Summary: The Last WWF Pay-Per-View Ever!
Review: 2002 Backlash
April 21, 2002
Kemper Arena
Kansas City, Missouri
Cruiserweight Championship:
Billy Kidman (Champion) V. Tajiri
Great match with alot of great cruiserweight action. I really didn't like the ending. The green mist into Kidman's eyes ends it? Oh well. Tajiri regains the title. ***3/4
Scott Hall V. Bradshaw
Better than people give it credit for. However, another bad ending with a low blow winning it for Hall. **
Women's Championship:
Jazz (Champion) V. Trish
Not as good as people give it credit for. It was a typical women's match with Jazz retaining. *1/2
Jeff Hardy V. Brock Lesnar
This match made Brock like kind of silly. He didn't look like the Brock we know, but it was his first match, so it's not all bad. The ending was good until Hardy couldn't get up after a powerbomb. Look at all the ladder matches he was in. He has been thought alot more than that. **1/4
Kurt Angle V. Edge
The show stealer right here. Awesome match. Not alot of people talk about this match. It put Edge on the map as a singles wrestler and Angle is just awesome. Angle wins in a forgetten classic. ****1/2
Intercontinental Championship:
Rob Van Dam (Champion) V. Eddie Guerrero
Not alot of people like this match. People say that this match was good, but not that good. WHAT? This match is not a classic like the back of the DVD says but it's pretty close. RVD retains. ***3/4
Stone Cold Steve Austin V. The Undertaker
This match wasn't as bad people say it was. It was boring in some parts and very long. Taker wins. **3/4
Tag Team Championship:
Billy & Chuck (Champions) V. Al Snow & Maven
Good match, but short. Billy & Chuck retain. **
Undisputed Championship:
Triple H (Champion) V. Hulk Hogan
Now, I'm not that big of a Hogan fan. I like wrestlers who can actually wrestle. This match was too predictiable. Everyone knew who was going to win. This match was only to give Hogan one more run, but it only lasted a month. *3/4
This Pay-Per-View is very underrated. The opener was great, the Intercontinental Title match was great, Edge & Angle was simply awesome. The endings to some matches were just silly and the Debut of Lesnar could have been better if you put him in there with a better wrestler. Overall, a good show that many people don't like which is sad. Not the best Pay-Per-View, but one to remember. A *** event and the last WWF Pay-Per-View ever.

Summary: Lots of Great Action
Review: Backlash 2002 was the fallout from Wrestlemania X8. Overall it was a decent event. First of all, Billy Kidman and Tajiri showed the world why the cruiserweight division is the hottest thing in wrestling today as Tajiri tries to regain his title. Scott Hall makes his last WWE P.P.V. appearance as he takes on Bradshaw. Jazz defends her Women's Title in a rematch with Canadian hottie Trish Stratus. "The Next BIG Thing" Brock Lesnar debuts on P.P.V. against Jeff Hardy. Edge goes one on one with Kurt Angle in a definite match of the year candidate. Eddie Guerrero challenges Rob Van Dam for the Intercontinental Title in another classic bout. In a #1 contender match, Stone Cold Steve Austin takes on the Undertaker. Ric Flair serves as the special guest referee. Teacher and student, Al Snow and Maven challenge Billy & Chuck for the Tag Team Titles. In the main event, Triple H defends the Undisputed WWE Championship against Hollywood Hulk Hogan. As far as DVD extras are concerned, there are some great backstage interviews with the wrestlers after they competed in their matches. There is also hihglights from the Sunday Night Heat broadcast that was on the air just before the P.P.V. Included is one bonus match which was a handicap match pitting the Big Show against Steven Richards and Justin Credible. With over three hours of action, WWE Backlash 2002 is worth adding to your DVD collection.

