Movie Reviews of WWE Backlash 2003
Movie Review: A Better Backlash than Usual
Summary: 4 Stars
Usually, Backlash is one of the weaker PPV's of the year. It's not really the PPV itself that's a let down it's just that it follows Wrestlemania and their is really nothing that can follow such an enormous ppv. Plus, Backlash is always dealing with the ramifications of the things that happened at Backlash. However, the last two years the WWF/WWE have tried to seperate themselves from the Backlash norm by making huge mainevents. Last year it was Hollywood Hulk Hogan vs HHH for the Undisputed Title and this year it's The Rock vs. Goldberg.Los Guerreros vs Team Angle for the WWE Tag Team Championship-A solid match and a good opener. Eddie Guerrero is by far one of the most entertaining things that the WWE has going. The match itself was fun to watch and overall had nothing that majorly distracted from the action that took place in the ring. I give it 8 out of 10 stars.
Rikishi vs Sean O'Haire w/Rowdy Roddy Piper-It's nice to see the WWE using a veteran like Roddy Piper to push a mid-card star. I say mid-card about Sean O'Hair because he has been around a while. Well, this match is as good as can be expected seeing as how it came from a feud involving coconuts that started almost 20 years ago. A PPV squash match that does not make the squasher look important. Good to see the WWE trying to push O'Haire, but even that cannot save this match. 6 out of 10 stars.
Kane/Rob Van Dam vs The Dudley Boyz for the World Tag Team Championships w/Chief Morley as the Special Referee-Kane and RVD made decent tag champs, but the Dudleyz playing the reluctant heels just didn't work. Chief Morley's character had worn thin by this time and apparently the WWE realized it because shortly after the character was scrapped. Not as good or entertaining as the WWE Tag Team Titles Match, but nothing overall horrible either. 7 out of 10 stars.
Jazz w/Theodore Long vs Trish Stratus for the Women's Championship-For some reason the WWE feels the need to push that Jazz is practically unbeatable. Trish has only beat her a couple of times and I believe the majority of them were because Jazz was injured. Well, Jazz isn't injured and they have placed her with Teddy Long's group. Obvious outcome, but a decent women's match. 7 out of 10.
Rey Mysterio vs The Big Show- At first I thought that they were going to push Rey Mysterio as the Giant Killer like he was billed in WCW after victories over Kevin Nash and the such. However, this is the WWE and The Big Show is probably double Kevin Nash's weight. Rey Mysterio puts on an entertaining match with The Big Show and his bumps are impressive especially the spot on the stretcher. 7 out of 10.
John Cena vs Brock Lesnar for the WWE Heavyweight Championship-This is like an OVW Classic. The Prototype(John Cena) vs. one half of the Minnesota Stretching Crew(Brock Lesnar/Shelton Benjamin). Just joking. Anyways, John Cena is coming into his own with his Thuganomics character. Good to see the WWE recognizing this and giving him a push. A solid match even though he didn't win. The WWE seems to lack major upsets, but for a while they did make it seem like Cena had a chance of beating Lesnar. A good match that hopefully, will have a rematch eventually. 8 out of 10.
Kevin Nash, Shawn Michaels, and Booker T vs. Chris Jericho, Ric Flair and HHH-Well,Nash had just returned after Wrestlemania to find HBK and HHH going at it. Of course he goes right into a feud with HHH and leaves Booker T by the wayside. Oh wait for some reason he's thrown in here. This is a decent six man tag match that manages to avoide showing too many of Nash's weaknesses. 8 out of 10 stars.
The Rock vs Goldberg-The week's leading up to this match with the Rock and Goldberg were hillarious. The Rock bringing in Gillberg and the such made for some entertaining television. The match itself was decent. Goldberg isn't a very solid wrestler and it shows in this match. The Rock may be an entertainer, but he can wrestler. Goldberg's style is almost a mix of MMA and mat wrestling. That's makes matches with him seem disjointed. The Rock pulls him to a decent match, but nothing spectacular and definately a let down for what was supposed to be another in The Rock's series of "I Never Imagined it Could Happen" matches. 7 out of 10.
