Summary: BACKLASH
Review: Keep away from this DVD at all costs! The PPV has been called the worst PPV ever. The main event was a tag title match with iC and championship belt on the line. HHH and Austin vrs Kane and Undertaker. The camera angles are so bad that you miss the finish of the match!

Summary: The definition of an OK PPV
Review: This pay-per-view had some matches I was really looking forward to and some which I had no expectations for. .... Opener, X-factor vs. Dudley's: A real surprise. It looked like it was gonna be a real stinker but turned out to be a very good opener. ***1/2* Hardcore matct: Raven vs. Rhyno: Rhyno is being used perfectly. He can't put together a real one on one match but is awesome in the hardcore division. Raven also works well in the hardcore match but I'd rather see him in the running for the IC or tag team belts. Awesome match though. ****1/4* Regal vs. Jericho: This could have been a great match but the goofy stipulations just plain killed it. It was watchable but a real disapointment. *3/4* Benoit vs. Angle: Another disappointment. It's still a great match but just isn't up to the level of quality I've come to expect from these two. Would have been a better match if there had been less stalling by angle, had been moves other then submission moves and if there had been more crazy submission moves. If you want to see a real awesome submission matches get Judgement day 2000 or wrestlemania 13... ***3/4* Big Show vs. Shane: ....Shane should save his crazy bumps for a real match against a real opponent. * Mat Hardy vs. Cristian vs. Eddie Guerrero: Awesome but they didn't give them enough time to do anything. Should have shaved a few minutes off of the main event and given it to these guys. Undertaker and Kane vs Austin and Tripple H: Not the worst match of the night.... *3/4* Overall a pretty ok show thats worth picking up. ....

Summary: Below Average PPV
Review: WWF Backlash 2001 on April 29th was most definitely the worst Backlash PPV of all time. It was also the worst WWF PPV in two years. Nobody was expecting a show like the previous month's Wrestlemaina or even the very excellent NO Way Out the month before that (in my opinion that is the best PPV of 2001 so far) At best I thought Backlash would be at least on par with the flawed Royal Rumble 2001, unfortunately this was not the case. X-Factor vs. Dudleys was a below standard six-man dud. Ross's commentary is way over the top and uses unbelievable terms! Rhiyno Vs Raven for the hardcore championship was probably the match of the night! And that should tell you something! Regal vs. Jericho would have been great, except for the god-awful Queensbury rules. Benoit vs. Angle in an Ultimate Submission match was a match that played well on PPV, but the crowd was bored out their minds. Only the wrestler's finishing moves were over, the rest of the submission holds were not. The crowd was not too friendly with this one, unlike in the Astrodome on the last pay event. I think this sort of match does not belong in this promotion. Shane O Mac vs. Big Show in a last man standing match was at least something decent and interesting to watch. Shane did one of his crazy bumps! He really should not do this kind of thing in the future. One slip up and he could be in trouble, and I don't want to see anyone hurt, especially one of the people that are so important to the future of the company. Overall a definite PPV match up! Matt Hardy vs. Christian vs. Eddy Guerrero for the European championship was good, but BORING! HHH & Austin vs. Undetaker & Kane for the Federation Championship, IC Championship and the Tag Team championship was probably the weakest PPV main event in years. And it turned out to be a real stinker!! Austin & HHH pulled out every heel trick in the book and five minutes in I was in total sleeper mode!! Overall a real disappointment. Unlike two months ago at No Way Out where everyone was satisfied at the middle of the PPV and Wrestlemainia X-7 the month after where we saw an unbelievable main event. This looked like a real bad 1995-1996 In Your House event! BELOW AVERAGE: 2 STARS OUT OF 5

