Mike Reviews Shows Considered To Be Stinkers – WWF No Way Out 2002

Happy Stinky Friday Everyone!

I remember watching No Way Out 2002 back in the day and not especially enjoying it, and it has quite a few low scores over on Cage Match as well. However, it’s been a long time since I actually sat down to watch No Way Out 2002, so maybe it’s better than I actually recall?

The big story coming into the show was that Vince McMahon had brought the nWo in to kill the company. In addition to that, we’ve got the Main Event of WrestleMania X8 taking shape, with both the #1 Contender and Champion to be supposedly sorted out by the night’s end.

WWF No Way Out 2002 Card

The New World Order start out the show, with it being the original line-up of Hollywood Hogan, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash. They actually get the full nWo entrance, complete with the porn music, although it immediately feels like a more sanitised WWF version of the group, with the air of danger that the original version had not really being present. That was the biggest issue with the WWF version of the nWo really. In WCW they felt like a huge force of nature, but in the WWF they were just another Heel stable. Anyway, the gist of the promo here is that the nWo pretend that they are actually nice guys who just want to help the WWF, although no one seems to be buying it. They of course make light of Scott Hall’s issues with alcohol at one stage, carrying on that worrying trend from WCW. This promo segment was a bit meh to be honest, and I don’t know why they even bothered pretending that the nWo might be babyfaces, especially as by the end of No Way Out it was already revealed that the whole thing was a ruse. If they were going to tease it for a few weeks first then I could somewhat understand it, as a “are they actually babyfaces for real?” storyline could have been interesting, especially if they’d actually managed to get the crowd to buy it, at which point the nWo destroys an Austin or Rock for monster Heel heat

Opening Match
Tag Team Turmoil
The Hip-Hip Hippos (Albert & Scotty 2 Hotty) Vs Christian and Lance Storm Vs Billy & Chuck Vs The APA (Bradshaw & Faarooq) Vs The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray Dudley & D-Von Dudley) w/ Stacy Keibler Vs The Hardy Boyz (Jeff Hardy & Matt Hardy) w/ Lita

Winner of this one supposedly gets a WWF Tag Team Title match.

Session One
Christian and Lance Storm Vs The Hip-Hop Hippos

Christian had either started or was soon to start doing a gimmick where he’d lose and then throw a fit, with it eventually leading to DDP becoming his motivational mentor for a bit. They don’t have a lot of time to work with here, so it’s all action for the most part, and watchable as a result. Interestingly it’s Albert who gets briefly worked over, with Scotty being the one who gets tagged in. I think these two teams could have a genuinely fun match if they had 10-15 Minutes to work with. Scotty’s attempt to deliver the W-O-R-M to Christian is foiled by Storm and Unprettier gives Christian the win after 3 Minutes

Session Two
Christian and Lance Storm Vs The Hardy Boyz

The Hardyz had briefly split at the end of 2001, but they were now back as a team, with their proper split coming in the summer of 2002. This is another quick session, but the action is good and always entertaining. The crowd likes The Hardyz and reacts well to their signature moves. Storm ends up accidentally kicking Christian, which leads to no one being there to rescue Storm when he eats a Twist of Fate/Swanton combo soon after at 6 Minutes total match time

Session Three
The Dudley Boyz Vs The Hardy Boyz

They go immediately to Jeff getting cut off and worked over by The Dudleyz here, which makes sense as the Second Session essentially counted as The Hardyz’ shine, so now we can have Jeff getting beaten up for a bit in order to get the fans interested in a Matt hot tag. The Dudleyz look good on offence and Jeff sells everything well, with the crowd getting behind Jeff to make the tag. Matt’s hot tag segment is okay, although D-Von’s bumping is uncharacteristically sluggish at points. Keibler and Lita have our contractually mandated catfight, which the crowd enjoys, and that leads to Lita giving Bubba a rana and Jeff following that up with a dive to the floor on Bubba. Matt slips out of D-Von’s Saving Grace finisher and gets a roll-up for three after 11 Minutes total match time. However, The Dudleyz lay out The Hardyz following the decision, with Jeff taking a 3D out on the floor, leaving The Hardyz weakened for the next session.

