Rating: Summary: worst of 2002 Review: this pay per view ... i mean it was horrible it was so bad that the best match on the whole card was brock vs. jeff. Hogan is old and needs to retire. The entrance themes were messed up im talkin like edge had his first theme from like early 99. undertaker had some un liscensed theme even though he had the rollin titan tron video. the nwo had a really messed up theme it didnt even have the people talking the only people that were major people in the ppv that didnt have there entrance themes messed with were rvd, latino heat, jeff hardy,hhh, and hulk hogan. ric flair also had a messed up theme. kid man lost to tajiri 5/10 trish lost to jazz 3/10 bradshaw lost to hall .5/10 brock destroyed jeff hardy9.5/10 undertaker beat austin 5/10 maven and al lost to billy and chuck 0/10 hulk hogan beat hhh 2/10 eddie gurrerro beat rvd 2/10 Kurt angle beat edge 10/10 The special features were ok the big show ... i mean they make him fight jobbers why not put him up against people like rikishi or brock lesnar at least give him one half of the tag titles. instead of makin him face justin credible raven steven richards funaki etc. This dvd ... and im 13 years old and i have been watching since i was 4 if you want a good ppv get wwe summerslam 2000,2002.
Rating: Summary: Saddest moment in wrestling history on a One Match card Review: This pay per view is not worth buying. I sat first row ringside live at this event which made it fun, but it was not that great from a wrestling stand point. tajiri vs kidman was a good solid match, but it isn't anything better than their matches that they have been having on raw that you can watch for free. RVD vs Eddie gurrerro, RVD didn't bring his A game with him to kansas city, if you want to see these two collide buy the judgement day 2002 dvd Kurt Angle vs Edge was an excellent match, it was better than their "hair vs hair match" at judgement day, it was very entertaining and the only match that makes this dvd worth buying. Broc Lesner vs Jeff Hardy, horrible match, a complete squash using the same 3 moves that Broc has done in all his matches on raw. Other matches not really worth mentioning include trish vs jazz bradshaw vs scott hall al snow and maven vs chuck and billy stone cold vs the undertaker all these matches were bad, pointless, sloppy and are not even worth talking about. and then it happened........ THE SADDEST MOMENT IN WRESTLING HISTORY a 50 year old Hulk Hogan beats HHH for the world title, the only lower point in the history of wrestling that i can think of is David Arquette winning the wcw title. This was the move that caused WWF/WWE television programs to fall to all time low ratings and nearly caused the wwf to go bankrupt. it is an insult to wrestling and wrestling fans. If you want to see Hulk hogan, shame on you, if you insist on watching him get wrestlemania 5 on vhs. If the wwf / wwe doesn't get their act together they are going to go out of business when kurt angle leaves to train for the 2004 olympics. Right now he is the only thing that they have going. And if you but this dvd buy it only for the Angle vs Edge match.
Rating: Summary: Backlash 2002 Review: This ppv was at all one of the worst ppv in my life the only good one was the womens on The main event was not at all what i expected it to be it was a as bad as the first match the rvd eddie match was also a good one all in all this is not a good ppv
Rating: Summary: Hit and Miss Review: This ppv you'll either HATE, or you'll LOVE it. As much of a hit or miss as you can get.... Little something for everyone, good moments, forgettable moments.. but decent nonetheless..
OUT OF 5 STARS
WWE Cruserweight Championship
Tajiri v. Billy Kidman **1/2
Good, solid match. Nothing outstanding. Lots of high flying and flips and dips that come with the smaller guys. Nothing too great, but very solid no less.
Bradshaw v. Scott Hall **1/2
I'm kinda dumbfounded as to how Bradshaw ended up being the nWo cop, but then again, that's the WWE for ya. Horrible booking for this match but all things considered, these two put on the best show they could given the circumstances. Nothing great here, but again, a passable match.
WWE Women's Championship
Jazz (c) v. Trish **1/2
Actually a pretty decent match! By far the suprise of this DVD. Both use their fulll moveset and do actually look decent in the ring. As far as women's wrestling is concerned, this is a good showing.
Brock Lesnar v. Jeff Hardy **
Good match for Brock to showcase his stuff. Absolutely DESTROYS Hardy. Hardy does a good job of selling as well. Nothing wow. By all means a squash match. But that was it's purpose. Brock was mighty impressive.
Edge v. Kurt Angle ***
An outstanding match! Very good spots and both really look solid here. Match of the night so far.
