Rating: Summary: Backlash 2002 very=ok good ppv.1/ Review: I was in attendance at this show and I couldn't believe I spent my money on this! Three good matches do not make a good PPV.
1. Tajiri def. Billy Kidman 4.5/5
Excellent opener that really had the crowd warmed up. Another example of how good cruiserweights can be.
2. Scott Hall def. Bradshaw 0.5/5
Any momentum the show had from the opener was lost with this snoozer. Should have been an early sign to McMahon that NOBODY cares about Bradshaw.
3. Jazz def. Trish Stratus 2.5/5
Decent women's match with Trish selling a pre-match back injury at the hands of Molly Holly.
4. Brock Lesnar def. Jeff Hardy 2.5/5
The Next Big Thing's PPV debut did what it set out to accomplish, make Lesnar look dominating. Some guy sitting behind me actually thought Hardy had a chance of winning. WOW!
5. Kurt Angle def. Edge 5/5
This was easily the best match of the night and ended up as one of the best of 2002. The back and forth action, false finishes, and hot crowd made this a forgotten classic.
6. Eddie Guerrero def. Rob Van Dam 4/5
Another great match. These two men are true in ring artists, but I feel they could have done more.
7. Undertaker def. Stone Cold Steve Austin Ref. Ric Flair 0/5
This was the worst match I had ever seen in person in my life! Slow pace, dead crowd and a predictable finish. This match isn't worth wasting your time to watch.
8. Billy & Chuck def. Al Snow & Maven 1.5/5
This match had no purpose on PPV to begin with. Match did not deliver anything.
9. Hollywood Hulk Hogan def. Triple H 1.5/5
For a PPV main event this was a dud. Hogan gets yet another run with the belt while more deserving performers get pushed aside.
Buy this DVD for Tajiri/Kidman, Guerrero/RVD, and the classic Angle/Edge match. The rest of this show deserves to be forgotten.
Rating: Summary: KANSAS CITY's WWF BACKLASH 2002 Review: i was there very close to ringside i even got on camera with my sign in the main event saying "battle of the biceps" and thank you jerry lawler for pointing out my sign in the commentaty the dvd i feel does not deserve 5 stars because they censored what really hapened there and should have showed it the way it really happened , musics were altered for the dvd like undertakers Edge 's ric flairs , and the NWO's. i can only ask why why sell out to censorship show stuff how it really happened

Rating: Summary: Hulkamania runs wild! Review: Match #1: Billy Kidman vs. Tajiri (Cruiserweight Title Match) This was a very good cruiserweight match with lots of good moves performed by both men. Tajiri won the match after he sprayed his opponent in the eyes with red mist, allowing him to get the 1-2-3. **** Great opener. Match #2: Bradshaw vs. Scott Hall X-Pac interfered, causing Faarooq to chase after him. Hall then took advantage of the distraction and rolled up Bradshaw for the win. * Poor match. Match #3: Jazz vs. Trish (Women's Championship Match) Molly Holly attacked Trish before the match, which gave Jazz an advantage. Jazz retained her title in the end, following the STF submission move. **1/2 Match #4: Jeff Hardy vs. Brock Lesnar The closing moments of the match were when Lesnar hit the F-5 on Jeff, plus three power-bombs. Brock did not pin his opponent, but he destroyed Jeff enough to make the referee call for the bell and stop the match. Brock Lesnar was successful in his WWE in-ring debut. **1/4 Match #5: Kurt Angle vs. Edge This was probably the best match on the card. Angle was able to score with the Angle Slam and the Ankle Lock, but Edge survived the moves. A frustrated Kurt Angle went outside and grabbed a steel chair. He aimed to hit his opponent in the face with it, but accidently hit himself instead! Edge took advantage of it and went for his Spear. Angle countered the move and hit another Angle Slam for the 1-2-3! This match was considered as one of my favourite matches of all-time. ****3/4 Match #6: Rob Van Dam vs. Eddie Guerrero (Intercontinental Title Match) Latino Heat had returned a few weeks before the PPV and he seemed to have a problem with RVD. There were lots of high-flying moves performed by the two men in the bout and in the end it was Guerrero who hit his version of the Frog Splash on his opponent for the 3-count. ***3/4 Match #7: The Undertaker vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin This match was for the No. 1 Contender slot, with Ric Flair as the Special Referee. It went back and forth many times and Ric Flair called it right down the middle. Austin picked up a steel chair to use on the Undertaker, but the American Badass saw it coming and kicked the chair right back into the face of his opponent. Undertaker got the cover on