Far too many of the usual assholes cheering the heels, especially the queer bald couple in the front row left and the afro crazy hair spic front row right (how do these BOISTEROUS ASSHOLES always get front row tickets?). Too many twenty-something assholes cheering Orton and the asswipes who sang the "goodbye" chant when HHH was knocked out. The bald queer in the grey t-shirt was jeering Steamboat when he got his round of applause. Shit crowd.
Like the way you have the old them of Orton in the back ground. I did not see the ppv,but from the vids i have seen already.sounds like the ppv was good,even some gave it an...8.0,wich could be overatted btw,good video.
Really? That kind of thing is bound to start happening with all the BOISTEROUS ASSHOLES who insist on showing off by cheering the heels and trying to rile everybody up.
I don't want to see fights in the crowd at wrestling shows but I would laugh if one of those "look at me I cheer the heels" types got smacked.
ok if they're cheering a heel like jack swagger or santino marella or other people who have little or no talent, but if they're cheering a heel like edge who has a lot of talent but isnt allowed to use it that is fine in my book
plus i was cheering edge over cena
but the fight was a little stupid for reasons I agree with you on
Its Deff a new era of Wwe idk what u c all it. There is no question, WWEs brands are no longer the same and it will give wrestling fans a new passion for the wrestling world. Me personlay wwe has been more exciting more fun more entertaing than it has been in a long long time i like how they went with randy and legacy kinda like hhh n evolution but obviosly randy is better ah
good ppv happy chri won disapp in kh san no kiss but lol @ jr shocked ort won, & edge agree match of the night sick f u in fanz & great sick ending matt jeff was ok lame end ppv 7 shocked cm lost like bakro music rko.... ort winin didnt have big feel 2 it
I thought that your ratings were accurate and unbiased to the big heels.
Edge and Cena easily had the best match on the card. They have very good ring chemistry.
Next was the opener. Great choice and both men delivered hopefully the first of many PPV matches.
Everything else falls into place as you put it. I knew going into the PPV that the WWE title match would not be good and it wasn't. A 6 man tag match for the title where Orton could be champ by not doing anything is a dumb stipulation.
I agree, twinzeroes. I don't know why people were saying it was 3 stars of even close. It was nothing more than just a regular 6-man tag that we could've seen on RAW. The ending to the match would've got some "awe" if the ring bell hasn't been rung prematurely. It ruined the ending even more, b/c we knew that Orton was going to win.
Now I don't know who he is gonna face now. The only choice now is Batista. If HBK comes back, then him. That's it. RAW lacks top people.
LOL it was funny when steamboat forgot how to do the figure four and this Santino thing is dragging on and making him totally unfunny now and I didn't even realise the bell rang in the WWE title I loved the Edge christian backstage segment and the last man standing match was great.
I agree plenty of what you had to say.. I believe this was the best PPV of the year, thus far.. Sure, bash it.. I don't mind.. I was at WrestleMania and didn't think it was that great.. The experience was spectacular, but the wrestling aspect was nothing special.. Call it biased, but the fact my three favorite WWE superstars won, that only made it better.. Lol.. But for Punk getting booed, keep in mind this was in Rhode Island. Rhode Island is basically Smarkville, USA. Why would they like Punk?
he was booed when he won the case in houston (i was there as well) and has been booed on a pretty regular basis...i think he just needs a new twist on his character and a heel change might just be the trick
I'm tired of people pushing for a CM Punk heel turn.. Sure, I love him heel, if you watch anything from him in indies, whether it be from Germany, England, FIP, IWA-MS, OVW.. Whatever, he's an absolutely amazing heel.. He's just a good character to have face, given this whole "PG" label, promoting the Straight Edge lifestyle would suit for face.. However, I think the main problem with his character is just his lack of personality.. Give him mic time first, if it doesn't work. THEN turn him heel.
Randy got revenge. With all of Orton's 3 title reigns, he lost all 3 of them to HHH. So this was Randy's revenge! Your living in the Age of Orton. Be happy.
I liked the PPV, and found the Santino segment funny. I expected way worse. Plus, lots of good surprises in this event.
Thanks for the review, even though I don't quite see things from your perspective, people like you who put in all this extra effort make it easier to keep up with results, and make wrestling so interesting by sharing your opinions. We all know it's not real, but its the passion the fans have for the product that make it a viable mainstream medium. So thanks for that
I donno how you could rate 6 man tag that low. Being there live it was a friggin awesome PPV and Mania def just seemed like a build up to this. Besides the glitz and glamour, this def seemed to be better than Mania. 6 Man Tag was DEF better than Orton/HHH, Edge vs Cena was def better than Triple Threat and Hardy vs Hardy was just as good, if not better than Mania and Steamboat vs Y2J was better than Y2J vs Legends.
True which is why I'll do 2 Cent on Live Events vid rather than a vid but this has been the case on more occasions than just this year where Mania seems to build up towards Backlash. I saw the match live and in person, the wrestling was def better for the two title matches at Backlash than at Mania. Hardy and Steamboat/Y2J match, I guess could go either way depends on what you prefer but no way was Triple Threat with Show or was HHH/Orton as good as tonights matches.
I gave it the same overall score Swagger/Christian was the second best match of the night really enjoyed that opener the Cena/Edge match was good-great but that thing with Big Show hurt it IMO it was on a verge of a ****1/4 then after that it dropped to a ***1/2 match other then those two matches this was just an average ppv from WWE.
TBH, I was this close to saying Backlash was horrible, but the last match SAVED it! So, during the night, it went from horrible to disappointing. The ECW title match was good, but I felt it was missing something. Jericho vs. Steamboat was too basic for a PPV, though I give respect to Steamboat for performing the way he did tonight for his age. The "I Quit" match dragged. Just when Matt getting tied up, Matt lost some credibility as a heel when he lost, but Jeff gained some in return.
The WWE Title match was a random tag match that is RAW quality-type and Cena/Edge was definitely SWEET! I missed CM Punk vs. Kane. I know I dragged on with this, but I think Backlash this year kind of went down the gutter.
I'm going to find a person why fucks with you and ask him not to respond to his haters (you) because apparently, it makes sense.

if one of your main events is extremely lackluster, that is going to effect the rating (as it effected many ppl's ratings when it came to mania 25)
only 3 matches were either 3 stars or over
out of curiosity, what would you have rated the ppv if you used my star ratings
