Rating: Summary: Backlash 2k1!! Review: Good Pay Per View!! Not the Best but not the worst. Awesome Extras with Sunday Night Heat matches!!
Rating: Summary: An OK Show Review: As pay-per-views go, The post wrestlemania Backlash is pretty average. It had it's ups (Raven/Rhyno: Hardcore Heaven!) and it's lows ( main event: Who did not have a prediction?). The only really event of note to take place was the debut of Shane McMahon's Kick-butt new Theme Music (Here Comes The Money!).

Rating: Summary: Somewhat average PPV, decent DVD... Review: I was extremely excited when I saw this live right here in Chicago, Illinois, this being my first ever PPV live in person. I have to say I was somewhat disappointed. Taking place during the same month of WresleMania X-7, I knew the guys behind the scenes might try and rush things to culminate on the procedding PPV. The WWF was 3 for 3 on great PPVs when WrestleMania turned out to be an outstanding PPV and in my opinion probably the greatest WrestleMania yet. I was getting excited when they started booking the matches especially the main event with all the major titles on the line. There were only 3 matches I thought were good, but not exciting. Those included the main event, the triple threat European title match, and the Last Man Standing match involving Shane McMahon jumping off over 50 feet off the entrance structure. The Angle/Benoit match could have been better. What in the world was that Dutchess of Queensbury match thing all about? To sum it up, the event could have been a lot better, but I'm not pointing fingers at anyone. Who could blame the WWF for putting on 3 tremendous PPVs in a row before this one? As for the DVD extras, all you get are 2 matches from Sunday Night Heat that are probably less than 10 minutes each and interviews and segments that you already get before each match. I bought this just for the sake of knowing I was there but I probably wouldn't recommend buying this.
Rating: Summary: backlash was pretty cool Review: Backlash wasn't that bad, the match I really liked was the 30 minute submission match between Kurt Angle against Chris Benoit. The main event was kind of a boring match. I liked the hardcore match between Rhyno and Raven. The X-Factor and Dudley match was a nice opener to the ppv.Jericho and Regal match was pretty good, I thought it was better than their match at wrestlemania. The last man standing match was amazing and I liked what Shane did when he jumped of the set to land on the Big Show. Overall the Pay-per-view was really cool.
Rating: Summary: Backlash....an alright ppv Review: I'm not exactly sure why I even said this ppv was alright. I mean, Wrestlemania X-Seven was just too tough of an event to follow in my opinion. Don't get me wrong though, Backlash did provide some pretty cool entertainment with the Benoit/Angle Ultimate Submission Match and the Triple Title Tag Match between Austin/Triple H and Underaker/Kane. Bottom line, it's only worth buying if you are a hardcore wrestling fan, or if you missed the event and need it for the collection. Not the worst for 2001 so far, but certainly not the best. My advice, rent it if you are not sure. But, if you not sure and need one more reason to get it, get it for the Last Man Standing match between McMahon/Big Show. That was one hell of a leap from the 50ft Backlash superstructure.

Rating: Summary: Backlash aka "That's It!?" Review: The worst PPV so far in the year of 2001. Highly mediocre main-event. The only good things about this PPV are the Hardcore match, and Shane McMahon's major bump off the top of the entrance-way. Buy this if you want to see WWF at its worst. Buy "Wrestlemania 17" if you want to see WWF at its best. Dudley Boyz vs. X-Factor: DUD Hardcore Championship - Raven vs. Rhyno: 4.4 Match, this is what Hardcore bouts should be about Dutchess Of Queensbury Match - Chris Jericho vs. William Regal: 2.5 Match, ... 30-Minute Ultimate Submission Match - Kurt Angle vs. Chris Beniot: 2.8 Match, They didn't really get to express their great technical skills Last Man Standing - Big Show vs. Shane "O-Mac" McMahon: 4.0, Simply for Shane's jump on the Big "Slow" European Championship - Eddie Guerrero vs. Christian vs. Matt Hardy: 2.7, Average grappling bout Tri-Tile Tag Match (World, Ic, & Tag-Team belts on line) - Steve Austin & HHH vs. Undertaker & Kane: 2.6, a bad match for a main event featuring "Underbiker" complete with "Rollin'" music. ....
