Summary: Backlash 2003, Worst WWE PPV in 8 years
Review: Here are the themes changed from the original in the DVD:
-Dudley Boyz
-Rob Van Dam
-Kane
-Ric Flair
-Booker TJonathan Coachman aka "The Coach" and Jerry "The King" Lawler do the RAW commentary, while Michael Cole and Tazz cover SmackDown! Ok these are my feelings and not neccessarily the feelings of everyone in the world. Backlash 2003 is an extended RAW or SmackDown TV event without the breaks of commercials that you sit watching, but can't wait for it to end. The messed up theme ruins it to a point too. why can't WWE shell out the extra bucks to keep the DVDS straight!? There is no break out match. Everything from Jazz's way of winning the Women's Title to Rock's pre-match promo and everything inbetween, before, after & all-around, [was bad]! The new Goldberg music is horrible. Just classic WWE and McMahon trying to put his stamp on everything! The change was not needed. The Rock vs. Goldberg actually wasn't that bad. The theme by "Cold" was [bad]! Best thing is "The Rock after Backlash" DVD Extra. After Backlash went off the air, you see Rock selling the beating Rock took from Goldberg. He puts over Goldberg and the spear's huge. It takes him forever to get to his feet and even o his feet he's still holding his abdomin. The pay-per-view was very disappointing. Has to be the worst Backlash to date. The 6 Man Tag was leading nowhere. It seemed to have no point. The character's didn't seem in to it. Just out there to do there cause they were supposed to be. Like a lot of the rest of the matches. Brock vs. Cena was even very disapponting. It reminded me of some of the worst pay-per-views of the wrestle... 1995 era, a bad year for the WWF. WrestleMania XIX was so awesome. No Way Out was so good too. It had the after RAW return of Stone Cold Steve Austin. And Royal Rumble was good as well. Except TripleH/Steiner. And now Backlash was real ...Bad. Terrible..
While watching it, all I could think of was that I wanted it to end. I hate that the themes are changed too. Don't know what that Booker T ... was. The DVD is a waste of money. I should return or exchange it, but I need to get the box set I want. None of the matches had any real build-up, except the Rock vs. Goldberg, which the WWE was obviously building up as the big-time match-up for the card. And Goldberg was built up wrong for it. Rock didn't do even close as good a job building up Goldberg than as he did The Hurricane. He should of been portrayed more as the heel to the crowd than he was. Bottom Line: Don't waste your money on this ... Put you money to better use like the "From The Vault: Shawn Michaels" DVD.

Summary: I give it a 3 1/2 stars
Review: I don't think this PPV deserves the hype that it has been receiving, but for what it's worth, it's wasn't that bad. It was one of those experimental ppv's. What I mean by that is tha WWE put in some new faces and new storylines to see if they work.
In some areas they did well in some areas but failed in others. The good matches on the card was Brock Lesnar vs John Cena. I have always been impressed with Cena's wrestling ability and I'm glad to see him get a push even if the gimmick's a little lame. The match wasn't quite as good as the Angle/Lesnar match at WrestleMania but they still worked well together. Kane/RVD vs The Dudleys was a good match as well and with Cheif Morley as the special guest referee made it more entertaining to watch. Morley tried to screw RVD and Kane but it backfired and even got the 3-D from the Dudleys for his troubles. Bubba Ray received a chokeslam and the 5 star frog splash after the 3-D. The six man tag was decent. Everyone did get some quality wrestling time in the match. Nash looked like he has cleared up some ring rust and Flair put up a decent performance for someone who hasn't competed in a ppv since October. But the match could've been better. Los Guerreros vs Team Angle wasn't that great of a match but on an entertainment value, it was good. Guerreros lived up to their family motto and that is lying, cheating, and stealing as they making more illegal tags than I could keep count. Team Angle won when Haas pinned Chavo and Benjamin held on to his legs. Team Angle came out to a portrait of Kurt with gold medals in honor of Kurt during his neck surgery. As they were celebrating, Guerreros attacked them and stole the tag team titles and the antics afterwards was hilarous! The rest of the card was not that good! However, Goldberg made a decent return in his match against the Rock but it was way overhyped!

