Summary: The Return Of Stone Cold Steve Austin!
Review: WWE No Way Out 2003 is solely remembered for the return of the man that changed the face of the business forever: Stone Cold Steve Austin. While his return match wasn't great, or even good, it was a great moment. Other matches on the card are pretty good, but there's nothing that really stands out, because this pay per view is only here for one purpose, and that is to build up Wrestlemania 19. Below are a list of the matches and how I would rate them on a scale of 5 stars.Chris Jericho vs Jeff Hardy
These two were in the opening match, which was actually pretty damn good. Not surprising, since both men are awesome. As always though, Jeff looked like he was not giving it his all. Overall, a solid match and a hot opener. ***1/2 World Tag Team Championship
Lance Storm & William Regal vs RVD and Kane
A good tag match. These four put on some really good matches, since they've been in the ring 457 times together. Still, a good match and a good tag match to have feature the Raw Tag Titles. *** Undertaker vs Big Show
Slow and boring. I knew before this match even happened that it would turn out to be the worst match of the night, but that wasn't really the case since Steinr/HHH is pretty horrible also. Bad match though. But I can't really expect anything special from the Big Show and the Undertaker is definately not a mat technician. 1/2* Cruiserweight championship
Billy Kidman vs Matt Hardy
This match was probably the best match one of the night. Maybe even better than the Team Angle/Lesnar & Benoit match. A really spectacular match with two guys that can definately keep the crowd hot for more than 15 minutes. ****1/4 World Heavyweight Championship
Triple-H vs Scott Steiner
After Steiner's horrible performance at the Royal Rumble, I still wonder why he got another title shot at the next pay per view. This definately did NOT deserve a spot on the card. Again, this match was way too long and again, very boring. About the same as their match at the Rumble. HHH is supposed to be portraying a heel, but since Steiner sucks so much, he is way over here. 1/4* Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Eric Bischoff
The Bell Centre ERUPTED when Steve Austin's music hit. This was probably the loudest ovation I've heard. It wasn't much of a match, but it was a great and historic moment that will always be remembered. Austin just kicked Bischoff's ass for a good ten minutes. As for the rating, I'll give it ** for the beatdown that Austin delivered. 3 on 2 Handicap match
Team Angle vs Brock Lesnar & Chris Benoit
A good match, with some really good talent. How can something with Angle, Lesnar and Benoit not be good. Benjamin and Haas definately did not suck too. A really good match. I was really looking forward to see Angle and Lesnar get it on here but that didn't end up happening. Whatever, the match didn't disappoint. **** The Rock vs Hollywood Hulk Hogan
Worse than their WM 18 match. Slow paced match, but you can't expect anything better because Hogan sucks. Yet again, there's a Montreal "Screwjob". * All in all, this isn't a really great ppv, but it isn't that bad either. It's purpose was to build up Wrestlemania 19 and that's what it did. The World Heavyweight Title match was really bad and Rock/Hogan 2 was definately a disappointment. As for the rest of the card, it was pretty solid. The biggest highlight has to be Steve Austin's return as the roof the Bell Centre came off when he came out. You have to hear it to believe it.

