BLAH

Opening Montage: The crowd chants "Hogan", and we see Hogan in various states of hulk-up while Hogan speaks: "This year at WrestleMania, the crowd was unbelievable. The moment I got in the ring with The Rock, I felt Hulkamania, brother. He won the match, I won my fans back, but the Rock became a pure-bred Hulkamaniac."

Now we see Triple H in various states of intenseness, while he speaks: "I always wished I could prove what I had against the immortal Hulk Hogan. I'm honored to get in the ring with him but I'm also a little bit sad, becuase I've got to take a bit of my childhood, and I've gotta destroy it." - the end of this is said while we're shown H and Hogan posing together.

Hogan: "Tonight at Backlash, has now become the host important night of my life. The Undisputed WWF Championship represents everything that I've worked for. The Undisputed WWF Championship represents the fact that Hulkamania wasn't a dream."
H: "In this business, there is only one goal - and that is to be the best. I will stop at nothing to make sure that I remain the Undisputed World Wrestling Federation Champion."

Hogan: "The Undisputed WWF Heavyweight Championship shows that Hulk Hogan is the man that is the best at his game - past, future or present."

H: "You talk about the icon, and all the things that come along with it - well that was then; this is now."

Hogan: "I need that belt to etch my legacy in stone - yes, I am the greatest, yes, I am the Babe Ruth of the WWF"

H: "Right now, right here, tonight, there is nobody bigger, there is nobody higher, than Triple H."

Hogan: "I need that belt more than life itself at this point."

H: "Getting to WrestleMania and proving that I could be everything that I once was - the greatest thing ever. I will not let that be for nothing."

Castrol GTX , Plenty O' Pyro and Creed inform us that we are LIVE from the Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Missouri! JR soothes my fears by saysing that this is a "potentially history-making night in the World Wrestling Federation"! I was beginning to think that PPV's were just another show! Whew! The fans at WWF New York are pumped as usual! I wanna see a camera in that place at 3:30pm on a Wednesday! Will it STILL be like that?

Tajiri tells Torrie to get out of the ring. Michael Cole's at ringside for an interview, and we get lots of Japanese Words Which I Don't Understand from Tajiri. Y'know, he REALLY needs to speak English, even if it is kinda fun to wait until somebody on the 'Net translates what he said. There's another replay of the mist. GREAT stuff, and the crowd really got into it - a very encouraging sign.

Meanwhile, Bradshaw warms up when Farrooq joins him - the two embrace and say how much they've missed each other. Suddenly, the nWo music starts. They talk about how the APA office got trashed - Farroq tells him to make sure that doesn't happen again. Bradhaw heads out as the screen goes black and white and we're rollin' rollin' rollin' rollin' right into Scott Halls' entrance.

SCOTT HALL (accompanied by Kane-mask-wearing X-Pac - representing the nWo - 275 pounds)
vs.
BRADSHAW (Sweetwater, Texas - 292 pounds)


X-Pac's in the ring for some reason - he removes the Kane mask - now he and Hall have Bradshaw semi-surrounded, but the APA music starts up and Faarooq comes down to ringside. He slides in, embraces with with Bradshaw, who looks very happy that he's there. Crowd chants for the APA and there's the bell!

Hall toothpicks Bradshaw and think it's funnier than Robin Williams on speed, but gets a big right for his efforts. Forearm, chop, right, right, right floors Hall. Head into the corner, knee, club to the back, forearm, Irish whip reversed, Hall drops his head and gets another forearm to the back. Right, DDT. Cover, 1, 2, no. "X-Pac sucks" chant.

But meanwhile, Hall nails Bradshaw from behind with a low blow! Rolls him up - he's got the tights! 1, 2, 3! (5:44) Bradshaw is MAD while Hall checks his teeth and asks the ref "I won?" X-Pac winces in pain but raises Hall's arm in victory. Faarooq consoles Bradshaw. Here's a replay of the finish.

Here's the Obligatory Outside Shot of the Kemper Arena - hey, that's a pretty nice building.

