The Bouncing Articles: No Way Out 2008

The Bouncing Articles

             In this article, we are going to rewind our minds to 2008. This is around the time where John Cena was the Rumble winner. Where Ric Flair was on that retirement angle. Ready? Well, let's dive into No Way Out 2008.

ECW Championship: Chavo Guerrero Vs. CM Punk

             Both of these were great wrestlers, but I was definitely going for Chavo. Why? Because CM PUNK CANNOT PLAY A FACE!!!! He is one of the worst faces ever. I don't enjoy insulting the guy, but how can you not? He just cannot be a face. It is undo-able for him. I know he isn't the worst face (that is already reserved for the worst wrestler), but he was still pretty bad. Anyways, this was a pretty decent match. I liked the ending to this match as well. This was a lot better than the WWE Championship match.

Smackdown/ECW Elimination Chamber: The Great Khali Vs. Big Daddy V Vs. MVP Vs. Finlay Vs. Undertaker Vs. Batista

             I have a few complaints about this match. Why didn't ECW have its own chamber? Why does the winner have to challenge the World Heavyweight Championship holder? What if Big Daddy V were to win? Why couldn't he challenge Chavo? Anyways, this match was really predictable. We all knew it would come down to Undertaker and Batista, and we all knew that Undertaker would win. The best wrestler out of all of them is Finlay, so I was cheering for him. Anyways, the match was okay. I was surprised it was the second match on the card.

Ric Flair Vs. Ken Kennedy

             Ric Flair chose who would make him retire. This makes no sense. He should have faced Shawn Michaels this night and faced Mr. Kennedy at Wrestlemania 24. Both are good wrestlers, but it is thanks to Kennedy that this was a great match. Ric Flair did some contributions, but it was mostly Kennedy. This was definitely the match of the night, but this could have headlined Wrestlemania 24 instead of Ric Flair facing Shawn Michaels.

World Heavyweight Championship: Edge Vs. Rey Mysterio

             Why did Rey get a rematch? He JUST fought Edge at Royal Rumble. GIVE SOMEONE ELSE A SHOT!!!! The only reason why this match happened was to start Big Show Vs. Floyd Mayweather. Edge got a clean win, but the match was only like 5 minutes long. A heel Big Show came out and then threatened to attack Floyd, and you all know the rest. They could have done a lot better with this match, but this was nowhere NEAR as bad as the other world title match.

WWE Championship: Randy Orton (who got Kennedy fired) Vs. John Cena

             DEFINITELY THE WORST MATCH ON THE CARD!!!! WHAT WERE THEY THINKING???? WHO THOUGHT THAT HAVING THE 2 WORST WRESTLERS OF ALL TIME HAVE A TITLE MATCH FOR THE MOST “PRESTIGIOUS” TITLE WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA???? WERE THEY JUST DOING THIS FOR GIGGLES TO SEE OUR REACTION???? WELL I WILL TELL YOU MY REACTION. IT PISSED ME OFF!!!! IT LOOKS LIKE YOU GOT WHAT I WANTED!!!! Anyways, if you are wondering, I am not exaggerating. This match was just terrible. Fifteen minutes of this crap was on. Guess how it ended. Take a while guess. What is the biggest slap in the face after watching a match for 15 minutes? It ended in disqualification. That isn't the only thing that annoyed me. What gave Cena the right to break tradition? The Royal Rumble winner has a singles match with the champion at Wrestlemania. That is how it has been. That is how it should be. Does Cena think he is special? Does he think he is better than the other Royal Rumble winners? At the time, he was the worst wrestler to win the Royal Rumble (someone else took that title a year later). I would probably forgive all the flaws if this was a good match, but it was far from it. You know who should have gotten the shot? Snitsky easily deserved it. Heck, book Dennis Stamp in there and you would get yourself an audience. Let me try and help WWE. This is what causes people to look for streams. Nobody wants to PAY MONEY to watch the 2 worst wrestlers ever. If you had a good card then more people would order it. If you need help booking, I can easily help. I know what matches will be good. Anyways, this match was terrible.