Summary: Good Lead Up to Wrestlemania
Review: No Way Out is usually a decent event as it leads up to Wrestlemania and serves as a hype center. This year was no exception. Jeff Hardy vs. Chris Jericho-This would prove to be Jeff Hardy's last match in the WWE for quite a while and man was it exciting. Jericho shows how good he is by feuding with practically the entire RAW roster. He goes back to his high flying cruiserweight WCW days and doesn't look back. Jeff Hardy manages to put on his best match in recent memory. A good opener and a solid match. 8 out of 10 stars. William Regan and Lance Storm vs Rob Van Dam and Kane for the World Tag Team Championship-Lance Storm and even RVD to some extent are two of the best athletes that the WWE has. But even they cannot save this match. William Regal does absolutely nothing for me. The last match I can remember him having was against Austin and that was just him getting beaten down. Crap match with a crap ending. 6 out of 10 stars. Matt Hardy v.1 w/Shannon Moore vs Billy Kidman for the Cruiserweight Championship- The Crusiwerweight Championship is only on PPV when it changes hands. The last time was Survivor Series when it changed hands from Jamie Knoble to Billy Kidman and now it's Billy Kidman passing it on. Good to see Matt Hardy getting a push and good to see him holding a title that's not with a partner. Decent match. 7 out of 10. The Undertaker vs The Big Show w/Paul Heyman-The Undertaker finally gets his hands on The Big Show after Show put Taker on the shelf for three months. An entertaing match and a match that shows that the Undertaker can still go. The leap over the rope on to The Big Show and A-Train gets the adrenaline pumpping everytime and reminds us that we are still watching a legend at work. 9 out of 10. Brock Lesnar and Chris Benoit vs Team Angle(Kurt Angle, Charlie Haas, and Shelton Benjamin)-This was originally supposed to be a six man tag match, but Edge was taken out backstage and Lesnar and Benoit decided that they would make this a handicap match. It would have made sense for Team Angle to win, but since Lesnar and Benoit decided to go it alone it must be a portent that they would win. A solid, techinical wrestling match that was really only hampered by it's outcome. How many times is Lesnar going to get the better of Kurt Angle before Wrestlemania? 7 out of 10 stars. Scott Steiner vs HHH w/Evolution(Batista, Orton, and Flair) for the World Heavyweight Championship-People feel the need to criticize the Steiner/HHH matches and while they might be justified some of it it unwarranted. Sure neither of them are good matches, but people nit pick at every little detail to make them seem worse. This match is better than the Royal Rumble match, but with that said this isn't Bret Hart and HBK. Nothing spectacular, but nothing totally horrible. 6out of 10. Eric Bischoff vs Stone Cold Steve Austin-This match marks Austin's return to the WWE since his walk out the previous summer and what better way to return than against his former boss. The match itself is awesome just for it's entertainment aspect. Austin does not appear to have lost anything and play to the crowd like the Austin of old. Bischoff had no chance of winning like anyone even cares, yet he manages to "kick out" of a couple pinning situations. Like I said this match rules for the entertainment values(i.e. watching Bischoff get massacred). 9 out of 10. The Rock vs Hulk Hogan-Part 2:Hollywood vs Hollywood-This also marks the Rock's return and somewhere between here and last year's Summerslam The Rock decided that the fans had turned against him. He returns sporing a new bald head and an even more impressive new tattoo. The match itself was nowhere near as good as their Wrestlemania X8 match, but it was still good. Sets up Vince and Hogan at Wrestlemania and to a small extent Austin and The Rock. 7 out of 10 stars. The DVD itself contains some cool extras including Austin's return to RAW that took place the night Vince made the Bischoff/Austin match and the confrontation between Hogan and The Rock on Smackdown. A good ppv with some exciting matches.

Summary: Not A Bad Set Up For WrestleMania 19
