Here are the themes changed from the original in the DVD:
-Dudley Boyz
-Rob Van Dam
-Kane
-Ric Flair
-Booker T

Jonathan Coachman aka "The Coach" and Jerry "The King" Lawler do the RAW commentary, while Michael Cole and Tazz cover SmackDown!

Ok these are my feelings and not neccessarily the feelings of everyone in the world.

Backlash 2003 is an extended RAW or SmackDown TV event without the breaks of commercials that you sit watching, but can't wait for it to end. The messed up theme ruins it to a point too. why can't WWE shell out the extra bucks to keep the DVDS straight!? There is no break out match.

Everything from Jazz's way of winning the Women's Title to Rock's pre-match promo and everything inbetween, before, after & all-around, [was bad]!

The new Goldberg music is horrible. Just classic WWE and McMahon trying to put his stamp on everything! The change was not needed. The Rock vs. Goldberg actually wasn't that bad. The theme by "Cold" was [bad]!

Best thing is "The Rock after Backlash" DVD Extra. After Backlash went off the air, you see Rock selling the beating Rock took from Goldberg. He puts over Goldberg and the spear's huge. It takes him forever to get to his feet and even o his feet he's still holding his abdomin.

The pay-per-view was very disappointing. Has to be the worst Backlash to date. The 6 Man Tag was leading nowhere. It seemed to have no point. The character's didn't seem in to it. Just out there to do there cause they were supposed to be. Like a lot of the rest of the matches. Brock vs. Cena was even very disapponting. It reminded me of some of the worst pay-per-views of the wrestle... 1995 era, a bad year for the WWF.

WrestleMania XIX was so awesome. No Way Out was so good too. It had the after RAW return of Stone Cold Steve Austin. And Royal Rumble was good as well. Except TripleH/Steiner. And now Backlash was real ...Bad. Terrible..
While watching it, all I could think of was that I wanted it to end. I hate that the themes are changed too. Don't know what that Booker T ... was.

The DVD is a waste of money. I should return or exchange it, but I need to get the box set I want.

None of the matches had any real build-up, except the Rock vs. Goldberg, which the WWE was obviously building up as the big-time match-up for the card. And Goldberg was built up wrong for it. Rock didn't do even close as good a job building up Goldberg than as he did The Hurricane. He should of been portrayed more as the heel to the crowd than he was.

Bottom Line: Don't waste your money on this ... Put you money to better use like the "From The Vault: Shawn Michaels" DVD.

1. Team Angle vs. Los Guerreros for the wwe tag team titles- This was a good match. At 16 minutes long i think that was a bit to much but with the talent in the ring they kept me on my feet. The ending might have been a little weak but it was still an awsome opener. Good choice. Winners and still wwe tag champs team angle. Match Rating 7.5/10.

2. Rikishi vs. Shawn O here- This was an awful match. The only thing i can say about this was they kept it 4 minutes which was a good choice. One thing i was impressed about was o heres strength. He showed some good skills for his age. Winner Shawn O Here. Match Rating 3/10.

3. Rvd and Kane vs. The dudleys for the world tag titles- This in my opinion was the match of the night. One thing that i liked was there was no really slow spot in the match. This also told a good story line and it was well paced at 13 minutes. Also it was awsome to see the dudleys 3d chief morley. Winners and still world tag champs. Rvd and Kane. Match Rating 8.5/10.

4. Jazz vs. Trish for the womens title- This was an okay womens match. i could not really get into this like the crowd. There was just somthing that did not click. This was a good paced 5 minute match. Winner and new womens champ Jazz. Match Rating 5/10.

5. Rey Mysterio vs. Big Show- This was an okay match. the bigest problem i had with this match was it was 4 minutes. I think this was worthy of at least 20 and we got 4. The good thing about this is it was fast paced and got alot of action in. Some sick after math with mysterio taking a hugh bump. Winner the big show. Match Rating 6.5/10.

6. John Cena vs. Brock Lesner for the wwe title- This was a preatty good title match. i have to give credit to cena for his effort in this match. I think that the wwe could have waited a little bit to give cena a title shot but saying that he did an awsome job in this match. This could have been better but i give both of these guys credit and we even heard some cena chants in the match. Winner and still wwe champ Brock Lesner. match Rating 7.5/10

7. HHH rick flair and Y2J vs. Kevin Nash Booker T and Shawn Michales- This was another good tag match. I think it was very well oaced and flair did a really good job here. Good way to set up the nash HHH fued even though it was an awful fued. I think it was kind of a wierd ending with it ending very quick after a sledgehammer shot. Winners HHH flair and Y2J. Match Rating 7.5/10.

