Summary: Backlash About Backlash
Review: slight disappointment to follow wrestlemania. i understand a lot of the stars were injured, but could have done better. no angle,austin, edge, benoit,undertaker or hogan. dvd extras are good especially rock after ppv went off the air.

team angle vs guerreros 7/10- good match with suprise afterwards
o' haire vs rikishi 3/10- should have been better buildup especially with piper involved. rikishi looks fatter.
van dam & kane vs dudleys 9/10- best match of backlash. great ending. this match stole the show.
trish vs jazz 4/10- not the best of these two. good to see teddy long back. great character
show vs mysterio 5/10- would have been lower if not for post match shocker. show proves nothing here beating up guy half his size. 5'3 vs 7'? give me a break. rey could have ended his career prematurely
lesnar vs cena 8/10- thought this would be a squash. really impressed with cena's performance. has a future in wwe.
tripple hhh, jericho & flair vs michaels, nash & booker 6/10- should have been a lot better. nash shows ring rust. flair is shell of his once great shelf. booker really shines in this match after wrestlemania disappointment.
rock vs goldberg 5/10- this is a main event? didn't have feel of one. goldberg looks rusty after 2 yr layoff. rock holds back. for the hype , i was very disappointed. this match should have been held until summerslam, giving goldberg time to get back in sync.

Summary: BACKLASH 2003 was good but not the best
Review: Team Angle vs Los Guerros-Exellent opener for Backlash 2003. These are 2 great tag teams and when you put them together there is always explosions.Los Guerros were on top of team angle for most of the match but Team Angle retain the tag team gold by cheating. 8/10

Rikishi vs Sean O,Haire-Was not a very good match.The match was too short and didn't have much action until Rikishi smashed the coconut on Pipers head.Piper got what he deserved.Somehow O,Haire beat the 400 pounder with pipers destraction. 6/10

Trish vs Jazz-How many times do they want to show this match?This was probably one of their best encounters but I am still sick of seing this match up.Ending was awful when Theodore Long through his shoe at Trish and Jazz took advantage to win the match. 5/10

Rey Mysterio vs Show-The smallest guy on the roster vs the biggest guy on the roster.There was never a way Mysterio could have won even after 3 straight 619's.Ending was terrifying with Big Show catching Mysterio and chokeslamming him from 7 feet high.Okay match better than I expected. 6/10

Kane/RVD vs Dudleys-Great tag team contest.I was impressed RVD and Kane were still able to win after Cheif Morley was always on the Dudleys side.Had some high flying moves from RVD and was very entertaining to watch Cheif Morleys decions. 8/10

Triple H,Flair,Y2J VS Kevin Nash,HBK and Booker T-Brilliant match!!!.Was 20 monutes long and had loads of personal match ups between all six wrestlers.The match was bloody and after it had finished every one was brused and battered.Triple H got the victory for his team by cheating,using the sledgehammer on Kevin Nash. 9.5/10

Lesnar vs John Cena-Great match.Cena was on top for the whole match making Lesnar bleed but Lesnars will to keep the title guided him to victory with the F5.Cena used some great moves and was entertaining and Lesnar played his part well aswell.8/10

The Rock vs Goldberg-Slow paced for most of the match.Neither man was going for the other.Goldberg wins his 1st match in the WWE after a spear and a jackhammer.okay match for the second half of it.Rock should have won though. 7/10

Back lash 2003 was okay.It had some good matches but also had some terrible ones.I think last years Backlash was better.If your a true wrestling fan buy this DVD for the good matches on it. overall rating-57.5/80

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: WWE Backlash 2003
Review: This is Mudd. This PPV was okay but it definitly worth the money to go out and but if you like Kevin Nash.

Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas vs. Los Guerreros for the WWE Tag Titles. This was the perfect match to start off this PPV and it had everything. Benjamin & Haas cheat to retain the Tag Titles. (8/10)

Rikishi vs. Sean O'Haire was a boring match between 2 big men. Rikishi whacks Piper and then O'Haire wins?? Don't watch this match. (4.5/10)

Kane & Rob Van Dam vs. Dudley Boyz for the World Tag Titles. This was a good match and all but the WWE Tag Titles were better. Kane & RVD retain the belts. (8/10)

Trish vs. Jazz for the Women's Title. This was a boring match that was not worth seeing. It wasn't very exciting till Theodore Long threw his shoe at Trish then Jazz picked up the win. (4/10)

Rey Mysterio vs. Big Show was a good match that was worth watching but you never get bored. Big Show justs beats Rey to a pulp and wins. (6/10)

Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena for the WWE Title. This was a match that could have had Chris Benoit facing Lesnar but instead they have Cena. Still Cena put on a great show but Lesnar retained the title. (7.5/10)

Kevin Nash, Shawn Michaels & Booker T vs. Triple H, Ric Flair & Chris Jericho was a decent match and if you like Kevin Nash you will like this match but HHH pins Nash after he hit him with a sledgehammer. (8/10)

The Rock vs. Goldberg was Goldberg's first match back. It was not that good but it was okay and shouldn't have been the Main Event. It would have been better if they added a stipulation. Goldberg wins the match. (7.5/10)

This PPV was close to being 4 stras but it wasn't that good and the match of the night was the 6-Man Tag Match.











Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great PPV, right next to my town!
Review: This PPV simply kicks @$$. Here are the matches with a 1-10 rating.

Tag Team Title Match: Los Guerros vs. Team Angle (champions) 7.75 since the match was entertaining, but the Guerros lost.

Rikishi vs. Sean O Haire (w/Roddy Piper)8 because it was fun to watch Piper get what he deserved, but no stinkface? DAMN!!

Women's Championship Match: Trish Stratus (champion) vs. Jazz (w/Theodore Long) 1 because the match sucked, Jazz had faced Trish way too many times before, plus the match was short.

Tag Team Title Match: Kane & RVD (champions) vs. The Dudley Boyz with Chief Morley as the special guest referee. 10 because I was impressed when I saw Kane & RVD defeat the Dudleys when Morley was helping the Dudleys the whole time.

Rey Mysterio vs. The Big Show. 2 since it was almost obvious that the Big Show would win, plus, the ending of the match was horrifying.

WWE championship match: Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena. 9.75 since the match was EXTREMELY high quality, but my favorite guy John Cena lost (Cena had Lesnar beat at one point in the match)

Kevin Nash, Shawn Michaels, & Booker T vs. Triple H, Ric Flair, & Chris Jericho. 4 Since Triple H cheated to win, plus the match wasn't very entertaining.

The Rock vs. Goldberg. 10 because it was Goldberg's first PPV in the WWE and he made a BIG impact by defeating The Rock.

Overall, this is an AWESOME PPV and you should definently buy it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WWE Backlash 2003
Review: This PPV was one of the WWE's better ones. All around this PPV was terrific. It features Goldberg's WWE Debut, 4 WWE Title matches, and 8 matches.

Smackdown! Tag Team Title Match
-Los Guerreros(Eddie and Chavo) vs. Team Angle - 8/10
*This was a pretty good opening match. Action packed and fun fast pace wrestling.

Sean O'Haire vs. Rikishi - 4/10
*This match should have been great but it was way to short, like only 3 minutes long. But for the short time they were fighting it was OK

WWE World Women's Title Match
- Jazz vs. Trish Stratus - 7/10
* Not bad womens match, one of the best Ive seen in a while -Trish takes a big hit in the face..ouch!

WWE RAW Tag Team Ttitle Match
-Kane & RVD vs. The Dudleyz :Special Ref-Cheif Morley-9/10
* Exellent match, probably the best title defense of all Kane and RVD tag matches, the Dudleyz and Kane & RVD put on a great match!

-Rey Mysterio Jr. vs. Big Show - 7/10
*Cool match, fun to watch! you have to see what happens to Rey after the match!!!!

WWE Championship
- Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena - 10/10
* Probably the best ever title match in the history of the Undisputed Title. Great performance by both Lesnar and Cena. Cena's best match by far. Great wrestling, great pace, good action, this match had everything!!!

WWE 6 Man Tag Team Match
- Triple H, Flair & Y2J vs. Booker T., HBK & Kevin Nash- 9.5/10
This match was great! it started getting slow but improved by alot, this was an overall great match, ending was OK

WWE Backlash Main Event:
- Goldberg vs. The Rock - 9/10
This match was great but it was really slow paced. I mean they kept knocking each-other out using there finishers really early in the match so it was slow because they had to keep recovering from the finishers, but a great match!!!

WWE BACKLASH WAS AWSOME, DEFINATLEY WORTH THE MONEY EASILY!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Backlash sets the tone for the rest of the year!
Review: This was a phenomenal event, and in my opinion the best event of the year so far. There were some great matches, and more importantly this event set the tone for main events to come. The highlight was the return of Goldberg and Kevin Nash to the squared circle and both their matches were spectacular. Other good matches were Lesnar/Cena though I was disappointed that the WWE did not push Cena by making him give Lesnar a tougher match. Great backstage action with Torrie and Sable, and solid midcard action. This is one event that will be remembered for a long time, and the effects of this event will lead right upto Wrestlemania 20.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great PPV Following Wrestlemania
Review: This was maybe the best Backlash ever. Great matches and the return of the WCW's greatest, Goldberg!

WWE Tag Team Championship: Los Gurerros vs Team Angle
Good match but team angle stole the win making the match not as good as it could have been. 7/10

Sean Ohaire vs Rikishi
Good matchup but it ended too fast. 6/10

Big Show vs Rey Mysterio
A great match, this represented David vs Golioth. An interesting match. 9/10

WWE Championship: Brock Lesnar vs John Cena
Great match filled with great wrestling and street fighting. 10/10

World Tag Team Chapionship: Kain and RVD vs The Dudleys
Great matchup filled with good action, this is what the tag titles are all about. 10/10

Women's Championship: Trish vs Jazz
Nice watching Trish in action but the match had too many interferences. 6/10

Nash,HBK,Booker T vs Triple H,Rick Flair,Y2J
Good match alot of talent in the ring but corny ending. 9/10

