Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Backlash Review
Review: Good choice of openers with Ric Flair vs. Shelton Benjamin. I'm disappointed that the WWE dropped Benjamin's amateur wrestling tights and opted for the spandex shorts instead. The amateur tights gave Benjamin credibility as a wrestler, so to take it away from him is one step closer to depushing him completely. You watch! The opener was OK. As much as I like and respect Flair, he's getting too old to be responsible for putting over new talent. He just bumps the same way in every match now, and Benjamin's win won't help foward his singles push. So what if you beat an old guy way past his prime?

Next match was Johnathan Coachman vs. Tajiri. This match was pitiful, with Coach actually getting in offense. Since when did he have any wrestling training? Coach looked like he was training with Shane McMahon to wrestle, and that means looking amateur while Tajiri sells your weak moves like death (Kane would sell Shane's weak moves like they actually would hurt him). Tajiri actually lost this bad match, too, as Mr. Garrison Cade ran down to help out the Coach. Jindrak with Teddy Long? Cade with Johnathan Coachman? Talk about winning combinations. :rollseyes:

Christian/Trish Stratus vs. Chris Jericho was up next. The match was OK, but nothing that Jericho and Christian haven't done against each other already. Somewhat of a replica of Jericho vs. Christian, only with Trish added into the match. Chris Jericho would with the match with a roll up. Jericho's not motivated right now, thanks to bad WWE storylines and mishandling his unified championships in early 2002, and Christian just isn't impressive in the ring right now (in my opinion). End this storyline, NOW!

Next, it was Lita vs. Victoria. Is it just me, or has Lita given up on training lately? I don't want to knock her for anything that way, but she looked out of shape tonight and very slow in the ring. BAD women's match, as predicted, with Victoria trying to do her best. Good ol' Lita didn't roll out in time for the "missed" moonsault, thus blowing the spot and she ended up looking bad because Lita mounted offense immediately after that (despite getting hit partially with a moonsault). Victoria won the match, and afterward, Molly and the enhanced Gail Kim ran down for the attack. Dead crowd throughout the match.

Randy Orton vs. Mick Foley was up next. The WWE is hoping that this match will be good for Randy Orton, just as wrestling Foley at Royal Rumble 2000 was great for Triple H. Just remember that Randy Orton IS Triple H's understudy. This match was a total carry job by Mick Foley, with the exception of two bumps. I give all the credit in the world for his two bumps. One was his bare back on thumbtacks, the other was getting thrown off the side of the entranceway. Both HAD to have hurt. But other than that, Orton looked weak. Difference between Orton now and Triple H of 2000 is that HHH fought with more aggression and hatred towards his opponent, in addition to better brawling skills.

Pretty tacky of the WWE to advertise Stone Cold on the Fanatic series. Then again, maybe they had no choice? Then again, maybe they're just getting rid of Austin stuff as clearance and this is an example.

Next match was Edge vs. Kane, in what seemed to be a throwaway match. The match was somewhat short and nothing really special. Edge won the match after hitting Kane with the cast and then hitting the spear.

The main event was a Wrestlemania 20 rematch between Chris Benoit vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H. SAME THING happened at Wrestlemania 20 as it did here in Edmonton. HBK and Benoit were having a great match together, and then Triple H would run in to drag things down. HBK is older and has had worse injuries than HHH (aside from blown quad muscle), but yet he's twice as fast with Benoit than Triple H is. Triple H should have never been brought into this match, for Shawn Michaels was so hated by the Edmonton fans... HBK vs. Benoit in front of this crowd would have been a HUGE 5-star match, no doubt. Instead, HHH drags the flow of the match down a tad bit. The WWE played up the Survivor Series 1997 stuff with Earl Hebner getting into exact position with HBK holding the Sharpshooter on Benoit. That was dirty. Later, HBK would tap out to Benoit's version of the Sharpshooter, and Benoit has been put over again. Awesome. I'm very happy that Benoit got to retain his title, namely in his hometown. Now, give us HBK vs. Benoit!!!!!!!!

Summary: Some Bad Matches some good
Review: I recently wrote a review for WrestleMania and I will continue to make FUTUREISTIC predictions.

