meng interfer and give the Dudley's the win with a 3D on (I think) Christian. I do know The Dudleys (Team 3D today in TNA) retained their titles.
The Rock Vs. Kurt Angle (WWF World Title Match) - This is when I really started respecting Angle. In a losing effort, he really took it to the Rock to prove he wasn't the proverbial "transitional champion." He also unleashed for the first time on PPV his now famous anklelock which nearly won him the match against "The Great One!" The Rock used some surprising wrestling as well with a superplex, sharpshooter and even a belly to belly suplex! Ends after two Rock Bottoms on Angle to get the win!
Overall, if you still have a functional VHS player, this tape is worth getting! The seller prices are pretty good! Worth getting!

Summary: The Best "No Way Out" Event In Its History.
Comment: Even though WrestleMania X7 went down as the best PPV of 2001, a close second was the event that happened a month prior to it. That event was WWF No Way Out, which not only featured some of the best wrestling matches in one show but the end of one of the best rivalries in the WWF.
Hardcore Champion Raven vs The Big Show. This was a great way to start the show as we get the typical spotfest that we should expect to see in a hardcore match. What made this one stand out was the 24/7 rule coming in effect and allowing the other wrestlers to get their moments in before the match was over.
Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho vs Eddie Guerrero vs Chris Benoit vs X-Pac. This match could be a main event at a now WWE PPV, but back then it was a midcard match. I thought this match was better than the opener as we had a good 20-25 minutes of some solid, fast-paced wrestling action. Awesome contest between four talented athletes
Stephanie McMahon-Helmsly vs Trish Stratus. Just when you think the event is about to hit rock bottom(no pun intended), this match turns out to be good. Basically, it is good because it is not the typical womens match with silly catfighting but it was intense and even a few solid moves here and there. The ending was set up perfectly and promises the fued will continue.
3 Stages of Hell: Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Triple H. The first fall was a singles match. The second fall was a street fight. And the third fall was inside a steel cage. This was the match that won match of the year in 2001 and truly is the best match on this card. For over 40 minutes, Austin & HHH beat the living hell out of each other to the point of exhaustion. Words can not describe this classic and if I have to point out one thing bad about this match, it is the obvious blading both men did. Still, this is an awesome match that lived up to the hype & could be considered as the best Austin/HHH encounter.
Steven Richards vs Jerry "The King" Lawler. The story in this match was that if the King wins, the Kat can get naked. But if Steven wins, the Kat has to join the RTC. This is the only match on the card that I was not satisfied with. However, the match itself is not bad at all but it is sub-par with the rest of the events.
Tables Match:Tag Team Champions The Dudley Boyz vs Edge & Christian vs The Undertaker & Kane. What was up with Taker's outfit? Besides that, this was an out of control brawl that was actually quite enjoyable because it told a story. Taker & Kane were the monsters to be feared, E&C were the cowards who just wanted their belts back, and the Dudleys just want to put someone to a table. Rikishi & Haku almost ruin this one but still the overall match was very good.
WWF Champion Kurt Angle vs The Rock. The promo before this match is one of the funniest ones that I have seen in WWF. As usual, Angle & Rock deliver an awesome main event that was actually much better than the match that they had at No Mercy in 2000 & one of Rock's best wrestling matches in his career. Honestly, the match could have gone either way and that is the way main events should be like. The ending set up the main event at WrestleMania X-7 and if you follow wrestling, you know what it is.
I was so happy that I found this event in my old collection of wrestling tapes because it was events like these that showed that the WWF Attitude Era was the best era in the history of professional wrestling. If only events like these still exist. Highly Recommended.

Summary: still remains the best no way out in history!!!
Comment: 1) Hardcore title match Raven vs. Big Show: a nice way to kick off the payperview. all kinds of weapons were used and it really became intense halfway through the match when many superstars began interfering. 8/10
2) Y2J vs. Benoit vs. Guerrero vs. Xpac for i.c title: a magnificant fatal 4 way match that just had non-stop action from beggining to end. a technical masterpiece. 9/10
3) Trish stratus vs. Stephanie Mcmahon-helmsley: suprise match of the night that saw both women literally beat the hell out of each other. a great woman's match. 8/10.
4) 3 stages of hell match steve austin vs. triple h: Still remains one of my most favorite matches of all time. this one had everything and anything that a wrestling fan would want. tons weapons, blood, and carnage that will keep u on the edge of your seat. hell of a way to finish this fued. 10/10.
5) jerry lawler vs. steven richards: somehow, unfortunately, i knew that rtc would win this match and i ended up being right. decent match between these two men but nothing worth speaking of. 7/10.
6) dudleys vs. edge & christian vs. undertaker & kane in a triple threat table match for the tag titles: an excellent brawl between these three men, mainly the undertaker and kane who literally beat the s*** out of both teams only to be screwed in the end. 8.5/10.
7) kurt angle vs. the rock for the championship: a hell of a match and the best that i've seen between these two men. big show makes a suprise appearance and the rock ends up going to wrestlemania as champion. 9/10.
All in all, this still remains the greatest no way out as it had something for every wrestling fan to enjoy. definitely worth adding to your collection.