WWE Intercontinental Championship
Rob Van Dam (c) v. Eddie Guererro ****
Another outstanding match, and this time, IS the match of the night. Eddie's first match back and it's a great show!
#1 Contenders Match Ric Flair Special Guest Referee
Stone Cold Steve Austin v. The Undertaker ***
Good match, but I think these two can do better. The screwjob ending kinda hurt it too... Again, Solid, but nothing eye popping.
WWE Undisputed Championship Match
Triple H (c) v. Hollywood Hulk Hogan ***
As far as actual action in the match, it's slow and plodding. Hogan just isn't main event material anymore, but nonetheless, the match is full of emotion and there's great psychology between the two. I enjoyed it just for the drama, but the action itself isn't anything to get excited about.
Overall this is a decent ppv. The matches are either very emotional or very good in the ring. Only the intercontinental title match really combined both. Worth a buy if you're a big Hogan fan, but other then that i'd go with a solid rental. If you want a decent watch on a friday night, it's worth picking up for a rental. I'd save the big money on this though..
Rating: Summary: THE BEST EVER............................ Review: This was a sensational PPV event. The WWE has put on the best shows as of late. The matches were unbelivable. They were fast, furious and brutal. The best PPV of the year!!!!! WWE Light-Heavyweight Championship Billy Kidman v Tagiri This was a great opener. One of the best matches on the card. Billy Kidman is so impressive and I hope to see more crusierweight matches in the future. Lots of high-flying and close pinfalls hype the crowd up in this great opening contest. Bradshaw v Scott Hall You would of expected this to be a typical match between two roughneck brawlers. Think again, this was a smash mouth in your face slobebr knocker and the reuniting of the APA hyped up the fans. Bradshaw is ready for singles match-ups and he put it all ont he line, taking a beating but returning twice as bad. The interfernece of X Pac led to Farrooq delivering an APA style butt kicking to the little member of the nWo. WWE Womans Championship Trish v Jazz Oh what a match!!!!! This was great, sexy and watchable in every way. Finally, the women put on a good show (not as good as the womens match at Wrestlemania X8) but still a great contest. Jeff Hardy v Brock Lesner WOW!!!That Brock is one tough and strong competitor. He lays out the biggest beaten on a dismantled Jeff Hardy and their are alot of OOOOOS and AAAHHHHS from the crowd. Great Match!!!!!!!! Kurt Angle v Edge SHOW STEALER!!!!!!!!!! This was the greatest and most intense match of the night. Two of the greatest superstars in the WWE go at it. This match had the fans on their feet for 20 minutes! It was tense, brutal and techinal. Both Edge and Angle stole the show with this epic match. A MATCH OF THE YEAR CANADATE!!!!! WWE Intercontinental Championship RVD v Eddie Guerriro Another great match. Alot of high spots and bad falls. These two work well as they both deliver the Frog Splash like no other!!!! Stone Cold v Undertaker This was great!! Maybe a bit to long, but a smash mouth match. Funny in parts and brutal in ways. Flair adds the tension and Austin kicks 3:16 butt like old times. The crowd are wild during this long-awaited match and the ending is unexpected!! WWE Undisputed Championship Triple H v Hulk Hogan LEGENDARY! SENSATIONAL! UNFORGETTABLE! SPECTACLE!! This was one hell of a main event! History is made as a legend is reborn! This is emotional and has the greatest ending to a PPV of all time!!!! Hulkster runs wild with the fans whilst the Game stands alone in a bitter fight to retain his dream