Sunday Night Heat Match:

Christian vs. Rhyno. This is a quick 3 minute match and it ends when Tomko and Tajiri come out and Christian gets distracted a turns into a GORE. Later in the night Christian & Tomko vs. Rhyno & Tajiri.
Winner=Rhyno around 3 minutes.

Backlash:

Jim Ross vs. Khosrow Daivari. This match never got underway because Hassan attacked JR backstage.

Eugene vs. Edge. This will be a solid 15 minute battle. Eugene will hit the Rock Bottom, Stone Cold Stunner & the Hogan leg drop but Edge will keep kicking out. Eugene is clapping to the crowd and turns right into a Spear from Edge.
Winner=Edge around 15 minutes.

Chris Jericho vs. Chris Benoit in a WrestleMania rematch. This will be a 25 minute battle like WrestleMania. It will not be as good as WrestleMania but this time Benoit taps out to The Walls of Jericho.
Winner=Chris Jericho around 25 minutes.

Trish Stratus vs. Victoria for the Women's Championship. The reason only Victoria is facing Trish because Lita got suspended for beating up Trish. This match ends when Trish hits the Stratusfaction. Lita attacks Trish at the end. It goes about 8:00.
Winner=Trish at 8 minutes.

Shelton Benjamin vs. Maven for the Intercontinental Championship in a No DQ match. This match goes about 19 minutes and it ends when Benjamin hit a T-Bone suplex onto a chair for the 3.
Winner=Shelton Benjamin at 19 minutes.

Christian & Tyson Tomko vs. Rhyno & Tajiri. This was a okay match and it ends at 7 minutes when Tomko pinned Rhyno after an Inverted spinning neckbreaker.
Winners=Christian & Tomko at 7 minutes.

Shawn Michaels vs. The Rock. This was the best match of the night. NO DOUBT!!!! Once again a complicated ending. HBK tunes up the band but The Rock gets a Lead Pipe and hits HBK with it. Edge comes down and Spears.....The Rock!?!? When The Rock gets up he pinnes HBK because he was still out after the Lead pipe shot.
Winner=The Rock at 40 minutes.

Batista vs. Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship w/ Randy Orton as Special Rules Enforcer in an Ironman Match. This was not the greatest Iron Man match ever but it was good. Pinfalls:
1st Fall: Batista pinned Triple H at 9:34 after a Sit-Down PowerBomb.
2nd Fall: Triple H pinned Batista at 29:35 after a Pedigree.
3rd Fall: Triple H pinned Batista at 45:56 after a chair shot.
4th Fall: Batista pinned Triple H at 54:12 after a Spinebuster.
5th Fall: Batista pinned Triple H at 59:58 after a Randy Orton RKO.
Winner=Batista

The reason Kane is not on this is because he hurt himself same with Snitsky.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Backlash 2004
Review: I watched this live on PPV and it was an amazing event, WWE has really stepped up the PPV broadcats. Here are the matches and my thoughts.

1. Ric Flair vs. Shelton Benjamin - Great opener of a match. Flair is and always will be "The Man". The only bad thing about this match was the finish. The move that Shelton used to win was a top rope clothesline that looked horrible but overall a good match.

2. Jonathan Coachman vs. Tajiri - Coach looked pretty good in this one but Tajiri should've won because he has many more years of experience.

3. Chris Jericho vs. Christian & Trish - Good match, Jericho is a great talent. Christian is alright but way to arrongant for his accomplishments. Trish is a great wrestler in the women's division.

4. Women's Championship Victoria vs. Lita - Great match, two of the greatest women wrestlers in the past 10 years.

5. I.C. Championship Street Fight Randy Orton vs. Mick Foley - Stole the show, Mick Foley definetly in his element here, but Rany Orton stepped up to the challenge and came out on top. Rany Orton is most likely the next big challenger to the World Championship.

6. La Resistance vs. Rosey & Hurricane - Not a good match, pretty much a filler, but Eugene is cool.

7. Edge vs. Kane - I expected more from this match seeing as it was Edge's return after 14 months.

8. Final Encounter Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Benoit - Great match, isn't as good as the WrestleMania XX match but still pretty good. The part where Earl Hebner came down to the ring when Shawn Michaels had the sharpshooter on Chris Benoit was funny. Overall a great PPV.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Big Dissapointment !!! Crap !!!
Review: Last night's WWE PPV, was one os the greatest lose of time and money that I have made. There was only one match that was really ggod and worth to see: CACTUS JACK vs. randy orton. It was a hardcore rules match, lots of blood ad acton.
The rest of the card wasn't good. HHH problems with being old and HBK been booed in Canada is nothing new ( It's public domain).
The only good thing is: THE RETURN OF CACTUS JACK !!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Possibly the best Backlash along with 2001
Review: OK, here is a REAL review...