Summary: Could have been *MUCH*better
Review: Personally I think this PPV was good,but it was never so good as the 3 other ppv's this year. The PPV starts of with X-Factor(X-Pac,Albert & Justin Credible) vs. The Dudley Boyz(Bubba Ray,D-Von & Spike). This was a solid match, but not great. X-Factor wins,after the match,The Dudleyz 3-D X-Pac thru a table-->6.5/10 Then, we have the former ECW stars against each other. Raven challenges Rhyno for the Hardcore Title. Rhyno misses the Gore a few times(even in a supermarket car) but gives Raven later an amazing Gore. Rhyno wins and retains the title-->8.5/10 Next up,The Duchess of Queensburry Rules Match with William Regal & Y2J. This is just a cheap rip off of WCW's New Blood Rising 2000 match between Mike Awesome & Lance Storm. Jericho wins a few times, but the Duchess changes the rules. Regal wins after a few chairshots.-->7/10 Then, the best match of the night. 30 minute Ultimate Submission Match with Benoit & Angle. Benoit taps quick in the match. After 30 minutes, the score is 3 against 3.In over time, Benoit locks in the crossface to win the match.-->10/10 Last Man Standing:Shan-vs-Big Show. Shane wins with help from Test and an AMAZING elbow drop of the titan tron(but he misses the Show completely)-->7/10 European Title Match:Christian-vs-Eddie Guerrero-vs-Matt Hardy.Hardy retains the title after he pins Guerrero after the twist of fate-->5/10 World,Tag & IC title Match:Stone Cold & Triple H-vs-Kane & Undertaker.Bit boring match,Kane kicks Stephanie in the face.Austin & HHH win the tag titles after Triple H pins Kane-->6.5/10 Overall Rating:7/10 Next PPV:WWF Judgment Day w/Austin-vs-Taker,Chyna-vs-Lita,Benoit-vs-Angle and more

Summary: Backlash- A Decent Show
Review: The WWF presents Backlash, with what I believe to be one of the worst booked main events in history. The match ended up being ok but it didn't have it all. The matches were a six man tag with X-Factor (the best in the WWF) vs. The Dudleys---3/5 Rhyno vs. Raven for Hardcore Title---3/5 Jericho vs. Regal in a Dutchess Rules match---1/5 the worst on this ppv Angle vs. Benoit in a 30 minute submission match---4/5 Big Show vs. Shane in a Last Man Standing Match---3/5 Matt Hardy vs. Eddie Guerroro vs. Christian---4/5 (entertaining match) Austin,HHH vs. Taker,Kane all titles on the line---2.5/5 I didn't hate the ppv but it wasn't the best Better than No Way Out Angle and Benoit is worth the tape also the three way dance was excellent those were the best two matches on the show.

Summary: WWF Backlash 2001
Review: Not the best Backlash I have seen(WWF Backlash 1999 was better). Many people were excited about the HHH/Austin vs. Undertaker/Kane match. It was obvious that HHH & Austin would come out as champions. I was really disappointed with the match (even though i am a huge HHH fan)...