8. Goldberg vs. The rock- This was a wierd match. It was very good but it had something missing. I think it was way to short for a main event that had alot of hype. I think it was a little sloppy but there was alot of action in the match. Could have been alot better. Winner goldberg. Match Rating 7/10.

Well that raps up another. I would give backlash a grade of 52.5/80 which = a 65% which means it is poor. It was brought down by a few matches and it could be a grade of good but it was just short. It was okay but i would find it on vhs. If you can tell me what u thought of my review i would appericate it. You can check out my other reviews by clicking on other reviews below. Thanks for your time.

Backlash was a slight dissapointment following Wrestlmania X1X. allthough it had the dream match involving the rock and goldberg, and both of the tag team matches, this ppv was a complete waste of money.

The match between the guerroes and team angle was fast paced and a good opener besides the cheap win by team angle at the end. However the guerroes get their revenge by stealing the tag titles. 9/10

The match between Big show and rey mysterio. you knew who would win when you saw this on the card. For those of you who thought rey mysterio would win are wishing you didn't take that bet. Shocking ending when rey was on the stretcher. 7/10

Rikishi vs. Sean o' Haire was a joke, it lasted less than 10 minutes. Sean o' Haire has left the wwe {Thank God} and Rikishi is gone too {he dissapeared after wrestlmania 20} 5/10 {this match deserved less, but I'm a nice guy}

John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar sucked too. It was too long and too boring. Lesnar was the biggest loser I ever saw and didnt even last two years in the wwe. John Cena was as annoying as ever, but at least he wasn't screaming yo, yo, yo, yo, yo back then. Lesnar wins. 7/10

The match between the dudleys and Rvd and kane was a good match. I wish kane and Rvd would get back together,they were a good tag team in my opinion. {If you don't like it you can stick it.}Lots of high flying moves and the excitement was overwhelming. 8/10

Trish vs Jazz was bad, especially with theodore long next to the ring. I couldn't believe the ending and what caused it. 6/10

Triple H,Ric Flair,Chris Jericho vs. HBK,Booker T,and Kevin Nash
Now if only this was made a table elimination match, oh well {sigh} This was still a pretty good match. Allthough it was kinda long. Just watch it everyonce in a while. 8/10

The main event was goldberg vs. the rock and even though the crowd was in the rocks corner most of the time Goldberg whips the rock's Candya** throughout the entire match. goldberg is one of my favorite wrestlers and I am still looking forward to him returning. 10/10

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 event
however. 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.

Team Angle vs Los Guerros-Exellent opener for Backlash 2003. These are 2 great tag teams and when you put them together there is always explosions.Los Guerros were on top of team angle for most of the match but Team Angle retain the tag team gold by cheating. 8/10

Rikishi vs Sean O,Haire-Was not a very good match.The match was too short and didn't have much action until Rikishi smashed the coconut on Pipers head.Piper got what he deserved.Somehow O,Haire beat the 400 pounder with pipers destraction. 6/10

Trish vs Jazz-How many times do they want to show this match?This was probably one of their best encounters but I am still sick of seing this match up.Ending was awful when Theodore Long through his shoe at Trish and Jazz took advantage to win the match. 5/10

Rey Mysterio vs Show-The smallest guy on the roster vs the biggest guy on the roster.There was never a way Mysterio could have won even after 3 straight 619's.Ending was terrifying with Big Show catching Mysterio and chokeslamming him from 7 feet high.Okay match better than I expected. 6/10

Kane/RVD vs Dudleys-Great tag team contest.I was impressed RVD and Kane were still able to win after Cheif Morley was always on the Dudleys side.Had some high flying moves from RVD and was very entertaining to watch Cheif Morleys decions. 8/10

Triple H,Flair,Y2J VS Kevin Nash,HBK and Booker T-Brilliant match!!!.Was 20 monutes long and had loads of personal match ups between all six wrestlers.The match was bloody and after it had finished every one was brused and battered.Triple H got the victory for his team by cheating,using the sledgehammer on Kevin Nash. 9.5/10

Lesnar vs John Cena-Great match.Cena was on top for the whole match making Lesnar bleed but Lesnars will to keep the title guided him to victory with the F5.Cena used some great moves and was entertaining and Lesnar played his part well aswell.8/10

