This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Matylda Swan
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Now I do reckon Samckdown is better than Raw, & this PPV was not really bad but except one match. I mean come on, who would be so crazy enough to challenge God to a match. Raw should get fined for that.FIRST MATCH- CARLITO VS. CHRIS MASTERS Okay match to start the show with, both these two superstars prove that they can put an okay match. Carlito wins after a Backcracker, followed by a pin using the ropes. 5/10SECOND MATCH- UMAGA W/ ARMANDO ELJANDRO ESTRADA VS. RIC FLAIR Before the match, Armando Eljandro Estrada introduces Umaga to the ring. Ric Flair has been in this business for so long, & he gets squashed like this. Umaga wins after a Samoan Spike. 3/10THIRD MATCH- MICKIE JAMES VS. TRISH STRATUS FOR THE WWE WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP I've got to say that I am quite a bit disappointed in this match, their Wrestlemania 22 encounter was way, way better. Trish lands bad on her hand on the apron. Mickie James gets disqualified after choking Trish with handcuffs. 3/10FOURTH MATCH- ROB VAN DAM VS. SHELTON BENJAMIN IN A WWE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP VS. MONEY IN THE BANK BRIEFCASE WINNER TAKES ALL MATCH This is what wrestling is all about. Great athletics & acrobatics by both men, especially Shelton Benjamin. The referee gets knocked down, so Benjamin tries to nail RVD with the briefcase, but RVD nails a kick with the briefcase on Benjamin, followed by the Five Star Frog Splash for the win, not only to keep his Money In The Bank briefcase, but also to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship as well. 5/10FIFTH MATCH- BIG SHOW VS. KANE Boring big man vs. big man match. These two are better as partners rather than opponents, a bad match. During the match, a May 19 voice starts saying May 19 has come which drives Kane really crazy. Big Show nails Kane with a steel chair, then leaves to the back as the match ends in a no contest. 3/10SIXTH MATCH- VINCE & SHANE MCMAHON VS. SHAWN MICHAELS & 'GOD' You know what, I'm not even going to comment on this match at all. Vince McMahon should be sent off TV & fired. If this was a Handicap match, I would off gave it 5/10, but involving dear 'God', Vince you really have done something crazy big time. 0/10SEVENTH MATCH- JOHN CENA VS. TRIPLE H VS. EDGE W/ LITA IN A TRIPLE-THREAT MATCH FOR THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP An acceptable main event, HHH being busted open really badly makes the match a bit more interesting. John Cena overcomes the odds & gets a Jacknife roll-up on HHH for the win & to retain his WWE Championship. After the match, HHH goes berserk & attacks Cena, Edge & the referee with a sledgehammer, before leaving the back as the PPV goes off the air. 5/10An okay event, with some matches being great, then others being pretty boring & sloppy. But the biggest death nail in this PPV is The McMahon-Shawn match, I mean challenging 'God' to a match, not even the craziest man on Earth will do that. But overall it was an okay event, with last year's Backlash event being way better.Overall I'll give it 6/10 & a C

(Whats the point in me telling you the ending)My girlfriends uncle gave this PPV to me as a gift. He told me it was good. When i watched it, I was a bit insulted. At the time i thought it was a mean joke or something. But i was very polite and thanked him any way :)Criss Masters VS Carlito.The starting match was Carlito vs Criss Masters. The Match was OK. A good start to the show. There was only one good move when carlito jumped from the rope.. 5/10Umaga VS Rickflair.Pointless feud. The match was alright. Kinda sad to see rick flair to be beaten up like that. Thats all that really happened. Rick flair being beaten up, Flair didn't stand and chance. Besides the odd slap or low blow. It was a really fast match. But it wasn't to bad. 6/10Trish vs Mickie JamesIt was a OK match, Not much happened. I was looking forward to seeing what would happen after WM. The match ended after she injured herself (inreal life) But i didn't care. The match wasn't that great. 3/10 Poor Trish lol :(RVD vs Shelton BenjaminI love RVD. It was a good match but it took to long to get started. The match started really slow. There were a few good moves. A good match. 7/10Kane vs Big Show I thought the feud was funny. Kane attacking big show over a silly thing about the date may 19th. Big show had a small cut over his eye, And said 'Tonight will be an eye for and eye. Haha. The match was stupid. They acted like idiots. (pains me to say that about such kick ass wrestlers) The room went red and a magic voice started say may 19th. Kane started crying and big show put him out of his pain bye knocking him out with a chair... It was really short. 1/10The McMahons vs HBK and god.... I don't care about the match. The fact the Mcmahon was talking to god in front of the fans was just stupid. I was getting very tired of this PPV. I was not offended bye this match.. It was just stupid. No wonder there's a stereotype that wrestling is for kids. 2/10Edge vs. Cena vs. HHHI must say that the DVD was not running well but from what i saw it looked like a pretty cool match. Nice and bloody, The out come made every edge/cena/HHH fan happy. 7/10This was a rushed PPV just after Wresltemainia.

