Backlash 2016 Score: 9/10
Backlash 2017 Score: 5/10
- Well, I think this is the first time in history this has happened. Guys, I don't really have a lot to offer about this show. Most of the matches were not great, although there was nothing that completely stood as terrible. It was all......just so pointless. Even a great match, like Rollins vs Miz, was extremely predictable, and turned something good into something forgettable. It just felt like everyone didn't care, from the booking staff to a large majority of the wrestlers, to the fans in attendance. Nothing on this show felt right, and nothing felt like it belonged on a pay-per-view card, to be brutally honest. I feel like Greatest Royal Rumble got a bad rap as the "glorified house show", because this felt a lot more like that. I've run out of energy to talk about this show. One to forget, really.
3/10(marked down for feeling completely unnecessary)
Throughout my time as a WWE fan, I've been angry plenty of times. I've been frustrated at the product, frustrated at fan reactions and unsatisfied with plenty of shows with great hype. But never, ever, have I felt as hopeless as I did watching this show. There's almost nothing to feel hopeful about, because almost nothing happened. I'm sorry for leaving you guys such a despondent review, but that's how I feel, and I think it's important for you to know. Hopefully in the future, I can get back to enjoying this shows, because that's what I want. I want to enjoy watching WWE shows, and enjoy giving you my thoughts on them, and I just didn't tonight. Let's just move the f*** on.
