A great event. One of the best WWE produced PPV's I've seen

Truly, I wasn't expecting much save for warm-up for the PPV before the legendary Wrestlemania XX, but this one on its own was spectacular when compared to the likes of Armageddon 2003 or Insurrextion 2003. I've never been a fan of Smackdown, but this one really impressed me.

Individually, most of the matches were good, but there were some exceptions.

WWE Tag Team Championship Handicap Match
Rikishi and Scotty 2 Hotty vs The Basham Brothers and Shaniqua
All in all, this wasn't a great match, but somehow these five managed to make it a good one. Shaniqua involved in the match was also interesting, as WWE treats its Women's division like it wasn't there, and she actually did some wrestling and got attacked by Rikishi. (6/10)

Jamie Noble vs Nidia
Seeing Nidia in Tough Enough really makes it hard for us to get into this gimmick of hers without a proper suspension of disbelief, but still, this match wasn't so much a match. Jamie Noble is blindfolded, and Nidia childishly kicks his butt from behind and taunts him. The ending was dissatisfying, but at least it was over quickly. (1/10)

A.P.A. vs World's Greatest Tag Team
Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin are great technical wrestlers, and Faarooq and Bradshaw are just brawlers. The way these two teams worked with one another was really impressive. (7/10)

Hardcore Holly vs Rhyno
Virtually nothing of this match was memorable. I can't remember anything good about this match except that it was short. This is the sort of forgettable match you don't want to see on a pay per view, like Goldust vs Rico at Insurrextion 2003. (0/10)

WWE Cruiserweight Championship
Rey Mysterio vs Chavo Guerrero
I read some other reviews saying this was a great match. I think Rey Mysterio in the WWE is like a bird with his wings clipped, if not cut off altogether. You need only to watch some of his legendary matches in ECW or AAA or WCW, versus such people as Psicosis, Dean Malenko, and Eddie Guerrero to understand his immense talent. With WWE's watered-down booking, he's literally like a bird without wings. Chavo isn't very good on his own either, and in the middle of the match, I literally nodded off, almost fell asleep, and came to some time later without remembering what had happened before. A boring match. (3/10)

#1 Contender's Match
Kurt Angle vs John Cena vs The Big Show
John Cena is a joke. Whoever on the writing staff decided this guy was worthy of WWE championship and holding it for months on end without losing should be fired, at the very least. Kurt Angle is an amazing athlete, and he works well with the flat dud Cena. Even The Big Show is impressive in his own right, and seeing Angle barely pull off Olympic Slams on him is a shocking sight. Cena was a useless addition, in my opinion, as the stars of this match were clearly Angle and Big Show. (8/10)

WWE Championship Match
Brock Lesnar vs Eddie Guerrero
This was the highlight of the night without a doubt. Brock Lesnar I had always thought to be a big, dumb, blank-faced thug so thickly muscled that he could barely move. Aside from the fact that I'm totally wrong about that, he and Eddie Guerrero put on a great match that lasted over half an hour. At first I was worried (since I knew Guerrero would win) that Lesnar was dominating Guerrero too much early on in the match, but there was another 20 minutes to go, and Guerrero really played the underdog great, and did enough damage to Lesnar to justify a victory. The only flaw in this was that Goldberg came out and gave Lesnar a spear, potentially cheapening the victory for Guerrero, but they went on for a while longer. Best match I've seen between these two so far. (10/10)

I have to add the Sunday Night Heat bonus match in the extras

Tajiri, Akio, and Sakoda vs Ultimo Dragon, Paul London, and Billy Kidman
A ten out of ten match. I can't believe this one was regulated to Sunday Night Heat and not included into the pay per view. I haven't seen this sort of teamwork between Tajiri and his gang than in any tag team since the Hardy Boyz. It was also the first time I've seen a triple dropkick before. Everyone here is a cruiserweight, technical wrestler or high flyer, and it works like freaking poetry. (10/10)

Absolutely one of the best pay per views I've seen from WWE in a while (not including WWF events). Solid performances all around, save for a few weak links.

A very good event from 04.

This ppv will mostly be remembered for the incredible main event that probably surpassed expectations. Without a doubt match of the night, it wasn't the only good match on the card. Two more definitly lived up to the hype.

WWE Tag Team Championship 3 on 2 handicapp
Rikishi & Scotty 2 Hotty vs. The Bashams & Shaniqua
A nice opener that did its job getting the crowd into the event. Shaniqua was actually used well here and her presence wasn't a waste at all. A couple of funny spots with a pretty good ending. 3/5

Jamie Noble vs. Nidia
I'm not crazy about intergender matches at all. But this one was interesting and had enough funny moments to watch atleast once. Noble was forced to wrestle Nidia blind folded. I normally don't care for wrestlecrap much less on ppv. But atleast the match did its job breaking these two up. 2/5

World's Greatest Tag Team; Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin vs. APA
Haas & Benjamin were a very interesting team. And I think this match does a fairly good job showing how much of a talent they were. This match was definitly better than what it should have been. Lots of hard hits and slams. Bradshaw sold his injury pretty well and this worked out. Very good tag match. 4/5

Around here, there's a pretty good segment that takes place between Goldberg and Brock Lesnar. It does a good job adding some suspense to the ppv.