Session Four
Billy and Chuck Vs The Hardy Boyz

Billy and Chuck make quick work of the outnumbered Matt, with Billy pinning Matt with the Fame-Asser after 12 Minutes total match time

Session Five
Billy and Chuck Vs The APA

So now we have the supposedly gay Heels taking on the gruff bar fighting babyfaces, which is just standard Pro Wrestling really. Chuck actually has pigtails here, just to really ramp up the Gay Panic going on I guess. The APA show their disdain for Billy’s alternative lifestyle by making him bleed hard way from the nose. Billy and Chuck work a brief bit of heat on Faarooq, but he shrugs that off and tags in Bradshaw, who ENDS Billy with a Lariat, with Billy taking the flip bump straight out of the first SmackDown game on the PlayStation for it. Total match time was 16 Minutes

WINNERS: THE APA
RATING: **1/2

Thoughts: This was a collection of quick watchable short matches. Not a classic by any means, but a solid enough match when you put everything together

Michael Cole is interviewing WWF Co-Owner Ric Flair, who isn’t buying what the nWo is selling. However, Undertaker comes over and confronts Flair, setting up their match for WrestleMania X8.

Match Two
“The Bizarre One” Goldust Vs “The Whole Dam Show” Rob Van Dam

Goldust had returned at the Royal Rumble and had become infatuated with RVD, setting up a match here at No Way Out. Despite kind of calling back to the 1996 version of the character with the infatuation and movie references, Goldust is at least wrestling like 2002 Goldust, as they start this one on the front foot with Goldust attacking RVD during his entrance and turning it into a brawl from the off. They seem to be having some timing issues though, with the work being a bit sloppy at points.

Goldust displays some decent intensity throughout, with them clearly trying to give him a bit of a harder edge than the more classic Goldust character of yore, with the theatrics and stalling being kept to a minimum. As Dustin Rhodes is a good wrestler, his offence is nicely executed and RVD bumps for it all well, but the match itself feels a bit disjointed. The crowd isn’t engrossed by the action taking place, but they don’t turn on the match either and RVD gets a decent amount of chants throughout the bout’s running time.

Goldust works some heat, slowing down the tempo a bit with multiple Camel Clutches. The crowd sticks with RVD through it all, with RVD eventually flooring Goldust with a kick for the double down before making a full comeback, that Goldust bumps around for well. The crowd continues to somewhat care, although they aren’t losing their minds for it either, with one of the bigger reactions coming when RVD kicks out of a Goldust DDT. The match settles into a tighter groove once they hit the finishing stretch, with the exchanges between the two being decently worked and RVD eventually winning it with the Frogsplash after 12 Minutes.

WINNER: ROB VAN DAM
RATING: **1/2

Thoughts: I always thought this was a really weird pairing back in 2002 and I still felt that here, as their characters and wrestling styles just did not mesh together at all. They were both putting the effort in here though and worked this at a good pace for the most part, but they had a few timing issues and just didn’t gel at all. Not a disaster or anything, but not especially good either. The crowd didn’t love it but they still cared about it, which meant it had some atmosphere at least

Stone Cold Steve Austin meets the nWo backstage, and the four share some stilted dialogue. The nWo has some beer for Stone Cole, but he doesn’t want it. I do like how the babyfaces on the show aren’t dumb about the nWo’s faux kindness at least, although the real nWo would have destroyed Austin where he stood if he’d insulted them in such a manner, highlighting again how this version of the nWo were essentially just a generic Heel faction and not the dangerous entity that they’d been in WCW

Match Three
WWF Tag Team Titles
Champions: Spike Dudley and Tazz Vs T&T (Test and Booker T)

Spike and Tazz were underdog Tag Champs at the time, and were kind of making it work. Booker and Test got some Non-Title wins in order to get themselves in contention, and had previously been the Tag Champs in 2001. I believe Scott Keith had taken to calling the Champs the “Pint-Sized Powers of Pain” at the time, which is quite funny, but undermines them a bit if you were to make it their actual name. Spike Dudley was apparently annoyed to be a Tag Champ at the time, as Tazz wasn’t working house shows and that meant that Spike was losing money because he couldn’t defend the belts on his own so they just left him off the shows as well.

They do a decent job here of getting over the idea that Tazz is compact but tough, whilst Spike is small yet scrappy, which explains why the two bigger challengers don’t just caramelise their smaller opponents with ease. Spike of course takes the heat, and does an excellent job of selling for the challengers. Test and Booker are totally fine as bigger bullying Heels here, and it’s a decently worked tag match, but the crowd doesn’t really get that invested in it, which is probably why they soon put the belts onto Billy and Chuck to see if they could generate some interest in the division.

