Wrestling fans I make it no secret that I was a huge WWE then WWF fan however i've barely even reviewed the shows in and around Wrestlemania Seventeen and well that changes right freaking now. Since the show that i'm about to review for you all today has perhaps one of if not the best two out of three falls match with the show in question being the 2001 edition of the classic PPV that is called simply just "No Way Out" enjoy.
The main plotline going into this show is the feud between Triple H and Stone Cold Steven Austin which as us wrestling fans will indeed no technically started at Survivor Series 1999 when Stone Cold Steve Austin was famously hit and ran down by a car to which it was later revelled that was Triple H who orchestrated the running down of Stone Cold Steve Austin. Of course there are man storylines that are running through this show but in my opinion anyways / at least the main main storyline as well as all of the story storylines that are currently going on during this show are very well done and and very well advanced in my opinion anyways / at least.
The stage / set for this PPV rather minimalistic with there being the main tron plus two smaller trons at either side of the main tron and that's really it and well I honestly did like this vert minimalistic set. However I did find out distracting since the two mini trons advertise upcoming matches which was very distracting since it took my focus away from the match that was currently taking place and so I di very much strongly feel that those two mini trons should have had something else playing on them in my opinion anyways / at least.
I will very much admit that this set does make good use of it's space since there's no dead space at all in this particular WWF / WWE PPV set. However I do think that this set should have been more like the lock / keypad / whatever you want to call it look that the logo / graphic for the PPV just because it really does hit home that there would be No Way Out for all of the wrestlers that are on this card in my opinion anyways / at least.
Now then there are some botches during this show with one of the botches coming from someone who you really wouldn't expect to make a botch with that person being X-Pac. Since near the end of the fatal four way match X-Pac and Justin Credible pull Chris Benoit outside of the ring and they both hit a double superkick and yet you can quite clearly see that X-Pac didn't quite connect with his superkick and heck even Chris Jericho himself botches a move in the very same match with both botches from both superstars being fairly freaking obvious in my opinion anyways / at least.
Now then there is one thing that I would alter about this show and that's the arrangement of two of it's matches since this show as it is has Stephanie Vs Trish happening before Triple H Vs Stone Cold Steve Austin and it had Steven Richards Vs Jerry "The King" Lawler happen after the Triple H Vs Stone Cold Steve Austin match. Now I would switch the two matches around since the women's matches during this time period were seen as pee break matches and so it would give the audience a chance to their breathe which is something that they would really need to do after seeing the classic Triple H Vs Stone Cold Steve Austin 3 Stages of hell match in my opinion anyways / at least.
Another reason for this change is because the crowd was just so worn out for the next two matches which is a shame because those two matches were really good matches in my opinion anyways / at least. This is something that wouldn't be an issue if these two pee break matches were switched around since then the audience would have a chance to catch there breathe during the Stephanie Vs Trish match and thus the audience can they be as loud as they wanted two during the triple threat tag team tables match in my opinion anyways / at least.
Now then I sadly the botches did continue in the main event with a big botch in main even actually affecting the ending of the main event. Since the match was supposed to end with The Rock giving Kurt Angle ONE Rock Bottom and The Rock would get one , two and three however I think the referee forgot the ending because he stopped counting at two and so The Rock was then forced to give Kurt Angle another Rock Bottom and then The Rock got the one , two and three count and yeah this botch is just so freaking obvious and it really did bring down the overall quality of that match in my opinion anyways / at least.
So now then this particular WWE / WWF PPV has / had an exact running time of exactly two hours and thirty nine minuets and forty seconds and well this PPV really didn't need to be that long in my opinion anyways / at least. However there's really nothing that you could have cut out of the show or cut down in the show either since every single and every single backstage segment lasts just the right amount of time in my opinion anyways / at least.
Now then since this show is a wrestling show after all that means that I have to actually talk about the actual wrestling that's featured / presented to us in this very / actual wrestling show and well in my opinion anyways / at least the wrestling that's featured / presented to us in this very / actual wrestling show wasn't that bad. Heck i'd go as far to say that alot of the wrestling matches that are in this very show are very good matches with my personal favourite match being the Triple H Vs Stone Cold Steve Austin 3 Stages Of Hell match which is just pyre awesome to watch and is just an absolute classic match to watch in my opinion anyways / at least.
Overall this was a great PPV / show and this show / PPV was a great way to lead us into and as well as get us hyped for what many myself included consider to be the greatest ever Wrestlemania with that show being called of course Wrestlemania Seventeen. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are featured / presented to us in this very show / PPV in this very review and as such that means that this particular PPV / show gets a grand old score of exactly a 9 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally favourite website to use to get images from this episode being the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page this is simply because the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page actually has alot of images from this episode and plus all of the of the images that are currently up and featured and on Google Images are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being fairly freaking high definition.
