BACKLASH 2024 Thread

[ChristmasFnatic]

About to start in 5 minutes.

What I dislike about Backlask/PPVs(PLEs) right after WM is that most are rematches or most title defenses will be retained. But oh well, we shall see.

[Dave22reborn]

So many top wrestlers are unfortunately injured right now.

I just got back into wrestling like watching it since like the early 2000’s(started following when the new WWE game came out). Saw Wrestlemania and watching backlash now. Been watching RAW and Smackdown too.

Randy Orton has had a great character change from way back. Love me some Cody Rhodes too. I didn’t hate Roman Reigns/don’t hate but I HATE the bloodline. I get the lore but meh. The Rock being a heel is legit though. I was legit pissed at him after WM and I like him as an actor, pretty damn good job he did.

Tiffany would be a smoke, but I’m not a fan of her makeup/how she does it. Banging body though.


That was an amazing open match. Sucks how it ended, but I kinda expected that type of thing out of them, it’s kinda that factions go to

[ChristmasFnatic]

Damn, the French crowd is insane. Like when I watched GNR last year, totally crazy. WWE is going to Berlin soon as well, Germans are more tame in concerts, so we shall see.

Crazy reaction even for mid-eventer Jey Uso.

Ya. It’s pretty impressive.

When Cody comes out it’ll probably sound like a GNR/rock concert with everyone singing his entrance theme

[Deathstroke]

Happy Bianca and Cargill are the champions

Dave Meltzer has called Tiffany the next breakout star adding she has potential to be the greatest US women’s wrestler ever.

After giving 10 5star rating to 20 AEW women matches?

Jade Cargill sucks so bad. She has no business being paid and on TV as a professional wrestler. She's slow, she can't emote, she can't bump or sell, she can't promo. You could find any random tall girl give her some var and a wig and have a whole army of Jade Cargills. The only cool thing she did was Kairi flipping all around her while she stood there.

The French crowd was alive, but they got annoying after a while.
The first match and last match were good, but the card was so predictable it was hard to really be excited about much of it. A huge step down from last year's BAcklash in Puerto Rico, which was a really fun show and one of the best shows ever.

[JustiNtense]

Cody is like a make a wish kid lmao. Look guys i’m a champion. How do I hold this belt??

Also Jey is cringe as hell. His entire personality revolves around the yeet stuff. And he throws super kicks like punches and should not ever be doing a spear.


Tiffany Stratton is absolute hnggg. Would eat her ass after an hour long wrestling match.

Let her beat the ozempic women’s champ with the obnoxious accent they thinks she’s a man.

[WetCoaster]

The Owens / Orton tag match was pretty good. The rest was blah

Jade Cargill makes no sense whatsoever as a face.

Think about it, are we supposed to applaud her for beating up a couple of Asian women the size of schoolgirls when she's the size of Chyna?

Women's wrestling is strangely booked, it'd be like Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior beating Kai en Tai and asking the audience to be impressed, I don't get it.

Cargill should be a heel, a big dumb brute that the smaller more talented workers can get over by working rings around.

[BigElephant]

They need to bury that fukking Bloodline spot where someone grabs the referee's feet and drags him out of counting the cover, they've done it so many times.

Haven't watched full PPV yet just heard about that spot though.

[LinuxJon]

Seriously, does WWE need more Samoan wrestlers? Half the roster is related to The Rock now.

[squat_blaster]

Worth watching replay or nah?

I have PPV fatigue and no desire to watch especially after reading about the women’s botchfests.

i thought cody and styles put on a clinic. that's worth watching.

Cody actually was getting pretty heated like KO during his match. I like Cody but I saw glimpses of them potentially being able to turn him heel. Well the potential. I don’t think they should or will but I loved seeing him ramped. I think if he can take some of that arrogance from his Dashing days and blend it with American Nightmare, he’d probably appeal more for the people who think he’s too much of a good guy. I’d love it.

I thought the RKO match to open was worth a watch too

First and last match were very good. The rest, you can just watch while doing something else. Still decent though for a PPV since just a few matches, and the crowd is what also made it good.

They are from Tonga....Hakus sons.

They are setting up the Usos and Reigns vs them

Those two nobodies are so fortunate to have blood relation. They wouldn’t be signed on if it wasn’t to get a bloodline rivalry. They’ll be dropped in a few months and facing Alberto del rio in no time.

[JustiNtense]

Guerillas of Destiny have been a popular tag team in New Japan for like a decade now lol

These guys are nobody’s here. This is the big leagues where Hornswoggle used to run circles around.

[daysoftheweek]

hornswoggle was thankfully eaten whole by asian nightmare.
