 What's good Josh? What else back again with another video? So we're gonna check out 10 best WWE Backlash matches of all time WWE WrestleMania Backlash, which I still don't think they have to do the whole WrestleMania backlash. I think it's just be backlash and call it what it is But that's happening this Sunday. Best believe, you know, we will be live streaming it on the inter crush page So stay tuned to that And it should be a good time Hopefully it is and I know a lot of people consider backlash as a beat here of pay-per-view and understandably so But I will say there have been some pretty good like backlash Pay-per-views man, I think with WWE for whatever reason it's like the B level pay-per-views or the pay-per-views We don't expect to be that good or that entertaining Usually end up Exceeding a lot of our expectations sometimes or most of the time, you know, they just exceed our expectations I guess we're not expecting it to be anything And then it ends up being more entertaining and then the big ones that we expect like summer slam survivor series You know the the big the royal rumble those pay-per-views We expect those to be top-notch in some of the best matches ever and it may be one or two things That are good on the entire show. So we're gonna check out some of the best matches of all time Appreciate all the love and support road to, you know the CWE trademark WrestleMania trademark backlash trademark colon WWE WrestleMania backlash Trademark WWE having a perfectly normal branding one as they always do yes, Vince You do improve the SEO of all your shows by throwing the word WrestleMania in there Stupendous who cares it makes all your content look like it was designed by the tiny robot who lives inside the WWE Network anyway my gripes about how WWE isn't a product designed by people for people back Clash is a real Marmite show one that tends to either fix the problems of that year's WrestleMania or double down on them It's also one the longest-running be pay-per-view format in company history There's a lot of very good and very bad to pick from with this year's show just around the corner Let's have a look at the good ones treat ourselves quick point of order the greatest wrestling match ever is not on this list Cannot be doing with the piped in crowd noise pandemic matches. No thanks. I'm Adam Even though that match was entertaining it was crazy how they were taking other people's finishes and using it I think what they did they hyped it up too much even though that was a good match very good match I think they they overhyped it is the greatest wrestling match ever. I think that's too much Just let the let the fans decide that get like when you do that You you're expected to put on something great and it was it was even though they were using everybody's finishes It still was still was hella good though from parts of unknown and here are ten best WWE back-clash matches of all time And if you don't want to receive a backlash from us you better subscribe Because if you don't Ollie will know and it will make him sad honorable mentions Scotty-Too-Harty versus Dean Milenko 2000 hot take this match is a little overhyped. Yes. Yes I'll be sure to read your imminent comment and log it with the rest of my failings Don't get me wrong this match is a lovely surprise a 15 minute technically sound cruiserweight match on pay-per-view Which is bonkers for the WWE especially in the attitude era and a Dean Milenko match at that a man thoroughly wasted by the Fed But it's mostly subdued until the admittedly very wonderful closing sequence top rope DDT goodness me Wanted to mention it to try and stem the internet hate, but it doesn't quite crack the top 10 Yeah, bloody hipsters number 10 edge versus John Cena 2009 WWE would very much like you to think that John Cena's greatest rival is Randy Orton I think they're destined to do this forever says WWE nudging you in the ribs. Do you get the reference? They'll say it's from that movie face-off, but seeing his actual best rival is edge the two Mm-hmm. I can I can somewhat agree with someone saying that edge gave him he was one of his best rivals Definitely edges up there for sure. He he was he was a menace to John really brought out the best in each other Bit there's SummerSlam match their amazing TLC match unforgiven or this a last-man standing match featuring John Cena where checks notes He actually losing loses. How do you do? Honestly, it's a modern era last man standing match Which means the match stops every few minutes for some tedious referee dinner theater But the spots in between are joyous Cena Yeating the steel steps that edge edge getting a aid into the crowd and a closing spot of Cena getting Yeeted into a spot like he was a bunch of steel steps last man standing matches as we'll soon see live And die on their spots and this one had some good ins number nine Shane McMahon versus the big show 2001 Shane Big show. Oh my god, bro. They Spot central but hella enjoy me a last man standing match between pre constantly crying big show and pre thumb Shane McMahon was better than Cena and Edge and I don't want to hear any of your nonsense Yeah, it's the kind of pure story plunder heavy match that was Shane speciality in the 2000 But the crowd are apeshit for the whole thing even Vince is angry little run into Felder giant Shane pulls a bunch of magic tricks That was us including a really funny chloroform bit an all-time great big boot from test bang and closing with one of the All-time great crazy Crazy in wrestling Sensational dive for a man who majored in sensational dives from a dive University is a good technical match. No, is it highly