The best reactions come for Booker’s signature spots like the Spinaroonie, showing that the WWF had a potentially hot babyface there when they eventually decided to turn him, which proved to be the case until poor Booker was slaughtered on the altar of H in 2003. Tazz’s hot tag gets basically zero response, even though he’s pretty great as the stocky muscular train running through the challengers. Test tries to pin Tazz whilst using the ropes, but referee Jack Doan catches him. This leads to Doan and Test arguing, which leaves Test open for the Tazz-Mission, leading to Test tapping after 8 Minutes.

WINNERS AND STILL CHAMPIONS: SPIKE & TAZZ
RATING: **

Thoughts: This was a totally fine tag team match, where they worked the formula and hit the beats they needed to. Sadly the crowd just didn’t care and it left the match feeling flat. Taking the belts from Tazz and Spike ultimately made sense when you watch stuff like this, although sticking them with a makeshift team like Test and Booker wasn’t an ideal way to get them over. It felt like two random duos fighting for the belts here, whilst the likes of The Hardyz, Dudleyz and APA were at least proper teams, although they were all starting to get a bit stale by 2002

Jonathon Coachman is interviewing The Rock in the interview area. Rock actually drops the “talking in the third person” part of his act at one stage whilst talking about his feud with Undertaker, noting that Undertaker “tried to end MY career”. That was always good shorthand to let the audience know that Rock was deadly serious about an issue. This was the usual good Rock promo, with a slightly harder edge, which was a refreshing change

Match Four
Brass Knuckles On A Pole Match for the WWF Intercontinental Title
Champion: William Regal Vs Edge

Regal punched Edge with brass knuckles back at Royal Rumble 2002 to win the belt, so we’ve got a stipulation bout follow-up here at No Way Out. Climb the pole and grab the knux in order to use them. The problem with “weapon on a pole” matches is that the fans inherently understand that the match isn’t likely to end until the weapon is procured by one of the combatants, so any near falls up to that point don’t really work because the fans know deep down that the bout isn’t ending until the pole has been climbed. As a result, this match has a bit of a muted atmosphere, although the work itself is okay.

This feud between Regal and Edge primarily existed to put Edge in matches where he would have to fight and scrap with a bruising Heel so that he could show everyone that he wasn’t just a smiling pretty boy. In that regard the feud mostly succeeded, as the work is snug here, Edge gets to show some aggression when he’s taking the fight to Regal, and Edge gets to be defiant when he bleeds from the mouth but keeps bravely hanging in there. The problem is that these two just never really had much in the way of chemistry, so the bouts never really got above “okay” when it came to match quality, even though they essentially served the purpose they existed to provide.

Regal does manage to draw a few “Regal Sux” chants at points, and they do an ambitious spot for a double down where Edge counters a Regal butterly powerbomb into a rana to send both men tumbling off the apron down to the floor, although sadly they don’t quite manage to pull it off and it ends up looking a bit sloppy as a result. The crowd does start clapping a bit for Edge when he drags himself back into the ring to go for the knuckles at least, but the general crowd reactions remain tepid at best. Regal is actually the first to get to the knuckles, but Edge suplexes Regal back down to the mat before Regal can use them. Edge manages to get the knuckles following that, but Regal has a secondary pair in his trunks, which he then uses for the three count after 11 Minutes.

WINNER AND STILL CHAMPION: WILLIAM REGAL
RATING: **1/4

Thoughts: Work was a bit sloppy in places because these two just didn’t really gel as opponents, but they were both putting a shift in and the storyline of Regal using an illegal pair of backup brass knuckles suited his character whilst protecting Edge in defeat somewhat. The crowd just didn’t get on board with this one though, and it left things feeling flat, even though the two competitors were giving a pay per view effort within the ropes

Lilian Garcia is interviewing Kurt Angle in the corridor, where Angle is confident about winning his match with Triple H later on, because he didn’t get his gold medals from a box of Lucky Charms. I have also never found some Olympic Gold Medals in a box of cereal, although I did once find a smaller version of the same box of cereal inside one, with an even smaller box of cereal within that one. I think they were called Stalingrad-a-bix, but don’t quote me on that. Anyway, Angle’s promo was fine, if a bit by the numbers

