Movie Reviews of WWE Backlash 2001

Movie Review: A late April WWF pay per view event
Summary: 5 Stars

Match by match

Sunday Night HeAT
Jerry Lynn vs Crash Holly
At barely under 3 minutes, this was better than most of what you'd see on an average episode of Raw, Smackdown, or ECW today. (6/10)

Molly Holly vs Lita
Without a doubt the single greatest women's match in the WWF I've ever seen, and yet it was barely given more than 3 minutes or so. Far and away better than most of the work done by so-called "world champions" today. (10/10)

The Dudley Boys vs X-Factor
Great match, a great showing of the Dudley Boys's talent. Unfortunately, X-Factor shows little beyond being decent workers for jobbing. Justin Credible is badly watered down from his ECW days, and Albert is a great show of power, but has little else going for him. Spike barely got to do much. (7/10)

WWF Hardcore Championship
Rhyno (C) vs Raven
A little slab of old ECW for us. Without a doubt, this was the sickest, stiffest, and most awesome/cringe-inducing hardcore match I've ever seen. Both men were badly stiffing each other with some of the roughest and hardest weapon shots and strikes I've ever seen, and two of the absolute sickest bumps on Rhyno not involving falling from high spots or botching moves:
- Bump 1: A leap off the top steps onto Raven sitting in a chair---Raven moves out of the way, Rhyno crashed into the chair. That he didn't break his legs is a miracle.
- Bump 2: A full-speed Gore through the rear end of a shopping cart. (10/10)

Duchess of Queensbury Rules Match
William Regal vs Chris Jericho
Aside from the stupidity of the gimmick to this, and the ugliness of the "duchess" this was a barely average match. (5.5/10)

30 Minute Ultimate Submission Match
Kurt Angle
This was not as good as their Wrestlemania X7 match, but worlds better than their Royal Rumble 2003 match. In a truly professional way, these two paced the match without it lagging and getting horribly boring (like Shawn Michaels did with those rounds of 10 minute headlocks at Wrestlemania 21). A perfect exercise of professional technical wrestling. My only complaint, a dubious one at best, was a seeming emphasis solely on getting submission moves in as much as possible. (10/10)

Last Man Standing
The Big Show vs Shane McMahon
Apparently and obviously the only highlight of this otherwise average match was Shane McMahon climbing to the top of the titantron and diving off the top nearly fifty feet in the air. (6/10)

WWF European Championship
Matt Hardy (C) vs Christian vs Eddie Guerrero
Why, another reviewer asked, was this match on the card? Maybe because it was one of the best in the evar?!?!?! I scream back. Undoubtedly, this was the best triple threat match I've seen from the WWF/WWE. Unlike typical formula, it didn't go with two men battling while one lay around outside the ring like he'd been slammed with a sledgehammer---all three worked with perfect cohesion and fluid motion, shifting places for some one-on-one battles, with plenty of roundabout 2 on 1, 1 on 1 on 1s and so on for a fast-paced high quality wrestling match. (10/10)

WWF Championship + WWF Intercontinental Championship + WWF Tag Team Championship
Stone Cold Steve Austin (C) and Triple H (C) vs The Undertaker (C) and Kane (C)
I was skeptical on this one, after the debacle that was The Rock, Kane, Undertaker vs The McMahons and Triple H at King of the Ring 2000, but the difference here is the great workmanship of a then non-McMahon-married Triple H and a freshly heel Stone Cold Steve Austin. This was a classic WWF style brawl and powerfest by men peaking in their prime, with plenty of psychology and athleticism in a match like this. And I still marvel at Calaway's perfect balance on the top rope. (9/10)