Summary: Worth the price of admission for 2 classic matches.
Review: Backlash is the event right after Wrestlemania. Sometimes it's better than Wrestlemania,
sometimes it's not quite as good. Last year's Backlash was as good as Wrestlemania 18.
This also was the first ppv after the best decision McMahon ever made: Brand Extension. The
Smackdown and Raw brands now may be two totally different style shows, but back then they
were pretty evenly matched. This event had two incredible matches, one a great all-style
match, the other a true high flying and speed classic. Billy Kidman vs. Tajiri
Typical match from these two, which is very good and exciting. Nothing new here,
Tajiri with his excelent technique and kicks and Billy Kidman an average high-flyer. The
WWE should be careful: while these matches would be considered excellent and ground-breaking
5 years ago, now they are what we come to expect from them. Again, in many people's minds
a definite 5 star, but there is nothing special enough here to even get a 4.
rating: 3 1/2 Scot Hall vs. Bradshaw
[Yawn]... oh, this was a MATCH? How?
Scot Hall is waaaaaaaaaaaay past his past-prime and Bradshaw never had his prime. Two dead
end gimmicks (NWO and APA) collide and stink up your DVD player.
rating: 1/2 Hulk Hogan vs. HHH
If you would have told me back in 2000 that I would be more entertained by watching a
Trish Stratus match than by watching most HHH matches in 2003, I'd probably have laughed at
you and punched you. HHH was in only 4 good/great matches in 2003: of course, Hogan vs.
Helmsley wasn't one of them. Talk about boring and over-long. I guess HHH was trying to
relive all those horrid (yes, horrid) Hulk Hogan matches from his youth. I have never seen
a Hogan singles match that didn't involve me getting up and fixing a glass of orange juice.
"How can it be that bad, Flawless?" How? Ok, want a run down of the match? Alright, here
goes nothing (literally). Lock up. stare. lock up. stare.lock up stare. punch. lock up. stare
and pose. laugh. screw up. lock up. stare. screw up in a lock up. stare. run. Screw up at
staring.
rating: 0 Jazz vs. Trish Stratus
Yes! I really love these matches. Jazz is the best woman wrestler I've seen. I can't wait
until she and Victoria lock horns. Trish Stratus is going to be great someday. This was a good
if short, showing.
rating: 3 Jeff Hardy vs. Brock Lesnar
I guess you've seen a Lesnar match by now. This is a very good and scary squash match
which shows off all of Lesnar's big moves (except for that shooting star press. Just wait).
rating: 3 Kurt Angle vs. Edge
This is Edge and Angle's second ppv match against each other (their first was at King Of The Ring 2001).
As great as that match was, this one is even better. In one of the best matches of the year, Kurt and Edge create some
incredible spots and truly get the crowd behind them. I have a feeling that in a few years these two will be facing each
other in a ppv main event Title match, that one being a match for the ages.
rating: 5 Rob Van Dam vs. Eddie Guerrero
RVD, the best high flyer in the world, and Eddie Guerrer, possibly the best all around wrestler in the world, face
off in the best match of the night, month, and second best match of the year (behind Edge vs. Eddie Guerrero, Smackdown nhb).
It is hard to put this match into words. This was without a doubt the match that relaunched Eddie's career. RVD put on a great
performance, obviously upset about his less than stellar match with William Regal at WM 18. Eddie put RVD through some
excruciating submissions and scientific suplexes. RVD gave out some of the greatest spots of the year. These two would recreate
this match later on Raw, this time with a ladder. It just didn't seem quite the same. Many people only speak of RVD as a
high-flyer. This match showed that he has some great technical counters, but in the end it just couldn't beat the technical
wizard known as Eddie Guerrero.
rating: 5 Stone Cold vs. The Undertaker
These two have tangled so much, what would make someone want to see this over, say, Judgement Day 2001 or Summerslam
1998? Well, not much. This is the worst match the two have had on PAY-PER-VIEW. While not BAD, this match just pales in
comparrison to those brawling classics. The Undertaker's days are getting shorter, and Stone Cold, while still able to put
on great matches, just has lost some of his juice.
rating: 2 Billy & Chuck vs. Al Snow and Maven
Jeez, why did you give Maven a ppv match? He's so green! Al Snow has no character. Billy and Chuck are as lame as it
can get. Not a very good match at all.
rating: 1 1/2

Summary: One unforgettable match
Review: Backlash was an Ok paperview The main Event was what I was looking to see. I really wanted to watch HHH/HOGAN match with out interferrance.
Sadly it was from my favorite WWE star, the Undertaker. Though the match was awesome it just didn't hold it up for me.
Austin/Taker match wasn't a big deal for me Because It was nothing important except that it's for the no1 contender for the wwe championship....
I give this 3 stars for the match and the
BIG SHOW/SHANE match which stole the show for me. These two men flat out killed eachother. This was better than there match at Judgmentday which was 2/3 years ago I think.... Over all don't buy this PPv....Borrow if from a friend or something....Or buy, It's up to you....I'm not forcing anyone not to watch it. I thought this was an average/and yes awesome ppv to watch... 3.2 out of 5

