BRM Reviews WWF Backlash 2000

[Big Red Machine]

WWF Backlash 2000 (4/30/2000)- Washington D.C.

WWF WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: Edge & Christian(c) vs. D-Generation X (Road Dogg & X-Pac) (w/Tori)- 6/10. Good opener

WWF LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH: Dean Malenko(c) vs. Scottie 2 Hottie- 8/10. Awesome match. Great wrestling and a SICK finish!

THE APA vs. THE BIG BOSSMAN & BULL BUCHANAN- 4.75/10

WWF HARDCORE TITLE MATCH IN WHICH YOU MUST PIN OR SUBMIT THE CHAMPION TO WIN THE MATCH: Crash Holly(c) vs. Matt Hardy vs. Jeff Hardy vs. Tazz vs. Hardcore Holly vs. Perry Saturn- 6.25/10. Good storytelling here.

KURT ANGLE vs. THE BIG SHOW- no rating. Oodles of fun. Hulk Showgan was over HUGE!

THE DUDLEY BOYZ vs. T & A (w/Trish Stratus)- 6.5/10. Very good match and I absolutely LOVED the finish. Good aftermath, too. Also, this match might well contain the single most hilariously lame and goofy Jerry Lawler content of all-time. “Don’t mention books around Bubba Ray. He might put you through the table of contents.

WWF EUROPEAN TITLE MATCH: Eddie Guerrero(c) (w/Chyna) vs. Essa Rios (w/Lita)- 6.5/10

WWF INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE MATCH: Chris Benoit(c) vs. Chris Jericho- 7/10. Good match. Dumb finish. The aftermath was eh.

WWF TITLE MATCH WITH SHANE MCMAHON AS THE SPECIAL GUEST REFEREE: Triple H(c) (w/Vince McMahon & Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley) vs. The Rock- 8/10. The overbooking worked well. Hearing the glass shatter for Austin's entrance music, then hearing that pop... WOW!

Overall, a GREAT show from WWF