Overall, a decent rebound after Wrestlemania, but a weak ppv. Some nice extras on the dvd mainly centering around Goldberg and a bonus match from Sunday Night Heat. If you're like me then you would buy it no matter what. A PPV is a PPV and if you didn't see it when it aired then it's better to get it on dvd.

Summary: 4 Stars
Hello and welcome to my review on Summerslam 2002. I use a grading system and each match receives a grade. Then to determine how the show ranks the total of the matches scores are divided by the number of matches giving the grade and a comment about whether you should buy it or not. The grading system is as follows.
Grading E- = 0 - 8.33%-Waste of time and money.
E = 8.33 - 16.66%-Waste of time and money.
E+ = 16.66 - 24.99%-Waste of time and money.
D- = 24.99 - 33.32%-Very poor event maybe read about it.
D = 33.32 - 41.65%-Poor event with a little something standing out.
D+ = 41.65 - 50%-Not a very good event but it just below passing.
C- = 50 - 55.55%-Just below average worth a watch.
C = 55.55 - 61%-An average event worth a renting.
C+ = 61 - 66.65%-Above average worth a purchase if you can find it for cheap.
B- = 66.65 - 72.20%-Good event with a lot of good stuff. Purchase if you're a collector or interested.
B = 72.20 - 77.75%-Good quality event which is worth purchase and should be collected.
B+ = 77.75 - 83.30%-Very high quality event with awesome matches. Must have for anyone.
A- = 83.30 - 88.85%-Excellent event, must have for anyone. Lock this one away.
A = 88.85 - 94.40%-Extremely spectacular event with lots of great stuff. Lock this away.
A+ = 94.40 - 100%-DVD of the century, must buy and keep in a very safe place.
Match One-WWE Tag Team Championship-Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas(C)Vs Eddie & Chavo Guerrero-This match was a very good way to start this PPV. It had some good action with a nice ending which finished this match and the way it was set properly. Great moment after the match involving the teams. My rating 7.42/10.
Match Two-Sean O'Haire Vs Rikishi-This was a short match with some good solid ring work between these two men. Roddy Piper got a coconut smashed across his head very funny it was. Good strength shown by O'Haire. Match was too short though. My rating 5.81/10.
Match Three-World Tag Team Championship-Kane & RVD(C)Vs The Dudleys-Val Venis or Chief Morley as he was known here was the special referee making it a challenge for RVD & Kane. The match was nothing spectacular but it was still good to keep this show rolling. My rating 6.19/10.
Match Four-Womens Title-Trish Stratus(C)Vs Jazz-This was a nice short match with some good action between two of the best women wrestlers in the division today. The feud between these two has been quite good producing in some good matches. My rating 6.01/10.
Match Five-Big Show Vs Rey Mysterio-This was a short basic squash match but it was still kind of interesting watching the big man vs small man type of match. Hopefully Rey and Show get pushed for the big titles during the year. My rating 6.41/10.
Match Six-WWE Championship-Brock Lesnar(C)Vs John Cena-This was the match of the night, had lots of action, some blood and it told a story. This definetly should have been the main event for the night. Hopefully these two feud again one day. John Cena used to be so awesome as a heel. My rating 8.30/10.
Match Seven-Kevin Nash, Shawn Michaels & Booker T Vs Chris Jericho, HHH & Ric Flair-This was a good match with two feuds booked into one making it good, but the ringwork was rather sloppy. Hopefully over the next few months they put Y2J Vs HBK again and HHH Vs Nash as well. This was definetly a good match though. My rating 8.15/10.
Match Eight-Main Event-Rock Vs Goldberg-This was a fairly sloppy match, Rock playing the heel got more cheers then Goldberg and there was too many finishers and Goldberg was not good in the ring at all. This was a very bad match for a main event let alone a main event on PPV. My rating 6.82/10.
