Bringing in the nWo was a bad idea., 25 February 2002
Author: mjohnson55 (mjohnson55@cinci.rr.com)

In the past, the WWF ppv shows have had their ups and downs, but bringing back the nWo was a plain stupid idea. Back in the mid 90's in WCW they were entertaining for a while, but then they just got annoying. Let's see how many versions of nWo were there? well, there was nWo hollywood (Black and White) Wolf pack (Red and Black) a more fan friendly version, and the short lived (Black and Silver) back in late 1999-early 2000. Now in 2002, the WWF has brought back the original 3 members portraying the original "Bad Guy" roles that they first had in 1996 in WCW, on paper this sounds interesting, but seeing them on television you realize that it's just recycled material that WCW had used 5 years ago (example Hogan saying how he's the biggest icon in wrestling, and he's the reason that everyone attends, and watches wrestling period.) granted Hogan is a big star, and he did his part in making wrestling what it is today, but many other more talented wrestlers did their part as well. On to the PPV the matches were for the most part good, except for the championship match. Chris Jericho is the worst champion the WWF has ever had. He only does a handful of moves over and over again, and it really brought the quality of the match down, and just like the Rock's match with him, Steve Austin carried the entire match. When is the WWF going to learn what WCW did, and that is this guy has NO TALENT what so ever that's why when he was in WCW Jericho never carried any major titles, he hurts the WWF by being it's champion beyond repair almost. Overall No Way Out was a good ppv showing by the WWF. If you're a fan, you might want to check this one out.

.....NWO?, 18 November 2003
Author: John V. (Prankster_57@hotmail.com) from North Carolina

Well this was one hell of an event. With one major disappointment and that being the NWO(New World Order) !

Tag Team Turmoil(Winners get a tag team championship title shot at Wrestlemania X8.

Hardy Boyz vs Dudley Boyz vs Christian & Lance Storm vs APA vs Scotty 2 Hotty & Albert VS Billy & Chuck.

This was a great match, with the winner(s) or the match to get a tag team title shot. Fast match, alot of high flying moves(thanks to the Dudleyz & Hardyz) We also get the pleasure to see the worm by Scotty to hotty! The APA ended up winning the match and will head to Wrestlemania X8 to fight with the champions at that time. I give this match a 6!

Goldust vs RVD

Slow match, and it didn't get any better whatsoever! Goldust and RVD both didn't try to put on a good match, this match was a big disappointment. RVD shows some high flying moves, hitting Goldust left and right. Alot of 2 counts in this match, but it just didn't live up to the Hype that was put on it. This was a very big disappointment, I am a big fan of RVD. Sry Rob, 3!

Tag Team Championship

Tazz & Spike Dudley vs Booker T & Test

The only thing that saved this match was RVD. That little SOB is crazy! He gets powerbombed and everything. Test in my view never puts on an entertaing match, but on the other hand Booker T did a great Job. Thanks to Spike & Booker this match gets a 8!

Brass Knuckles on a Pole WWF(WWE)Intercontinental Championship William Regal vs Edge

This was a pretty good match. Both man tried their best. William Regal got a long of boos when he came to the ring. He had a set of his own brass knuckles and got the win over edge to retain his IC championship shame! I give this a 5.

The Rock vs Undertaker

A very good match. Very faced paced match, these two are really great in the ring and it showed off tonight. I give this match a solid 9. This was a very good match, and one of the best matches on the card.

NO.1 Contender Match Triple H vs Kurt Angel Special Guest Referee Stephanie McMahon

Never trust a McMahon! This was a very entertaining match, Kurt & Triple H have very good chemistry in the ring. (one big pop in this match - the crowd starts to chant for Stephaine to take her shirt off, funny stuff)Triple H tries his best, but thanks to Steph he loses, and he gets no title shot at Wrestlemania. Stephanie gets knocked out early in the match, but comes back. The game lost. I give this match a 9.

World Title Match Chris Jericho Vs Stone Cold

Stone cold carries the whole match. Jericho was not that good in this match. I'm a big fan of chris jerico, then the NWO comes out and attacks Austin, but the ref is down! Chris Jericho is down also, but he gets up and covers stone cold for the 1. 2. 3 thanks to the NWO. I don't think Austin would have lost if it wasn't for the NWO. The NWO wasn't done though, they came back in, Austin fought as long as he could, but he couldn't hold them off. They beat the hell out of austin, and got the spray paint out and turned austin over on his back and put NWO on there. The Return of the NWO was shocking, expecially at No Way Out! I give this match a 7. Just because Austin had to carry the whole match and Jericho hardly got to fight. Damn you NWO!

Welcome Back Hulkster, 30 July 2002
Author: Big Movie Fan from England

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

(POSSIBLE SPOILERS)

Finally it happened. After an agonizing nine year wait, the mighty Hulk Hogan returned to the WWF...and brought his old NWO buddies along.

The matches on this card were decent enough; I particularly liked the match between Triple H and Kurt Angle. The Rock VS The Undertaker was also pretty good. The rest of the matches were decent.

However, it's the NWO that helped make this a great event. I must admit to being a very nostalgic person. Hearing the NWO theme tune at the beginning of the show brought back happy memories of me and my girlfriend sitting down to watch WCW Monday Nitro from 1996-1998 (The NWO's prime years). I was even more nostalgic about Hogan who I had watched as a wrestler since 1984.

Throughout the show the NWO bumped into the big stars. They gave a six-pack to Steve Austin who threw it to the floor. And in a brilliant skit, The Rock sort of humiliated the NWO by making fun of their previous WWF careers (Scott Hall had been Razor Ramon and Kevin Nash had been Diesel whilst Hogan had been one of those altruistic superheroes of the 80's/90's.)

Steve Austin battled Chris Jericho in an average main event and then the NWO showed up and handed him a beating. Memories of WCW circa 1996-98 came flooding back.

All in all, a great card that really shook things up for the WWF (now called WWE).

NWO Returns, 18 February 2002

Author: filmbuff69007

First off i have to say that most of the matches were fairly lame.But lets start with the good ones.William Regal made a First Class Heel in his Brass Knuckles on a pole match with Edge.The Rocks match against The Undertaker was better than one could of hoped And Rob Van Damn and Goldust was probably match of the night.now the stinkers Triple H and Kurt Angles end was signposted early and the fight was poor given there track records.the Tag Team Challenge Match was won By the worst Tag team in it.And the Snoozefest that was Chris Jericho and Steve Austin which consisted of Chop after Chop after Chop.Every move was repeated over and over.Thank Goodness For the NWO,and Rocks Little Send up was great.At the Moment the big title Match at Wrestlemania looks like being a major flop.Unless Hall Nash Hogan And Flair can Reclaim the glory days.

Return of the NWO!, 18 February 2002

Author: OzzyCash from Nashville, TN

The event started off with Hall, Nash & Hogan coming out to the ring and they talked some which was a great way to start off the event. The WWF really needs to change the way the guys wrestle it's kind of getting a little boring. There was a 6-team Turmoil Event which had a terrible team winning and the tag title match was decent. There was a triple main event and all 3 matches were just so-so, I don't know the WWF needs to change things up a bit. But the NWO showing up was great! The Rock made fun of them in the back which was hilarious!