Hardcore Holly vs. Rhyno
Not as bad as people say. But nothing memorable to it or any reason for fans to care. 2/5

Cruiserweight Championship
Rey Mysterio vs. Chavo Guerrero
These two rarely disappoint and this match is one of the good reasons to see this event. This match had alot. Interference, high flying, mat base wrestling, lots of near falls. My only small complaint would be the ending. 4.25/5

Triple Threat Match for #1 contender to WWE Championship at Mania
Kurt Angle vs. John Cena vs. The Big Show
All three men worked a very good match. TBS dominated for awhile and actually looked unstoppable. Cena & Angle got some one on one time as well. I really can't think of any reason not to like this match. The ending also worked out very well. 4.5/5

WWE Championship Match
Brock Lesnar vs. Eddie Guerrero
An excellent title match and worthy of being called Match of the Night. The build up and storyline coming into this match added to the drama. These two delivered some solid matbase and high impact wrestling. To include the ending continued a storyline that ended at Mania. Too bad the match at mania didn't deliver at all. 5/5

On a side note, I really do miss seeing Brock in the ring. Matches like this proves to me that he was the best young wrestler. WWE build from the ground up in a very long time. I still haven't seen a young face more deserving to carry that belt and headline ppvs.

The extras are worth mentioning because of the bonus match. For some reason this match was on Sunday Night Heat.
6 man tag team match
Akio, Tajiri, & Sakoda vs. Billy Kidman, Ultimo Dragon, & Paul London
Why this match wasn't added to the ppv is beyond me. It blows away most of the card and it didn't get alot of time. A very quick paced match with the cruiserweights doing what they do best. Look out for that sick three way drop kick. 4.25/5

To me, this ppv is worth a little more than a rental. If you have some spare cash around I recommend checking this out.

Eddie Guerrero Wins The Big One

From his beginnings wrestling during the intermission with his nephew Chavo in Mexico at age 9 to being Tiger Mask in Japan to wrestling infront of a sold out crowd in a bingo hall to being held down in a promotion because of politics to dealing & overcoming demons to becoming WWE Champion...this was Eddie Guerrero's biggest night in his career.

WWE Tag Team Champions Rikishi & Scotty 2 Hotty vs. Basham Brothers & Shanquia - This match was entertaining for me as it served it's purpose & get the crowd warmed up for the rest of the show. There really isn't much in the forms of great tag team wrestling but it's a match that served it's purpose.

Jamie Knoble (who's wrestling blindfolded) vs. Nidia - This match had some comedic spots but for the most part was just a boring filler match to get the onscreen breakup of them over with so Nidia can move to RAW the next month. This should have been on a PPV.

Hardcore Holly vs. Rhyno - This was another boring filler here as the match was really slow paced instead of it being a brawl which both men are best at.

APA vs. World's Greatest Tag Team - This was one of APA's better tag team matches as they did some good storytelling with Hass & Benjamin working on Bradshaw's arm & him actually selling it. Average match but it looks better than it was being in the position of the card that it was.

Crusierweight Champion Chavo Guerrero vs. Rey Mysterio - Out of all their series of matches this year...this was the best one they had. The crusierweight title was getting heavily pushed at this time so they were given plenty of time to go out there & tell a story in the match which worked out great & picked up the PPV with the live crowd.

Kurt Angle vs. John Cena vs. Big Show - All three men here put forth a good effort here to make this match worth wild. Show once again came off like a dominate monster instead of "Big Slow" as Cena & Angle worked on his at various times showing that he was THE THREAT in the match. Good storytelling by Cena as well as he was selling his bad knee that he got at the Rumble while Angle was in his prime during this match. Awesome triple threat.

WWE Champion Brock Lesnar vs. Eddie Guerrero - Match of the night right here as both men clicked & put on a great mat-based wrestling match with Brock just not being able to beat Eddie no matter what he throws at him. It's too bad Brock leaves a month later because I wanted to see a rematch between these two later on. Eddie didn't look inferior of the Lesnar & Goldberg did interfear very quickly but it doesn't take away from the end result of Eddie winning the championship & going straight into the people to celebrate. Eddie Guerrero finally won the big one.
(Also available on Eddie Guerrero's "Cheating Death, Stealing Life")

Overall, the best matches on here were the main events & the crusierweight title match as the rest of the card was either average to just plain boring. You can pick up the Eddie/Brock match on a DVD that has more quality matches so if your interested in the triple threat & crusierweight title match...I recommend for a rental or at a cheap price. Otherwise, I'd pass.

