I read Helms has been eliminated...there will be a new Cruiserweight champ(sadly I care about that title more than the US Title at this point)

I'm reading it's Yang vs Chavo right now.

Yang won the match, but Chavo came out to enter the Cruiser Open.

New Cruiserweight Champion: Chavo Guerrero

Re: ***Smackdown No Way Out 02/18/07 Discussion Thread***

Chavo's the new champ.

With Rey returning this Friday, I'm guessing it'll lead to another Chavo v. Rey fued, this time for the Cruiserweight title.

I figured Helms would lose the title soon, but I'm kinda disappointed how they did it. They did a horrible job booking his reign, it's sad when someone holds a title for a year-plus yet there's nothing about it that really stands out. I guess that also has something to say about the current state of the Cruiserweight division. Hopefully Helms doesn't get buried now that he's dropped the strap

I would love to see Helms go for the US title next. He's got the look and charisma to go further than the cruiser division.

Finlay & Little Bastard vs. Boogeyman & Little Boogeyman

Agreed.

I think they should have either had Helms lose the title to JWY at Armageddon, or at least continue that fued into tonight's PPV. Going into Armageddon, JWY had momentum and was getting somewhat over with the crowd, plus the two of them put on a hell of a match that night(even if it was crapped on by the fans). Plus, it would have made Helms look stronger, instead of what they've done with him since(had him lose to Batista & Daivari, almost lose to S2H, and be eliminated before the finish of the Cruiserweight invitational).

I also think Chavo should have won the title off Benoit when they were fueding. Benoit has no use for a mid-card title, whereas Chavo was starting to get over and it may have been the final push he needed to get over. The cruiserweight title does nothing for him, he's been there, done that.

Random fact, Chavo's won the CW title on three of the past four No Way Outs.

Finlay and Little Bastard win haha

Re: ***Smackdown No Way Out 02/18/07 Discussion Thread***

Finlay & Little Bastard vs. Boogeyman & Little Boogeyman

Finlay pins Little Boogey for the win.

Sounded like an entertaining match


Kane v. King Bookah next

I like your points. They build Helms up like this and then they make his lose the title in the match which is good for when they have nothing for the cruisers on the PPV so they have a Cruiser Open.

The backstage girl has to go. She's worse than Leticia. She's messed up 3 times already. Like she doesn't know when she's on the air. LOL!!! at HBK rolling his eyebrows trying to initiate it's time that she ask him a question. I didn't care much for the cw match. They had like 7 matches in a 15 minute span. Thank god Helms reign is over though, all he's done for the past year is lose non-title matches. The tag match with Finlay/Boogeyman was atrocious. Not even worth commenting on.

Enjoyed the opening match though. Next to the main event, it will probably be the best of the night. Hopefully Benoit is back for another big push. I'm sick of seeing Hardys/MNM though.

Hey Candy, are you still picking up Arena this week?

Hey Heat......Yeah, I'm still buying Arena this week. I hope that it's better than last years and thats all I'm asking. lol!

Re: ***Smackdown No Way Out 02/18/07 Discussion Thread***

I totally forgot the PPV was going on:


Kane beat King Booker
London & Kendrick beat Deuce & Domino.

Bobby Lashley vs. Mr. Kennedy is going on right now.

Well, this PPV has gone down the tubes. I can't believe they only gave the tag title match 7 minutes. Not good. I'm more interested to see how long the pause is between when they go backstage and Krystal starts talking.

Anyways, I'm probably picking up Arena as well Candy. I hope it's good.