Summary: Highs and lows...
Review: I just got this DVD for X-mas! I love it, but it definitely has some low points in it...
Match #1 Los Guererros vs. Team Angle (c) for the WWE Tag Team Championships: Good match with Team Angle retaining! First low point of the night...Los LOOSERS steal the tag titles and get away with it...LAME!!! 5/10 for the horrid ending!!!
There are several dumb segments which lead to other low points in the night where Test flirts with Torrie, Sable rats Torrie out to Stacy, Stacy beats Torrie down!, Torrie gets some offense in and a box falls on Stacy's head, Steiner to the rescue, Test gets pissed!, start of a horrible fued!!! All the lowest points of the evening!!! Thanks Torrie for being on Smackdown, yet managing to start one of RAW's worst feuds ever!
Match #2 Rikishi vs. Sean O'Haire w/ Roddy Piper: Another low point of the night. Garbage like this gets on PPV and no match for Benoit!!! O'Haire (looser) wins after Rikishi is distracted by Piper over a stupid coconut! HORRIBLE!!! 1/10
Match #3 RVD & Kane (c) vs. The Dudleys w/ Chief Moreley as SGR for the World Tag Team Championships: Great match, except for Moreley. Dudleys realize this sucks and destroy Moreley and Lance Storm. After a chokeslam and frogsplash, Kane and RVD retain! 9/10
Match #4 Jazz vs. Trish Stratus (c) for the Women's Championship: Yet another bad match with Jazz ending it quickly. Jazz sucks so so bad and didn't deserve to win the title. Teddy Long makes up for her horridness with some comedy relief in this stinker of a match! B'LEDAT PLAYA! 2/10
Match #5 Big Show vs. Rey Mysterio: What a squash!!! Rey gets some offense in, but Big Show destroys this little weasel with one of the most wicked chokeslams I think I have ever seen. Then takes the stretcher Rey is on and smashes it against the turnbuckle!!! Way to go Show!!! 10/10
Match #6 Brock Lesnar (c) vs. John Cena for the WWE Championship: I was surprised that Cena even got this title shot. I wish he would go back to being a heel like he was here! Brock wins after an awesome match, to retain his title. For the record, Brock sucks!!! 9/10
Match #7 Kevin Nash, HBK, & Booker T vs. HHH, Ric Flair, & Y2J in a 6 man tag match: How did this make it higher on the card then the WWE championship? This was the worst match of the night with horrible performances by all these great talents! Booker T should have been World Champ here, but we know the HH would never job to the Bookman. Kevin Nash and Jericho also deserve much better then this! Well the heels win here, LAME!!!
0/10
Match #8 Rock vs. Goldberg: I'm glad this was the main event, but it was way too short. Rock basically got man-handled where it could have been a brawl. But they feel they had to sell Goldberg as a dominator, when really most of the talent on both brands is much better then him! Well Goldberg wins and Rock goes to make more movies...Welcome to the WWE Goldberg...1 year later...see ya Goldberg! 7/10
There are tons of Bonus features on here including a bonus match from heat featuring Scott Steiner vs. Rico...if you really plan on watching this match, then watch it for the comedy of Rico and not for Steiner...Overall decent PPV!!!

Summary: People Need To Learn
Review: I think these people need to learn about the wrestling aspect of the business. People that are rating these DVDs really have no clue what they are talking about with rating them. So to the all the buyers out there I would say that it is all up to you and don't listen to these people tell you about the DVD. Most of the people that rate these DVDs probably just watch wrestling for the entertainment and not the wrestling. So everyone make your own decision on these and don't listen to these people that have no clue what they are talking about.

Summary: Aww... Too bad, it could have been good.
Review: I'm not going to be negative but it looked horrible on paper and pretty bad execution. Anyways here are the matches: Los Gurrerros vs. Team Angle - hmmm.. it was ok but kind of something you would see on TV. **1/2 Rikishi vs. Sean O'haire - OMG! this match could have been phenomenal entertainment wise anyways DUD RVD and Kane vs. The Dudley's - good match, in my opinion one of the best on the card. ***1/2 Trish Stratus vs. Jazz - could have been better, something you would see on RAW ** Big Show vs. Rey Mysterio - i enjoyed this match even though it was basically a squash. the post match beating is just brutal but everyone has already saw it for free on tv. *** Brock Lesnar vs. Jon Cena - I don't know why but I just dislike Cena's style as a wrestler, I think hes a great entertainer but this match could have gone further. **1/2 Booker T, HBK, Kevin Nash vs. HHH, Ric Flair and Chris Jericho -
Amazing talent in the Ring but the match just was not that great. **1/2 Goldberg vs. The Rock - I read one of the reviews saying that is was the Best Match ever? uh ok anyways pretty dull but it was neat to see these two go at it but their styles did not mix properly and made it look sloppy. **1/2

Summary: Cena should have won.
Review: John Cena is truely an asset to Smack Down. I hoped that Cena would win but I gotta hand it to Brock, he is as tough as they come. Big Slow beats Rey Mysterio(big deal). After the match, the 7ft Retard, who can bearly speak, damn near cripples Rey-Rey. Sean O'Hare pinned Rikishi.(what a boring match)
Rob Van Dam and Kane beat the Dudley Boyz(one of the nicer matches on the card). Goldberg defeats the Rock(not great but it lives up to the hype). Triple-H, Ric"Whooooo"Flair and Chris Jericho defeated Booker T.,HBK Shawn Michaels and Kevin Nash.[Triple-H Pins Nash after hitting him with the (what do you think he used?)]. Good match but bad ending. Of course you know the ending will suck if Triple-H wins.How he got the number2 slot in the 2003 PWI Top 500 and topped guys like Kurt Angle,Keiji Mutoh,Chris Benoit and John Cena is beyond me. They are more talented and they know when to step away from the spotlight(and I thought Hogan used to be a glory hound)
A mediocre ppv with a few weak matches and endings but the WWE Title match, the World Tag team title