This was a fairly ordinary PPV but it still had a couple of good matches. The score was 55.11/80 which equals 68.88%. In a grade it is a B- which means it was a Good event with a lot of good stuff. Purchase if you're a collector or interested.
Movie Review: Why don't there have Undertaker, Kurt Angle, Chris Beniot, & World Title Match.
Summary: 4 Stars
I hope that you understand on my grammer. I don't well on the grammer but I try to help the review.... I liked it and that was smooth Matches but some matches were waste subtrances Undertaker, Kurt Angle, Chris Beniot, World Title Match, and better main event than The Rock vs. Goldberg. Also, have 3 out of 8 matches is Tag Team Match! 3 is much if better 1 tag team match. Also, there have no triple threat match or etc. than single match.
1) WWE Tag Team Champion Team Angle vs. Los Guerreros: That good and lot of wrestle techology too. Bad end but fun at after match. While Charile Haas pinned Chavo, Shelton Benjamin hold Chavo's both of legs to away from rope then 1,2,&3 and Team Angle win by cheat. Los Guerreros were stolen the title then leave the arena with lowride car. That's good match.
Rating: 8/10
Winner: Team Angle
2) Rikini vs. Sean O'hairo: blah... blah.... That's ruin Backlash's rating so I guess that was shrot and not good match but I give 6 rating to Sean's action finisher move on Rikini.
Rating: 6/10
Winner: Sean O'hairo
3)World Tag Team Champion Rob Van Dam & Kane vs. Dudley Boyz with Val Venis as ref. that's good!!! RVD and Kane are doing good jobs with Dudley Boyz. That's have many good spot on the RVD and Bubba Dudley. You never skip this match. That's good match. Team Angle vs. Los Guerreros are still better that this but still good.
Rating: 8/10
Winner: RVD & Kane
4) Women's Champion Trish vs. Jazz skip it
Rating: 1/10
Winner: Jazz
5) Big Show vs. Rey Mysterio that was awesome match! Rey Mysterio is try to beat Big Show but at end, Rey Mysterio do 619 to Big Show but He do chokeslam to Rey Mysterio at hardest then 1,2,&3. After that, Rey Mysterio goes to Hopitotal. Some funnies spot to Big Show.
Rating: 10/10
Winner: Big Show
6) WWE Champion Brock Lesner vs. John Cena that's good! John Cena was kicked Brock Lesner's @$$ and Brock bleed by hit the stair. I can tell that John Cena real wanted the WWE Title. John Cena was make it at Wrestlemania 21 but John Cena wasn't make it at that night fail by Brock's F-5 on John Cena at end. At middle match was long submission!
Rating: 9/10
Winner: Brock Lesner
7) Six-men Tag Team Match Booker T, Shawn "HBK" Michaels, & Kevin Nash vs. Triple H, Ric Flair, & Chris Jericho I don't know why the people don't like this match. That's good match with Kevin Nash and Triple H. At end, Triple H win by stupied CHEAT! I hated he doing that! You knew that Triple H take Sedlge Hammer. Kevin nash shoulder to win while HE'S RETURN!
Rating: 8/10
Winner: Triple H, Ric Flair, & Chris Jericho
8) Main Event The Rock vs. Goldberg........No Comments
Rating: 10/10 (Best of Night!)
Winner: Goldberg
Overall of Backlash 2003: 60/80 that's mean to 75% C. That was low grades due to WOMEN TITLE MATCH and RIKINI VS. SEAN O'HAIRO. Low rating and and still good! My support is rent it at first if you like it buy it. If not like it, not buy it. See u.

