wrestlingsitewebmaster Another lame offering, NYR has been shoddy in 2005, 2006 and yes 2007. With the exception of one match (DX vs Randy Orton and Edge) the fans didn't care about matches like Kenny vs Ric Flair or the Tag Team Turmoil match.The DX vs Rated RKO match should have been the main event in my opinion not the John Cena vs Umaga match. Granted The Cena vs Umaga match was OK but could have been booked better.Results from the show: Jeff Hardy beat Johnny Nitro in a good steel cage match. Kenny pinned Ric Flair via a roll up in a lame match with a terrible finish. Cryme Tyme won the tag team turmoil match which also included The Highlanders, Super Crazy and Jim Duggan, Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin and Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch, fans popped for Chad's pinfall most probably they were relived this epic bore had ended not because it was a great match. Mickie James pinned Victoria in a decent match. Rated RKO and DX went to a non finish in a superb match when Triple H's leg gave way on him. Chris Masters pinned Carlito in a useless match. John Cena beat Umaga in a so so match to retain the title.Overall Grade - B/C

retroguy02 Jeff Hardy vs. Johnny Nitro for the IC championship - Nice match with both men getting to it, there was quite a hassle on the ropes even though the cage wasn't used that much until near the end… Nitro is climbing the outside cage wall and he's half-way near the cage's door; Hardy is inside the cage and just in the nick of time he kicks the door open and docks Nitro's crotch on the sill! Hardy then uses the door to get out of the cage and retain the title! Actually both men used good resourcefulness in this match. 8/10 (4 points of this just for the ending) Tag Team Turmoil for a World Tag Team Championship shot - Nothing too exciting for the match kind, just mediocre. Shelton & Haas work around with the Highlanders and Shelton finishes Robbie with a superplex. Jim Duggan & Super Crazy then also get eliminated this time by Haas – I wasn't quite paying attention when it ended. Trevor Murdoch & Lance Cade then end the World Greatest Tag Team after Cade whooped Haas from behind and allowed Murdoch to take the pin. Finally enters Cryme Tyme to perhaps the only cheer of the match. The thugs work it out nice until they clock a G9 on Cade and Shad picks up the pin to win the World Tag Team title shot. 7/10 Kenny Dykstra vs. Ric Flair – Nothing very wrong with missing this; Flair gets suplexed quite a bit and the two men exchange low blows pretty often. Kenny wins after a low blow followed by a cradle. 5.5/10Mickie James vs. Victoria for the Women's title – I always move over these things and so did nowRated-RKO vs. DX – Easily the most anticipated match of the night with gripping build-up, the dudes didn't fail to deliver. Michaels, Orton and Edge bled during the match and Triple H somehow injured his knee. Orton delivered two failed RKO's and Michaels even proceeded to knock out the referee and then battered Rated-RKO with chairs. Edge was given a Pedigree on the announcer's table while Orton got put through the Spanish table after a Michaels' elbow drop off the top rope!Interesting: sometimes one can clearly see that the chairs hit the guys' hands not the face still they were bleeding quite, especially Orton who actually took more deflected shots than Edge. The match ended in a no contest. 8/10 Carlito vs. Chris Masters – Why the hell is this promoted ahead of DX vs. Rated-RKO? Anyway an okay match with the men performing their styles. Carlito once again did some good aerials although Masters should really try something other than using sheer body. Masters won after grabbing Carlito's tights for the pin. Never mind Torrie. 6/10WWE Championship John Cena (c) vs. Umaga – First of all thanks God that the WWE decided not to use that Cena-Defies-All-Odds technique during this match. Cena for most of the time had difficulty with Umaga's size, and at a point even landed face-first on the mat after picking Umaga for an F-U. The match was laced up with some nice reversals and Umaga was quite versatile with his wrestling techniques. But of course it's a WWE match so Cena somehow wins after a ROLL-UP (that's right, a roll-up on Umaga) out of nowhere! 8/10Overall a very good card even if it didn't live up to Armageddon. Definitely not a bad way for the WWE to open up the year; the steel cage match and the main event were easily the best matches of the night even though the Rated-RKO vs. DX match should have had an appropriate ending (perhaps it was due to HHH's legitimate injury). The rest of the matches were in the mediocre-good range. PPV rating: 7/10.

