No Way Out 2006.Cruiserweight championship.Gregory Helms vs Kid Kash vs Psicosis vs Super Crazy vs Paul London vs Nunzio vs Brian Kendrick vs Scotty 2 Hotty vs Funaki.A good opening that had a reasonable build up. Its always great to see the worm but shame about the winner 6/10.Matt Hardy and Tatanka vs MNM.MNM were not pushed as much as they should have been during their time and here they were quite good against Hardy and Tatanka. An even contest but quite forgettable 5/10.Lashley vs JBL.Two brutal athletes going head to head was a strong powerful encounter that had a controversial ending 7/10.United States championship.Chris Benoit vs Booker T.After their best of 7 match series finalised this was a chance to wrap it all in anticipation again as the two great performers did battle evenly with twists and turns in story and match 8/10.WrestleMania title opportunity.Rey Mysterio vs Randy Orton.After the late passing of legendry Eddie Guerrero Mysterio's talk was revolving around doing it for him and there are many good moments in this match and story plus sad ones to 7/10.World Heavyweight championship.Kurt Angle vs Undertaker.Fantastic match that for some reason claimed neither had ever tapped out before when they have. However great blows, great twists and turns and vintage moves from two of the best wrestlers in the business. Bit of a disappointing ending for such an even classic match 9/10.

January 2006 was a terrible month for WWE Pay-Per-Views. Both New Years Revolution and the Royal Rumble just plain stunk. WWE needed a strong showing on the road to WrestleMania 22. No Way Out 2006 was just that. The main event of the evening pitting reigning World Heavyweight Champion Kurt Angle against the WWE's resident phenomenon The Undertaker was a spectacular match and early candidate for match of the year honours. These two men proved that even six years after they first hooked it up on a live event they still have what it takes to tear the house down.The second half of the main event's of the night was Rey Mysterio defending Eddie Guerrero's honour and his WrestleMania Championship opportunity against the cocky and arrogant Randy Orton. This match was good too. It was probably no surprise to a great deal of people that Orton picked up the win but only after using the ropes to his advantage.The rest of the undercard was entertaining too. Chris Benoit finally took the United States Championship from Booker T in a fine wrestling match. John Bradshaw Layfield rebounded from his defeat at the Royal Rumble from the useless Boogeyman by bringing an end to Bobby Lashleys undefeated streak. All be it with a little help from that nasty Irishman Finlay.Anyone hoping for a Hardy Boys reunion in the tag team match were disappointed to find Matt Hardy's mystery opponent was only Tatanka. Geeze, send this guy back to the early 90's where he belongs. MNM once again showed why they are the best team in WWE even at the hands of defeat.And finally in the opening match of the evening Gregory Helms had to defend his Cruiserweight Championship against not one, not two, not even three but nine other men in a sudden death type battle royal. The match was good but with so many men it was hard to keep track of and should have been booked better. Helms retained the Championship.No Way Out 2006 was one of the better offerings by WWE in recent years. A excellent main event and a strong undercard proved Smackdown! may be the show to watch once again in 2006.

No Way Out 2006 was without a doubt, the best No Way Out ppv in years. Both an impressive undercard and an amazing main event easily make this the best pay per view so far this year. The Cruiserweight Match was great and a perfect opener- So many high flying moves, so many bumps... Great ending as well. Helms retains the title. 4/5. Lashley vs. JBL was a lot better than expected, both men were impressive in this match and the crowd were really rooting for Lashley. Finlay's interference at the end helps JBL get a cheap victory and finally end Lashley's impressive winning streak.3/5. MNM vs. Matt Hardy and Tatanka (his secret partner) was a good match, but it's only at the end that we find out it was a non-title match, a lot of people actually thought we had new champions. 3/5 Chris Benoit vs. Booket T was a great match. These guys always put on a good show. Benoit wins with the cross-face and becomes the new US champion! As Booker T leaves the ring, the crowd chant 'You tapped out'. 4/5 Randy Orton vs. Rey Mysterio was another great match. But Randy wins? Why? Anyway, great match. Mysterio was amazing as always. Orton wins with a cheap roll-up after Rey misses the 619. 4/5.Kurt Angle vs. The Undertaker - World Heavyweight Championship match. Wow. I mean... wow. This was superb, Angle and Taker worked so well together. So many highlights, like the angle slam on Taker through the announcers table for example. Wow. Taker was so close at the end, only to have his Tombstone reversed somehow into an ankle lock, and at the finish being rolled up by Angle. Truly amazing. Before this match, No Way Out 06' was above average, this main event made it unmissable. Match - 5/5.No Way Out 2006 over all was really good. Best No Way Out in years and it certainly topped this years dreary New Year's Revolution and disappointing Royal Rumble. And what a main event...

This No Way Out really delivered. The main event was superb and the return of Tatanka brought back fond memories for this writer. Last years No Way Out was passable but the past two PPV's for 2006 (Royal Rumble and New Years revolution) were just awful so the guys had to work hard at this event.Results from the show: John 'Bradshaw' Layfield defeated Bobby Lashley in a passable match. Matt Hardy and Tatanka defeated MNM in a non title match in a decent brawl. Chris Benoit defeated Booker T in a good match to win the United States Championship. Gregory Helms defeated Kid Kash, Scotty 2 Hotty, Psicosis, Super Crazy, Nunzio, Paul London, Funaki and Brian Kendrick to retain the Cruiserweight Championship. Randy Orton defeated Rey Mysterio to earn a shot at Kurt Angle's WWE Championship at Wrestlemania 22. Kurt Angle defeated The Undertaker in a superb 30 minute main event to retain the WWE Championship.Overall Grade - B+
