"Johnny Wrestling" chants gave it 1 point.
The Elias segment with No Way Jose and New Day and Bobby Roode gave it 1 more point.

2/10...

This show had some potential, but it completely ruined it with stupid decisions. The WWE title match should have been the main event, not Roman vs Joe. The WWE title match was no DQ but it ended in a count out, which was stupid as hell. It was a good match ruined by dumbness. And Joe kicked Roman's ass through the entire match... Roman got a lucky and very clumsy spear and beat Joe.

This was just a bullshit show. Miz vs Rollins was really the only thing done right and it was the opening match.

First let me just say, this PPV was a pile of dog shit.

Opening match was solid. Miz and Rollins seem to have great chemistry. Best match of the night and the only match worth watching and reviewing on the PPV.. Elias segment was ok to.

If you haven't seen the PPV yet, just watch the opening match and don't waste 3 hours of your life watching the rest of the show.

2/10

 

[Jay-Ashley]

5/10 for me just for the opening match.

Seth vs the Miz was the best match of the night and the most entertaining one, I skipped Nia and Alexa because it would be boring, Jeff and Randy was boring as hell, the Elias segment was meh, Daniel and Cass was meh, Carmella and Charlotte was utter shit because 95% of the match was fucking Carmella screaming, AJ and Shinsuke was okay, Booby and Braun v Kevin and Sami was meh, and Joe and Roman was fucking dumb as hell.

I agree, i added that to my post..

 

[Solid Snake]

Well, this sounded generic. Had I watched, I would have given it a generous 3.

You're too nice. Usually I give PPV's at least a 5.. I've never rated anything a 2 before. If that tells you how bad the PPV was.

I guess I give it a 3/10 having not watched then.
Probably get a 1/10 if I did.

 

[Nikki Nitro]

The Roman/Joe segment was good. Imo. I thought for sure that Joe was gonna win. I shoulda Known Roman would've.

That match would've been better if they didn't spend 10 minutes in rest holds.. After 3 hours that's the last thing the fans want to see.

Let me show my initial responses to the Backlash results with "Smileys"

Ruby Riott defeated Bayley...
:thumbsup:

Seth Rollins defeated the Miz...
:thumbsup:

Nia Jax defeated Alexa Bitch...
:idk2:

Jeff Hardy defeated Randy Orton...
:thumbsup:

Daniel Bryan defeated Big Cass...
:thumbsup:

Carmella defeated Charlotte...cleanly...1 on 1...
:disapprove:

Styles vs. Nakamura ended in a no contest...
:disapprove:

Strowman & Lashley defeated Owens & Zayn...
:idk2:

The Plank of Wood defeated Samoa Joe...
:disapprove:

Okay...a few motes...

WWE reports Alexa Bliss is injured

I fucking said before these 2 even started feuding & having matches that
this was a sure fire way for someone to get hurt and nobody listened to me.

Well...I WAS RIGHT!!!

Also I'm guessing Ruby Riott will be Nia's next "feud" & hopefully its not
as cringe as this entire Nia/Alexa feud has been.

+ So...Carmella finally did something on her own & finally won a singles
pay per view match. WWE...you do realize you had Charlotte defeat
Asuka as Wrestlemania right? That was kind of a big deal...well...it was
to some people anyway.

I guess it doesn't mean anything now because instead of having Charlotte,
Asuka & Becky feud over the belt & push women's wrestling to a higher
standard...you've kept it on the annoying loser who couldn't wrestle herself
out of a wet paper bag.

I don't care about mic skills, merchandise or who's ass looks better...I want
to see competitive, engaging wrestling matches.

I'm sorry...but I can't take Carmella seriously & I wont. She is an annoying
clown without make-up with a terrible win/loss record & below average
ring skills.

Charlotte doesn't need the belt...but someone else should have it instead
of Hot...but Lame.

Also...WHY WASN'T ASUKA ON THIS SHOW?!

+ 5 World title matches...and Nakamura has failed every time. He's a loser
and I can't take him seriously anymore. Styles vs. Joe or Bryan now please.

Less nut punching & more actual wrestling please.

+ Why was the Plank of Wood vs. Joe match the main event? Someone out
there explain to me why this was the right decision to make.

Also the Plank won...but that's no real surprise seeing as he's been booked
as a pathetic failure since Elimination Chamber...time to make him look strong
again.

This show sounds horrible. I think I'll give it miss completely...well...apart from
Rollins/Miz...as I'm sure that match would have been solid.

Did you guys catch Rollins/Balor on RAW this week?

That was a fantastic match...

 

[Grievous 3D]

Trying to make sense of WWE is a complete waste of time

Yeah...pretty much...

:disapprove:

 

[Redboy123@]

I liked it when Roman won and they cut to loads of people in the crowd getting up to leave as fast as possible. As soon as he won, they got up and left straight away lol.

Tbf if you are setting up Roman vs Brock again, then Roman had to win.