This review is based on the PPV not the DVD.

Match 1: Shelton Benjamin vs. Ric Flair
7.5/10
Great opener. Ric can still go!
Winner: Shelton Benjamin

Match 2: Tajiri vs. Jonathan Coachman
7/10
Woah, Coach can wrestle? Not bad... He was actually impressive, but what can you really expect from The Coach? Bad ending though, Tajiri totally jobbed.
Winner: Jonathan Coachman

Match 3:
*Handicap Match*
Chris Jericho vs. Christian & Trish Stratus
8.5/10

Pretty good. Y2J finally got his revenge on the Creepy Little (...) and the Dirty, Disgusting, Bottom-feeding, Trash-bag, Ho!
Winner: Chris Jericho

Match 4:
*Women's Championship*
Lita vs. Victoria(c)
8.5/10
This was very good and entertaining! Lita and Victoria are two of the very few women in the WWE that can actually wrestle and look good doing it. I am a big fan of Women's Wrestling when done right, and this match did just that. I really wanted Lita to win though, I mean come on, it's been 3 1/2 years since she's held the Title. But, I'm sure she'll have another shot. Great competition from both women.
Winner: Victoria

Match 5:
*Intercontinental Championship*
*Hardcore Match*
*Evolution Banned From Ringside*
Cactus Jack vs. Randy Orton(c)
10/10
WOW! EXCELLENT MATCH! VERY BRUTAL! DID JUST WHAT THEY BOTH SAID! I thought that Cactus Jack would win but Randy really took a beating and all that Mick can give. On this night, Randy Orton truly proved that he is a worthy competitor and truly earned my respect.
Winner: Randy Orton

Match 6: La Resistance vs. The Hurricane & Rosey
DUD
This stupid fill-in was made a half-hour ago on HEAT. No reason for this crap at all except to waste time. Funny appearance by Eugene though.
Winners: The Hurricane & Rosey

Match 7: Edge vs. Kane
7/10
Man, I am really dissapointed by this match... I really thought that this match would be better especially with the return of Edge after over a year.
Winner: Edge

Main Event:
*The Final Encounter*
*World Heavyweight Championship*
*Triple Threat Match*
Chris Benoit(c) vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H
10/10
WOW! ANOTHER INCREDIBLE MATCH! JUST AS GOOD AS THEIR WRESTLEMANIA BATTLE! Benoit, against all odds proved that he is not just another One-Hit-Wonder! The Crowd was UNBELIEVABLE! They were into every match. "YOU SCREWED BRET" chants for HBK and "YOU TAPED OUT" chants for HHH. Chris Benoit got of course the greatest pops and the crowd was with him all the way.
Winner: Chris Benoit

OVERALL:
Overall analysis is based on Arena setup, Crowd reactions, Wrestler attire, Commentating, Stroylines behind the matches, the Matches themselves, and of course how entertaining the PPV was.
8.7/10
This is a worthy purchase, great event although I would wait a while and buy this from someone on the Marketplace for a cheaper price. All of the matches on the card had a good storyline behind them except the fill-in. The crowd was just as good and as pumped throughout the night as New York's crowd. The commentating was nice and funny. Well, I hope this was a helpful review for you, Later.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This should be the best of the Backlashes
Review: Okay, it's more then a month till Backlash comes. All I know is that Backlash will come live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Plus it will be a Raw brand only show. (unfortunately)

I can only predict one match and that is-

World Heavyweight Championship Match:
Chris Benoit will defeat Triple H in his hometown to become the new World Heavyweight Champion.

I will update this review as Backlash grows nearer.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: pretty good ppv
Review: only thing was i wanted kane to win the heavyweight title but oh well he'll get it eventually (like he always does).
at least triple h won the hell in a cell, that match was assome.
RAW is the better show.
SMACKDOWN can't compare.
only good smackdown superstars are JBL,RVD,DUDLEY BOYZ, CENA,& BOOKER-T
=)
