So, I am back after a long absence from typing ramblings onto this webpage for all of you to see. I can't really give any excuse other than I just haven't made time for it. But, I just got done with my school semester, so here's hoping some free time allows me to post more stuff on here. And I decided, what better way to come back then to start some "Retro Reviews", where I look back at wrestling events of yesteryear. To start it off, I watched WWE's No Way Out 2004, hailing from the famous Cow Palace in San Francisco, California. So, let's get into it, why don't we!
We start off this show with, of all things, recent
Playboy cover girls Torrie Wilson and Sable entering the ring to do an
introduction for the PPV. We will obviously get into
it a bit later in this show, but WWE really must have had a problem with
figuring out how to buy time for their Raw and Smackdown exclusive PPV’s. Not to mention, Sable, while
pretty and all, has an ungodly shrill voice. It’s a wonder anyone found it a
good idea to actually give her a microphone. This was ungodly bad, but it moved
into a very awesome video package that recapped the feud going into the main
event between Eddie Guerrero and Brock Lesnar. One of my favorite things about
looking back at old shows is seeing these retro hype videos that they would do
for PPV’s. They were always my favorite part about the lead-up to a show and
WWE really hasn’t matched the ones from this era, in my personal opinion. But
besides that, explosions happen, it’s Hugo Savinovich’s birthday, Michael
Cole’s tan is weird and we are on with the show.
