Movie Reviews of WWE Backlash 2002
Movie Review: A Bad Way To Start The Brand Split
Summary: 2 Stars
Backlash was the first WWF PPV after the start of the RAW/SmackDown brand split and you can see why this one wasn't done well as it was just absolutely horrible with alot of dull matches with an occassional standout but not enough to get you through this 3 hour show.
Crusierweight Champion Billy Kidman vs. Tajiri - This was the right way to start off the show off as these two gave you a good crusierweight match that was filled with wrestling & some high flyin'.
Bradshaw vs. Scott Hall - The APA reunited in this match was Faarooq was in the corner to counteract X-Pac in Hall's corner. This was just a drawn out brawl between the two that really got dull & dry most of the time.
Womens Champion Jazz vs. Trish Stratus - Molly Holly beat down Trish before the match so it was mostly just Jazz finishing Trish off while Trish sold the beating. Not a good womens match.
Brock Lesnar vs. Jeff Hardy - Hardy was nothing more than a body for Brock to abuse & beat down to the point where he was knocked out & the referee stopped the match. This could have been saved for RAW...not a PPV.
Edge vs. Kurt Angle - This was the beginning of a great series of matches between the two. Edge had singles matches before but none of them before showcased how Edge could wrestle a main event callibur style of match until this one. This was the match of the night for me only to be topped by each match afterwards in the spring of 2002.
Intercontinental Champion Rob Van Dam vs. Eddie Guerrero - The battle of the frog splashes here. This was better than their Judgment Day encounter but this performance was topped by their RAW ladder match. These two meshed well with their arial & mat based styles. This was the second best match of the night.
Stone Cold vs. Undertaker with special referee: Ric Flair - Honestly, this match was a long & boring 30 min. encounter. Unlike their previous matches where they had some wrestling, brawling, and just absolute crazyness throughout the match...they just tried to straight up wrestle for half an hour & it just came off as boring & flat. Not even the "Flair" factor saved this match for me.
WWF Tag Team Champions Billy & Chuck vs. Al Snow & Maven - This match was boring as well...SmackDown was heavily lacking tag teams at this time but yet drafted the tag team champions to that show.
WWE Champion Triple H vs. Hollywood Hogan - This began Hogan's last WWE title run as Triple H made Hogan look like a million bucks in the ring. The finish started to get a little too screwy but overall, the match was good.
(Also available on Hogan's Anthology)
In the end, there were only two matches worth paying for (Edge/Angle & RVD/Guerrero) but their best encounters are on other DVD's more worth your buck. This is a PPV that I would skip off as this PPV overall was medicore.
