3.0 out of 5 stars 4.5's, 5's? Backlash 2000 Was Average at best..., February 9, 2003

By 

Ben "Wiseguy" Janu (Cloud City, MN USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: WWF: Backlash 2000 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Well, since WWE has kicked the 'F' out of their name and introducing more wrestling to the shows and outstanding matches on PPV. I have come back to watch Backlash 2000 and found it very interesting that everyone was giving this show a 4 rating and higher. This is a pay per view that was basically all focused on the main event and the return of Austin (which was planned real nicely, I should add) and the undercard was filled with lackluster non-rocketbuster match-ups. Please do not look at the other reviews from the past because my review is in 2003 and I have since then seen much better PPV's and matches that would blow this out of the water.

1. WWF Tag Team Title Match - Edge & Christian vs. Road Dogg & X-Pac with Tori. This match was fairly good but these are nowhere comparable to the matches I see on Smackdown every week with Los Guerreros and Team Angle, not to mention Edge and Christians other infamous matches involving Tables, Ladders, and Chairs. Debra comes out first and does the ring introductions, why? Have no damn clue, I guess it was just a way to show her beautiful puppies, which by the way looked great tonight overshadowed by her whole great outfit - Nevertheless, Debra looked HOT tonight! Anyway, lucky her looks were up to par because her ringside introductions were not. She has an annoying voice that didn't help her introduce these men, something that WWE found out with Stacey Keibler when she was used as the ring introducer for when WCW was used in the main event of Raw - Remember? Booker T vs. Buff Bagwell - UGH!... Anyway, back to the match, X-Pac looks great here tonight, this was before he just quit trying to impress and entertain the audience. I give the match a 3/5.

2. WWF Light Heavyweight Title Match: Dean Malenko vs. Scotty Too Hotty. Before ECW went bankrupt, Before WCW was sold, Before the Invasion, Before Tajiri, Rey Mysterio, Billy Kidman, Shannon Moore, Chavo Guerrero, Before the Cruiserweight Division would kick-started and the Light heavyweight Division was revamped, This match was said to have been the best WWF Light Heavyweight Championship match. Well, knowing this and that Stone Cold returned on this night, along with the Chris Benoit vs. Chris Jericho match - I Bought the video. These 3 reasons I bought this damn event on WWF Home Video. This match was... Horrid and I am ashamed at everyone who thought this match was great. This match was so below par to what NWA: TNA is doing with the X-Division, what WCW did with their Cruiserweight Division and even what WWE is doing with their Cruiserweight Division, now. Dean Malenko, "A Man of a Thousand Moves", couldn't even carry Scotty 2 Hotty to a half-way decent match. This is a cruiserweight match that consisted of 3 cruiserweight moves - A Variation Arm Drag - Done right away to start the match. 2. A Tiger Driver - Done by Dean Malenko half-way threw the match. 3. A Top Rope DDT to finish the match. Dean Malenko put on some incredible matches with Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero, not to mention his great matches with Rey Mysterio, jr. Doesn't make any sense to me. 2/5.

3. Big Boss Man & Bull Buchanan vs. Acolytes. On the VHS, this match is billed as the first match of the evening. Well, it's actually the third match on the tape. Read who's in the match. Argh - Ditto. 1.5/5

4. WWF Hardcore Title Match: Champion Crash Holly vs. Tazz vs. Perry Saturn vs. Hardcore Holly vs. Hardy Boyz. Thank God for this match, this was a very fun and entertaining Hardcore Title match, of course this title is no longer apart of the WWE anymore, along with the Light Heavyweight Title, European Championship and Intercontinental Championship but this match was still great. It's sad seeing one of the best Champions ever, Taz(z), being downgraded a few weeks into his WWF mainstay. 3.5/5

5. "The Showster" Big Show vs. Kurt Angle. The Big Show is pretty hilarious in this match and the fans were totally into it too. Big Show looked rediculous but sounded just like Hogan! =========
Crowd Participation = 4/5
Match Grade = DUD/5
Entertainment Value = Priceless
=========

6. T&A with Trish Stratus vs. Dudley Boyz. WOW is Trish Stratus hot! OK match with a great ending - WOOD! 2.5/5.

7. WWF European Title Match: Eddie Guerrero with Chyna vs. Essa Rios with Lita. This match is great and this SHOULD have been the Light Heavyweight Title match because it was some great high-flying action. Essa Rios takes a big Asai Moonsault to the outside and lands on the announcers table - Ouch! Chyna and Lita get involved - sorta. Chyna dominates like a man she wants not to be but still acts like one. Two weak punches by her to make Essa Rios go down twice. 4/5.

8. WWF Intercontinental Title Match: Chris Benoit vs. Chris Jericho. Great match here but a bad ending to the match. Very hard chops during the course of the match but for some reason I think both were holding back because they could have done much better with the ability they both posses. 4/5.

9. WWF Championship Match: Champion Triple H with Vince & Stephanie McMahon vs. The Rock with Steve Austin. Special Referee: Shane McMahon. One of the greatest booked main events of all time. Match told a hell of a story with Vince, Shane, The Stooges, Stephanie and Trips trying to cheat Rock out of the title win and get Triple H to stay Champion. Well, just when the ending seems near, Austins music hits - Place erupts - and he comes out and turns the tide. Great match and booking. 4.5/5 - 0.5 for the return of Austin.

All in all a good ppv but not even that great. I would rent it and take 2 VCRS and copy it. I don't recommed it to be bought for a rediculous price of 15+ dollars.

This PPV was all that you expect from the WWF! None of the matches were bad. The best ones were the Scotty2Hotty/Malenko match, the Dudley Boys/TnA match,Esse Rios/Eddie Guerrero match and the Rock/HHH match. Great PPV11 Buy it if you like to watch the WWF at its best.

By A Customer

This review is from: WWF: Backlash 2000 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I was there live and it was the best show I've ever seen! [...]there was no Foley/Rock Hell In the cell match or any HBK or othernonsense. Here were the matches with my ratings:

Xpac/Roadogg vs. Edge and Christian: Hot opener, good match ***1/4 Scotty 2 Hotty vs. Dean Malenko: Great Technical match **** Acolytes vs. Buchanan/Bossman: Only weak match 1/2* Hardcore Invitational: Hardys, Hollys, Saturn,Taz: Wild match, fun spots **3/4 Big Show vs. Kurt Angle: If you don't know what Big Show does then I wont ruin it, if you do you know that this was one of the funniest things ever! Match was nothing but great parody 1/4* T&A vs. Dudleys: Ok tag match, but the table spot at the end was great **1/2 Essa Rios vs. Eddy Guerrero: High Flying madness! fun match ***3/4 Chris Jericho vs. Chris Benoit: Instant Classic from these 2, ending was weak though ****1/4 Rock vs. HHH: These 2 went all out to put on an entertaining match (plus the return of Steve austin! ) ***1/4

Buy the tape!