Summary: More like ....lash to me
Review: Saw this ppv and let me just say, Vinnie Mac needs some help...BADLY. This cannot be what he needs to help WWE get back on its feet. Here's the card to prove that: WWE Tag Team Championship
Los Guerreros vs. Team Angle(c) ***1/2-This actually was my favorite match on the card. Not saying much as you'll see later, but it at least started off good. Great chemistry and many false finishes as should be expected when you wrestle Eddie and Chavo. Team Angle looks like they're gonna be great for a while if they keep this up. Can't wait for the ladder match at Judgement Day! Rikishi vs. Sean O'Haire(w/Roddy Piper) **-They tried, but nobody cared at all for this. How can you when they're fighting over coconout bashing? Too slow for my taste. WWE World Tag Team Championship
Kane/RVD vs. Dudleys ***-Nice chemistry mixing all their trademark moves together, but I'm just not into Kane/RVD being paired up. So much talent between them and WWE still doesn't know what to do with them. Adding Morley as ref was a nice touch though, providing the distractions for champs and ticking off the crowd. Big Show vs. Rey Mysterio *1/2-Please erase this from the DVD. Waste of time and just further proves how Big Slow can't move or breathe if matches go past 5 minutes. Show wins with chokeslam, comes back to take Rey, while he is on stretcher, and whack him on ringpost and dropping him on his head. Nice job protecting your opponent there, Big Slow. WWE Women's Title
Jazz vs. Trish Stratus(c) **-I enjoy them as wrestlers and the match was OK, but this feud's been done to death. Not really their faults, but that will change when Lita comes back. WWE World Championship
Brock Lesnar(c) vs. John Cena ***-The third and final favorite of mine of the night. A little slow pacing, but it was good storytelling. I actually thought Cena would win, but obviously they need it on Brock what with Angle and Edge out for a bit. Wins it with F-5, hope they do a rematch soon. HHH/Flair/Jericho vs. Booker T/HBK/Nash *- The previous match was my final favorite and I say that because the quality dropped immensely from here. What are they thinking doing feuds with the Kliq again? HHH has slowed down considerably in this "post-quad" era, as I like to call it, not to mention he rambles too much now. Nash is old and waiting for another leg injury and people just can't get into him anymore. I like HBK but he's not main event caliber anymore, have him build people up like he did Jericho at WMXIX. This match was a waste of time and talent for the likes of Booker T and Jericho. Booker T should be champ and feuding with Y2J, how's that sound? Anyway, ended with HHH using sledgehammer on Nash to win. Gee, I've never seen that happened before. Rock vs. Goldberg
**-If this was Vince's money match, then the people who put money on this ppv just to see this are gonna regret giving that money away. Too many things wrong. They changed Goldberg's music. Rock was more the face here than Goldberg. Goldberg was working too slow for me and seemed to want to just get the majority of the script done so he can spear and jackhammer Rock, which is basically all he can do. He did do that and won and the fans booed him for it. Yikes, not looking good. OVERALL:As I said, not looking good for 2003. I'll give them credit, they were trying new things. Cena looked good in his first title match. O'Haire looks promising, just not feuding with Rikishi. And the tag title matches were great. But I just didn't feel it here like I did the first three ppvs for this year. Hope Judgement Day can be better.

Summary: Goldberg is back!
Review: Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas v. Los Guerreros WWE Tag Titles
This was a very good match and the World's Greatest Tag Team takes something out of the Guerreros playbook.......cheating to win.***
Rikishi v. Sean O'Haire
This match was pretty interesting considering Sean O'Haire was in it. O'Haire wins.**
Kane & Rob Van Dam v. Dudley Boyz World Tag Titles
The ending to this match was awesome. The SD!Tag Titles were slightly better. RVD & Kane win.**3/4
Trish v. Jazz Women's Title
Trish won the Women's Title at Wrestlemania then loses it to Jazz next month how interesting.**
Rey Mysterio v. Big Show
Show wins in a very commanding match. Most of the action happens after the match when Big Show slams Mysterio while he is in the strechter to the steel pole outside the ring.****1/4
Brock Lesnar v. John Cena WWE Title
I don't think Cena was quite ready for Lesnar or the WWE Title. He gets beat pretty bad. Brock wins with a F-5.***1/4
Triple H,Ric Flair & Chris Jericho v. Shawn Michaels,Booker T & Kevin Nash 6-Man Tag
WOW! What an incredible match. This is a match of the year canidate. Nash came back as strong as ever. Even though Triple H hits him with the sledgehammer and wins???? I know something nobody knows when Backlash went of the air Nash powerbombed HHH through Bischoff Desk.*****
The Rock v. Goldberg
One of the worst and most dominate main events ever. With Goldberg winning with a Jackhammer slam.*1/2
Backlash was not worth $35. It was worth $20. The main event stunk. Overall *** for the 6-Man Tag and Rey v. Show.