Match Five
Undertaker Vs The Rock

Rock cost Taker the WWF Hardcore Title to Maven after Taker had previously attacked Rock, so we’ve got a match here at No Way Out to try and settle things. They try their best with the video package to make this thrown together stopgap match for both men before WrestleMania feel like a big deal at least, complete with the dramatic music and everything. Rock doesn’t do his usual entrance and sprints down to the ring, as they again try and make this one feel like a big grudge match, and I do appreciate the effort in all honesty. These two had already clashed with one another numerous times prior to this both in the singles and tag realm, so them going for the “Rock is really angry and is eschewing his usual routine because he’s so bent on getting revenge” angle with it all isn’t the worst idea. Sadly, after the hot start with Rock running wild, the crowd dampens down pretty quickly once Taker starts taking over.

Rock’s selling is decent whilst getting worked over, with him doing his best to make Taker’s offence look suitably punishing. Undertaker sticks mostly to stomps, punches and rest holds, which isn’t especially exciting to watch, but it achieves the required outcome of giving Rock something to fight from underneath against. They of course head into the crowd at one point, because we were in the dying embers of the Attitude Era and most big matches during that period involved a section where the competitors fought outside of the ring whether it was a No DQ contest or not. By the time we get to a Bear Hug from Undertaker in the ring, it feels like they could probably up the tempo a bit, but the crowd stays with Rock and cheers for him when he is finally able to start making the comeback.

Rock is really putting the pay per view effort here, as he is full of fire when he’s finally allowed to fight back. There’s an odd moment where Rock blocks a Choke Slam by kicking Taker right in the McCool’s in full view of the referee, but it’s not a DQ, possibly because ref Mike Chioda is showing some leniency due to Undertaker brawling with Rock in the crowd earlier, although the commentary team doesn’t do an especially good job of getting that storyline point across. Undertaker does at least bump Chioda before trying to use a metal pipe as a weapon, but Ric Flair runs down to put a stop to that, although that does lead to Flair getting kicked in the face by an angry Deadman.

Vince McMahon ends up joining us as well after that, with Rock beating him up, as they are throwing everything they can at this to make it feel like it matters. Chioda is distracted by trying to get the downed Vince out of the ring, which allows Flair to clock Undertaker with the metal pipe. Rock follows up with a Rock Bottom and that’s enough for the three count after 18 Minutes. The finish was wildly overbooked, but the crowd responded to it and it gave Rock a win whilst giving Undertaker an out for his loss.

WINNER: THE ROCK
RATING: **1/2

Thoughts: I appreciated them trying to make this more than just “Undertaker and Rock are wrestling each other again because it’s time for us to go back to that in the rotation” by having Rock be more intense than usual and fighting like someone trying to avenge an injury. It gave the match a little something extra that made it feel like more than just a standard match we’d already seen quite a few times in the prior four years. Rock sold well and the crowd was into his attempts to fight back, although they probably could have easily told the story they needed to in 10-12 Minutes, which would have been preferable over the near 20 Minutes they were given here. Not a match you have to go out of your way to watch, but a competent one that gave Rock a win and set up Undertaker’s feud for WrestleMania X8

Mr. Perfect w/ a swank leather jacket, is at WWF New York, looking bloated and insulting the fans in a pretty frivolous segment, as all these WWF New York ones tended to be

Match Six
Guest Referee: Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley
“The American Hero” Kurt Angle Vs “The Game” Triple H

Triple H won the Royal Rumble, last eliminating Angle, leading to Angle whinging about it and a match being booked to decide who would go to WrestleMania X8 to challenge for the WWF Title. Meanwhile, Stephanie and Tri’s marriage collapsed, owing to Stephanie pretending to be pregnant, with the aid of a dodgy fake doctor, and then roaring like a lion when Triple H ruined their wedding vow renewal ceremony and walked out on her. This meant that Stephanie was then installed as the guest referee here at No Way Out by Vince McMahon. On the Brightside; I can confirm that St. Ives is definitely a smashing place to go on holiday. Triple H’s babyface run was already kind of running out of gas at this stage, despite him getting a huge reaction upon his initial return, and he’d be back in the more natural role of Heel in the summer of 2002, which gave us the Reign of Terror years between 2003-05.