Rating: Summary: Best PPV of 2002 Review: This was the best PPV of 2002 period. It was held in the Kemper arena in Kansas city missouri.It was on April 21,2002. Just 1 month and 4 days afer a very good Wrestlemania X8. 1.Cruiserweight championship: Billy Kidman vs Tajiri W/torrie. **** this match was a great opener of backlash with Two lightweights involved in it. 2.Bradshaw vs. scott Hall ***: This was an o.k. match I just think that they were lookingfor low rivalries to face off. 3.Womens championship:Trish vs. Jazz *** This was a very good match because it involved girls. But other then that With molly coming out and beating trish up it made the match kinda short. 4.Brock Lesner vs. Jeff hardy ****.this was a very good match because Brock lesner cant be stopped. It was originally supposed to be Matt hardy fighting but he got hurt so Jeff steped in. 5.Edge vs. Kurt angle *****. this was one of the best matches of the night. All through the match the fans were out of there seats.There was alot of tension between those two just because of KING of the RING. That is when tis rivalry all started. 6.Intercontinental Championship: Rob van Dam vs.Eddie Guerrero.*****This match was just plain old good.Since Eddie Guerrero has returned he has mad Rob Van dams life a living HEL*.After so many interferences He finally gets his shot to win the title. They call the match Frog splash vs. Frog splash. 7.Undertaker vs. stone cold steve austin Special Referee:Ric Flair****match was pretty good except it was very long.This match wasFor the no.1 contenders spot and in this match these two superstars didnt dissapoint the fans.In my view I liked this match because they are two of the biggest superstars in the WWE today. 8.Tag team championship:Billy and chuck w/rico vs.Maven and Al snow ***. I gave this a three stars because the match wast very planned out and it was even shorter then the womens championship. This match went on for a max of 7 minutes maybe. 9.Undisputed championship: Triple H vs.Hulk Hogan.******.This match was the best match of the night.I gave this 6 stars because the two biggest names In the WWE were fighting. For Triple H it was probably an honor To be fighting withh a legand.All of te match I liked. There wasnt one part of the match that I was dissapointed in.With an amazing ending, you have to see it to believe it. Overall this is oneof the best PPV that I have ever seen.I own over thirty-five WWF Well WWE now movies and this PPV is in my top three. This is a must buy. And if you dont buy it you will feel sorry that yu didnt. I have already pre- Ordered this movie and I cant wait for it to come out. i will probably be watching this over and over.When I said It was in my top three No.1 is Backlash 2002, No.2 is Wrestlemania X8, and No.3 Is Backlash 2001.Those are te three movies I reccomend for you to buy now.
Rating: Summary: April 2002 - Kemper Arena - Kansas City, Missouri Review: This was the first PPV were the superstars were on two different shows, although they both were at this PPV.
1. Tajiri vs. Billy Kidman (Cruiserweight Title)
Amazing way to kick off the show. Great action from beginning to end. One of the best cruiserweight matches of the year. (9/10)
2. Scott Hall vs. Bradshaw
I don't really know why this match was on here. The WWF has been trying forever to bring up Bradshaw in the singles ranks and finally it has worked, but not for this match. This was Scott Hall's last appearance in the WWF before he was fired. Nothing too exciting in the match. (6.5/10)
3. Jazz vs. Trish Stratus (Women's Title)
Women's match. Nothing happens. (2/10)
4. Brock Lesnar vs. Jeff Hardy
Lesnar's first appearance at a WWF PPV. He had already injured Matt Hardy on RAW and he tossed Jeff around like a rag doll in this match. Lesnar is just so strong. (7.5/10)
5. Edge vs. Kurt Angle
This match kicked off their long lasting fued. This match stole the show. The two have great chemisty together and battled it out to the end. Good finish with a lot of near falls. (9/10)
6. Eddie Guerrero vs. Rob Van Dam (Intercontinental Title)
Eddie's return to the ring started his rise up the ranks. Good match between the two although it could have been a little better, but Eddie had a lot of ring rust. (8/10)
7. Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Undertaker (#1 Contender Undisputed Title/Ric Flair as Guest Referee)
One of the most boring matches I have ever seen. The match is very long, slow paced, goes by very slow, and is way too predictable. (3/10)
8. Billy & Chuck vs. Maven & Al Snow (Tag Titles)
It is nice to see Maven and Snow teaming together, but nothing really happens. Okay match. (7/10)
9. Triple H vs. Hollywood Hulk Hogan (Undisputed Title)
Not the best match, but it was needed. Triple H made Hogan look good in this match. Undertaker and Vince McMahon makes appearances over the course of the match. (7.5/10)
This PPV was decent, but nothing too great. I do not recommend picking up this DVD.
