Backlash Rate Backlash 2018

[Rosie]

Won't get a rating since I stopped watching after the BS WWE title finish. But now I can see why people are giving it low ratings. The opener was very good. Next two were what they needed to be. The segment with Ellias was gold. Cass vs Bryan was good overall in the David vs Goliath story. Then the SD women's match was rough. Then the WWE Championship match was really kicking it into high gear until a BS ending killed it.

You had potential WWE, WHY?! *slaps head*

I finally got to watch Supercard of Honor XII. It's amazing how a company with only a fraction of the resources WWE has knows how to put on a good show.

It is bizarre to me how the WWE can do this. They have to know how crappy it is. I mean, unless their intention is to make us think it is crappy. I dunno.

Miz, Seth and Finn are the only ones who have had really good matches this year.

The mixed tag match at Mania was the best match year. That's embarrassing to the rest of the roster.

Guys like AJ, Roman, Nakamura, Lesnar, Orton, Joe, Cena, Usos, New Day, The Bar, Braun, KO and Zayn have all sucked this year. None of them have had top quality matches.

This ppv was WWE's 2018 in a nutshell. I don't know why the match quality this year has sucked so much on the main roster.

The worst thing is the WWE built up some real excitement & momentum
at Wrestlemania & with the superstar shake up...and they basically pissed
it all away...

~ The constant pushing of a guy most REAL fans can't stand...
~ A landmark women's match with the possibilities of a more
intense rematch thrown away to push another loudmouthed,
unskilled blonde because of MIC SKILLS & CUTE BUTT!!!
~ Styles/Nakamura failing to deliver on 3 separate occasions...
~ The entire tag division being completely disrespected...
~ Strowman being "stalled" in pointless tag team matches...
~ The constant "Smoke & Mirrors" surrounding Ronda Rousey...

This company has so much talent & unlimited resources...
and yet they serve up shit like this.

And without any "true" competition...they will just keep
doing the same old shit with the creative & booking on
autopilot.

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

Soon those people won't even bother showing up to the
events...they'll just stay at home and watch something else.

Miz, Seth and Finn are the only ones who have had really good matches this year.

I'd personally include Charlotte & Asuka in that group...
but then that's just me.

You had potential WWE, WHY?! *slaps head*

Careful Beavie...don't hurt yourself because of
the terrible booking.

Wait....people expected this ppv to be good? Lol. I knew this ppv was going to be terrible just from the card.

Congratulations Reag...

Good for you.

 

[WholeFN'Moe]

wow

...I didn't even watch most of it yet

I usually mark strict too because I don't act all optimistic or give WWE special treatment like most of you sheep but if you people even gave it just 2/10 it must've been a real stinker

Holy I never seen you guys give less then 6... did somebody die?

 

[Snowman1]

What a dumpster fire.

 

[SWL]

like many others already agreed on, Seth vs Miz was basically the only good part about the show and everything else just didn't really matter. None of the other matches were either good nor important. Whether it be pointless tag matches, main events without a title on the line, random filler match endings or just flat out lame ass matches. The Elias thing was well executed, but to me wasn't PPV material, you know? Bad start for their dual branded PPV schedule. 2/10

 

[Chicken McDouble]

rollins/miz was good.
bliss/jax was what it needed to be.
hardy/orton was aight, apart from the rest holds.
bryan/cass was aight, probably didn't like it as much because i really don't like cass.
carmella/charlotte was a thing.
styles/nakamura was a good apart from the finish, i expect joe vs nakamura vs styles at mitb.
strowman/lashley vs zayn/owens was filler mcfiller, it was aight tho.
reigns/joe was questionable.
elias segment was just a clusterfuck, guess it was just to show off 'wahey guys from raw and smackdown'.

idunno/10

After thinking it over: I can see why everyone hates this. From what I saw it went downhill after match one and every time the were hopes of it improving, something hurt it.

The Raw Women's match was just "fine"

US title match was alright, nothing amazing.

The Elias segment was great.

Big Cass Daniel Bryan I personally liked overall, but it wasn't "anything to write home about."

The SD women's match had a weak ending.

WWE Championship should have main evented (except for that ending) and it was getting to be great, possibly contending for Match of the Night, until the finish.

The last two I didn't see, but just Roman having the Main Event, it's basically Cena during Punk's title reign. No wonder people were walking out.

 

[MildlyUpsetGerbil]

Rollins vs. Miz: Amazing match that blows anything from this PPV and the last two out of the water. Only problem I have here is how weak Miz's finishers are. C'mon, can Miz beat anyone with his "finishers"? I'll admit that I'm annoyed here partially because I was cheerleading for Miz during the match and actually thought he had it won after his Skull Crushing Finale.

Jax vs. Bliss: Yawn.

Hardy vs. Orton: Okay, but Hardy did fuck all during this match and really should've got in more offense.

Elias Segment: Good until Dominican Adam Rose got involved. He isn't funny and he never will be.

Big Cass vs. Daniel Bryan: Okay, just too short.

Carmella vs. Charlotte: Charlotte gets pinned off a kick to the leg. Forgive me, folks, but I think it's a wee bit silly for a woman with as many in-ring wins as a paraplegic chicken to walk away triumphantly.

Styles vs. Nakamura: Just take me out back and put a bullet in my goddamn skull already. END THIS FEUD, PLEASE! Ziggler vs. Rusev has more depth than this.

Strowman and Lashley vs. Owens and Zayn: Meh. Could've been interesting if they actually had a tag match instead of Zayn wussing out for five minutes and if Strowman actually wrestled instead of spending every waking moment doing an imitation of a apple tree on the apron.

Reigns vs. Joe: Fun match, funny finish. It looked like Roman tapped out at least three times during the match because of how Roman waves his arms around whenever Joe locks in his submission. Seriously, this dude rapidly taps his forearm five times and the referee doesn't call the match? The finish, of course, is so much worse, and the fact that it happened is just WWE reaffirming its commitment to push Reigns no matter how many times it looks like they won't have him beat Lesnar.

I give the show a 5/10 originally, but I'm dropping that to a 4/10 after collecting my thoughts. Rollins vs. Miz and Reigns vs. Joe were fun. The overall show felt largely pointless, especially after the Greatest Royal Rumble. What really changed here? All titles remained on their champions and Styles/Nakamura and Bryan/Cassidy are continuing.

It pretty much was necessary yes