Stephanie’s maniacal Heel grin during Tri’s entrance is even more unsettling due to her Ross-from-Friends’ styled glow in the dark ultra white teeth. I hope she tipped her dentist for that one. The story here is that Stephanie is clearly favouring Angle, but Angle accidentally gives her a clothesline early on, which means we get regular referee Tim White coming down to ref instead, thus negating the point of making Stephanie the referee to begin with. That’s ultimately the issue with this match. They know that a whole match of Stephanie blatantly favouring Angle would not only stretch the bounds of credibility (because why wouldn’t she just Montreal him early on and be done with it?) but it also wouldn’t be especially entertaining to watch either. Thus they have to take her out early so that Angle and HHH can have a proper match, but with Stephanie removed the fans now don’t care as much about the match. They really should have just made Stephanie be Angle’s manager for the night, with her regularly getting involved as the match wore on.

Once Angle and Triple H are allowed to just go in there and wrestle, the match is solid enough, although I’ve never felt like Angle and Tri had much in the way of chemistry together as opponents. I don’t think we ever got babyface Angle Vs Heel Triple H, which would have probably been the best way to work a match between them. If they’d tried that in something like 2003 then it probably would have worked quite well. Triple H is actually a pretty decent babyface when in there with the right opponent, but I’ve never felt like Angle was that opponent. The work here is fine, but it never really gets above that and the crowd never feels like they get truly invested in it. There is some cool stuff though, including HHH giving Angle a Powerbomb out of the corner at one stage when Angle tries the 10 Punch, which isn’t a move we got to see Tri do that often.

Angle eventually clocks referee Tim White from behind and clocks Tri right in the plums, which is Stephanie’s cue to re-join us, only for her to immediately get bumped again. Dumb as this has been, Angle’s frustrated reaction to Stephanie once again getting knocked down was pretty funny. Tim White takes another pratfall, which causes the crowd to both groan and chuckle, as this is just descending even further into farce. Triple H finally manages to catch Angle with a Pedigree, but Stephanie drops an elbow on White to stop the count, giving us our fifth ref bump of this contest. HHH attempts to give Stephanie a Pedigree following that, but Angle gives him a couple of chair shots, which Stephanie of course allows, and that leads to the Olympic Slam for the Angle three count after 15 Minutes.

WINNER: KURT ANGLE
RATING: **1/4

Thoughts: Triple H would end up getting his Title shot back thanks to Ric Flair. This match was okay when it was just Angle and HHH wrestling, but all the assorted gaga with the referees took away from it for me. You can have SOME gaga, don’t get me wrong, but they went over the top with it here to the point that it took away from the match in my opinion. Triple H losing a match like this and needing the babyface authority figure to bail him out probably didn’t help with trying to get him over as a babyface. I get that a babyface has to face some adversity, but Triple H was only two months into his big babyface return and he was already failing and getting made to look stupid by his villainous ex-wife. That’s not normally a good formula for getting your top babyface over

The nWo visits The Rock in his locker room, leading to him razzing all three of them in a very funny segment. Rock making fun of the horn that played during Diesel’s entrance theme is an all-time “Rock destroying a cocky Heel” moment. I do like how Rock was happy to have a picture with Hogan when he learned it was for Hogan’s son though, which shows that, despite his bombast, Rock is still a babyface who will stomach having a picture with someone he doesn’t like if it’s for a kid. Also, I like how Rock was willing to just take the picture and let the nWo leave, but then Hogan made a snide comment and that made Rock turn it up to 11. Rock was a lot better during this run of actually being a more likable babyface as, Jonathon Coachman aside, Rock would usually only humiliate someone if they “deserved” it, which the nWo definitely did deserve in that particular exchange due to Hogan being a jerk and essentially lighting the touch paper

Main Event
WWF Undisputed Title
Champion: “The Living Legend” Chris Jericho Vs “The Bionic Redneck” Stone Cold Steve Austin

Jericho was struggling as Champion due to almost always being booked as a useless weakling who needed help to win his matches, which is a similar issue The Miz had in 2011. Jericho did get to defeat Rock back at Royal Rumble 2002 via his own evilness as opposed to having someone run out and drape him on top, but that wasn’t going to be repeated here at No Way Out. Rock was very giving in his match with Jericho at the Rumble, whereas Austin mostly just batters Jericho for large parts of this, adding to the idea that Jericho is a guy out of his depth who can’t hang with the top guys. Granted, Jericho was supposed to be a Heel here, but you also need your World Champ to have a shred of credibility, even if he is a villain, otherwise it just takes away from the prestige of the belt itself. You can do the Honky Tonk Man undeserving Champion with a secondary belt, but it generally never works with the top belt.

