Summary: Awesome PPV
Comment: Awesome Backlash. Some great matches on the card.
1.Edge and Christian vs. DX(WWF Tag Team Championship)
This was an awesome way to kick off the pay-per-view. Fast paced action and the crowd was really into it. X-Pac had a really bad cut on his head from the ringbell shot.9 out of 10.
2.Dean Malenko vs. Scotty 2 Hotty(WWF Light Heavyweight Championship)
Very good matchup. Scotty put on a great performance along with Malenko(who is always good). Not as much high-flying action in this one, but it was made up for by the European Title match. Sick DDT off the top rope. The only problem was that the middle was a little boring. 9 out of 10.
3.Acolytes vs. Big Boss Man vs. Bull Buchanan
This match wasn't good at all. The only thing that is actually worth watching is the pretty cool scissors kick off the top rope.4 out of 10.
4.Crash vs. Hardcore Holly vs. Perry Saturn vs. Tazz vs. The Hardy Boyz(WWF Hardcore Championship)
This match had some crazy moves. The Hardyz really helped this match, because they brought their high-flying moves to the match. I loved the parts where they were all by the Backlash hooks. Good weapons use, especially with the ladders.9 out of 10.
5.Kurt Angle vs. The Big Show
Bad match, but it was pretty funny. Thats all I can say.5 out of 10.
6.T and A vs. The Dudley Boyz
May I start by saying, Trish was pretty damn hot! Even in the history.Phew!OK, I'm done. The match itself was actually pretty good. Bubba is a very lucky man.7 out of 10.
7.Eddie Guerrero(RIP) vs. Essa Rios(WWF European Championship)
Essa Rios was such an awesome wrestler. In this match, he displayed his awesome high-flying skills. Essa jumped over the turnbuckle and ring post and did a senton onto Eddie.9 out of 10.
8.Chris Jericho vs. Chris Benoit(WWF Intercontinental Championship)
First off, I have to say that Jericho saying Chris Benoit's name wrong was pretty funny.But the match was a classic. There weren't too many crazy moments, but these two guys just wrestled their hearts out.I really liked the steel steps spot. The DQ ending should have taken away from the match, but it really didn't for me. The reason why is because Benoit really hit his face on the belt and was really bleeding.10 out of 10.
9.Triple H vs. The Rock(WWF Championship)
Shane McMahon was the special ref and most of the other McMahons were at ringside cheering for Triple H.The match really picked up within the last 10 minutes, and that double Rock Bottom through the Announcer's Table was awesome. Stone Cold came back and cleaned house as well.9 out of 10.
I highly recommend this pay-per-view to any wrestling fan.

Summary: Awesome PPV!! P.s. Me Actually 15
Comment: 1. Edge and Christian vs X-Pac and Road Dogg Tag Team Championship.
This was a great choice for the opener, it had lots of non-stop action, with an exciting conclusion. E&C win via ringbell. Good match 10/10
2. Dean Malenko vs Scotty 2 Hotty Lightheavyweight Championship
This was a good match, with some good high spots. Only thing bringing the match rating down is a boring middle section. However the end part of the match was great, with a huge DDT from the top rope for the win. Dean wins, 8.5/10
3. Acolytes vs Big Boss Man & Bull Buchanan
This was a suprisingly good match, exceding all my expectations. On paper it didn't look good, but all four men put on a great show, with another awesome ending, top rope scissors kick. Bull&Bossman win,10/10.
4. Crash vs Hardcore Holly vs Hardy Boyz vs Perry Saturn vs Tazz - Hardcore Championship
AWESOME match with High spot after High spot. Match of the night. Swanton of ladder on crash, moves on chairs, weapons etc. Crash wins, 10/10.
5. Kurt Angle vs The Showster
This was more of a promo than a match, it's all about Big Show imitating Hogan. Only Highlights was Leg Drop and Chokeslam. 6/10.
6. T&A vs The Dudleys
This is my favourite tag match of the night. Lots of awesome power moves and double team moves. Also Trish gets powerbombed off top rope through table by Bubba Ray Dudley. T&A win, 10/10.
7. Essa Rios vs Eddie Guerrero - European Title
This was a great high-flying match, with lots of nice moves done by both men. Eddie wins, 10/10.