Summary: Backlash
Review: Backlash was not the greatest ppv but, a good one with some spectacular matches. Lets first start with the DVD extras. First is an interview with Billy Kidman. A Al Snow and Maven interview. Buh Buh Ray Dudly interview. An APA interview. A Trish Stratus interview. A segment on Brock Lesnars impact. And The Big Show vs. Steven Richards & Justin Credible in a handicap match. Now to the ppv. Cruiserweight Championship. Billy Kidman vs. Tajiri. This was a great cruiserwieght championship match with some great looking moves. We see the Japanese Buzzsaw take the title away from Kidman. I give it 10 stars. Bradshaw vs. Scott Hall. Okay people this wasn't the greatest match on the card but it was very emotional with great fan reaction when Farooq comes out at the begging to help his former partner. Scott Hall beats Bradshaw with the distraction of X-pac. I give it an 8 stars because of the emotion. Womens Championship. Jazz vs. Trish Stratus. Molly ruins the whole match at the get go. But some how Trish And Jazz put on a better performance then there Royal Rumble match. And I loved the hurricarana move by Trish to Jazz. Jazz retains her title by submission the STF. Shocking good match. I give it an 8. Jeff Hardy vs. Brock Lesner. In Brocks debut him and Jeff put on a good match and it wasn't all Brock. Jeff hit some of his signature moves like his Corkscrew Moonsault and of course the infamous Swanton Bomb. Brock wins by knocking out Jeff Hardy. I give it an 9. Edge vs. Kurt Angle. Im going to use the line the put on the back of the dvd which is... Old freinds can sometimes make the best enemies. And what a match did these 2 put on. Like everybody said show stealer, great pace, great chemistry, great intensity, this was just a great match. The german suplex by Edge landed Angle on his head. Kurt wins by the Angle Slam. 10 star match. Intercontinental Championship. RVD vs. Eddie Guerrero. This was also a great match these 2 gave it there all. This wasn't a 10 star match for the simple fact that we never got to see the best moves of RVD. He never hit his Frog Splash or his Split Legged Moonsault. Eddie Guerrero wins by his Frog Splash. 9 stars. Number 1 Contender Match. Stone Cold vs. The Undertaker. Ric Flair special guest referee.Most peole said the match was long and which it was but the match itself was funny. Stone Cold
did push ups flipped off The Undertaker the commentary by The King towards Ric Flair was truely funny. It didn't make sense though why they brought out the NWO. Well The Undertake wins
after kicking a chair in Austin's face and Ric Flair counted the 1,2,3 with the foot on the rope. I give this match a 9. Tag Team Championship. Billy & Chuck vs. Al Snow & Maven.
Yes this was a dissapointment the match itself was boring and pointless. Billy and Chuck wins by pining Maven after a
superkick. I give it a 6 dont ask me why? Undisputed Championship. HHH vs. Hulk Hogan. I will be honest the match wasn't bad but I dont like Hulk Hogan and the choice of him winning the title was a terrible jesture by the creative team by WWE. Ok now the match took a little while to get started but it finished with a bang with the interference of Y2J and The Undertaker. Hogan wins by a chairshot from The Undertaker
to HHH and a legdrop. OK match wise it gets a 9. I give it an 7 for the simple fact that Hulk Hogan won and he shouldn't have. Well thats DVD of Backlash. Its worth buying if you don't buy it at least rent it to watch at least once you won't be that dissapointed.In the words of Mick Foley Have A Nice Day.

Summary: A passionate Edge...
Review: But little else to recommend this title for those looking for a little titillation to go with their knock-down, drag-outs. Fans of Billy Gunn will be disappointed by a rather hoe-hum tag team meeting between Billy & Chuck and Maven & Al Snow -- no humiliating turnarounds; no one's shorts get pulled down. You know what I mean. The best match is between Edge and Kurt Angle, featuring two-count after two-count and an increasingly seething Edge, whose passionate intensity makes him the hottest wrestler out there right now.

Summary: Mediocre PPV... If that even
Review: First off, I attended this PPV, so maybe that was why it didn't seem that great. Just for the record, however, there is no way this will be the Pay-Per-View of the year. The matches were dull, and slow-paced. Here they are:
Tajiri v.s. Billy Kidman ****
This was a very good opening match and really made you think the rest of the show would be great to. Scott Hall v.s. Bradshaw *
Terribly boring. The crowd was silent almost the whole match. Trish v.s. Jazz ***
For a women's match it wasn't that bad. Jeff Hardy v.s. Brock Lesnar ***
Brock made his debut against Jeff Hardy who is about half his size. Brock dominated the whole match. I don't even think jeff got one punch in. Kurt Angle v.s. Edge *****
Easily the best match on the card. It was action packed the whole way through, with tons of false finishes along the way. This is probably the only match worth watching on the card. Rob Van Dam v.s. Eddie Guerrero ***
A decent match. RVD can always entertain, although Eddie Guerrero came up a little short. Stone Cold v.s. Undertaker w/ special guest referee ric flair *
This match could have received two stars, except it was supposed to be a main event. The whole match was slow moving, and Flair has to be the worst referee ever. Being there, you couldn't tell austin's foot was on the ropes, so the ending was really really bad. This match seemed like an elongated Smackdown contest. Billy & Chuck v.s. Maven and Al Snow *
This match was shorter than the women's match, and should have been on Heat. Hulk Hogan v.s. Triple H *
Triple H's entrance was the high spot of the match. That's how bad it was. The first 10 minutes was an arm wrestling contest, then they did 5 minutes of lockups, then Hulk suplexed HHH, then HHH beat up on Hulks leg for 10 minutes, and then there was some interference and the match was over. I have no idea how people can say this match was "great". Just because Hulk Hogan is in it does not make it "unbelievable." If Kurt Angle and The Rock wrestled the same match that HHH and Hogan did, people would think it sucked. Hulk Hogan is just about 15 years passed his prime.
