Movie Reviews of WWE Backlash 2001
Movie Review: Attitude Era starts winding down here
Summary: 4 Stars
With the appex of WWE's Attitude era winding down after WrestleMania X-7, we now have Backlash 2001. The Rock is off in Hollywood at this point, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin turned heel and has teamed with HHH and was turning WWE on its ear. The Hardy Boyz and Lita were a hot trio as well as Kurt Angle, Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit were beginning to come to the forefront as major players and we were a couple of months away from the "Invasion."
This card was one of the best Backlash's ever. Here is the run down:
Dudley Boyz w/ Spike vs. X-Pac, Justin Credible, & Albert - At this point, The Dudley Boyz (now Team 3D) were a trio of Bubba Ray, D-Von and Spike Dudley. I can remember they worked very well with X-Pac, Justin Credible and Albert (who were known as X-Factor at this point).
Raven Vs. Rhyno (Hardcore Title Match) - A very good ECW style bout! Has one sick scene where Rhyno gets stuck in a shopping cart trying to gore Raven! Ends with Rhyno retaining the title.
Chris Jericho Vs. William Regal - One half the "Canadian Chris'" took on then-WWE Commissioner William Regal on one of the most ridiculous concept matches I've ever seen! I didn't even watch it all the way through! I only know that Regal won by screwjob.
Kurt Angle Vs. Chris Benoit (30 Minute Ultimate Submission Match) - Recent events aside, this is still one of my favorite bouts to watch and its actually my favorite Benoit Vs. Angle encounter. Lots of submissions and holds used here. We even see Angle and Benoit use the other's signature moves (anklelock, crossface) to get submissions. Ends when Benoit gets the final fall in overtime by countering a mat version of abdominal stretch by Angle into the crossface for the tapout.
Shane McMahon Vs. The Big Show (Falls Count Anywhere) - Standard Shane brawl with weapons. Not boring but nothing that special. Ends when Shane dives off the top of TitanTron onto TBS (with help from Test) with an elbowsmash for the pin.
Matt Hardy Vs. Eddie Guerrero Vs. Christian (WWE European Title Match) - Pretty good match but a bit short. This was Matt's first singles title in WWE at that time and I was expecting more of a match than we got. Still was good though.
The Undertaker/Kane Vs. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin/HHH (All Titles On The Line) - Basically, it was the WWE World, I-C and Tag Titles up for grabs here. The fans were into this one and it was better than expected. Ends with HHH and Austin winning and becoming tag team champions, making HHH only the second man to be a Grand Slam winner.
Overall, not a bad card to get if you can find it for a decent price.
Summary of WWE Backlash 2001
Chicago became the battlefield for the ultimate prize as Backlash took over the Allstate Arena. Includes all seven matches including the Duchess of Queensbury match, the Last Man Standing match and the title match between Power Trip, Kane and Undertaker. Approx. 3 hours.As 2001 pay-per-views go, Backlash is rather weak. Anytime you find the now aging and slow-moving Undertaker and Kane in a main event, you know the WWF had writers' block. Here, 'Taker and Kane take on heels Stone Cold Steve Austin and Triple H with all of the major titles up for grabs. Seeing Austin teaming with Triple H (the same guy who broke Stone Cold's neck a year back) requires suspension of disbelief that even wrestling fans can't muster. Luckily, Backlash has a couple of mid-card matches that save it from totally tanking. On the wresting side of things, the 30-minute Ultimate Submission Match between former Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle and technical specialist Chris Benoit is the type of match that pleases traditionalists: no gimmicks, pure action. And for those that love hardcore, the Raven/Rhyno match is brutal fun. --Dave McCoy