Goldberg vs The Rock
Best match of the night,a dream match that finally arrived. This gave Backlash alot of attention! One of the best matches of 2003. 10/10

Total: 67/80 GOOD
Better Brand of this PPV was Raw
Goes best with WWE Judgement Day

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Historic
Review: This will one day be a historic pay-per-view. It is well worth the money as it is both entertaining and also will remain important. It features the pay-per-view debut of Sean O-haire, and WWE debut of Goldberg. It also has the first Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena title match. I have a feeling that these two will be feuding for the title for years to come. Add to the mix a very good womens match, an amazing Team Angle/Los Guerreros Match, and a passable RVD/Kane vs. the Dudley's, and you defintely have a DVD worth watching. The extra features are really entertaining too, with extra interviews that catch the wrestlers a little off their mark and thus really funny.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Better Backlash than Usual
Review: Usually, Backlash is one of the weaker PPV's of the year. It's not really the PPV itself that's a let down it's just that it follows Wrestlemania and their is really nothing that can follow such an enormous ppv. Plus, Backlash is always dealing with the ramifications of the things that happened at Backlash. However, the last two years the WWF/WWE have tried to seperate themselves from the Backlash norm by making huge mainevents. Last year it was Hollywood Hulk Hogan vs HHH for the Undisputed Title and this year it's The Rock vs. Goldberg.

Los Guerreros vs Team Angle for the WWE Tag Team Championship-A solid match and a good opener. Eddie Guerrero is by far one of the most entertaining things that the WWE has going. The match itself was fun to watch and overall had nothing that majorly distracted from the action that took place in the ring. I give it 8 out of 10 stars.

Rikishi vs Sean O'Haire w/Rowdy Roddy Piper-It's nice to see the WWE using a veteran like Roddy Piper to push a mid-card star. I say mid-card about Sean O'Hair because he has been around a while. Well, this match is as good as can be expected seeing as how it came from a feud involving coconuts that started almost 20 years ago. A PPV squash match that does not make the squasher look important. Good to see the WWE trying to push O'Haire, but even that cannot save this match. 6 out of 10 stars.

Kane/Rob Van Dam vs The Dudley Boyz for the World Tag Team Championships w/Chief Morley as the Special Referee-Kane and RVD made decent tag champs, but the Dudleyz playing the reluctant heels just didn't work. Chief Morley's character had worn thin by this time and apparently the WWE realized it because shortly after the character was scrapped. Not as good or entertaining as the WWE Tag Team Titles Match, but nothing overall horrible either. 7 out of 10 stars.

Jazz w/Theodore Long vs Trish Stratus for the Women's Championship-For some reason the WWE feels the need to push that Jazz is practically unbeatable. Trish has only beat her a couple of times and I believe the majority of them were because Jazz was injured. Well, Jazz isn't injured and they have placed her with Teddy Long's group. Obvious outcome, but a decent women's match. 7 out of 10.

Rey Mysterio vs The Big Show- At first I thought that they were going to push Rey Mysterio as the Giant Killer like he was billed in WCW after victories over Kevin Nash and the such. However, this is the WWE and The Big Show is probably double Kevin Nash's weight. Rey Mysterio puts on an entertaining match with The Big Show and his bumps are impressive especially the spot on the stretcher. 7 out of 10.

John Cena vs Brock Lesnar for the WWE Heavyweight Championship-This is like an OVW Classic. The Prototype(John Cena) vs. one half of the Minnesota Stretching Crew(Brock Lesnar/Shelton Benjamin). Just joking. Anyways, John Cena is coming into his own with his Thuganomics character. Good to see the WWE recognizing this and giving him a push. A solid match even though he didn't win. The WWE seems to lack major upsets, but for a while they did make it seem like Cena had a chance of beating Lesnar. A good match that hopefully, will have a rematch eventually. 8 out of 10.

Kevin Nash, Shawn Michaels, and Booker T vs. Chris Jericho, Ric Flair and HHH-Well,Nash had just returned after Wrestlemania to find HBK and HHH going at it. Of course he goes right into a feud with HHH and leaves Booker T by the wayside. Oh wait for some reason he's thrown in here. This is a decent six man tag match that manages to avoide showing too many of Nash's weaknesses. 8 out of 10 stars.

The Rock vs Goldberg-The week's leading up to this match with the Rock and Goldberg were hillarious. The Rock bringing in Gillberg and the such made for some entertaining television. The match itself was decent. Goldberg isn't a very solid wrestler and it shows in this match. The Rock may be an entertainer, but he can wrestler. Goldberg's style is almost a mix of MMA and mat wrestling. That's makes matches with him seem disjointed. The Rock pulls him to a decent match, but nothing spectacular and definately a let down for what was supposed to be another in The Rock's series of "I Never Imagined it Could Happen" matches. 7 out of 10.

Overall, a decent rebound after Wrestlemania, but a weak ppv. Some nice extras on the dvd mainly centering around Goldberg and a bonus match from Sunday Night Heat. If you're like me then you would buy it no matter what. A PPV is a PPV and if you didn't see it when it aired then it's better to get it on dvd.
