jts0405 We take a look and analyze the final New Years Revolution event for WWE.Match 1: Jeff Hardy (c) vs Johnny Nitro for the Intercontinental Championship in a Steel Cage match - Another good one from these two. They put on some good matches during their feud that lasted 2006-2007. Overall some very nice spots in this cage match. Jeff was extremely over with the crowd and got a major reaction. The finish was very well done as Jeff Hardy escapes the cage to retain the Championship.Match 2: Cryme Tyme vs The Highlanders vs The World's Greatest Tag Team vs Jim Duggan & Super Crazy vs Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch in a Tag Team Turmoil match - A match added to fill the time, if I must put it simply to you. We see teams like The Highlanders, The World's Greatest Tag Team and Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch that could have been so much more than they were. Then we have a team like Jim Duggan & Super Crazy that makes you scratch your head in confusion. The match was overall a 20 minute waste. In the end Cryme Tyme gets the win.Match 3: Ric Flair vs Kenny Dykstra - I understood that WWE was trying to push Kenny, but Ric Flair is quite possibly one of the greatest names in wrestling history. The man is a 16 time World Champion, he has competed at the grandest stages in both WWE & WCW, but at this event he was paid to overall job to a former male cheerleader. The match was just a waste of time. In the end Dykstra gets the win over Flair, a complete miss. They didn't even end up pushing Kenny anyway.Match 4: Mickie James (c) vs Victoria for the Women's Championship - Both women are extremely hot, and can wrestle. This match was what it was, and was good for what it was. Maybe not the best match these two have ever put out, but still a decent mid card match. In the end Mickie retains her title after pinning Victoria.Match 5: Rated RKO (c) vs D-Generation X for the World Tag Team Championship - The match of the night. Edge & Orton really worked well together for the short time that they were a team. DX was well over with the crowd and got an ever bigger pop than dare we say... John Cena. The match was really good and showcased all four of Raw's top talents. Towards the end Triple H hits a spinebuster on Orton and suffers the knee injury that kept him out until SummerSlam. The match ends in a no contest, which the fans hate. Even though the ending wasn't clear cut, it was still a very good tag team match.Match 6: Carlito vs Chris Masters - This feud we have seen drag on from early 2006 is still going. Remember when Carlito faced Masters at Backlash 2006? Well they dropped the ball and just randomly picked up the feud again for this match. It wasn't the greatest and in the end Masters is able to defeat Carlito. As far as I know, this was the last match these two had against each other.Match 7: John Cena (c) vs Umaga for the WWE Championship - At this point in his title reign, Cena wasn't nearly as annoying as he was by the end of 2007. At this point Umaga had been undefeated since debuting in the WWE, and it was booked like Umaga was going to beat John Cena for the WWE Championship and continue going undefeated. Well the fans weren't really into Umaga, but Cena got the massive mixed reaction that he always gets. The match was fairly decent, Cena has some wrestling ability. In the end he pins Umaga and retains the WWE Championship. Ending the winning streak of Umaga in the process.
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
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!!
Stuart Wilson WWE started of 2007 with a strong pay-per-view offering by recent standards. The Kemper Arena was the scene for one of the more intriguing main events of late. John Cena was headlining the show putting the WWE Championship on the line against the undefeated Samoan Bulldozer, Umaga. Add a little Cage match for the Intercontinental title, one hell of a grudge match for the Tag Team titles and a "Kill Bill" style storyline for the Woman's Championship and things were looking good for the fans in Kansas City.Like Armageddon, New Years Revolution opened on a gimmick match. The Steel Cage was lowered for the battle between Johnny Nitro and defending IC Champion, Jeff Hardy. The match was as good as to be expected with a lot of high risk and highflying manoeuvres which went back and forth. The cage wasn't really used much to injure either man; it was more used as a piece of furniture for them to jump about in. The ending came when Nitro, who was trying to escape over the cage, fell crotch first onto the Cage door as Hardy made his exit. I don't think this feud is over yet.A bonus match was next on the cards. A Tag Team Turmoil match for the No 1# contendership to the Tag Team Championship. The action was good when Haas and Benjamin were in the ring but failed and seemed to drag on once Murdoch and Cade eliminated them. Before their elimination Haas and Benjamin eliminated The Highlanders and Hacksaw and Super Crazy. It was Cryme Tyme who entered last and that advantage gave them the win.Ric Flair lay down for Kenny Dykstra in match 3. This was an average match to say the best. WWE is obviously grooming Kenny for big things. Dykstra used the low blow and small package to do away with Flair. I also need to point out that Flair looked ancient in this match.Victoria was unsuccessful in her attempt to take the Woman's Championship from Mickie James. This was a good match that was mainly in favour of Victoria. Melina tried to get involved towards the end but out came Maria and Candice Michelle to stop her. Mickie picked up the win with a bulldog. After the match all the divas that Victoria had done away with over the past six weeks celebrated with the Woman's Champion. Nice touch.Match of the night honours goes hands down to the bloody battle for the Tag Team Championship. In a math far more superior to any DX battle since their reunion they went to a non-finish with Edge and Randy Orton. This was fast paced, exciting, brutal and just down right nasty. It should also be noted that HHH injured himself seriously in this one. We can only hope that the leg injury he received will not keep him out of the ring for too long. Orton, Edge and HBK all bled heavily in this match.Chris Masters defeated Carlito in a good match but the crowd really weren't into it straight after the bloodbath before it. Masters won with a handful of tights. I don't know why WWE want to push Masters over Carlito.Then came the main event. Another physical championship match this time between Cena and Umaga. This match was all Umaga; Cena played the role of the human crash test dummy brilliantly. He made Umaga look like a monster in this one. Credit to WWE. It would have been easy for them to make this go to a double dq or count out to keep both the steak alive and the title on Cena, instead they did the right thing and Cena stole the win after moving out of the bulldozers way and pinning him 123 with a cradle.So 2007 is up and running and it got of to a pretty good start. All the matches were as good as could be expected or as was the case in the main event, much better than what we could have hoped for. Hopefully they will take this momentum into the Royal Rumble on January 28th.ResultsJeff Hardy d. Johnny Nitro (Intercontinental Title/Steel Cage Match) 6.5/10 Cryme Tyme d.