Raw Elimination Chamber: Triple H Vs. Umaga Vs. Jeff Hardy Vs. Shawn Michaels Vs. JBL Vs. Chris Jericho

            This match was pretty good, but WWE was just teasing me. I remember them considering to use the best powerhouse ever in this match. You know who I mean. SNITSKY!!! Instead of going on with that genius plan, they decided that they didn't want a 5 star match. They would be better off with a 3.5 star match. There was a really good promo that they had going into it. It had all the competitors, except Triple H, and it also had Snitsky. That promo was great, but I only say that for one reason, Snitsky. He definitely carried it. I don't even know how the others did, since Snitsky's part was so good that it made me forget all about it. I remember Snitsky talking about him never getting a chance. I was wondering what somebody would do to follow that up. What do they do? I remember HBK ruining the moment with a lame “joke”. Anyways, Triple H ended up winning, so he gets a singles match with the worst wrestler ever, right? Of course not. They add John Cena.

The Bouncing Q & A

Q: The release of Maryse got me wondering who will be next. Who do you think will be released next?

A: This really pains me to answer it, but I know the answer to that. You know how WWE really loves making bad decisions? Well, they are about to make the worst recent decision. They are going to fire John Morrison soon. I really thought he was going to get a push, but we all know that talent doesn't get you everything (look at Snitsky and Kennedy). Hopefully, they are just messing with us and they will give Morrison a huge push, but I really doubt it.

             Remember, if you have a REASONABLE question that you would like to ask me, what are you waiting for? ASK IT!!!! Well, that is No Way Out 2008. It was a mediocre PPV. There is something about Vengeance that I would love to rant about, but that will have to wait.

GOODNIGHT!!!!

   Thanatos, Cena shouldn't have even won the Rumble in the 1st place, but since he did, that earned him a spot at Wrestlemania. Also, who decided to make the worst wrestler the champ?
   
   Sam, that is still no excuse. Why have an injured guy go for the title?
   
   Comment 1, because parents are forced to buy stuff for their whining kids I am suppose to like him over Morrison? I have never said Cena is the worst. Then you go on to say that the absolute worst wrestler ever can play heel and face. Watch at least ONE of his segments, then you will get what I mean.

   Lol... In the RAW EC match you only talked about Snitsky not being in it. Wasn't this a review of that PPV? And also I have to say I NEVER liked Snitsky!! What was the theme of that wrestler? He never did anything special for WWE. If someone asks why? you will answer that because he wasn't given the proper push. And if someone asks why wasn't he given the proper push? I will answer: Because he was not able to carry it!!!

   Listen dude, if you hate randy orton so much, than why do you talk about him? Randy orton has done nothing to prove that he is the worst, if we were going by how much finnese these guys have, yeah maybe he isn't the best, but look at what he does in the ring, he can do anything, not to mention succesful runs as both a heel and a face, Cena isn't the worst either, sure he ain't the best, and definitely doesn't have the finnese, but look out in the crowd and tell me you don't at least see 10 John Cena shirts, what he can't do in the ring he can make up for in popularity, so do us all a favor, and stop talking about these guys like they can't/didn't progress the company further, because there is no doubt, that they did

   Tim, I am really sorry, but I have no idea what you just said.
   
   Sanji, please tell me what this sentence has to do with Snitsky not being in it:
   
   "Anyways, Triple H ended up winning, so he gets a singles match with the worst wrestler ever, right? Of course not. They add John Cena."

   Stop saying cena and orton are bad wrestlers and snitsky is. Snitsky is tall and big and that's it. Do you actually know undertaker supports cena and so does chris jericho. Chris Jericho wanted to feud with cena when cena was a mid carder and jericho let cena win the feud. Randy Orton is on top and he has pressure to perform and carry the company. Randy performs like he should be on top and his feud with rhodes is great. Don't tell me the Cody is carrying the feud. Orton has learned from HHH and Flair two great wrestlers. Once again don't say Flair and HHH cant wrestle. Snitsky can't carry a company. I like mr. anderson(he is in tna now get over it) but he can only carry tna

   I liked No Way out 2008, except the Cena Orton match. The Rey match lasted 5 minutes because Rey was injured.