Here's Vince McMahon and he's WADDLING! In fact, he waddles right into Ric Flair's office and tells Flair a) how impressive the nWo is, and b) he's beginning to like his style of ownership. "What I mean by that is that now that you're an owner, you're really beginning to see what it's like to be an owner. No mater what you do for your employees, it's never enough. They're just a bunch of ungrateful people. Not only that, they question everything that you do, they question your integrity Ric - that's gotta be gettin' to ya. And, they're very distrustful of you. So, what I'm saying Ric is you're beginning to feel the heat as an owner. And now what've you done? you've placed yourself between a rock and a hard spot. I don't get it. You've named yourself the guest referee in the Austin/Undertaker #1 Contender's match. Now either you're a fool...." Flair looks at Arn Anderson and rolls his eyes a bit at that. "....or maybe this is a stroke of brilliance on your port. I don't know yet. But I want you to know - I'm beginning to relate to ya." "You can't relate to me. You haven't got a clue who I am. You've never known who I am and you never will! One thing for sure, I'll never be like Vince McMahon." "Well, maybe not, but...you can try," Vince offers the Hand of Friendship - Flair declines. "Never".

WWF Women's Championship Match
TRISH STRATUS (Challenger, Toronto, Ontario, Canada)
vs.
JAZZ (Champion - not sure where she's from, they didn't anounce it)


Trish and her breasts are in the ring, but we get MOLLY HOLLY coming to the ring, wearing a lovely white blouse which shows us that Molly's actually got some pretty sizable sweater puppets of her own. I don't know if Molly plays hockey, but she's givin' me a high stick [/Lawler Impersonation]. Molly's got the mic! "These people don't want their WWF Women's Champion to be a cheater! And these people don't want their WWF Women's Champion to flaunt her body around!" Somebody tell Molly that her blouse is a) tight, and b) kinda see-thru...not that I was staring. "These people want their WWF Women's Champion to be pure, and wholesome. Like me. Trish Stratus, you are nothing more than a cheater. And you know what happens to cheaters..." ohhhhhhhIknowIknowIknow! They get hit in the head with a mic! And thrown to the outside! Turns out I'm correct! Trish fires back with a forearm while Jazz's music starts up. Molly reverse Irish whips Trish into the steel steps, and Jazz rolls Trish in while referee Chalres Robinson orders Molly to the back. Robinson gets back into the ring and there's the bell!

Jazz nails Trish with a clothesline from behind. Whip into the corner, Trish runs out and runs right into a sidewalk slam. Cover, 1, 2, no. Here's a Replay of Molly whipping Trish (into the steps). Jazz charges but Trish drops her on the top rope neck-first. Forearm, another, clothesline misses, Jazz with a firewoman's carry into a fall-forward slam! "Nothin, baby! You're nothin'!" Irish whip, leapfrog while Trish rolls under, HUGE clothesline from Trish. Eye rake by Jazz. Left, left, left...she kisses the right, but it's blocked and Trish lays down some forearms. Irish whip, big kick misses, a second doesn't! Cover, 1,2, no. Chop, chop, chop, chop, kick, kick, kick, forearm, forearm, Trish perches her on the top but Jazz pushes her off. So, Trish does her handstand head-scissors trick, and follows with a couple of clotheslines. Neckbreaker! cover, 1, 2, no! Irish whip, Trish with her head down and she gets kicked for it. Powerbomb!!! Cover, 1, 2, no!! Jazz isn't happy. By the way, Jazz looks like a Xena reject tonight. While I notice this, Jazz chokes out Trish on the bottom rope - first with her hand, then with her foot. Whip into the corner - Jazz charges but Trish dodges and Jazz eats turnbuckle - rollup, 1, 2, no! Eye rake by Jazz, irish whip reversed, Stratusfaction NO, side suplex by Jazz! Cover, 1, 2, no! Jazz getting mad now. Whip to the corner, Trish raises the boot but Jazz catches - Dragon Leg Screw! Now Jazz with the Boston Crab! JR says that "not even lotion's gonna make feel any better". I never knew about the healing pwer of lotion, apparantly. Trish screeeeaming to get to the ropes, but Jazz pulls her into the centre of the ring - she lets Trish out of the Boston Crab and applides the STF!! Trish SCREAMING, trying to get to the ropes - trying, trying - SHE TAPS! (4:31) Champ retains. That New SmackDown Guy tries to interview Jazz, but Jazz says not a word. How lame is that? Match was good, though.

Here's a replay of Paul Heyman playing with Lita's thongs and the buildup to the Brock lesnar/Match. The music in the background while Heyman talks to Lita is downright eerie.