The Rock vs Goldberg-Slow paced for most of the match.Neither man was going for the other.Goldberg wins his 1st match in the WWE after a spear and a jackhammer.okay match for the second half of it.Rock should have won though. 7/10

Back lash 2003 was okay.It had some good matches but also had some terrible ones.I think last years Backlash was better.If your a true wrestling fan buy this DVD for the good matches on it. overall rating-57.5/80

Team Angle v. Team Guerrero's WWE Tag Titles- This match started off with some good solid wrestling. Both the Guerrero's and Team Angle had good solid chemistry in this one. Towards the end things were getting hot and the crowd was really into it.. I loved seeing Eddies' "3 amigos" (one of my favorite moves). The end came when Chavo was trying to suplex Haas but Shelton held his feet down for the surprise win. Very good opener for this ppv. Only complaint was it could have went at least 2 minutes longer.. Still it was 15 minutes of action.. But that does not subtract from this match as it did what it needed for the time and definately is worth the watch. Especially towards the end!

Rating- 3.

Rikishi v. Sean O' Haire w/ Piper-

OOC- Their is this annoying fan who keeps doing some odd noise

O.K. During the first portion of this match saw Piper interfering and being a distraction. O' Haire dominates w/ power moves and does a resthold which the crowd is dead right now. The crowd ought of a sudden is looking somewhere else it seems like and is booing, at what, I have no idea... This crowd seems really distracted.. Half paying attention.. Half not.. Weird.. Rikishi avalanches O' Haire in the corner and O' Haire drops.. Crowd erupts.. We know what is next.. Stinkface....NO!. O Haire does a hilarious boot to Rikishi's ass to send him crashing down on his... well.. ass.. Soon after a bit of offense Piper gets in w/ a coconut but ends up getting smashed in the head and Rikishi salutes Snuka.. Turn around.. BOOOOM!! What a move that was!!.. 1..2..3. This match had little that would amaze you.. It goes at a decent pace.. It doesn't get to the point where you can not watch.. It just doesn't offer something that gets you standing on your feet until the last moments with Piper. Still this was an O.K. match.

Rating- 2.

Kane & R.V.D. vs. Dudleys Special Ref- Chief Morley

This match started off with some solid paced quick tagging from Kane and RVD. RVD was at his best in this match. Solid chemistry from Bubba and R.V.D. as well as D-Von and Kane. Towards the end of this match is simply breath taking and it was on spot. After interference by Storm and Morley. RVD hits the frog splash after a Kane chokeslam on Bubba. Excellent match that had a great ending which brought my grade up. As far as the match, it was up there with the opening tag match but the ending brought this from good to great. Some critics hated the interference but it set up the well executed ending and left me breathless.

Rating- 4

Trish v. Jazz Womens title-

This match starts off with the noticeable Womens offense......................... Towards the end Teddy throws a shoe and hits trish.. Teddy blames a fan.. lol. Trish hits Teddy with it.. Jazz eventually rolls Trish for the 3. This actually was a good paced match but lacked variations of wrestling. It wasn't what you called a "womens classic".. But I don't think it was completely terrible. A decent match.. Just not "good".. Mediocre is the better word for this..

Rating- 1

Rey vs. Big Show-

A perfect way to sum this up is David vs. Goliath. Big Show for the most part was throwing Rey around like a plum. Rey came in with some good offense with a 619 to the stomach,leg and head. Eventually he goes for a west coast pop and is countered into a monstrous Chokeslam. You have to see this match.. It was a good David vs. Goliath match. People say its wasting time blah blah.. But I certainly loved this match because it added something besides your basic singles match.. Great "filler", if you want to call it that.. It kept the crowd and me going.. Also, watch after the match when Big show throws the stretcher into the ringpost. Rey hits his head and damn near has a concussion. That got Big show some heat with vince. Good David v. Goliath match

Rating- 3

Brock vs. Cena WWE Title

This match had its up and downs.. There were 3 or 4 botched and messed up spots that were slightly noticeable if you pay attention. John Cena applies a very boring resthold for what seems like 3 minutes in my eyes that brings the grading down a good bit plus the crowd was that much into it except a few "Cena!" chants. It seemed sorta long. Brock gets busted open on his exposed wound Cena busted open on a SD. Cena gets chain taken away by ref and F-5 and its over. I give this o.k. because of a few boring moments and missed spots.. Plus I think it could have been much better.