Summary: WWF No Way Out 2001: Austin vs. Triple H
Comment: WWF No Way Out 2001
Las Vegas, Nevada
No Way Out was one of the WWE's best ppv's of 2001!!!!
1. WWF Hardcore Championship
Big Show vs. Raven (C)
This was a decent hardcore match, lots of title changes though but the Big Show is the one left standing.
Winner: Big Show 3/5
2. WWF Intercontinental Championship
Chris Jericho (C) vs. Chris Benoit vs. X-Pac vs. Eddie Guerrero
Good but not great fatal four way. All four men does a great performance.
Winner: Chris Jericho 4/5
3. Trish Stratus vs. Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley
In my opinion this was one of the best divas matches in some time. this also had a decent rivalry. The spanking on Trish is funny. match diffantly worth watching a couple of times.
Winner: Stephanie McMahon 3.5/5
4. Best 2-out-of-3 Falls Match
Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Triple H
1st Fall: Pin Fall Only- This was a great 1st fall. Very fierce and good brawling. Stone Cold wins the fall with the Stone Cold Stunner. 4/5
2nd Fall: Street Fight- This was a great street fight much like their match at Survivor Series 2000 but this one has an ending.Also a 2x4 wrapped in barbed wire that makes an appearance Triple H gets backdrop through the table but comes back to win with the pedigree after hitting Austin with the sledge hammer. Great Fall best of the three. 4.5/5
3rd Fall: Steel Cage Match- This wasn't the best steel cage match and most likely because it was the third fall. Lots of weapons are left in the cage and Austin and Triple H takes a advantage of them. The ending is right too with Triple H falling on Austin to win after both men hitting each other with the sledge hammer(Triple H) and a 2x4 wrapped in barb wire (Austin). 3.5/5
Winner: Triple H 5/5
5. WWF Tag Team Championship
Triple Threat Table Match
Edge & Christian vs. The Dudleyz (C) vs. The Brothers of Destruction
Alright tables match Kane and Taker due much of the work until Rikishi and Haku interfers. Christain gets 3D through the table.
Winner: The Dudley Boys 3/5
6. WWF Championship
The Rock vs. Kurt Angle (C)
This is the one on one rematch for the title that the Rock never got until now. This match was very good not as good as their No Mercy match but very watchable. It took 2 Rock Bottoms to put Angle away and The Rock was on the road to WM 17 to face Stone Cold.
Winner: The Rock 4/5
Overall i give No Way Out a 4/5.

Wrestlemania 17 may go down as the biggest, most lucrative Pay-Per-View in 2001, but as far as quality goes, many wrestling fans will tell you it was No Way Out, a mere month before Wrestlemania, that showcased the best wrestling of the year. Rarely can a three-hour Pay-Per-View hold your attention throughout, without any down time, but the action-packed NWO does just that. WWF's writers worked up enough soap opera drama to make each of these matches interesting. Whether it's the ultimate cat fight for "female domination" in the WWF, between Stephanie and Trish Stratus, the Rock trying to regain the WWF Championship from a whiny Kurt Angle, or Jerry "the King" Lawler fighting for the Right for Nudity against Steven Richards, NWO never lets up. The culmination of a great evening is the brutal, exhausting, nearly 40-minute battle between Stone Cold Steve Austin and "the Game" Triple H. The men have generated the sickest feud in federation history, and it all comes to a head in a two-out-of-three-falls match. The first fall is a typical one-on-one match; the second is an anything-goes street fight match; and the third takes place in a steel cage. In what should go down as one of the nastiest, liveliest matches in history, both men give the fans everything they have. In a rarity, so does the WWF with this PPV. --Dave McCoy