Here's a shot of the huge tattoo on Brock's back while Heyman talks. "Tonight, tonight, tonight is your first official match! And you never get a second chance to make a first impression! I want the beating that you gave Matt Hardy to pale in comparison to the beating that I envision you giving Jeff Hardy. I want you to have no regret. I want you to have no remorse. I want you to remember that this is all Lita's fault! Lita wants to play rough? I want you to show Lita how rough you can play. And I want you wo show the world that The Next Big Thing is BROCK...LESNAR!" Lesnar breathes a whole lot, then leaves. Heyman has a diabolical look on his face, which doesn't help much, because he looks at Lesnar's ass, then leaves.

JEFF HARDY (acompanied by Lita - Cameron, North Carolina, 218 pounds)
vs.
BROCK LESNAR (accompanied by Paul Heyman - Minniapolis, Minnesota, 275 pounds)


Lesnar leaps up onto the apron, gets in the ring, and is immediately attacked by Jeff Hardy. There's the bell!

Jeff with a myriad of punches but Lesnar stops him with a knee to the gut. Shots to the back, then Lesnar tosses him under the bottom rope and to the outside. Lesnar follows, Jeff rolls back in, Lesnar leaps to the apron but is dropkicked off! High Cross Body over the top rope but Lesnar catches him - goes to ram Jeff into the pole but Jeff slips off his back and rams Lesnar in instead! Lesnar gets back into the ring, and Heyman SCREAMS to Brock that Jeff's on the top rope! Too late - High Cross Body! Cover, 1, kickout WITH AUTHORITY! Lesnar charges and throws Jeff into the corner and follows with a series of shoulder-blocks, then tosses Jeff to the mat like a sack of potatoes. Lesnar drives Jeff into the corner again. Belly To Belly Overhead Suplex!! Heyman "I'll bet that hurt, didn't it Lita? That's on your conscience!!" Heyman RULES. Brock is staring down at an already-half-dead Jeff Hardy. There's another B2B! Heyman: "It's all Lita's fault!" Lesnar picks up Jeff - backbreaker, but Lesnar doesn't let go. In fact, Lesnar might as well be holding a large pillow - that's how easy he's tossing Jeff around. There's a second backbreaker, and he STILL holds on! Heyman: "2! That's for you, Lita!" And There's a HUGE 3rd backbreaker! Heyman now yelling at Jeff: "Do you see what Lita did to you?!" Lita looks extremely depressed. Jeff backs into a corner - Lesnar slowly follows him in. Kick to the gut by Jeff (which Lesnar sells like a champ), another, three, right, right, right, right, Irish whip reversed into the corner by Lesnar. I'm starting to see the Goldberg similarities that eveybody seems to be mentioning when it comes to Lesnar - however, Lesnar can a) actually WRESTLE, b) actually SELL, and c) could probalby eat Goldberg's lunch if he was so inclined. Lesnar whips Jeff into the turnbuckle again. JR speculates how dangerous Lesnar is going to be after he gets some more experience. Lesnar whips Jeff in again, but he runs up the turnbuckle - Whisper In The Wind floors Brock! Jawbreaker! Here's a Replay of the Whisper In The Wind while Jeff does the Groin Legdrop! SWANTON BOMB! Cover, 1, 2, NO!! Jeff rolls out to get a chair - he's frustrated! But as soon as he gets int he ring - Lesnar simply picks him up with absolutely no effort at all, places him on his shoulders - BROCKBUSTER! (No, that's not the official name, but it's better than "TKO", and until the WWF actually names it, that's what I'm going with). Heyman: "Brock! Don't pin him! Hurt him!! Break him in half!!" Lesnar is happy to oblige - POWERBOMB! Picking him up - a SECOND powerbomb! Hardy is extremely dead. Lesnar just stands there, half-smiling. Lesnar picks Jeff up again - RUNNING POWERBOMB!! Teddy Long takes one looks at Jeff, and STOPS THE MATCH! (5:32) Heyman's in the ring, and raises Brock's hand, a big, big smile on his face. Teddy Long calls for help, and Lita looks like she's going to burst into tears. Heyman reminds her this is all her fault - Lita seems to acknowledge that he's right. Lesnar sadistically stares at Jeff - or what's left of 'em, anyway. That was some good squash! Here's some replays of the powerbombs which have turned Jeff Hardy into a stain on the mat. Y'know what's REALLY scary? I don't think Lesnar even broke a sweat.

