WWE Backlash 2005 Audience Reviews

Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
kliko400 Wasn't really bad for the second Raw PPV of 2005, it was okay in my opinion but could have been better.FIRST MATCH- SHELTON BENJAMIN VS. CHRIS JERICHO FOR THE WWE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP What a great match this was. Great athletic moves by both men it was amazing. Benjamin reverses a roll-up into his own for the win to retain his WWE IC Title. 6/10 SECOND MATCH- REGAL & TAJIRI VS. HEART THROBS VS. ROSEY & HURRICANE VS. LA RESISTANCE VS. MAVEN & SIMON DEAN IN A TAG TEAM TURMOIL MATCH FOR THE WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP I like Tag Team Turmoil matches, & this one wasn't really bad. Rosey & Hurricane defeat La Resistance last with a super splash by Hurricane to win the World Tag Team Titles. 5/10 THIRD MATCH- EDGE VS. CHRIS BENOIT IN A LAST MAN STANDING MATCH Last Man Standing matches are supposed to be like brutal & violent, but this one was not. It was a bit slow but both men tried everything to put a great effort in the match. Edge wins after hitting Benoit on the back of the head with a brick to knock him out for the 10 count & to be the Last Man Standing. 4/10 FOURTH MATCH- KANE W/ LITA VS. VISCERA W/ TRISH STRATUS A big man vs. big man match which was okay. Lita hit Trish with her crutches during the match. Kane defeats the big man Viscera after a Chokeslam {Which he found difficulty in doing it because Viscera was twice as heavy as him}. After the match Trish slaps Viscera which leads to Viscera doing a bear hug on Trish followed by a running jump slam on Trish which led her to be injured much to the delight of the fans. 5/10 FIFTH MATCH- SHAWN MICHAELS & Hollywood HULK HOGAN VS. MUHAMMAD HASSAN & DAIVARI I was really looking forward to seeing Hulk Hogan's return. Too bad the match wasn't how I planned it'd be. Michaels & Hogan win after Sweet Chin Music followed by Hogan Leg Drop on Daivari for the win. 4/10 SIXTH MATCH- TRIPLE H W/ RIC FLAIR VS. BATISTA FOR THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP The awaited rematch for the World Title between Batista & HHH has come & I've got to say that their Wrestlemania encounter was a bit better than this match. After focusing on Batista's back almost the whole match, it wasn't enough as Batista nailed the Batista Bomb for the victory to retain his World Title in his first title defence. 4/10 So this Backlash PPV was not very bad, but could have been a bit better with probably more matches & more time on the HHH-Batista match probably.Overall: I'll give it 7/10 & a B
nascarsucks Match 1: Intercontinental Title-Shelton Benjamin (c) vs. Chris Jericho-Entertaining. The match ends when Jericho goes for a Lionsault. Shelton tries to counter, but Jericho lands and goes for the Walls of Jericho. Shelton rolls him up for the win. 7/10 Winner and still Intercontinental Champion: Shelton Benjamin by pinfall.Match 2: Tag Team Turmoil for the World Tag Team Championship- William Regal and Tajiri (c) vs. Maven and Simon Dean, Hurricane and Rosey, La Resistance, and The Heart Throbs. Interesting match, as usual. La Resistance rolls up Regal and then grabs the tights. Then Hurricane and Rosey come in. La resistance tries to do their move, but Rosey throws them off. Hurricane climbs on top of Rosey and jumps off of him and lands on conway. 1-2-3. 7/10 Winners and new World Tag Team Champions: Hurricane and Rosey by pinfallMatch 3-Last Man Standing match-Edge vs. Chris Benoit-Last Man standing matches are always good. But 'tis not be overused. This all started at Wrestlemania, when Edge hit Benoit with a chair to win. Anyway, this was interesting. Benoit hits his German suplexes, then does one off of a ladder. He goes for the swan headbutt but misses. Edge does the edgecution onto the money in the bank briefcase. Benoit gets up but gets speared. He gets up but gets speared again. He gets up again and gets hit by a brick. It's over. Great Match 8.5/10 Winner: Edge by knockoutMatch 4-Kane(with lita at ringside) vs. Viscera (with Trish stratus at ringside) This match didn't mean much, but Kane seemingly can't be in a horrible match. Viscera tries to kiss Lita, but Kane does a 500-pound chokeslam for the 1-2-3. After the match Trish yells at Viscera. He bearhugs her and jumps on her. EMT's rush to her aid. 5/10 Winner: Kane by pinfallMatch 5-HBK and Hulk Hogan vs. Muhammad Hassan and Daivari-Wasn't important, but great to see "the immortal one" in action. Match ends when Hogan tries to leg drop hassan, but he grabs hogans leg. HBK gives daivari sweet chin music and hogan covers. 