Jericho certainly takes his lumps here, with Austin delivering multiple knife edge chops throughout the contest, leading to Jericho’s chest looking red raw after a certain point. Jericho ends up pulling referee Earl Hebner in close so that he can give Austin a low blow for the cut off, which means we’ve seen a low blow spot in all three of the major matches on this No Way Out card. I think the Agents needed to have better communication so that there was some more variety in the matches around this time. Austin does bust out a Stun Gun (the move, not the item) for a hope spot at one stage, in a nice call-back to his Stunning Steve days. Despite the frenetic action on display, the crowd doesn’t seem that invested in the match, and it takes the two wrestlers quite a while to get them to clap for Austin when Jericho puts him in a Sleeper, with the crowd only barely clapping even when they do finally start following the script.

Jericho unleashes THE DREADED YOUNG LION BOSTON CRAB onto Austin at one stage, with Austin easily surviving it. We get yet ANOTHER ref bump in a series of them tonight, with Earl Hebner taking an errant clothesline, which means there’s no one there to call for the bell when Austin makes Jericho submit to the crab. With the referee still down; the nWo joins us and lays Austin out, with Hall delivering a Stunner onto Austin, meaning that Jericho can cover the downed Austin for the three count, after once again getting destroyed and only surviving because someone gifted him a victory on a plate after 22 Minutes.

WINNER AND STILL CHAMPION: CHRIS JERICHO
RATING: **

Thoughts: Oh hey, it turns out the nWo were evil all along, who would have thought it? As mentioned earlier, on one hand I’m glad that the babyfaces didn’t buy that the nWo were actually going to be as nice as they promised, as it meant they didn’t look stupid for trusting the clearly villainous villains. However, them revealing it all within 2 hours made doing the tease pointless to begin with. If they’d spent a few weeks teasing that maybe the nWo were actually babyfaces now, to the point that even the fans started to somewhat believe it, they could have had them cost Austin a match and it would have been nuclear heat. Instead, it just made you wonder what the point of the opening promo was. They may as well have just had the nWo come out and brag about how they were going to kill the company at the start of the night. Why would the nWo even pretend to be nice guys when no one believed them to begin with and they were just going to reveal it was all a ruse at the end of the night anyway? What benefit was there for them to even pretend? What villainous scheme did it aid?

As for the match itself; the crowd didn’t really seem to care that much about it and Jericho was kind of treated like little more than a mild annoyance by Austin for the majority of it. This meant that the crowd didn’t really get behind Austin that much whenever Jericho was able to get him on the defensive, as Austin had been walloping Jericho with such ease that you didn’t really feel like he was in any real jeopardy even when Jericho busted out the biggest moves in his arsenal, something that was reinforced by the fact that the only reason Jericho won was because the new Heel faction, who you actually COULD take seriously, were the ones who did all the work and laid the table for Jericho to steal one

The nWo lays Austin out as the show closes

Is It Really A Stinker?

I wouldn’t say No Way Out 2002 was a Stinker. Every match was in the 2 star range by my watch, with nothing especially awful on there. It was a middling show overall, with no particularly good matches but no terrible ones either. There were many overused tropes on the show, namely low blows and ref bumps, but the general standard of wrestling was okay in the matches.

As far as advancing/maintaining storylines; No Way Out essentially did what it needed to. Undertaker and Ric Flair’s feud for WrestleMania X8 was set-up, the nWo got involved in Austin and Rock’s business so that those storyline directions were set up, and RVD got a battling win so that he could be moved in position to challenge for the IC Title.

No Way Out just felt like a flat show overall. Dull, yet functional, with it laying some of the groundwork for WrestleMania X8 whilst throwing in a curveball with Triple H losing in order to keep the fans guessing. It did it’s job, but little more. A thumbs in the middle if ever one existed

Final Score – Odourless
(Scores done on a scale of Stinker/Stinky/Odourless/Pleasant/Fragrant)