jameslj-cannon Having ended on a high last year with Armageddon, the WWE have started 2007 with a bang. This years New Years Revolution was very enjoyable, with a couple of disappointing matches. The two big matches of the night didn't disappoint, which was a pleasant surprise. Well here are the results from this years NYR:Match 1:Steel Cage Match for the Intercontinental Title: Jeff Hardy vs. Johnny Nitro. I was quite surprised that this match would open the show, but it did so with a bang. There were plenty of high flying moves in this one, as Hardy and Nitro both put their bodies on the line. Brilliant ending to this match as well. Melina held the cage door shut so Jeff couldn't escape, while Nitro was climbing down the outside of the cage. Jeff kicked the door open, causing Nitro to fall and crotch himself on the cage door. Hardy escaped to retain the gold. Winner and still champ: Jeff HardyMatch 2:Tag Team Turmoil Match. This was a bonus match, in which the winners got a chance to compete for the tag titles. I wasn't particularly excited about this one and in fairness was a pretty average match. We started with The World's Greatest Tag Team and The Highlanders. The Highlanders were eliminated first. The next team in certainly caused some strange looks. It was Hacksaw Jim Duggan and Super Crazy. Before you knew it Benjamin and Hass eliminated them as well. Next in was Cade and Murdoch. They made light work of TWGTT and the last team in was Cryme Time. They won by pinning Cade for the 1 2 3. Average, nothing more. Winners: Cryme Time Match 3:Ric Flair vs. Kenny Dykstra. Having beaten Flair twice on RAW, Kenny came face to face with the Nature Boy again. This match was quite disappointing in my opinion. Back and forth action throughout this one, although the ending was quite crappy. Flair had Kenny in the corner, only for the youngster to hit Flair with a low blow. He then got Flair in an inside cradle for his third win against him. Winner: Kenny DykstraMatch 4:Women's Title Match: Mickie James vs. Victoria. A decent match between these two, although it was too short in my opinion. Again, it was back and forth action, but the tide turned when Melina interfered. Before the match, Victoria promised Melina that if she helped her win the title, then she would get the first title shot. However, Maria and Candice came down to the ring and stopped Melina before she could do any damage. Mickie won when she hit the psycho with her DDT finisher. Winner and still champ: Mickie JamesMatch 5:Tag Team Title Match: Rated RKO vs. DX. Well if I'm being honest with you, I wasn't sure what to expect from this match. Triple H made a guarantee on RAW that he and HBK were going to break bones and rip flesh. I didn't for a minute think that this was going to happen, but oh how wrong I was. This has to be the most violent tag team match I have ever seen. It started chaotically, with DX beating the hell out of Orton and Edge. When the action finally got in the ring, it wasn't long before the blood started to pour. HBK was speared to the outside by Edge and before you knew it, Orton nailed Shawn with one of the tag title belts, busting him wide open. The Game was finally tagged in by a bloody HBK, only to badly injure himself. He hit Orton with a Double A spine buster, only to tear his quadriceps muscle. It wasn't long before Michaels completely lost it. He knocked the referee out and then delivered two vile chair shots to the champs. Both Edge and Orton began to bleed like "Stut Pigs" as JR would say. The Game was somehow able to carry on, and Pedigree Edge on JR and King's announce table. HBK then hit an unbelievable elbow drop on Orton, through the Spanish announce table (as always). The best tag team match in the last few years by a mile. Winners: No ContestMatch 6:Carlito vs. Chris Masters. This was a match that I was really looking forward to see. However, it turned out to be the worst match of the night. It only went on for about five or six minutes, which surprised the hell out of me. Highlight of this one was Carlito hitting Masters with a double springboard moonsault. Masters stole the match when he rolled up Carltio and grabbed the tights. The Masterpiece then locked Carlito in the Masterlock after the match. Hugely disappointing. Winner: Chris MastersMatch 7:WWE Title Match: John Cena vs. Umaga. A very entertaining main event. This is probably the most one sided WWE Title match I have ever seen. The monster from Samoa dominated the champ throughout the match. I was praying that we were going to have a new champ, but what do I know, as Cena stole the win. Umaga was about to hit Cena with the Samoan Bulldozer, only for Cena to counter, and for the second NYR main event in a row, roll up his opponent to retain. Winner and still champ: John CenaWell this was a very good effort by RAW, with two or three brilliant matches on offer. Next up is the Royal Rumble, which always excites me. Only three or four weeks to go. Can't Wait!!

tonyThespio Lets just get to the point Nitro vs. Jeff Hardy; steel cage match surprising opener: ropes were used a lot while the use of the steel was somewhat neglected, there was a dropkick from the rope here, and a leg sweep on the rope there, and even a sunset flip from the top of the cage. Melina kept hitting Hardy with a belt, kinda funny. Finally: Nitro gets his foot stuck in the door, Hardy kicks it open and Nitro ends up landing on his grapefruits on the cold steel. 7/10Bonus Match: tag team turmoil: WOW IT IS SO...SOOO... stupid.Haas/Benjamin superplexes the Highlanders for the pin. Haas/Benjamin pins Duggan/Super Crazy by a German suplex...what the hell? Cade/Murdoch absolutely pounces on the butts of Haas/Benjamin and pins them with a elbow drop. Crime Time wins by a strange neck breaker like thing. It seemed promising, but very boring, trust me!! 3/10Announcement by Mr.Mcmahon: Tomorrow- Donald Trumph vs. Rosey o'DonnellKenny Dickstra vs. Ric Flair average back-forth battle and why does flair always gets suplexed on the outside floor? Flair slaps Ken silly again/again/again while hes trapped in the fig.4 leg lock. But... Kenneth kicks the old man in the balls and pins him... what a surprise... 4.5/10Mickie James vs. Victoria- the Micky-Vicky match Surprisingly good! Just a notch below the Stratus vs. Mickie quality match at wrestlemania. Mick wins by Micky D T (DDT) 6/10yeah! D-X vs Orton/Edgethe non-sugary side of frosted Wheaties is here! really good back forth match with a RKO over here and a spear over there and stuff like that. The end was scary- HBK kicks the hell out of Orton, uses himself as a missile, attacked the referee (wow)and both HHH and HBK hits the other 2 with chairs again and again and again and again. But thats not all folks! Egde gets a nice pedigree on the announcer table while Orton gets an elbow drop by HBK from the top turnbuckle! 8.7/10Chris Masters vs Carlito Don't seem too interested huh? Don't worry. 3/10Cena vs Umaga Umaga is such a hot head! But this fight doesn't disappoint. Cena falls after trying to lift Umaga, ha ha. Bodies fly all over the place and Cena lands on the floor at dangerous angles. Back and forth action keeps the viewer interested. That big tub of lard Umaga moves like a cruiser weight! Cena wins! How? Not by an FU, nor an STFU, but a roll-up. 6.5/10Let see. 3, 4, carry the 1,... according to by calculations, the overall is 4/10. But its the entertainment value that we must give credit to, so why not give a little boost, huh? 5.5/10 !!!