6/10 Winners: HBK and Hulk HoganChristian does some rap. I'm gonna go get a coke. Match 6-World Heavyweight Championship-Batista vs. Triple H-Interesting. Batista tries to clothesline HHH, but hits the ref. Trips hits the Pedigree but no ref. Batista gets up and gets a low-blow. HHH goes to the top-rope but Batista gets up and gives him a Batista Bomb off the top rope for the win. 7.5/10 Winner and still World Heavyweight Champion: BatistaOverall good 7/10
Ikepoiyen668894 Not a great pay per viewed, far too many average matches.....1. Shelton benjamin (IC CHAMP) Vs Chris Jericho8.5/10 easily the best match of the night ..way to kick things off .benjamins performance is his best to date..he performs athletism like you wont believe ..one in which he jumps from the mat onto the top rope and superplexes jericho...crowd were 50 50 which always adds excitement..jericho was average ..he could do better .but i guess he was thinking of FOZZY.2. Hurricane and Rosey Vs LA Resistance vs Regal and Tajiri(CHAMPS) vs Heatthrobs 5/10 Average nothing special tag titles are nothing as we see because the pathetic hurricane and rosey win the match.. though it was better then i expected. and crowd were surprisingly into it.3. Kane Vs Viscera6.5/10 This rating isn't really for the match as the match was poor as you would expect ..it was the ending which was tops..viscera beating the hell out of trish which was hilarious and the crowd loved it as well4. Edge vs Benoit Last Man Standing6.5/10 Not impressed by this match , it was very average, just didn't seem to really ever get exciting.5. Hulk Hogan and HBK Vs Hassan and Daivari6/10 Hogan is in it so it obviously isn't that good . it was an average match with an average ending ...the celebrations were cool though ...including a fat guy with rolls coming in the ring doing hogan poses.6. Batista (WORLD CHAMPION) Vs Triple H WORLD TITLE MATCH6.5/10 Once again just average ...unfortunately due to batista relying on triple h's carrying the crowd were lost halfway through and as batista try to pump them up with his wannabee warrior antics..he was simply booed by the crowd(WHICH I LOVED LOLOL)Average match average ending but cool build up because of triple h saying "THE PEDIGREE IS THE TRUTH" lololol luvd it
wrestlingsitewebmaster A solid PPV. To be fair ALL of WWE's PPV's throughout 2005 have been solid.Match 1 saw the greatest pure athlete in my opinion, Shelton Benjamin put his Intercontinental Championship on the line against Chris Jericho. This was a fantastic battle, which saw Benjamin winning the contest.Next up William Regal and Tajiri put their Tag titles on the line as they challenged the Raw tag teams. They won The Heart Throbs, Romeo and Antonio in a 3 minute bore, then won Simon Dean and Maven, but lost to La Resistance. Finally The Hurricane and Rosey pinned Rob Conway to capture their first Tag Team titles.Next up Kane took on Viscera. Oh yes, this was complete with One Man Gang style elbow drops and King Kong Bundy style splashes, but after 6 minutes of slow action, Kane chokeslammed Big Vis for the win. Afterwards Vis splashed Trish Stratus! Next up Hulk Hogan and Shawn Michaels took it to Muhammad Hassan and Daivari (hey did anyone else think that Hogan and HBK would lose?!.)These two men certainly made the ladder match at WM XXI memorable and they did just that in this match. Yes I'm talking about Edge and Chris Benoit in a brilliant last man standing match. Moments included Edge superplexing Benoit off the top rope onto a bin and Benoit doing to the diving head butt off the top of a ladder but missing. Edge won.Then the main event, which consisted of World Heavyweight Champion, Batista and Triple H. Batty won, which made me realise how can Trips lose TWO times on the row to Batty?! Overall Grade A