sports entertaining? Yes Angle versus Chris Benoit 2001 from the same card. Is it highly sports entertaining? Not as much. Is it a good technical match? Oh, you betcha you really don't hear this match get talked up enough although to be honest It's a probably very good reason for that But it's one of the better Iron Man matches in WWE history a match format that the big dub usually excels at as well So that's high praise off the back of their hastily thrown together match in main year X7 backlash So Angle and Benoit continue their stellar rivalry with yet another contest this time to find out who can make their opponent tap the most in 30 minutes honestly these guys had something like half a dozen pay-few singles matches altogether and there's not a dud between them This is a more methodically paced affair, but it builds and builds Despite what Chris Benoit went through During his final moments, you know his final days We can all agree despite his heinous actions that he he he did He still was one of the best technical wrestlers of that time period He was and I'm not praising what he did I will never praise what he did because you know people died, you know, and it sucks You know what he was going through mentally It's it's that whole situation is so tragic But there's one thing I can say that in the ring just in the square circle He was one of the best to ever do it. That's one thing. I will say about that I'm gonna leave it at that I can respect what he did it in the ring craft-wise, but I definitely Cannot uh, I can't I can't rock with what happened outside the ring It that was just that whole situation very very awful Really satisfyingly to a thunderous crescendo as Benoit comes from 3-1 down to win in overtime smart brutal and a technically amazing Achievement this is a shining example of why WWE had the best mid card around in the early 2000s Number seven John Cena versus Edge versus Triple H 2006 a weird match main eventing a weird show in WWE's weirdest year case in point This is the show where Vincent Shane fight Shawn Michaels in God God who came down to the ring to the Funkasaurus theme to never Can in which case change John Cena and Triple H where the Chicago crowd booed Cena and cheered trips I know said WWE will put even more dastardly heel edge into the mix then people will cheer Cena Element narrator they did not however the match is also really bloody good with Triple H Putting the emphasis on bloody Jesus big loud the crowd reaction dynamics are all over the shop But that actually makes for a really fun and rowdy watch and it's always impressive with big match John Picks up two boys a blockbuster main event to a very strange show. Now. This is why I say man Backlash it is considered a B tier pay-per-view But it is quite it can be good. This is why when people were saying all they I'm glad that they canceled the unification match because it's a B tier pay-per-view you can still put on something very great and on any pay-per-view and Make it that you can make that pay-per-view one of the best ones of the year You don't have to relegate yourself to over just gonna put on BS on this pay-per-view because everyone considers it a Low-tea pay-per-view. No, you want to make sure each and every pay-per-view has something That means like a match or a feud or a series of matches that make it seem important It doesn't always have to be summer slams of five series Rumble WrestleMania the Saudi shows. No, make sure your other pay-per-views seem important That's how you make people overall want to stay around for the product Oh, I can't wait to see their next pay-per-view if they did this on Backlash I can't wait to see what they do next. That's just my opinion number six Seth Rollins versus the Miz 2018 2018 was the year of Seth Rollins from that crazy gauntlet match performance early in the year to stealing the show at Mania 34 to one the best intercontinental title runs in recent memory for most of the year Seth was all banger all the time. Yeah, he was no exception He was a roll essential example of what pay-per-view openers and mid-card title matches should be something with a well-told Sensical story that slowly heats up the crowd to a fever pitch. This has all of that in spades It starts off slow Bilson trademark Seth Rollins showpiece offense plenty of good dastardly twattery from Miz before the match throws in a Joyful little twist Ron's injures his knee and Seth sells it beautifully with a knee buckling during multiple moves leading to heart-stopping False finishes the kind of icy matches that we don't see enough of right now number five Chris Benoit versus triple eight versus Sean Michael That was a good one. I was a good sequel that people don't talk enough about and that probably has something to do with the reason Why people talk about the ultimate submission match quite as much a rematch of the amazing main event triple threat from Mania 20 Benoit trips Michael's to wasn't quite as good as the original But it's still fast aces and Boyd immensely by the fact that oh boy do Montreal still hate Sean Michael seven years after the screw drop And they still haven't forgiven him gives a match a different energy to Mania Especially with Canadian Benoit tapping HPK's ass out with the sharpshooter of all things bit slower The crowd are a little less keyed up at the garden the entertaining HPK hate to one side But it's still a trio of very accomplished wrestlers doing had a fantastic Number four seen a lot of Zorton versus edge versus Shawn Michaels 2007 and underrated underrepresented format you we don't see enough fatal four-way main events Maybe it's because WWE was one-off