Professor Wrestling: 'No Way Out' Results

Mysterio, Orton Tangle For Title Shot

Listen up!

Class is in session.

Last night, World Wrestling Entertainment held its final pay-per-view before "WrestleMania 22." The show was called "No Way Out," and featured the "Smackdown!" crew. So what happened? Let's get to it!

Challenge Match: JBL vs. Bobby Lashley
What Should Happen: It's the heel cowboy versus the new monster bodybuilder. Lashley is undefeated, and should stay that way in this one. I smell interference from The Boogeyman.

What Will Happen: JBL is on a losing streak, and won't win here. Look for the Boogster to break things up.

What Did Happen: JBL prevailed, breaking Lashley's unbeaten streak.

U.S. Championship Match: Booker T (c) vs. Chris Benoit
What Should Happen: I'm not sure if Benoit is looking to leave WWE for TNA or not. If so, he should lose this match. If not, I'd book him to win. Booker needs to get into the world title hunt again, and leave this lesser title behind.

What Will Happen: I see Booker T taking it, likely with some help from his wife/valet Sharmell.

What Did Happen: Benoit got the pin, and the U.S. belt.

Challenge Match: MNM (c) vs. Matt Hardy and ???
What Should Happen: Hardy will name his partner at the PPV, who I think will be Road Warrior Animal. Should they win? Nope. But it could be the start of a nice tag team feud.

What Will Happen: MNM wins clean.

What Did Happen: Tatanka was Hardy's partner, as they beat MNM. Makes sense since it wasn't a title match.

Challenge Match: Rey Mysterio vs. Randy Orton
What Should Happen: This is for Mysterio's "WrestleMania 22" heavyweight title shot, which he won at the "Royal Rumble." I'd love to see Rey take on champion Kurt Angle for the belt at the big show, but rumor has it Orton will take that slot. A giant mistake, if you ask me. No one really cares about Randy Orton right now. Maybe later, but not right now. Let Mysterio have a run with a major title. As I've mentioned a zillion times before, since it's only wrestling and not brain surgery, why not give the fans what they want?

What Will Happen: WWE won't let Mysterio headline WM22. Orton will win.

What Did Happen: I wish was wrong about this one, but Orton won. Boo!!!

World Heavyweight Championship Match: Kurt Angle (c) vs. The Undertaker
What Should Happen: Boring. Why UT? Can't they come up with anything better? I'm not saying Taker can't deliver an entertaining match, but do I have to pay to see this? What should happen? How about Orton and Angle for this PPV and Mysterio and Angle at WM22?

What Will Happen: Angle will win due to Mark Henry's interference. This sets up a UT/Henry clash at WM22. Enjoy that one.

What Did Happen: After a pretty entertaining match, Angle pinned UT. It wasn't boring as I thought it would be, but I still felt as if I had seen it a million times. Oh well.

That's it. My "No Way Out" picks. For the record, just two right predictions out of five -- and no excuses -- I hit the big ones, as a genius would. I'm patting myself of the back right now. "Good work Prof," I told myself. "Good work."

Now scram!

Class dismissed!
