Backlash Thoughts

Whether you watched it on PPV or read about it on the net, post your thoughts and comments on Backlash here.

I'll do mine once the show is over.

Funny how JBL is the U.S. Champion and going after the Heavyweight Championship and RVD is now Intercontinental Champion and will be going after the WWE Championship. I'm guessing this could all factor out on the draft and One Night Stand 2

Mr. Kennedy

Right now the word is that there are no plans for a draft this year, but Vince could always change his mind.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why have Joey Styles do play by play for Heat if they were just going to replace him with JR for the PPV?

Carlito cheating to beat Masters. Good to see that they won't make him change his ways just because he's a face now.

I know Umaga is supposed to be this monster and I do think he should have won, but it sounded like he basically squashed Flair which I don't like.

Have they said why Coach isn't out there?

It's too bad about Trish getting injured, at least it explains the DQ finish though.

I'm a little surprised they had RVD win the IC Title rather than coming up with a way for both men to hold onto their prizes. Sounded like a great match though.

Big Show-Kane sounded like a horrible match, and non-finishes like that are always bad on a PPV.

Vince groping Candice, Linda is very forgiving for letting him have his way with nearly every diva in WWE.

God losing his debut PPV match, time for jobber status haha.

Eugene putting his booger in Matt Striker's mouth, eww.

Mr. Kennedy

As expected Cena won the triple threat match. It sounded like a good match though and Triple H played the face role pretty well. I guess this means he won't come out and whine tomorrow on Raw like the heel Triple H would.

Guys, I rated this show poor to average which will probably shock you because I am often optimistic.

Masters messed up big time it seemed, he was suppose to kick out at a spot and the referee was coming down for the 3 count and he stopped near the end and then Masters kicked out.

Umaga and Flair was basically a squash.

You knew Trish was hurt because after she hurt her shoulder, Mickie didn't do any moves except for choke holds and then the finish which she did well on the fly.

RVD and Shelton was a decent match.

Big Show and Kane was just awful.

The Matt Striker segment just seemed like filler as the Trish-Mickie match was suppose to go longer.

The Main Event made this show for me. It was better then the Wrestlemania match, IMO. John Cena had Triple H up for the FU while Edge was on top of Triple H so both men were up for the FU and Edge fell off of it and while H was still on Cena's shoulders, Edge speared him in a great move. Cena used the STFU a lot and a few times I thought the match was over but it wasn't. I was happy it didn't end with the STFU. Triple H did a lot of Crotch shots in this match.

I thought they would have a lightning bolt coming down from God or HBK would have God's will fighting inside of him but that didn't happen and it seems this feud will continue on. An interesting note was that HBK told Vince and Shane in an interview that he has two words for him and the crowd chanted "Suck It"

I guess it was an average pay per view.

No one has put over Carlito vs Masters. I thought that match was excellent! Easily the 2nd best match on the card, after a great main event.

Masters messed up that spot perhaps, but to be honest, other than that, it was a top drawer match. Considering how much these 2 guys get bagged on for their in-ring ability, they put on a great, great contest.

The main event was excellent. I hated the ending (Cena pinning HHH with a sunset flip) but other than that it was great. Triple H getting all pissed off and smashing Edge, Cena and the ref with the hammer was great. Man did he bleed! I (as well as the crowd) ate up HHH's DX crotch chop as he stood over Cena.. two DX references in one pay-per-view - anyone see Haitch siding with HBK to create a new DX, to fight against Mcmahon? Even a Cena heel turn to join McMahon and FINALLY turn Cena heel.. ?

There is way too much DX chopping going on for it not to mean something!!

I hope they do pull the trigger and reform DX, HHH and HBK are awesome together in that role.

Blitzkrieg

the only problem I have with a new D-X is that they would need a damn god reason to get back together. It was just a few weeks ago that they were fighting and lets not forget how they had a huge rivalry where they tried to kill eachother for a year..

I've said it before.. Just don't call it D-X.. I'd be all for a new stable with the two and possibly MNM and Melina thrown into the mix..

Then McMahonism stable to fight them.. but I'm not sure if I'd want Cena as the leader or not.. maybe.. or Shelton.

Lynch

Ya, I'm assuming its gonna be a stable vs stable thing, but it will be DX. HHH and HBK and some young guys vs vince and the spirit squad and whoever.

I did crack up when King said, Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit Squad.