Stone Cold who then had his foot on the bottom rope. Ric Flair apparently did not see Austin's foot on the rope so he counted the 1-2-3 normally. The Undertaker was the winner of the match, although he should not have been. * Slow, boring and dissapointing match. Match #8: Billy & Chuck vs. Al Snow & Maven (Tag Team Title Match) Rico interfered, causing Al Snow to run after him. The illegal man Chuck ran in from out of nowhere and super-kicked Maven in the face, allowing Billy to cover the rookie for the win. **3/4 Average match. Match #9: Triple H vs. Hulk Hogan (Undisputed Championship Match) The Hulkster hit the Leg Drop, but Chris Jericho broke up the referee's count and punched him out. Then he hit Hogan in the face with a steel chair and got the referee back in the ring, but HHH did not want any help and he knocked Jericho over the top rope. The Game soon scored with the Pedigree on his opponent, but then the Undertaker ran down to break up the count! The DeadMan knocked down Triple H with the steel chair and put Hogan on top of teh Game! Hogan did not want any help either, so he knocked the Undertaker over the top rope, scored with another Leg Drop on Triple H and got the 1-2-3! The Hulkster had won the WWF Championship! After the match Hogan and Triple H shook hands and a show of respect. The show ended with Hollywood Hulk Hogan celebrating with his newly-won WWF Championship! *3/4 Another match which was dissapointing and slow. SPECIAL FEATURES: > Five exclusive interviews > Big Show v Justin Credible & Steven Richards > The Dudley Boyz reunion > Brock Lesnar's impact Overall, an average PPV with a couple of good matches and plenty of DVD Extras. Not a must-have, but if you have a spare twenty dollars and you don't expect much, then, by all means, buy it. Final Score: (/10) 5.5
Rating: Summary: horrible! Review: stupid and slow matches. with dumb endings. one of the worst of 2002
Rating: Summary: If your a Fan!!!! Review: The reason I bought this DVD is because Hogan Squares off against my favorite wrestler of all times Triple H!!!
And I wasn't wrong!!
The only good match is the main event, with lots of action, interfearences from the Undertaker and Jerico, and Hogan becoming the WWE Champion, which makes it a classic!!
If you are a Hulkamaniac, this DVD is good!!
Rating: Summary: one of the great ppv's of 2002 Review: this is a great video. the wwf has so much talent and they can do exciting matches like undertaker vs. stone cold with ric flair the special referre. Also hhh vs hulk hogan for the undesputed championchip
Rating: Summary: WWF Backlash 2002 Review: This is the best Backlash so far from the WWF, now the WWE... will it be the WWDOFF next? what's up with that?! The cruiserweight title match with Kidman and Tajiri was excellent, better than the Greg Serb/Klo Cruiserweight from the old WCW days. Hooray for Brock Lesnar... they give him an opponent that he can easily beat on... Hardy. They must feed Lesnar kibbles n' bits. Can't wait for Lesnar to lock up with the likes of Hoss Pete. Kurt Angle/Edge match was great, especially with Angle nailing himself with the chair off the ropes. The Undertaker/Austin encounter gets old, even with Flair in there because he makes no difference except for the ending of the match. The championship match was a good one, Jericho was expected to interfere of course, but not the Undertaker. It's too bad they fired Scott Hall recently. Hogan and HHH was an old-style type fight. Hogan defeating HHH at this stage of his career really proves that no one is still better and that he always will be the man now. Hogan will end up as the last WWF champion since it's recently turned to WWE. How fitting. The WWF had a great pay-per-view even w/o The Rock. WWF has done this before when they lost The Rock to Scorpion King filming and Fandrei to Dazed and Confused In Indianapolis. Wonder if they will include any special features, usually they don't unless it's a Rumble, Mania, Summerslam, or WrestleMania... but there have been some. But overall, it was a great PPV and should be bought! Buy this before Cieslak does!
Rating: Summary: Hogan [stinks] Review: This p.p.v was terrible. THe main event was terrible. I hate seein the wwe making hHh job to the likes of an over the hill hogan. The card on a whole wasnt terrible but the main event was such a dissapointment it makes the whole p.p.v just [smell]. There were a couple of good matches such as kidman vs. tajiri,edge vs. angle and rvd vs. guerreo. I wuld recomend buying though b/c of those 3 matches.If you want a great all around card go to shopzone and buy judgment day 2002. This was awesome especially the hell in a cell between y2j and hHh.
