BRM Reviews WWF No Way Out 2001

[Big Red Machine]

WWF No Way Out 2001 (2/25/2001)- Las Vegas, NV

WWF HARDCORE TITLE MATCH: Raven(c) vs. The Big Show- 3.5/10. I really disliked the 24/7 stuff.

WWF INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE MATCH: Chris Jericho(c) vs. Chris Benoit vs. Eddie Guerrero vs. X-Pac- 7.25/10. Great wrestling and a great use of the Fatal 4 Way situation. It really made you feel like getting a pin or submission would be impossible because of all of the other guys.

TRISH STRATUS vs. STEPHANIE MCMAHON-HELMSLEY- 6.5/10

3 STAGES OF HELL: Triple H vs. “Stone Cold” Steve Austin- 9.5/10. A fitting blow-off to a violent feud. I great finish, too.

IF LAWLER WINS, THE KAT WILL STRIP NAKED; IF RICHARDS WIN, THE KAT WILL JOIN RTC: Steven Richards (w/Ivory) vs. Jerry Lawler (w/The Kat)- 4/10

TABLES MATCH FOR THE WWF WORLD TAG TEAM TITLES: The Dudley Boys(c) vs. The Brothers of Destruction vs. Edge & Christian- 6.75/10. Fun.

THE ROCK PROMO- good

WWF TITLE MATCH: Kurt Angle(c) vs. The Rock- 8.25/10. The Rock using the title belt as a weapon was a huge mistake here. Everything about this match had been set up with Kurt as the heel and every other part of the match played out with Kurt as the heel. The Rock shouldn't have cheated, especially when near-fall off of a Rock Bottom would have done the same thing for the match

Overall, an awesome show from the WWF.
