Backlash 2002

The main Event was what I was looking to see.

I really wanted to watch HHH/HOGAN match with out interferrance.
Sadly it was from my favorite WWE star, the Undertaker.

Though the match was awesome it just didn't hold it up for me.
Austin/Taker match wasn't a big deal for me Because It was nothing important except that it's for the no1 contender for the wwe championship....
I give this 3 stars for the match and the
BIG SHOW/SHANE match which stole the show for me.

These two men flat out killed eachother.

This was better than there match at Judgmentday which was 2/3 years ago I think....

Over all don't buy this PPv....Borrow if from a friend or something....Or buy, It's up to you....I'm not forcing anyone not to watch it.

I thought this was an average/and yes awesome ppv to watch...

Billy Kidman vs. Tajiri
Typical match from these two, which is very good and exciting. Nothing new here,
Tajiri with his excelent technique and kicks and Billy Kidman an average high-flyer. The
WWE should be careful: while these matches would be considered excellent and ground-breaking
5 years ago, now they are what we come to expect from them. Again, in many people's minds
a definite 5 star, but there is nothing special enough here to even get a 4.
rating: 3 1/2

Scot Hall vs. Bradshaw
[Yawn]... oh, this was a MATCH? How?
Scot Hall is waaaaaaaaaaaay past his past-prime and Bradshaw never had his prime. Two dead
end gimmicks (NWO and APA) collide and stink up your DVD player.
rating: 1/2

Hulk Hogan vs. HHH
If you would have told me back in 2000 that I would be more entertained by watching a
Trish Stratus match than by watching most HHH matches in 2003, I'd probably have laughed at
you and punched you. HHH was in only 4 good/great matches in 2003: of course, Hogan vs.
Helmsley wasn't one of them. Talk about boring and over-long. I guess HHH was trying to
relive all those horrid (yes, horrid) Hulk Hogan matches from his youth. I have never seen
a Hogan singles match that didn't involve me getting up and fixing a glass of orange juice.
"How can it be that bad, Flawless?" How? Ok, want a run down of the match? Alright, here
goes nothing (literally). Lock up. stare. lock up. stare.lock up stare. punch. lock up. stare
and pose. laugh. screw up. lock up. stare. screw up in a lock up. stare. run. Screw up at
staring.
rating: 0

Jazz vs. Trish Stratus
Yes! I really love these matches. Jazz is the best woman wrestler I've seen. I can't wait
until she and Victoria lock horns. Trish Stratus is going to be great someday. This was a good
if short, showing.
rating: 3

Jeff Hardy vs. Brock Lesnar
I guess you've seen a Lesnar match by now. This is a very good and scary squash match
which shows off all of Lesnar's big moves (except for that shooting star press. Just wait).
rating: 3

Kurt Angle vs. Edge
This is Edge and Angle's second ppv match against each other (their first was at King Of The Ring 2001).
As great as that match was, this one is even better. In one of the best matches of the year, Kurt and Edge create some
incredible spots and truly get the crowd behind them. I have a feeling that in a few years these two will be facing each
other in a ppv main event Title match, that one being a match for the ages.
rating: 5

Rob Van Dam vs. Eddie Guerrero
RVD, the best high flyer in the world, and Eddie Guerrer, possibly the best all around wrestler in the world, face
off in the best match of the night, month, and second best match of the year (behind Edge vs. Eddie Guerrero, Smackdown nhb).
It is hard to put this match into words. This was without a doubt the match that relaunched Eddie's career. RVD put on a great
performance, obviously upset about his less than stellar match with William Regal at WM 18. Eddie put RVD through some
excruciating submissions and scientific suplexes. RVD gave out some of the greatest spots of the year. These two would recreate
this match later on Raw, this time with a ladder. It just didn't seem quite the same. Many people only speak of RVD as a
high-flyer. This match showed that he has some great technical counters, but in the end it just couldn't beat the technical
wizard known as Eddie Guerrero.
rating: 5

Stone Cold vs. The Undertaker
These two have tangled so much, what would make someone want to see this over, say, Judgement Day 2001 or Summerslam
1998? Well, not much. This is the worst match the two have had on PAY-PER-VIEW. While not BAD, this match just pales in
comparrison to those brawling classics. The Undertaker's days are getting shorter, and Stone Cold, while still able to put
on great matches, just has lost some of his juice.
rating: 2

Billy & Chuck vs. Al Snow and Maven
Jeez, why did you give Maven a ppv match? He's so green! Al Snow has no character. Billy and Chuck are as lame as it
can get. Not a very good match at all.