Rating: Summary: "I think it is underrated by most people" Review: WWE Backlash 2001 came off of Wrestlemania 17 twenty-nine days after without to many expectations, for what was expected of the pay per view (ppv) I believe it came off pretty well, I think it is underrated by most people. Below is a review of all the matches, the overall extra features and the overall DVD, hopefully it will help you decide if u should buy this DVD or not. The review will not directly give away who wins any of the matches but the winner may seem pretty obvious by my explanations of the matches. ( Match Reviews ) --- 6-Man Tag-Team Championship Match - Bubba, Devon and Spike Dudley Vs X-Pac, Justin Credible and Albert --- This match was good, it had a little high risk in it, a couple of cool moves and the ending was clean enough making this a pretty good match. After the match a table was used to fulfill the Chicago crowds needs. (5.5/10) --- Hardcore Championship Match - Raven Vs Rhyno --- This match was a great hardcore match, no interference's, just one on one hard hitting hardcore action, Rhyno had to gore a steal chair and a shopping cart to finally gore Raven once. Its is amazing how one shopping cart basically made this match as it was used in many awesome ways. Definitely an above average match by two ECW animals. (8/10) --- Dutchess of Queensberry Rules Match - Chris Jericho Vs William Regal --- This was another good match despite the rules being changed randomly threw out it, there was lots of action and it was well paced. It was quite a bit better then I expected it to be. (6/10) --- 30-Minute Ultimate Submission Match - Chris Benoit Vs Kurt Angle --- This match is great for what it is, lots of counter wrestling and submissions, the pace was slow at parts due to the 30 minute time limit but when the pace decided to pick up, its took off. Good performance. (7/10) --- Last Man Standing Match - Shane Mcmahon Vs Big Show --- I found most of this match rather boring, Big show took lots of abuse in this match, tons of kendo sticks and chair shots. As boring as I thought the beginning of this match was the ending was just nuts, Shane Mcmahon did a elbow drop off the very top of the 35 foot titan tron, despite the fact that Shane just barely touched Big Show with that elbow drop, its still one of the craziest things I have seen in wrestling. However as a whole match it wasn't so good, although the elbow drop adds a lot. (6.5) --- Triple-Threat European Championship Match - Matt Hardy Vs Christian Vs Eddie Guerrero --- Nothing to special about this match, it could have been a lot better, the pace was pretty good though. I think the match would be better without the interference's. Jeff Hardy almost completely missed his swanton bomb while attempting to help his brother. Pretty good match. (5.5/10) ---Heavyweight, IC and Tag Team Championship Match - Stone Cold Steve Austin and Triple H Vs Undertaker and Kane --- The main event was boring. The action was slow and the ending was predictable. Contains some good action but for the most part this match is a sleeper. (3.5/10) ( Extra Features ) There is a very limited amount of extra features on this DVD, included is basically all the interviews and matches of Sunday Night Heat which aired before the ppv and match histories which are actually already in the PPV. The matches are actually pretty good, the first one is a cruiserweight match with the debut of Jerry Lyn Vs Crash Holly and the second is an great women's match between Lita and Molly Holly. Overall you are basically just getting the Sunday Night Heat before Backlash since that's where all the special features came from. Nothing special but once again, good women's match. (4/10) ( Overall DVD ) This is an average DVD, the special features are weak, so is the main event, but there are a few good matches to see and a amazing bump done by Shane Mcmahon that make this DVD worth being watched at least once. Its really up to you to decide if this is a DVD for you to buy or not, I'm just trying to help you come up with a decision.
Rating: Summary: very poor ppv. Review: after wwf delivered such a strong wrestlmania you would of thought backlash would of been fairly good, but there are only a few reasons that make this video even rentable. Rhyno vs. raven actually braught some hardcore to the hardcore title, in a great match with some great spots. Benoit vs. angle in a 30 miniute submission match was good but not as good as you would think but still one of the best on the card, dudlys/x-factor was alright but nothing special, same for the european championship. wait around for judgment day and buy that one, its alot better.
