Movie Reviews of WWE Backlash 2001
Movie Review: Backlash Still Proves To Be My Personal Favourite of all ppvs
Summary: 5 Stars
6-Man Tag Team Match
The Dudley Boyz vs. X Factor
A not too long or too short of a match. Lots of moves that were directed down south of the human anatomy if you know what I mean. X Factor win the battle although they did not win the war at Backlash. Good Opener. 6.5/10
Hardcore Championship Match
Rhyno (c) vs. Raven
Hell Yes a brutal and fantastic hardcore match with a great diversity of weapons used within the match such as shopping trolleys, kitchen sink, stop signs etc. My favourite moment was when Rhyno gored the shopping cart after raven moved. I miss these hardcore matches. 10/10
Duchess of Queensburry Match
Chris Jericho vs. William Regal
An above-average match between Regal and Jericho in my opinion much better than their match at Wrestlemania 17 and much longer. The downside to this match is that stupid duchess kept changing the rules of the match into the favour of Regal. First no win by submission and also no Dq although Jericho did get his revenge on duchess through the walls of Jericho. 7/10 due to the rules changing every 2 mins.
30-Minute Ultimate Submission Match
Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit
This match should've of happened at Wrestlemania 17. The Angle and Beniot feud of 2001 is one of my most favourite feuds of all time. A whole arsenal of different submission moves were used by both competitors and of course their own specials. The last 10 minutes were really intense due to that Beniot was behind 3 to 2 and then came back to make a draw 3/3. The match was extended a further 5 minutes under sudden death which in the end crowned Beniot the winner and in my opinion deserved it after being screwed by Angle at WM17. 10/10
Last Man Standing Match
Shane McMahon vs. The Big Show
This was definitely the highlight of the night. Some weapons were used by Shane O Mac such as a kendo stick, steel chair, keep out sign and either a cloth soaked with chloroform or something. Suddenly Test and Vince McMahon interfered in the match lifting the suspense. The ending actually made me jump as Shane did an elbow drop of the 50ft scaffold onto the Big Show. Test helped Shane up while the big show was counted out for 10 Shane wins, a Fantastic Match. 10/10
European Championship
Triple Threat Match
Eddie Guerrero vs. Christian vs. Matt Hardy (c)
The Crowd weren't really into this match after the last man standing match but overall it was pretty enjoyable. The match did indeed force you to wonder who was going to walk away Euro champ although until Edge and Jeff hardy interfered it was pretty clear that Matt was going to retain. A nice short solid title match. 7.5/10
WWE Title/Intercontinental Title/Tag Team Titles match
Stone Cold Steve Austin [WWE Champion] and Triple H [Intercontinental Champion] vs. Kane and the Undertaker [Tag Team champions]
Winners take all
I was very much surprised of how great this main event with the winner take all situation I believe was fair for Taker & Kane. This was a brutal long 20 minute brawl between the brothers of destruction against Stone Cold & Triple H. Steph got big booted in the face for her interference. Kane was double teamed throughout the majority of the match his left arm being a pin point bullseye for HHH and the rattlesnake. Taker chases after Austin through the crowd leaving Kane & Triple H until Vince interfered giving hunter a sledgehammer to which was used on Kane in the face. Stone cold and HHH become the new tag champs. 9/10
60/70 which is 85% meaning that if you are a true wrestling fan you need to buy this DVD immediately none of the matches will let you down.
Movie Review: AWESOME!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Why du alot of people think this is boring. This was the second best backlash of all time, behind 2004. When you have a Ultimate Submiision Match, Last Man Standing Match, and a great hardcore title match on the same card, i don't know how you can find it boring.
1. X-Factor vs. The Dudleyz and Spike: A good opener. A lookback at the good old times were you can just throw a match together easily and it could still be good. Nowadays, if you did that it would most likely be a DUD. Anywayz, a good opener and fairly entertaining. 7.5/10
2. Hardcore Title: Rhyno vs. Raven: One of the best hardcore matches of all time! These two beat the hell out of each other and it was both men's best performance in 2001. If you want a brutal hardcore title match on PPV, check this out! 10/10
3. Chris Jericho vs. William regal "Dutchess of Quensbury Rules" Okay, Jericho is awesome, and he totally got screwed by the boring William Regal. Weird stipulation. Horriblles screw job. Sort of decent. 6/10
4. Ultimate Submission Match Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit: This was the match of the night in my opinion. The concept was brilliant, making an iron man match out of submissions. For once, Benoit beats angle...in overtime! It was awesome! i hope angle and benoit continue there awesome rivalry again one day. 10/10
5. Last Man standing Big Show vs. Shane O' Mac: The Shane "bump" is one of the things this ppv is remembered for. It was a great match and it rocked my world. Shane is amazing! 9.5/10
6. Triple Threat European Title: A pretty good match. Just a card filler basically. it's still decent though 7/10
7. Tag Team Match: WWE Title/IC title/Tag Title All on the line: Power Trip vs. Brothers of Destruction: Didn't live up to the hype. Pretty boring. The hardcore, lms, and angle vs. benoit overshadowed the main event, by far. It's pretty sad when the 2nd match is way better than the main event. Pretty boring. 6/10