Rating- 2

HHH, Flair, Jericho vs. Booker T., Nash, Michaels Six man tag

This match was an o.k. match. The crowd sort of hurt this match because they were watching and did not seem too much in crowd response which hurt this match. It wasn't a bad match at all but it could have been better. It seemed a little slow at times but picked up and made up for it. I HATED the end because Nash and Flair nearly botched the finish when Nash through Flair into the red. They seriously messed that up and if you watch it you can tell how corny they did that. HHH nails Nash with sledgy.. I really thought this match could have been better. It rates as o.k.

Rating- 2

Goldbeg v. Rock

This was a split crowd for this match. Half rock, half Goldberg. Rock basically carried this whole match and made Goldberg look really good. I tip my hat to Rock because Goldberg has such a basic offense.. Goldberg served his purpose but I credit Rock for making this match decent. Rock showed off his good acting skills in this match and really got the crowd going and entertained.. I believe that if Rock was not in this match and Goldberg was paired with anyone else... This match would have been a disaster. My complaint is Goldberg favored his injured shoulder too much and seemed a bit slow. He revved it up towards the end and ended this match before it could lose any credibility.. I give this match an o.k. rating.. Because of it being a spot to spot match... Goldberg's lack of creative moves.. It boosts with Rock's entertainment and selling and making Goldberg look good. So it is a main event just because of The Rock.. But I think maybe a better six man tag could have helped out for the two main events.

Rating- 3 (Rock's performance, selling...)

In conclusion- This wasn't like the greatest ppv ever by any means but it was definitely watchable. The only thing I really didn't like was the six man but it picked its pace up. At one time I was going to give it a bad rating especially that finish that I still don't like but it had a bit in the beginning and middle to say it was o.k. Overall, if you're interested in this event I say it is pretty much worth it. I got it and I don't hate that I got it.. So that's definitely a good thing.. For historical purposes it's the first and only time Rock and Goldberg wrestled.. Six man could have been better.. And this ppv offers a way underrated undercard. So I give this ppv an 80 rating meaning it was a good event and worth a buy. It just gets there because of the six man mess. Still, however, I will recommend this and the extras is pretty good.

6/10 Tag Team Titles Los Guerreos vs. Team Angle
Boring Los Guerreos steal the titles when Team Angle actually won!

3/10 Sean O'Haire vs. Rikishi
It is cool to watch Haire left Kishi this match was dumb and short OHaire wins with a death Valley Driver

8/10 Tag Team Championship RVD, Kane vs. Dudley Boyz
Rob Van Dam and Kane rock together they win with a frogspalsh and chokeslam awesome match

2/10 Women's Title Jazz vs. Trish Stratus
Stupid boring skip don't watch!

10/10 Rey Mysterio vs. Big Show
Rey kicks Show's butt in this match until Rey get's chokeslammed so high in the air wow! Then show comes back and destorys him

9/10 WWE Championship John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar
Great match Cena is tough and good wrestler Brock is so good in this match very classic and awesome match

10/10 6 man Tag Team Match Kevin Nash, Booker-T, Shawn Micheals vs. HHH,Y2J,Ric Flair
Wow brutal match Nash returns very good fight from all 6 superstars HHH wins with hitting Nash with the sledgehammer

8/10 The Rock vs. Goldberg
Cool match because they do each other's finishers I thought it was okay

Great DVD I liked it you should get it

slight disappointment to follow wrestlemania. i understand a lot of the stars were injured, but could have done better. no angle,austin, edge, benoit,undertaker or hogan. dvd extras are good especially rock after ppv went off the air.

team angle vs guerreros 7/10- good match with suprise afterwards
o' haire vs rikishi 3/10- should have been better buildup especially with piper involved. rikishi looks fatter.
van dam & kane vs dudleys 9/10- best match of backlash. great ending. this match stole the show.
trish vs jazz 4/10- not the best of these two. good to see teddy long back. great character
show vs mysterio 5/10- would have been lower if not for post match shocker. show proves nothing here beating up guy half his size. 5'3 vs 7'? give me a break. rey could have ended his career prematurely
lesnar vs cena 8/10- thought this would be a squash. really impressed with cena's performance. has a future in wwe.
tripple hhh, jericho & flair vs michaels, nash & booker 6/10- should have been a lot better. nash shows ring rust. flair is shell of his once great shelf. booker really shines in this match after wrestlemania disappointment.
rock vs goldberg 5/10- this is a main event? didn't have feel of one. goldberg looks rusty after 2 yr layoff. rock holds back. for the hype , i was very disappointed. this match should have been held until summerslam, giving goldberg time to get back in sync.

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.