Summary: Don't even bother
Review: It's amazing. At some points in history, Vince McMahon has been an incredible genius. Wrestlemania X-7 was perhaps one of the greatest WWF pay per views in a longgggg time. Vince gave his team 29 days however to essentially build all new storylines and feuds as there were two rematches from Wrestlemania in William Regal my personal favorite in WWF right now vs Chris Jericho and Kurt Angle vs Chris Benoit. Perhaps a total set of rematches from wrestlemania with different stipulations would have been a much better PPV then what Backlash was. Your typical Raw is War is actually worth more of your time then Backlash simply because the card was entirely predictable for every match. The card opened up with a six man tag, nothing out of the ordinary, no table rules, no hard core rules, just ur simple boring opening match that really set a bad tone for the rest of the card. The next match pitted Raven vs Rhyno for the Hard Core Title. Definitly one of the highlights of the night but I personally thought the Hard Core Match at Wrestlemania was much more entertaining. Rhyno took some incredible bumps throughout the match. Next we come to perhaps the most entertaining spot of the night, The Duchess of Queensbury Rules matchup between William Regal and Chris Jericho. Personally I thought the match itself had some very decent wrestling moves for both individuals but it was perhaps Regal's comedic Duchess making the rules along the match that kept you entertained throughout the match. The next match was Kurt Angle vs Chris Benoit and a 30 man ultimate submission match. Good concept but poorly executed. Very predictable throughout the match but it was basically watching amateur submission holds throughout the match. No real huge wrestling moves such as Benoit's infamous headbutt or the Angle olympic slam which I found really dissapointing. Definitly the match to make some popcorn in up until around the last 5 minutes. Big Show vs Shane is just really another poor episode in the Big Show's WWF career taking the job to Shane McMahon, sorry about the spoiler but if I'm the only one who didn't see that one coming then wrestling fans have certainatly changed. Big Show really needs to think about a gimmick reevaluation, not a bad fall by Shane at the end but nothing compared to Foley's infamous falls. You could tell Shane really didn't plan it out as he basically jumped off the Scaffold and landed almost nowhere near the Big Show yet somehow got the pin from it? Pretty bad in my views. Matt Hardy defended his newly won Europeon Title vs Christian and Eddie Guerrero in a triple threat match. This was perhaps the most unpredictable match of the night as all 3 of these individuals really had a equal chance of winning the title. The problem with this match though is it has 3 days of hype behind it. 3 days of hype? And it's the match before the main event on a WWF Pay Per View? Paleeeeeeze. Finally to me perhaps the most dissapointing main event since Armageddon Hell in the Cell as it was WWF's sole hype up for the pay per view as 3 titles were on the line. It's no wonder that the WWF could not pull off a great pay per view here as they're three most prestigious titles were determined in one normal no stipulation tag team match between Undertaker/Kane and HHH/Austin. Yes you heard me right, the Tag Team, Intercontinental, and World Titles were all on the line in this match. Did anyone really expect HHH to lose the IC Title in the Main Event of a pay per view? To my knowledge in watching wrestling for 10 years I have never seen the IC Title change in the main event of a pay per view, come to think of it, I've never heard of the IC Title being on the line in the main event. Also, did anyone really think that Steve Austin would lose the World Title after just winning it 29 days ago at the biggest pay per view of the new millenium? So this basically left one possible outcome, Kane and the Undertaker who had just won the Tag Team Titles only "1 WEEK AGO" prior to the Pay Per View to lose their tag team titles to HHH and Austin. Again sorry about the spoiler but I found this to be even more predictable then Show/Shane and at least Show/Shane had a good bump at the end. This was perhaps next to the opening bout the most boring match of the evening. Definitly save your 15 dollars, go out and take your significant other out for dinner and put 2 1/2 hours of your life to good use.

Summary: Backlash 2001
Review: I thought the ppv was pretty cool. I like seeing Stone Cold as a heel. I thought the main event was cool especially when Stephanie got booted in the face. The dudley's and X-Factor was a crappy match and it shouldn't been on ppv.

Summary: Mixed reactions
Review: Backlash didn't, in my opinion, have much to live up to, because there was no real hype for any match besides the main event, as most of the matches were made on Raw or Smackdown right before the PPV with no history or ongoing fued. However it was pretty good, yet not great. X-Factor vs. The Dudley Boyz was nothing special, a very average match, possibly not worthy of making it to PPV, but it was an OK opener and X-Pac getting wood got a decent pop from the crowd. 2 out of 5 stars. Rhyno vs. Raven was the best Hardcore Title Match I've seen in a LONG time, very well done by both involved, but I personally found it hard to get into becuase there was ZERO history between the two. Awsome spots, very entertaining. 4 out of 5 stars. Jericho vs. Regal wasn't very good. The match was so obvious and easy to call, and was pretty boring. The gimmick was awful and the whole boring match was very predictable. 1.5 out of 5 stars. Benoit vs. Angle in the ultimate submission match displayed some great submission holds and mat work, but I think it is way overrated (as is their WM X-7 match). It was really boring at some points, and was way too long. 3.5 out of 5 stars. Shane vs. Big Show was pointless. There was no reason why these two should be fighting at all, besides the fact that Big Show needed a match and a Shane bump is always awsome. Shane takes a sick bump in an otherwise crappy match. 1.5 (w/o bump), 3.5 (w bump) out of 5 stars. Matt Hardy vs. Christian vs. Eddie Gurrero was okay. No history makes it pointless. Why waste time with Matt Hardy in singles action? Everyone likes Jeff better... Okay for a triple threat but too short. 2.5 out of 5 stars. Stone Cold and Triple H vs. Undertaker and Kane ... so much I can't describe it. It was just a really long Raw main event, only it eas worse because the length made it boring. Undertaker and Stone Cold need to retire. They're average brawlers with three moves they pull off half the time, with annoying redneck gimmicks. I'm also not buying this...SCSA. 1.5 out of 5 stars. Barely average show, but entertaining none the less, with a killer Shane-O-Mac bump.