pay-per-view fatal four-way was a load of old Jessup What wasn't however was the main event of backlash oh seven a frankly ludicrous chef boy Rd Match featuring seen at HPK and rated RKO the action is non-stop the crowd loved every moment and his dueling storylines Running through it rated RKO reunite with the crowd wondering when the inevitable heel got a heel betrayal will come And it's also the cap and the jaw-dropping seen a Michaels trilogy of matches It's also got one of the best closing sequences in fatal four-way history with counter after counter and finishing move after bro People like to some people would try to paint the Even though this is a little bit after the Russel's aggression era. This is more the PG side of things I think they went PG like 2007 they were still Putting on some good off they were putting on some good matches No, a lot of fans had kind of turned away because of the John Cena effect But there was some good feuds and good matches around the 2006 to like maybe 2008 error in WWE there was some solid Solid solid good matches good entertaining segments good storylines Take me back to those days. I'll take that. I ain't a lot to finish me In a spot where everyone's down the pimples a lucky accident a bunch of moves in a can but all of the moves are fun number three the rock versus Steve Austin 99 welcome to the first part of that this is the match they should have had at WrestleMania trilogy that happens more often than you Think it doesn't say that the match between rock and Austin at mania 15 is bad It's just heck a bland compared to this one all in all considering the boiler room brawl between mankind a big show almost made This list backlash 99 was a better show than mania 15 not a hard job Mania 15 was wank with a capital wank the main event of the show was a no holds barred rematch between Austin and the rock And it was a lot of fun featuring a super hot start courtesy of Austin off the back of one of the silliest wrestling bills Seriously had fake funerals being crashed by Wrestling and an all-time great stone-cold stunner to the rock while he's holding the camera Mania match hot damn Austin Rock had some chemistry number two Randy Orton versus cactus Jack 2004 welcome to part two of the this is the mass they should have had at WrestleMania Yeah, like Empire this one gets a little dark fully and Orton had a blood feud going into WrestleMania 20 Foley had had his legend killed by being kicked down some stairs in fact He had his hardcore legend stages kicked straight out of his head leaving raw and cowardly shame Then he came back at the rumble with a mission of trying to prove to himself That he was the same hardcore legend but then turns out the rock was free So instead of doing a hardcore match of mania that got shunted to backlash so the rock and sock connection could ride once again And lose any who this hardcore match is the dog's tit Oh another stellar example of Mick Foley forging new legends for up-and-coming talent in fire and bro This match alone was just so oh My god, this was this was so fucking lit, bro And it made Randy Orton even more of a star because he could go He was willing to take his body that not many people were and this made a lot of people respect Randy Orton as the next future of the business because he was willing to go through all types of pain To show he can hang man, and that that was awesome, but this this whole match just cringe inducing Awesomeness, oh my why are the spots escalate to a frankly horrendous degree including one of the Some taxpots of all time this year amount that stick in the lad an annoying moment halfway through where Bishop interrupts the match To tell off Mick Foley we're trying to light a baseball baton fire, but otherwise this is hardcore heaven Yeah, number one triple H versus the rock 2000 and of course part three of the this is a match They should have had at WrestleMania trilogy an absolute shenanigan that they ran the McMahon in every corner four way instead of rock versus triple H Hey ho what you gonna do not exactly complaining cuz hell this is the epitome of everything I love about wrestling clear comic book style story. Look all the stooges in their matching shirts maximum hubris Maximum reveal maximum payoff the man Helms the regime stacked the deck against the rock Oh, Austin won't show up to be in the rocks corner very stupid very wonderful double rock bottom through a table Then Austin does show up and to one of the loudest most Clean's house rock wins the title hell even Linda gets a huge pop by pushing over stuff just constant Ways of good feeling and catharsis after a very shitty WrestleMania it's a match that I've gone back and rewatched so many times just for this one moment when the glass shatters because this moment is Oh my god why I like wrestling. I also like wrestling when Shane jumps off really high things I'm Adam and thank you for enjoying my oh when that glass broke It's just I get goosebumps. Just thinking about it. Just people losing their shit. Oh, man Hey Backlashes actually had some good moments good matches, man And I do think that this year's backlash I'm hoping will be a a nice little follow-up to WrestleMania I still stand by this should have been the focus really should have been on the unification of the tag team division Not sure if they're gonna do it at a later date We will see but I am interested to see how things pan out this year And our backlash so comment down below. Let me know. What was your favorite backlash? Pay-per-view like what year was your favorite backlash pay-per-view? Let me know down below, but I appreciate our love and support Row two 80k.
