WWE Backlash
Manchester, New Hampshire
Verizon Wireless Arena
May 1st, 2005
Heat Match
Val Venis vs Tyson Tomko
My Prediction: Tyson Tomko
Result: Tyson Tomko
Match Rating: 6.5/10 - Firstly, Tyson's white boots - what the hell is he on!?!? Also, the ring bell sounds really, really awful. Not a good omen for what may very well be one of the worst PPVs of all time. Anyway, fairly cack match, with Tyson faking an eye injury topping the cackness off. Nice to see an "RIP Skip" sign in the crowd, though.
1. Intercontinental Title
Shelton Benjamin (c) vs Chris Jericho
My Prediction: Chris Jericho
Result: Shelton Benjamin
Match Rating: 9/10 - Highly entertaining match with some superb spots. Definately better than their Taboo Tuesday outing.
2. Tag Title Turmoil
William Regal & Tajiri (c) vs The Heart Throbs vs Hurricane & Rosey vs La Resistance vs Maven & Simon Dean
My Prediction: Hurricane & Rosey
Result: Hurricane & Rosey
Heart Throbs eliminated by Regal & Tajiri
Maven & Simon Dean eliminated by Regal & Tajiri
Regal & Tajiri eliminated by La Resistance
La Resistance eliminated by Hurricane & Rosey
Match Rating: 8/10 - Not too bad, but an absolutely cintilating finish, with Hurricane diving off of Rosey's shoulders to get the win. About time they had the gold.
3. Last Man Standing
Chris Benoit vs Edge
My Prediction: Edge
Result: Edge
Match Rating: 8.5/10 - Edge bricked Benoit, bringing the match to an abrupt end. Good match though, some nice spots.
Cue a really long time-water involving Kane and Lita kissing, and Chris Masters interrupting the divas. Lawler's comments were rather amusing, though. Masters squashed a tranvestite, and King Mabel continued his programme with Trish.
4. Kane vs Viscera
My Prediction: Viscera
Result: Kane
Match Rating: 7/10 - Better than I expected, but still not that great. I wanted Kane to lie down for Vis, so Trish had to, well, you know.
After the match, Vis hilariously shakes Trish like a ragdoll after she insults him, and squashes her.
5. Hulk Hogan & Shawn Michaels v Muhammed Hassan & Kosorrow Daivari
My Prediction: Hulk Hogan & Shawn Michaels
Result: Hulk Hogan & Shawn Michaels
Match Rating: 8/10 - The "Muhammed Stole My Towel" sign was rather amusing, and Hogan got an absolutely collosal pop, as expected. One of the highlights was Hogan putting a Hulkamania cap on Daivari before hitting him. Despite their cheating, Hassan and Daivari got absolutely owned. Good match though.
Some guy had a Hogan tatoo, and should probably lose some weight, but it'd make the tatoo screw up. Oh, and we saw an ECW One Night Stand promo. Guess they're not gonna make an angle out of it. Christian then comes out and does a rap.
6. Heavyweight Title
Batista (c) vs Triple H
My Prediction: Batista
Result: Batista
Match Rating: 8/10 - I actually thought we might have a no contest here, but it was nice to see a proper finish. Trips Pedigreed the ref after the match, whilst Batista laughed in his face.
Meh, nothing special as an event. I blame the very small card.

God you're generous with your ratings :-D
Well done to Edge for making it obvious he viciously smashed Benoit with his forearm

Yeah, we could've actually seen a match. Pfft. Reminds me of that diva crap they did at No Way Out.

Heart Throbs = worst. team. ever.
And VM - definitely not the Shane Twins. Google them and compare them with The Heart Throbs :0P

And now the PPV goes downhill,
I read some of the stuff from NODQ.com, but I'll be checking out the TNA site now.
Oh, and WILL SHELTON TAP!?!?!

i really can't wait for kane vs viscera, it's gonna be the best match of all time OMG!!1111
visceras ringwear should simply say "i'm here cos matt got fired"
Regarding candido - i believe the TNA site has a fair amount of stuff about him written by his fellow wrestlers. i've not had time to read it, but it's a nice gesture if it's true.

I hope they book a few extra matches for Backlash. The card's looking very thin on the ground.
