WWE Backlash 2006

R. Marsiglia | New Jersey, USA | 05/04/2006

(3 out of 5 stars)

"For starters, this was an average ppv with matches rating from bad to excellent.

1. Chris Masters vs. Carlito

Very good opener believe it or not, and the crowd was hot for most of the match. Only a few moments of boredom when Masters was dominating, other than that no complaints here. Definatly worth a look. ***

2. Ric Flair vs. Umaga

Total squash, match only lasts about 3 minutes. DUD

3. Women's Championship Match: Mickie James (c) vs. Trish Stratus

Started off good, but ended abruptly by disqualification at about the 4 minute mark. Definitely not as good as their wrestlemania match, and was overall a very subpar match. 1/2*

4. Winner Take All Match: Shelton Benjamin (IC champ) vs. Rob Van Dam (Money in the Bank Holder)

This was an excellent match with a lot of back and forth action and innovative moves by both men. The right man definitely wins here, great effort by both men. ***3/4

5. The Big Show vs. Kane

Terrible match here, but nobody expected any different. 1/2*

6. No Holds Barred Match: Vince McMahon and Shane McMahon vs. Shawn Michaels and "God"

A very entertaining match actually that even had some better spots than their wrestlemania match. However the ending annoyed me, with the unbearable spirit squad interfearing once again, which slowed the match down considerably. Not as good as their wrestlemania match, however very entertaining none-the-less with some nice spots. I'll leave the god appearence up to the viewer to watch, and I won't give it away. ***1/4

7. WWE Championship Triple Threat Match: John Cena (c) vs. Triple H vs. Edge

I must say this match took me by suprise, I had a feeling it would be decent but not this good. This match had an excellent pace and the crowd was into it. Very good performances by all 3 men, even Cena (suprisingly). Even though the ending pissed me off considerably, this was still a fantastic match, and the match of the night no questions asked. ****1/4

Overall this Backlash was good, but the problem is half of the show was excellent and the other half is garbage. Once again, Cena wins leaving a bad taste in my mouth as I think the WWE has used him horribly, which shows considering how horrible he is. I am beginning to wonder if they are ever going to take the title away from him, and for my sake and hopefully every fan of the WWE's sake, that day will come soon. He he is the most undeserving candidate for a title reign lasting this long and there are plenty of wrestlers out there who deserve it more.

An event that didn't quite live up to its potential

"Backlash events usually deal with the end of feuds that didn't quite finish at Wrestlemania. That was the case here. A lot of these matches look like they could be really good, but they don't quite live up to their potential.

THE EVENT

* Carlito vs. Chris Masters

* Ric Flair vs. Umaga

* Vince performs miracles in his office

* Women's Title: Mickie James (c) vs. Trish Stratus. Match ends early due to Trish suffering an injury

* Interview with HBK

* Money in the Bank/IC Title: Rob Van Dam vs. Shelton Benjamin (c)

* Big Show vs. Kane

* Vince cures Candice

* Shawn Michaels & "God" vs. Vince & Shane McMahon

* Interview with Cena

* Eugene hassles Matt Striker

* WWE Title: John Cena (c) vs. Triple H vs. Edge

EXTRA

* Raw 4/10 - Vince & Shane visit church

* Triple H post match interview

* Joey & RVD talk backstage

* Raw 5/1 - Spirit Squad hassle Joey

* Raw 5/1 - Lawler smacks Joey

* Raw 5/1 - Joey quits. Great "shoot" comments. Lots of real feeling coming out!

HBK continues to entertain in his match, despite the lame "God" story that Vince had going. The main event is enjoyable and Edge shows potential to be a great main eventer if given the chance."

Yes vince actually puts God on the card.

fantastic match where HBK is close to his best

7) Edge vs john cena vs HHH(WWE Championship) 10/10

All 3 men work perfectly together and the finish is a huge shock

"

Good Single-Brand PPV.

Will | Raleigh, NC | 07/20/2006

"I recently purchased Backlash 2006, expecting an average WWE PPV. Well, that's what I got. Backlash 2006 consisted of a few really good matches, and some mediocre matches.

Carlito vs Chris Masters

This match showed off the developing talent in these two uprising superstars. I believe Carlito is one of the finer wrestlers in the company, with his many creative moves. And Chris Masters has a lot of ability, but is still a rookie in the ring. The match itself, though, had a good build-up and delivered. A very good opener, Carlito wins. 3.5/5 stars.

Umaga vs Ric Flair

This match was basically made to put Umaga over big time. Ric Flair has some offense in the beggining, but Umaga takes over. Umaga puts all of his signiture moves on the Nature Boy then finishes him off with the Somoan Spike. A semi-squash. 2/5 stars.

Mickie James vs Trish Stratus

From the beggining of the match, this was looking to be one of the best diva matches I have seen in a while. Unfortunatly, Trish Stratus dislocates her shoulder after a fall out of the ring. Both Mickie James and Trish Stratus have tons of talent, and this match was good while it lasted. Mickie James realized she is hurt and ends it with a disqualification. Mickie James covered up for the butchered end of the match the best she could. 2.5/5 stars

Rob Van Dam vs Shelton Benjamin

This match shows off all of the talent in both of these superstars. One of, if not the best match of the night. I think it's the best match of Shelton Benjamin's carreer. Rob Van Dam also puts on a incredible performance. In the beggining there are some very creative reversals, and some hard-hitting moves. One of these outstanding moves includes a Shelton flipping over RVD's head to the outside of the ring, then powerbombing him to the outside. The match was ecxellent, WWE should definatly realize what talent Benjamin has and give him a big push. RVD wins. 4.5/5 stars

Big Show vs Kane

A big dissapointment. These two athletes could put on a great big-man's match, yet they put on a snore-fest. There are hardly any spots in this match worth watching, and the voices "in Kane's head" got annoying after five minutes. Ends in a no contest after Big Show puts Kane out of his misery with a chair shot. 2/5 stars

HBK vs The McMahon

For some reason, I was expecting more out of this match. Maybe it was because the Wrestlemania confrontation between the HBK and Mr McMahon was so good. But don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the match. Before the match Mr McMahon invites God down to the ring, then declares that it will be a No Holds Barred Match. One of the better matches of the night. In the beggining, Shane and Shawn battle up the rampway, and Shawn even does a flying-cross body into Mr McMahon off the stage! Definatly the better part of the match occurs in the beggining. After a while the action gets in the ring where Shane puts a beating on Shawn for while. When Shawn is down and out, Mr McMahon insists that he should tag into the ring. So he does. Eventually, Shawn comes back and sweet chin musics both McMahons . Shawn sets up the onto two tables, and takes out the 20 foot ladder, but the Spirit Squad interferes. The Spirit Squad flings Shawn onto a table, and Mr McMahon pins Micheals for the victory. Pretty good match. 3.5/5 stars.

John Cena vs Triple H vs Edge

Very good main event, met my expectations. I loved the build up to the match, how all superstars got a victory over one another. The match is a farly long one, as it should be. One of the funnier parts of the match is when Triple H and John Cena actually team up for a minute to continuosly bash Edge's head into an announce table. At one point in the match, Triple H gets busted open pretty bad. There are some good spots with involving all three superstars during the match. John Cena ends up winning with a suprise roll-up pin on Triple H. After the match, Triple H takes out his frustration by delivering Sledge Hammer shots to the Referee, John Cena, and Edge. A great main event and triple threat match. 4.5/5 stars

Overall, a good single-brand PPV. This should how all single-brand PPV's are. I give Backlash 2006 an average 3.5/5 stars."