Review: This edition of No Way Out wasn't great but it wasn't bad either. Let me start from the beginning of the card: Jeff Hardy Vs. Chris Jericho - A surprisingly good match considering that Y2J has gotten the better of Hardy in the past. Good exchanges and cadence to the match. Jericho was decidedly cheered though he was a heel (this PPV was in Canada and Jericho is Canadian) but the crowd also gave Hardy his due as well. RVD/Kane Vs. Lance Storm/William Regal - WWE "RAW" World Tag Team Championship This match was pretty much one sided until Storm pulled off an illegal but smart move on Kane. I won't give away what it was but it was "simple but effective." Great exchange between RVD and Storm which was a throwback to their matches in the old ECW. Billy Kidman Vs. Matt Hardy w/Shannon Moore - WWE Cruiserweight Championship As typical, the cruiserweights put on a good show. Not great but it definitely didn't suck. The ending of this match has to be one of the more "face cringers" I've personally have ever seen (Face Cringers means moves that make you go AHHHHH!) Chris Benoit & Brock Lesner Vs. Team Angle (Kurt Angle, Sheldon Benjamin, Charlie Haas) With the combined experience and pure wrestling talent of Angle, Benjamin and Haas, you'd think it would be impossible for even THREE men to beat them much less two but if any two men could beat them it is Benoit and Lesner! This match wasn't too flashy but a lot of holds and counter holds and awesome suplexes and slams! Undertaker Vs. The Big Show Slow, boring match but it DID reveal a new style to the 'Taker as he displayed more submission type holds during this match. Scott Steiner Vs. Triple H - "RAW" World Heavyweight Championship While it is an improvement from their Royal Rumble encounter, it still sucks! Steiner isn't the Scott Steiner from 10 years ago when he combined power and agility. He isn't even the Steiner from WCW just a 2 short years ago when he went to brute power and intensity. HHH, on the other hand, isn't the same man that once gave consistently good matches with The Rock, Steve Austin or Mick Foley. He hasn't been the same since his quad injury (though I give him props for having the guts to come back at all from that injury). Anyway, it isn't that great. Stone Cold Steve Austin VS. Eric Bischoff CAN YOU SAY TOTAL ELIMINATION!? Bischoff wasn't even close to beating Austin! Even Vince McMahon did better than Uncle Eric! In a nutshell, Austin slaghters Eric Bischoff! The Rock VS.Hulk Hogan Nowhere near the classic that their WrestleMania 18 encounter was though The Rock in full heel persona DID make it watchable! To quote Vinnie Mac, "THERE'S NO CHANCE IN HELL" and there certainly was no chance in hell of Hogan winning that night! This was a great set up for Vince Vs. Hogan at WrestleMania 19 the following month. Overall, pretty good card. I'd get it if for no other reason than to have a backstory to WrestleMania 19.

Summary: a real dud
Review: this no way out has to be one of the worst ppvs in history matches from botom to top probably the only good match here is the jericho hardy you can tell that those two worked ... The steiner vs triple h was a horrible match triple h was injured and steiner kept doing the same moves so save your money like I said the only two good matches is hardy and jericho and austin and bischoff because it's funny to see bischoof get is ... kicked but like I said don't buy this save your money it's not worth it.

Summary: Ok, but i've seen better!!!
Review: -Jeff Hardy vs Jericho
Good opener, i really enjoyed this one, both superstars performed well throughout,with good offence from both, the crowd were good also. 7.5/10 RAW Tag Team Titles
-RVD/Kane vs Storm/Regal
This was O.K, but i have seen better from these guys. The crowd were into it again, the best performance coming from RVD. 6.5/10 Cruiserweight Title
-Kidman vs Matt Hardy
The match was quite gd, but the cruiserweight division is exteremley interesting and exciting, but these two guys didn't show it. Mattitude is boring, the Hardyz toghether were better, no more TLC! NO! What will happen when Lita returns? ... 6/10 -Taker vs Show
Two big guys figthing it out, they always seem to wrestle well against each other, however this wasn't good! Crowd were vey quiet, the ending was poor! A-Train was involoved, ... 5.5/10 -Team Angle vs Lesnar/Benoit
Originally Edge should have been involved, but he gets attacked! The match was good, but i would have liked to have seen the title on the line instead or the tag titles. I don't like Lesnar as a face, he is better as a heel! Angle is the best wrestler in WWE, ... However, he doesn't show he is any good in this. 7/10 World Heavyweight Championship
-HHH vs Steiner
The crowd were behind the game all the way through. The match at Royal Rumble was boring, but this was a better beginning, middle and end, however way too short. 7/10 -Bischoff vs Austin
Finally Austin returns, and better than ever. Crowd, as well as me enjoyed this, of course it was all AUSTIN! Several stunners to Bischoff, ..., you'll like this. 7.5/10 -ROCK vs HOGAN II
This was way too short, but in the time it had, it was good, but not as good as wrestlemania X8. The ending i really enjoyed, i love the ROCK as a heel, he is so funny, HOGAN of course was good, and i enjoyed this. 8/10 Looking back at this event, it was good, though i have seen better! It is worth seeing! The ROCK/HOGAN match was the best, and made this event good. All in all i give it a 7.5/10
