No Way Out had a piss poor and cluster fuck build to it, Del Rio was out due to Injury so they had to think of something fast.
W/o Further or do, My thoughts..
* Highlight
+ Good
- Bad
~ Neutral
+ Sheamus(c) Def. Dolph Ziggler to retain the World Heavyweight Championship
We all knew that Dolph wasn't gonna win, But we knew he could put up a good match with almost anyone, and here was one of them, great action and Ziggs put Sheamus through the ringer, the Crowd was into it and were chanting for Ziggler. one major flaw of this match, it was the opener of the PPV -_-, That's what WWE thinks of their No.2 Title Belt.
- Santino Marella Def. Ricardo Rodriguez in a Tuxedo Match
Much like what the crowd was chanting..this was a boring and atrocious comedy filler match, Crowd was chanting boring through entire match.
+ Christian(c) Def. Cody Rhodes to retain the Intercontinental Championship
Another Great match between two of my current fav performers, this match was very good for a IC title match, both of them put up a good show, Rhodes lost, but hopefully this means he's finally going to the main event.
~ Titus O'Neal & Darren Young Def. The Usos, Primo & Epico, Justin Gabriel & Tyson Kidd to Earn a Tag Team Championship Title Shot
Match was ok, Kidd got a good spot towards the end, Darren Young and Titus winning, don't know who these jabronis are, but all I know is That Young is the Black John Cena, dude looks goofy as hell with a fro, not to mention his goofy victory dance.
+ Layla(c) Def. Beth Phoneix to retain the Divas Championship
Pretty good match for a divas match, Glad Layla got the win, she's a way better performer than Kelly Kelly, she can and did put up a good show here.
- Sin Cara Def. Hunico
My my, how the mighty have fallen, after his injury, Sin Cara has lost alot of hype, I mean No one gave a shit about him in this match, they were chanting "We Want Ryder WOO WOO WOO" the entire time, even sadder that Hunico has to carry him in this match since all Sin Cara is, a spot monkey.
+ CM Punk(c) Def. Daniel Bryan and Kane to retain the WWE Championship
Great Pops for Bryan and Punk, but they were on Bryan's side majority of the time, kinda felt bad for Kane XD
Great match, but that is always expected from Punk and Danielson, they made it work with Kane in it, Punk wins after AJ attempts to interfere, I was hoping Danielson to win, but it is what it is.
- Ryback Def. Two Jobbers in a Handicap Match
I don't care about this clown so I don't know why Vince keeps pushing him, the crowd doesn't like him and they just chanted "GOLDBERG" through the entire time... NEXT!
~ John Cena Def. Big Show in a stipulation where if Show loses, Johnny Ace is Fired and if Cena loses, He's fired
Well, I didn't give a shit about this feud and the match proved why, nothing special, the only highlight was when Kingston,Ryder,Riley, and Brodus Clay came down to help out after the Refs were knocked out. Cena escapes and wins, Vince Fires Johnny Ace and Cena FU's him on the table and reigns supreme... didn't matter though, we would lose anyways, cause You know Vinny Mac isn't gonna take Cena off television at all, so if he lost and got fired, he would be back the next week. So yeah.
Other Good Things
+ Good Crowd
Other Bad Things
- Triple H appearence cutting a promo about something we already know that is gonna happen(Lesnar vs HHH at Summerslam)
- Kinda Flimsy Card Structure, you open your PPV with a world title match? sheesh.
- Bad Build
- Johnny Ace Getting fired when he JUST got the job at Mania..the fuck?
Decent stuff in this PPV, but typical bland ending as usual, the Super Hero wins! YAY!!!!....I only Enjoyed 4 Matches, which were the title matches.. everything else was just bleh.. I give this PPV 6.5/10, not as good as TNA's last PPV. I enjoyed it up to the end where it just went to shit.. for an obvious reason.