8. Chris Benoit vs Chris Jericho - IC Title
This was another classic match put on by these two wrestlers. Great wrestling, suplexes, power moves etc. However it ends in a DQ when Benoit Flying headbutts the title belt. Benoit retains, 10/10.
9. Triple H vs The Rock - WWF Championship
Shane McMahon as Special Ref
This was a good match, but it could have been a little better. However they do some good moves, plus The Rock Rock Bottoms HHH and Shane through announce table. Match itself is 9/10, but because of Stone Cold cleaning House with a chair it scores a 10/10.
Overall a great PPV!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Im not a kid....
Comment: This show is alright, but shows wwf lack of star power at the time. Besides Rock,HHH and Big Show, there really was no big star for wwf at the time. Though names like Angle, Benoit, Y2J and Eddie are on there, at the time they were nothing more then mid card acts. Knowing that wwf was in trouble for buyrates and ratings(especcially since wcw was having a rebirth), they announced Stone Cold would make an appearance. They never said he would fully be back, they just needed to promote him. It worked as the event was a huge success and blew wcw out of the water. The next pay per view event would feature legend HBK in a special referree role.
This show ok dont get me wrong, but with lack of attitude stars it can be hard to get into. Though matches like Eddie/Essa , Benoit/Y2J, Kurt Angle/Big Show and Rock/HHH, this event falls short of other events during htis "era".

Comment: 2000 Backlash
April 30, 2000
MCI Center
Washington D.C.
WWF Tag Team Championship:
Edge & Christian (Champion) V. Road Dogg & X-Pac
Good choice for the opener. It really got the crowd into it. Edge & Christian retain. ***1/2
WWF Light Heavyweight Championship:
Deam Malenko (Champion) V. Scotty 2 Hotty
This is Scotty's best singles match and probably best match ever. Great backand forth action with only a couple minutes of boring action. This is one of my favorite matches. Great, Great match with the IceMan Dean Malekno retaining. ***3/4 This was the best Lightheavyweight Championship match ever!
Big Bossman & Bull Buchanan V. The Acolytes
ok match. It's very weird watching matches with Bradshaw in then from around this time period. I think he has gotten better in the ring and character wise. However, he's not a main eventer. However, I did start to like him in his later months as WWE Champion even though some of the matches and endings to those matches weren't that good. Anyways...Big & Bull win. **3/4
WWF Hardcore Championship:
Crash Holly (Champion) V. Tazz V. Perry Saturn V. Hardcore Holly V. Matt Hardy V. Jeff Hardy
Great match. There were some great hits and misses in this match also alot of action. When the Hardyz get a ladder from under the ring, gets one of the biggest pops of the night! Weird. JR even mentions this. Crash retains the title after getting his ass kicked the whole match. ***3/4
Kurt Angle V. Big Show
The Hulkster returns to the WWF! Oh, Wait...It's not the Hulkster...It's the Showster! This match maybe not be the best match but it was pretty damn funny. Show sounds just like Hogan! It's great. Angle does get some good wrestling in but Show just destroys him and picks up the win. 3/4*
Dudley Boyz V. Tes & Albert
Oh baby...Trish...oh....umm...sorry. I got distracted there for a minutes. This match was good, but could have been....Trish...oh, sorry again. This match was good but could have been better. Test & Albert win. ***
WWF European Championship:
Eddie Guerrero (Champion) V. Essa Rios
Someone call Reagan Airport in Washington. Great high-flying match with some...well...great high-flying moves. Eddie retains. ****
WWF Intercontinental Championship:
Chris Benoit (Champion) V. Chris Jericho
Awesome wrestling. No, really, I didn't know that. I can watch these two wrestle all night. Cheap ending with Benoit winning by DQ after headbutting the Intercontinental Championship belt, however, still great wrestling. ****1/4
WWF Championship:
Triple H (Champion) V. The Rock
Great match. however, it seems too short for a WWF Championship Match and it was one sided with the Rock getting little offense in. (Yes, I know that is was suppose to look like it was one sided). Austin returns and costs Triple H the WWF Title! ****
Overall, a very, very good show. Great performances all around.
