Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
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
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
RED ***spoilers****Another year, another beginning. With the upcoming draft between Raw and Smackdown, it's our last chance to see some of these guys go at at, and go at it they did.Match #1 - INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP (Jericho vs. Shelton Benjamin) What can I say, this was indeed a great match. As introductory matches go, this could have held a higher slot in the event card if WWE had wanted. Best match of the night. Both superstars showed amazing performance with Shelton making like Rey Mysterio. This guy is truly an athlete and seeing him bounce up to the top rope to superplex Jericho was just awesome. Benjamin reverses the WALLS into a pin for the win. (9/10) Match #2 - TAG TEAM TITLE (Regal/Tajiri vs. Heart Throbs vs. Simon Dean/Maven vs. La Resistance vs. Hurricane/Rosie) Also a great entry. Regal and Tajiri beat the "Heart Thobs" causing Simon Dean and Maven to come out. This part was somewhat slow but entertaining. Tajiri was able to pin a Heart Throb so Regal got his chance at a pin with his knee to the jaw on Simon Dean. Then, oh, yes, the French guys. We just love them...they stole it with a pull of Regal's tights. Finally Rosie and Hurricane came out with the victory after an awesome double team move off the turnbuckle/Rosie's shoulders. (7/10) Match #3 - Last Man Standing (Edge vs. Benoit) An OK match. Not as entertaining as the intercontinental match. There was plenty of counting and drops (a German suplex off a ladder anyone?) Edge came away with the victory after hitting Benoit over the head with a brick. (6/10) Match #4 - Kane vs. Viscera - A slow match but, then again, that's what one would expect from the big guys. Kane chokeslammed Viscera after he got a little too close to Leta's mouth. Some other highlights include Lita hitting Trish with her crutch and Viscera bear hugging then dropping on Trish. After that, the crowd loved him, so, it worked. (5/10) Match #5 - Hogan & HBK vs. Daivari & Hassan - Pretty good match, but heck, it was nice to see Hogan again. Didn't get to see that leg drop though. All an all, a nice match with HBK super kicking Daivari in the face for Hogan's pin. (7/10) Match #6 - HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP (Triple H vs. Batista II) If you saw Wrestlemania 21 and enjoyed the main event, your bound to have enjoyed this one. Probably better than the Wrestlemania version, it was quicker and better organized. PAcing seemed to flow and Triple H didn't get destroyed like before. There was more of a battle present rather than a slaughter. Refs were falling like dominoes and one even got a massive pedigree. Nice finish, action, and pacing. Batista delivers the Batista bomb after receiving some turnbuckle punches from HHH. (8/10) Pretty good PPV to start off this year. It's actually more of a tribute to the shows' present rosters with the upcoming draft. Christian even came out to do a little rap. It had CLB all over it but was an alright little segment. Also TRUST COMPANY's song Stroner complimented the main event well. (7/10) So far so good.
