Duffyboy · 03-15-2004, 08:38 AM

K folks. Wrestlemania absoloutley blowed. Simply dreadful. I only hope that the next PPV will be any better. That is of course Backlash.

Here's a few things we might be seeing. They are in spoiler cos they are only rumors.

Spoiler!

Shawn Michaels VS Chris Benoit. Bret Hart will FINALLY RETURN and screw HBK

Y2J VS Christian. Trish To Referee.

Undertaker VS Kane. HELL IN THE FUCKING CELL! WOO HOO!

Austin VS Gilberg. Come on Austin! Return to the ring and fuckin' kick some ass!

Spoiler!

No, I think they're going to have Benoit lose his title at Backlash. WWE generally wants to excite the hometown fans in one way or another. So their options are: Benoit defends the title and loses, or Benoit challenges the title and wins. And since the belt is around his waist right now, he's probably going to lose it. Just to get a huge reaction out of the fans. If any fark-overs are done that involve Bret Hart, they better happen in Calgary the following night... that's his homeland. And besides, I want to be there when it happens.

Spoiler!

Uhhh if they didn't bring Bret back at "the biggest wrestlemania EVER!!!" I doubt they'll bring him in for Backlash.

If that Y2J/Christian match happens it's going to suck.

Blah

Backlash always seems lackluster since it has to follow WrestleMania. But with it being a RAW PPV, and with the shaking up of the WWE roster, I'm predicting Backlash will feel fresh and will be very good.

Im still in shock over this *lottery* that is gonna take place :/ I dunno, I find it werid but maybe it will be a good thing. Oh well we'll see.

Im looking forward to seeing new fueds and new matches. Backlash is gonna be interesting with all this stuff going on.

I think it will be a good thing.....

Except if you're an Eddie Gurerro fan! Read my prediction below and see why!

Spoiler!

Eddie Gurrero will be drawn on the exact same show as KANE.

Kane will whoop his ass and leave the WWE champion. Face characters hold the WWE title for very limited time. IE: Kurt Angle, Hogan, Undertaker etc.....

Speaking of Taker, this is going to open up a very interesting chapter if Kane does indeed fulfill my prediction. A Hell In The Cell match perhaps? And let's hope they make it a good match this time. Their match at Wrestlemania sucked ass.

Right well my prediction above sure isn't gonna happen.

Spoiler!

Mind you, Shawn Michaels and Chris Benoit has been announced on the Backlash website. Interestingly enough there's a picture of Bret Hart on it as well.

Hmmmm.....

Well I'm almost sure we can guarantee the main event for Backlash. Eric Bischoff said on Monday that if both HBK and Benoit were still on RAW after the trade deadline, they would be squaring off for the title at Backlash. So I think it's practically official.

I think it will be a good, exciting match. They went one-on-one on RAW a while back and that was pretty good. I wonder if there will be any stipulations added to the match.

Should be interesting.

They have, what, 3 more programs before the PPV? 3 or 4. So they should probably get moving.

Haha, I was thinking the exact same thing, actually. Backlash will be on the 18^th of April, so before that there's gonna be March 29^th, April 5 and April 12.

So the current card is as follows:

Triple H vs. Chris Benoit vs. Shawn Michaels (Triple Threat for World Title)
Cactus Jack vs. Randy Orton (Street Fight for IC Title)
Chris Jericho vs. Christian and Trish Stratus
Edge vs. Kane
Ric Flair vs. Shelton Benjamin
Lita vs. Victoria (Women's Title)
Tajiri vs. The Coach

I really think this is a quality card up and down. All the matches look intriguing to me, even Coach vs. Tajiri. Let's face it, it's always enjoyable to watch Coach get his candy ass whipped. I can't wait.

And even though the Women's title match has absolutely no heat and Victoria hasn't even been on RAW in two or three weeks, it would be very interesting if Lita was to finally regain the Women's Title and become a 2-time champ. I wouldn't be surprised to see Trish attack Lita before, during, or after the match.
