[7.0] "A very solid PPV with some good matches and a great Chamber match to end on. In my opinion ever match was a decent match with my only low points being the first chamber match I wasn't too fond of it, it was good enough but nothing particularly interesting and was carried by Taker and Batista as they were the only real contenders. I enjoyed Edge vs Mysterio for what it was and I thought was actually quite good given the unfortunate circumstances of Rey's Injury. The real standout which carried my rating up from 6 to 7 was the main event Chamber match which was excellent. Overall a solid show with a very strong finish."

[6.0] "Solid show but it was pretty much carried by the elimination chamber matches. The non chamber matches were all pretty mid. The main event is extremely underrated and one of my favorite elimination chamber matches ever."

[6.0] "The highlights of the show take place where they belong, namely in the Elimination Chamber. Although this doesn't happen at the highest level, both matches have their moments, and the first one in particular has a uniquely voluminous field of participants. I'm happy for the Undertaker's success, but for me personally, things look very different for Triple H. Given the talent of the two opponents, I find the opener too bland, the Flair match too predictable, and the other two title matches either significantly below their potential or too bloodless. Or both. But inn the desert there's nothing to really complain about here, so I think six solid points is justified."

[6.0] "I really don't understand how this PPV has such a high rating? The only great match was the Elimination Chamber main event and Orton vs Cena was quite good. Chavo vs CM Punk, Ric Flair vs Mr. Kennedy, and Edge vs Rey Mysterio were point blank bad. The first chamber match was very boring, very predictable and no rememberable moments other than the choke slam to MVP from the top of the pod and the tombstone piledriver reversal finish was a thing of beauty. The Hornswoggle spot was fun but other than them three moments, very boring. Ric Flair with back to back terrible PPV matches and this one was someone worse than his match vs MVP @ Royal Rumble. Very surprised he was still wrestling for this long. The main event was one of the best chamber matches I've seen and very rememberable. The Umaga elimination was sick and the finish was satisfactory."

[9.0] "Flair Vs Kennedy and Edge Vs Mysterio are both whatever and Chavo Vs Punk is only decent at best, but both the Smackdown elimination chamber match and Cena Vs Orton are real good and the Raw elimination chamber match is really spectacular. Overall WWE No Way Out (2008) is such a fantastic show."

[6.0] "this is a decent enough show that kept my intrest, some stinkers in there but for a 2008 WWE show this was quite enjoyable only one id prob rewatch is the RAW Chamber, chavo vs punk is fine pretty boring. the WHC chamber is okay enough big daddy v and khali werent rlly needed for it imo espically if u have umaga in a similar spot later in the night. flair v kennedy was boring. Cena v Randy has a cool ending that should be used more often in my opinion then the mainevent was good"

[6.0] "Another solid PPV, although once again nothing really stood out apart from the very enjoyable main event with a decent star power behind it and a fantastic babyface performance from Jeff Hardy. Edge vs Mysterio was the only underwhelming thing here, but that's mostly because of Rey's injury. The opener could have also been a little longer, but it wasn't bad, the first Elimination Chamber Match lacked in the star power department, but at least the work there was good and Batista with Taker had another one of their encounters, which were always great to watch. And then Flair had another decent match against Kennedy building up to his bout with Michaels, while Orton vs Cena had a great atmosphere and a clever finish, but the match itself had potential for something more. So all in all a decent show, they set up some feuds for Mania and still delivered some quality matches."

[5.0] "The two Chamber matches are what you're here to see, and that's it. Nothing else is really worth watching from this show. Kennedy vs. Flair and Chavo vs. Punk are decent but immensely forgettable affairs, and any momentum Cena vs. Orton was building is ruined by an awful finish. Both Chambers are very good, and will keep you engaged, but neither makes it into 'classic' territory for me. Overall an average show. Maybe just slightly above it if you have an optimistic view. You'll come back to this show for the Chamber matches, and even then, maybe not even both of them, and that's it. Hard to give the total package of the event a better rating with such a forgettable undercard."

[7.0] "This was a very effective set up for WrestleMania. Both Elimination Chamber matches delivered, and Cena vs. Orton is a surprisingly great match that gets very overlooked (likely due to the finish and being just before WrestleMania). The show also had a great, memorable segment with Mayweather and Big Show. Unfortunately the other matches are fairly bland which does hold the show back a bit, but they thankfully don't detract all too strongly since they are all fairly short and everything that got time was entertaining. I wouldn't really recommend watching the event in its entirety, but if you cherry pick the good parts then fans of the era will surely find something to enjoy."

[8.0] "No Way Out 2008 was the very first WWE ppv i ever watched and i still enjoy it this day. Honestly, Orton outsmarting Cena was cool but the triple threat at Mania was better match quality-wise. While the winner of both chamber matches were pretty obvious, i enjoyed both of them. The main is still in my top 3 chamber matches of all time. Chavos gear on this show is madly underrated by the way, thought i'd sprinkle that in. I can say whole heartedly this is still one of my fav ever ppvs and the show that got me into wrestling"

[6.0] "Satisfactory PPV. The Main Event was really good and The Big Show segment with Floyd Mayweather was awesome. The rest of the card is watchable."

[7.0] "The two elimination chamber matches are the matches you oughta go out and seek but everything else on the card is either too rushed or too slow. The ECW title match is eh, the Flair vs Kennedy match is probably the 3rd best of the night but nothing special with a painfully predictable winner, and the world title matches, my god. I know Rey was injured around this time but the World Heavyweight match is painfully by the numbers with a rehash of their Royal Rumble match ending to boot, and the WWE title match is a great example of Orton's CALCULATED METHODICAL STYLE at its worst. It starts to get good near the end until a f**king DQ finish, the third in the span of the last 5 PPVs. Age of Orton? More like Age of F**king S*t Title Match Endings. The Smackdown/ECW chamber match (Batista/Taker vs The Midcarders) is a weird one, go into it with low expectations and you'll come out pleasantly surprised, ignore that it's not on the match guide because it's a surprisingly good story carried by Batista and Taker beating the piss out of each other yet again and that's always fun. (I'd give it ***1/4) And of course the RAW Elimination Chamber is MOTN. (****)"

[7.0] "A fun card on the road to WrestleMania 24. Having two Elimination Chamber matches on the show was, at the time, a big deal, and both matches delivered the brutal mayhem you'd expect (the Raw EC match being decidedly the superior of the two). The World and WWE Title matches were mainly just build to the big event, with Cena and Orton going to a DQ finish and Edge vs. Mysterio being too short to amount to much. Flair and Kennedy was decent for what it was, though the result was never in doubt, and Chavo and Punk put on a good match for the time they were given (but probably could have done more with more time). Not a bad show, but it did mainly exist to build for the far-superior 'Mania event."

[2.0] "Don't really understand why this show has that high of a rating. The first chamber match was pretty awful and very boring. Taker was really the only believable wrestler to win. Edge Vs Mysterio and Chavo Vs Punk were both disappointing. Cena vs Orton was like there matches always are together. Boring. The main event was the only good match. 2/10."