Tazz interviews fans at WWF New York - half pick Triple H, half pick Hogan. Go figure.

Before we get to our next match, the countdown starts and CHRIS JERICHO makes his way into the ring and grabs a mic - he's gonna SPEAK! "K, let me try and rationalize this, let me try and get this straight. 30 days ago, I was in the main event of WrestleMania 18, the biggest show in the history of the World Wrestling Federation! And I was in the main event as the Undisputed Champion, the very first Undisputed Champion in the history of the World Wrestling Federation, the top guy in the business, the top money paying position in the industry, but TONIGHT, I stand in this ring, in this filthy little town, and I don't even have a match! And I DON'T EVEN HAVE A MATCH tonight at Backlash! I'm not good enough to have a match, I'm not WORTHY enough to have a match, so I am here at Backlash, the lowest of the lower, nothing more than a common spectator, like each and every one of you jackasses!! And that is absolutely unacceptable, I mean - Billy Kidman had a match! Trish Stratus had a match! Even Maven has a match, but the very first Undisputed Champion in the history of the WWF isn't good enough to have a match! And that offends me - that insults me - and most importantly of all, that hurts my feelings! Yeah, that hurts my feelings - that that any of YOU jackasses care! But you know what makes me feel really good? You know what makes me feel absolutely tremendous? The fact that even on a day like this, the worst day of my career, I am STILL BETTER than each and every one of you! And am STILL BETTER than that has-ben, Hulk Hogan!" Cross boos lustily! "Oh come on, come on, do any of you really, truly believe that Hogan deserves te title shot more than i do?" Lots of cheering. "You honestly believe that!" More cheers. "Well here's a news flash for ya - for all you (dumb-guy voice) HUWKEHMANIACS, that are trying to live vicariously through Hogan, HOPING, PRAYING, BELIEVING that the Hulkster can bring the Championship back home one last time, well you're going to be very disappointed. Becuase that is not going to happen tonight, or ever again! Because Hogan is not worthy of being a champion! But Chris Jericho is worthy of being a champion! And Chris Jericho is worthy of having a match at Backlash tonight, but since I don't, I guess I'm not welcome here in Kansas City." Crod cheers this. "Well if that's the case, then I'm just gonna leave right now! Screw all of you! Hit my music!" They do so, and Jericho exists, yelling at the fans the whole time. AWESOME promo. Jericho RULES.

Ric Flar is in his office preparing, when the Undertaker enters. Arn: "Here we go." Ric: "What do you wait?" taker says nothing - just holds up one finger....and leaves. Arn advises hRic to keep an eye on him. Double A's a GENIUS.

Scorpion King ad - I saw it on Friday. There's absolutely no plot, but the action is great, and The Rock does a pretty good job as a leading guy in this kind of movie - I was actually surprised how soft-spoken he was throughout the whole flick. It'll never be called a classic, but if you'd like to see 90-minutes of action, I'd recommend it. JR tells us it's the highest grossing movie opening in the month of April in the history of motion picutres - over $30 million bucks. WOW. Well, I guess The Rock's officially a Hollywood star now. Wonder how much longer he'll wrestle for?

The Coach catches up with Ric Flair and tells him what just happened, and shows him the footage to boot. "Now Mr. Flair, what do you have to say after seing that footage?" Flair's only got two words for us: "Aw, shit."

Hogan lends the ear to the chering fans - but H is on his feet, busted wide open from the chairshot. He looks PISSED. He's shaking with rage - now he turns Hogan around - HUGE staredown....and H offers the Hand of Friendship, which Hogan eventually accepts. Hogan gives H a thumbs up, but H looks extremely not happy with The Undertaker and everything else. Hogan poses for the crowd like it's 1985, HUGE WWF logo and THAT'S IT!

Well, I didn't expect THAT. And if this is Hogan's "last run", I'm good with it, as long as it doesn't last too long. It just can't - great psychology in the main event but it just moved way too slowly. When Jericho was in the ring, it was like somebody pushed Fast Forward compared to the pace that H and Hogan set. I'm curious to see where this goes, considering Jericho isn't out of the picture, but Undertaker's the #1 contender, but Austin got beat by a bad call, etc. Everybody's nicely tied into each other, so I suppose they could do pretty much anything now - and that's a good thing.

EXCELLENT show.