Backlash 2003
A good event but the two main events could have been a lot better
WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS MATCH
Team angle vs. Los gurreros
A high flying match im glad that team angle got the victory because I hate Eddie gurrerro I don't care if he is now dead I hate him and im so glad I wont have to watch another match with him in
Rickishi vs. Sean o' haire with rowdy roddy piper
An ok kind of match one you would expect on Sunday night heat

Kane & Rob van dam vs. The Dudley boys with chief Morley as the guest ref
An average match for a raw card
Women's championship match
Jazz vs. Trish stratus
Boring to say the least and I hate teddy long
Rey mysterio vs. The big show
A funny match if your me and hate rey mysterio you will love what big show does to rey mysterio absolutely hilarious
Six man tag match
Kevin nash,shawn michales,booker t vs. triple h,ric flair,chris jericho
A good match but weak in places very sloppy ending that sets the tone for judgement day and bad blood in witch triple h and Kevin nash go at it and all so for shawn michales and ric flair who face each other at bad blood take away jericho for this mtach and add batista and take away booker t for this match and add undertaker
WWE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Brook lesnar vs. john cena
I didn't care who won this match as I hate both wrestlers john cena can't rap very annoying match were you knew lesnar wasn't goin to lose to cena 4 weeks after wrestle mania we don't need wannabees like john cena is the mix of smack down or raw he is nobody talking about he grew up on the streets so what who cares and all this thuga nomics rubbish use proper words were you don't have to use spell check let cena have his 5 mins of glory then let him be the first match on Sunday night heat
THE MAIN EVENT
THE ROCK VS GOLDBERG
The rock should have won this match the only reason there is Goldberg is because eric bishoff wanted a stone cold look a like for wcw wcw is a complete shambles the rock should have won this match the rock has beaten Hogan,triple h,undertaker,stone cold,mankind,kurt angle,the big show,booker t the best there is
And who has Goldberg beaten sting and jeff jaret lol please wwe don't let Goldberg back there are farbetter wrestlers in the wwe for example Shelton Benjamin watching wwe in 2003 was like I was watching wcw nitro I don't wana see the likes of booker t or Goldberg or Kevin nash or hulk Hogan or scot steiner or rey mysterio or eddie gurero his dead lol good the rock is far greater than any wcw wrestler the rock is simply the best there is in the bussiness
Overall BACKLASH 2003 I GIVE IT 3/5 FOR THE EVEN AND 4/5 FOR THE DVD WITH LOTS OF EXTRAS
Movie Review: Backlash really wasn't that bad
Summary: 4 Stars
Everyone says this ppv was absolutely awful, but I thought it was pretty good. Most of the matches were entertaining and the three main events were fresh rivalries. The undercard features the WWE Tag-Team titles on the line with Team Angle and Los Guerreros(a decent opener, but nothing we haven't seen before), Rikishi going one on one with Sean O'Haire w/Roddy Piper(definitely the worst match of the show and did not belong on ppv), a World Tag-Team title match between the champs Kane and Rob Van Dam and the Dudleyz(Chief Morley as the guest referee added a lot to this match which was one of the night's best), a Women's title match with Trish defending against Jazz(a usual women's match), and Big Show against Rey Mysterio(what happens after the match is better than the match itself). The three main events were all pretty good, the best being the WWE Title match between Brock Lesnar and John Cena. Cena delivers in his first big time match and Lesnar puts on one hell of a performance as well. The six-man tag-team match was my personal favorite of the night. Kevin Nash, Shawn Michaels and Booker T team up to battle Triple H, Ric Flair and Chris Jericho. Everyone has good ringtime in this match, and it turns out to be a pretty good match. Triple H adds fuel to the fire in his rivalry with Nash at the end of the battle. The last main event was a supposed dream match between The Rock and Goldberg. Of the three main events this was the worst, and I do not think it should have gone on last. There are some pretty entertaining moments from the Rock in this match though. Didn't feel like a ppv main eventhowever. The six-man should have been for the World Heavyweight title and gone on last. The extras on this DVD aren't bad. The Rock after Backlash is the best. I think it is worth the money to buy, but it depends on your taste in wrestling.