This PPV didn't disappoint me. In fact, I was very pleased with it. The only bad thing was that Vince McMahon booked himself and his son Shane in a fight against HBK and GOD almighty which I found offensive. Now let me say a few words about the matches on the card:Match #1 - Carlito vs Chris Masters - I really liked the feud that developed between this two young athletes in the past couple of weeks. Some funny promos took place on RAw in that time. The match was really good. Carlito's head took a big bump after he hit a corner pad with his head when Masters performed a powerbomb like move, but it didn't stop Carlito to win this match. He used a backcracker to put down Masters and used his feet on the ropes for leverage for the victory. I've got a feeling that Carlito might be the new 'Dirtiest player in the game'. Crowd loves him even when he does illegal moves. Anyway a really good opener. 7/10Match #2 - Umaga vs Ric Flair - this was basically a squash match where Ric Flair jobbed like never before. In under 4 minutes he falls victim to Umaga who stays undefeated (although in 2002/03 under gimmick of Jamal he got beat on many occasions - but I guess new character means new person ... oh well). I was really sorry to see Nature Boy get beat like this. Maybe it's a sign of his retirement closing. 2/10Match #3 - Mickie James vs Trish Stratus (women championship) - unfortunately it is hard to judge this match because in the opening minutes Trish dislocated her right shoulder and I'm not sure that Trish winning by DQ was supposed to be the ending of this match. Anyway I rate it 5/10 because they are WWE divas - most beautiful women in the world and I have no heart to give them a lower grade.Match #4 - Shelton Benjamin vs Rob Van Dam (intercontintental championship/ Money in the Bank) - both MITB briefcase and intercontinental championship were on the line - after 18 minutes of a great battle RVD hits his Van Daminator to send briefcase right into Shelton's head which he followed by a beautiful 5 star frog splash. Winner and the new Intercontinental champion Rob Van Dam. 9/10Match #5 - Big Show vs Kane - this match went to a no contest because WWE is promoting a movie starring Kane so now Kane hears some voices in his head telling him about May 19th and something that happened on that date. Voices came over the loudspeakers and the lights in the arena went red - Kane fell on the ground holding his head trying to stop the voices - Big Show took a chair and hit Kane in the head with it to 'put him out of his misery' and then walked out. 3/10Match #6 - Vince McMahon & Shane McMahon vs Shawn Michaels & GOD (no holds barred match) - Vince changed the stipulation of the match to 'no holds barred right before it started. Although I hate this mocking of GOD the match had some nice spots - after ramming Shane's head into Backlash sign Shawn used crossbody to take himself and Vince to fall down to a lower meters. Although they landed on soft spot it was very nice because they fell down from some 5 meters of height. (I know it's no fall from the top of the cell but still...). In the end HBK laid out both Vince and Shane down in the ring and set up 20 foot ladder trying to perform the same thing he did at Wrestlemania 22 but unfortunately all 5 members of the Spirit Squad came out and beat on Shawn and slammed him through the table allowing Vince to cover HBK for the win. A very nice match 8/10Match #7 - John Cena vs Edge vs Triple H (WWE championship triple threat) - this was an awesome and brutal match - The first highlight of this match was Cena hoisting up both men on his shoulders at the same time for F-U but he couldn't connect. After that Edge performed his impaler DDT on Triple H on the Spanish announce table (always Spanish ...) and then rammed his head into the steel post which busted HHH open. HHH retaliated with a massive chair shot. Then he went to the ring to attack Cena but he retaliated with the STF-U submission hold but HHH got to the ropes. Cena then tried to use the same submission maneuver on Edge but before he tapped, Triple H stopped his hand and then whacked Cena with the microphone. After some recuperating Cena tried to perform his F-U finisher on Edge on the top rope but HHH came underneath Cena and took both of them down. He then tried to perform Pedigree but Cena reversed it into the jack-knife pin for the victory. Winner and still WWE champion John Cena. A great match 9/10Aftermath - HHH couldn't bear with the fact that he lost so he whacked both Edge and Cena with sledgehammer to finish of this PPV.

This Backlash had so many good points and bad points that it is difficult to sum up.Poor Trish Stratus separated her shoulder in the match with Mickie James and this storyline with James fancying Trish is so out of date. The usage of 'God' in a match is in poor taste and McMahon should not present God as a joke, ie Shane drinking water then it turns to wine is so pathetic for a wrestling organisation.Results from Backlash which was held in Lexington Kentucky are as follows: Carlito defeated Chris Masters with his feet on the ropes. Mickie James defeated Trish Stratus via DQ to retain the Women's title. The Big Show and Kane went to a no contest. Rob Van Dam beat Shelton Benjamin in a thrilling match to win the Intercontinental Championship. Vince McMahon and Shane McMahon defeated Shawn Michaels with help from the Spirit Squad. Umaga defeated Ric Flair in a crap squash. John Cena retained the WWE Championship against Edge and Triple H. After the match Tripper pounded them both with the sledge hammer much to the delight of the crowd! Overall Grade - B-