Overall Rating: 7/10
Rating: Summary: Backlash 2k2 Review: Well, a really good pay-per-view until we got to the double main events. Hogan and Taker (as much as i like The Dead Man) are single handedly killing the WWE's product. Billy Kidman and Tajiri actually hold the crowd's attention (which is hard to do when you're a Cruiserweight) with an awesome opener and match. Scott Hall vs. Bradshaw is better left not talked about Trish vs. Jazz was a tad disappointing knowing how good these two are when it comes to putting on a good match. Brock completely destroys Jeff Hardy, making him just another Goldberg wannabe. In an early Match Of The Year Candidate, Edge and Angle tear the roof off of the house with a ****1/2 match. definately Edge's best match. (look who he was facing) RVD and Eddie Guerrero face off next in the second of a string of awesome matches. they prove you don't have to destroy each other with dangerous spots to have a godd match. next, however, the show goes to hell. Austin and Undertaker was supposed to be good/great but these two were way off on this night. what's worse is that they got 30 minutes to put on a match that was extremely boring and unmotivated. Billy and Chuck against Al Snow and Maven looked like it might be good but it wasn't. Al Snow and Maven looked like they were trying deperately to have a good match but Billy supplied us with the normal suckfest. Hollywood Hogan is overrated and Triple H hasn't been as good as he was since his injury, so, needless to say,this was horrible. just like 18 years ago, Hogan wins his way to a World Title despite not having an ounce of talent. Is Backlash worth buying? YES. Watch as Hogan holds down Kidman, Tajiri, RVD,Eddie Guerrero,Edge, and Kurt Angle. Plus, Austin continues to get [cheated] by the WWE as he is put into senseless feuds with guys who should have been retired a year or 10 ago. in all actuality, the whole card, except for the last three matches, is worth watching. just make sure that, as Taker's match comes up, you Fast Forward and don't look back.
Rating: Summary: WOW, that's all I have to say Review: What a unpredicteable night! MATCHES (C)=title holder going into match 1-Tajiri w/Torrie Wilson vs. Kidman(C)/WWE Cruiserweight title Everyone thought Torrie was going to turn on Tajiri but she didn't and Tajiri came up with a victory 2-Bradshaw vs. Hall w/X-Pac-probably the worst match of the night but no complaints 3-Jazz(C) vs. Trish Stratus/womans title-Good womans title match, could have been better. 4-Brock Leasner vs. Jeff Hardy-no contest, Leasner destroys Jeff, if you hate the Hardy Boys you'll like this match 5-Edge vs. Angle-Great match very exciting and a great ending! 6-RVD(C) vs. Eddie Guerrrero/IC title-What a match, couldn't have been better, Eddie's first match back! 7-Undertaker vs. Stone Cold w/ Special guest Ref. Ric "woo" Flair for #1 contendership for WWE undisputed title-Another great match with a contriversial finish, a must see! 8-Chuck n' Billy(C) w/ Rico vs. Maven(tough enough 1 winner) and Al snow for the WWE tag team championships-A very exciting match, will have you off your feet HHH(C) vs. 'Hollywood' Hulk Hogan WWE undisputed championship- A outstanding match with a lot of excitement, Hulk Hogans first title shot since '94, eight years!
Rating: Summary: A good Pay per view Review: WWE Backlash 2002 was great. The first Pay Per View with the brand extension was not bad at all. Here are all the matches and how they were...... #1 WWE Cruiserweight Championship: Tajiri (with Torrie Wilson) vs Billy Kidman- A great opening and solid match between two cruiserwights. The only bad thing was having to seeing Torrie in that ridiculous outfit. #2 Bradshaw (with Farooq) vs Scott Hall (with X-pac) a match that really could have been. The rivalry was exiting but this match was boring. The only exciting thing was Bradshaw (from RAW) being with his former APA partner Farooq (from Smackdown!) #3 WWE Women's Championship: Trish Stratus vs Jazz- Not as good as the match from Royal Rumble 2002. Could have been better if there wasn't interference from Molly Holly before the match started. #4 Jeff Hardy (with Lita) vs Brock Lesnar (with Paul Heymen) a not so good match because already did Brock Lesnar (being so big strong) had an unfair advantage and he was just showing off what he could do to people smaller then him. #5 Edge vs Kurt Angle- A great exciting match between 2 former buds. This match led the rivalry up to the "Hair vs Hair" match at Judgment Day and made Edge bring the "YOU SUCK" T-shirt #6 WWE Intercontinental Championship: RVD vs Eddie Gurrero- A nice match that deserves two thumbs up. The Frog Splashes were awesome #7 No. 1 contenders match for WWE title: Undertaker vs Stone Cold with special guest Ref. Ric Flair- A good solid. Lots of good moves happened and although the match took a long time there was a real shocking end! #8 WWE Tag Team Championship: Al Snow & Maven vs Billy & Chuck (with Rico)- A bad match because to Billy & Chuck, all it was about was beating up the rookie Maven. #9 WWE Undisputed Championship: HHH vs Hollywood Hulk Hogan- a good ending match. These two put up a good match with their sweet moves. The interference from Chris Jericho and the Undertaker made the match more exciting. Overall, I thing that WWE Backlash 2002 was a really good pay per view. I guarantee anybody who buys will like it. Get it.