Eddie Guerrero becomes the man

No way out 2004 was the night when one man eddie guerrero realized his dream in by becoming champion.

match 1.ultimo dragon,paul london,Billy kidman vs tajiri,akio,sakoda
This match was action packed and full of excitement. These cruiserweights go all over the place and you on't know whats gonna happen next. The match was a little slow in the middle but all in all was a great way to start off no way out. 3.5/5

match 2. APA vs worlds greatest tag team
I"m not a fan of back to back tag team matches but this one was pretty good. This was true brutal wrestling and both teams deserve credit. the ending I thought was not good and really took away from this match. 2.5/5

match 3. Hardcore Holly vs rhino
If this match was a hardcore match it would've been a classic. Even though it wasn't these two put on a pretty good match. the ending was good and sealed the deal for the match. overall a good bout. 3/5

match 4.tag tiles handicaped match rikishi,scotty2hotty(C)vs basham brothers and shaniqua.
another tag team match whats the deal! However once again the match turns out to be good. scotty and rikishi are one of the best tag teams I've seen in a long time and really pick up this match. their were no high risks but the speed of the match never droped and the ending was good. 3.5/5

match 5. nidia vs jamie noble blind fold match
skip this match its horrible.0/5

match 6. cruiserweight title rey mysterio(c) vs chavo guerrero
this match was great all the way to the end. Both these men are great wrestlers and their chemistry is perfect in the ring. These two make it look so easy like their not even trying. The match itself is matbased for a crusier weight match, the only thing keeping this from a classic is the ending was terrible. The wrong man won. 4/5

match 7. Kurt angle vs john cena vs big show winner goes to wrestlemania
This match was terriffic. alot of high impact moves,good technical wrestling and just a good match. some people say that john cena is a horrible wrestler but he shows them wrong in this match. The ending is predictable but doesn't take anything awy from the match, solid performance. 4/5

match 8.wwe title brock lesnar(C) vs eddie Guerrero
One of the best matches ever. The dominant lesnar vs the underdog guerrero. This match was a good technical match for about the first 20 minutes were lesnar dominated. then guerrero started to take out lesnars legs. The last 15 minutes are classic wich included ref getting knocked out, interferance by goldberg, and a frog splash for the ages. This match was better than any one expected and is the reason you should by this video. viva la raza eddie. 5/5

the best NO WAY OUT! ever

overall ppv was about an6/10 8/10 apa vs. the worlds's greatest tag team: I was very suprised at how good this match was. Shelton Benjamin in particular was very good. He showed some very good athleticsm. Of course Bradshaw showed how powerful he was by powerbombing the hell out of Charlie Haas. But the turning point was when Shelton superkicked Bradshaw to pick up the win.

4/10 WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS RIKISHI AND SCOTTY 2 HOTTY DEFEND AGAINST BASHAM BROTHERS AND SHANIQUA: THIS MATCH WAS PREDICTABLE BECAUSE THIS MATCH COULD HAVE BEEN SEEN ON SMACKDOWN. OF COURSE THE CHAMPS END UP RETAINING THE THE TITLES. RIKISHI(ONLY PERSON WITH TALENT) WON THE MATCH WITH A BANZAI DROP.

AS THE PPV GOES ON GOLDBERG IS ESCORTED TO RINGSIDE TO SIT DOWN. PAUL HEYMAN THEN COMES DOWN TO INSULT HIM. THEN BROCK LESNAR COMES DOWN TO RILE UP GOLDBERG. HE SUCCEDS IN DOING SO. GOLDBERGS STEPS INTO THE RING AND JACKHAMMERS BROCK. HE IS THEN ESCORTED TO JAIL. 5/10 HARDCORE HOLLY VS. RHYNO: WASTE OF TIME. SKIP IT. HARCORE HOLLY WINS WITH ALABAMA SLAM.

2/10 NIDIA VS JAMIE NOBLE: THIS MATCH HAD EVERYTHING WRONG WITH IT. JAMIE NOBLE END UP WINNIG WITH AREVERSE DRAGON SLEEPER.

7/10 REY MSTERIO VS. CHAVO GUERRERO FOR CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP: REY MYSTERIO WAS AMAZING AS ALWAYS WITH A NUMBER OF MOVES OFF THE TURNBUCKLE. CHAVO AMAZED ME WITH HIS TECHNICAL SKILLS. CHAVO WALKS AWAY WITH SUPRISE WIN AND WITH CHAMPIONSHIP.

6/10 KURT ANGLE VS. JOHN CENA VS. BIG SHOW (WINNER BECOMES NUMBER ONE CONTENDER FOR WWE CHAMPIONSHIP):JOHN SHOWS OFF HIS BRUTE STRENGTH WHEN HE FUS THE BIG SHOW. THAT DOES NOT STOP KURT ANGLE FROM LOCKING IN THE ANKLE LOCK AND MAKING JOHN CENA TAP OUT.

10/10 WWE CHAMPION BROCK LESNAR DEFENDS AGAINST EDDIE GUERRERO: THIS MATCH WAS BRILLIANT. EDDIE DOES EVERYTHING TO PRY THE WIN AWAY FROM BROCK TO TAKE HIS TITLE. WHEN ALL DOES NOT WORK HE BREAKS OUT HIS TECHNICAL SKILLS. EVEN WHEN THAT IS NOT ENOUGH GOLDBERG COMES BACK AND SPEARS BROCK. IN THE END EDDIE DELIEVERS A FIVE STAR FROG SPLASH TO BROCK AND WINS THE TITLE. HE THEN CELEBRATES WITH THE FANS AND HIS FAMILY.(THIS MATCH IS A CLASSIC)
