Guest AndrewTS Report post Posted April 12, 2003 Bold matches are more or less confirmed. Regular text are highly likely Italics matches are possible/guesses by me. "Big Daddy Diesel" Kevin Nash, "Not-HBK" Shawn Michaels, Booker T vs. Triple H, "Highlight of the Night" Chris Jericho, Ric Flair Piper vs. Hogan Goldberg vs. Rock Nowinski vs. Steiner Torrie vs. Sable Cena vs. Brock Lesnar Taker and Jones vs. 2+ FBI members? Women's Title Match: Jazz w/ the Mack and Theodore Long vs. Trish Stratus w/ Jeff "I'm not gay" Hardy Cruiserweight Title Match: Matt Hardy v. 1 vs. Brian Kendrick Smackdown Tag Team Title Match: Team Angle vs. a team announced last minute Raw Tag Team Title Tables Match: Dudleys vs. Storm and Morely vs. RVD & Kane or maybe just: RVD/Kane vs. Storm and Morley Oh crap...this doesn't look good.

Guest Will Scarlet Report post Posted April 12, 2003 Let's see... "Big Daddy Diesel" Kevin Nash, "Not-HBK" Shawn Michaels, Booker T vs. Triple H, "Highlight of the Night" Chris Jericho, Ric Flair I will say Nash gets the win. Probably over Jericho. Piper vs. Hogan Hogan will win this one with the real loser being the fans. Goldberg vs. Rock I will say Goldberg. Nowinski vs. Steiner Well, one's a young wrestler with a ton of potential, while the other is a steroid freak who has been booed out of two areas despite being the face. Obviously, by WWE logic, Steiner wins in a squash. Torrie vs. Sable Most of the fans will probably be taking a piss break during this match anyway, but I will say Torrie wins. Cena vs. Brock Lesnar Lesnar, of course. Taker and Jones vs. 2+ FBI members? Taker and Jones, duh. May it at least be short. Women's Title Match: Jazz w/ the Mack and Theodore Long vs. Trish Stratus w/ Jeff "I'm not gay" Hardy THE MACK~! *marks out* Oh, sorry. I say Jazz wins. Cruiserweight Title Match: Matt Hardy v. 1 vs. Brian Kendrick I will say Hardy take this one in an incredibly short match. Smackdown Tag Team Title Match: Team Angle vs. a team announced last minute Team Angle, I guess. Another short match to give Hogan-Piper more time. Raw Tag Team Title Tables Match: Dudleys vs. Storm and Morely vs. RVD & Kane or maybe just: RVD/Kane vs. Storm and Morley I will say Storm + Morley if it's a tag match, but, the Dudley Boyz if they are added.

Guest razazteca Report post Posted April 12, 2003 Nash get the pin Piper with the Main Event Sleeper can Goldberg last 10 minutes? Steiner Jazz Dudleys win back the titles for the 20th time don't know about or care enough about the rest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anglesault Report post Posted April 12, 2003 Taker and Jones vs. 2+ FBI members? Yeah, let's replace that with a 20 minute Angle promo. We MUST NOT HAVE an Angle-free PPV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest AndrewTS Report post Posted April 12, 2003 Will: I mainly made the thread to get people's opinions on what the card will be. You kinda jumped the gun on match predictions. Still, that's cool. The Mack could be on the PPV card. Maybe not wrestling...but hey, that's more than most of the roster. That's good enough news for you, now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2003 Going by HHH being out from KOTR - SummerSlam with his elbow injury in 2002, I'm going to say Taker won't be at Backlash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest AndrewTS Report post Posted April 12, 2003 Taker and Jones vs. 2+ FBI members? Yeah, let's replace that with a 20 minute Angle promo. We MUST NOT HAVE an Angle-free PPV. We can hope, but Angle rarely got that much time on the show when he was champion. Oh...thought of another possible match... Goldust vs. Test. I think they'll just blow that off on Raw though, since Test is in the hoss barn (since he can't be in the dogg house). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, although probably they'd only do that if there was a three-way tag team match. Still, I mark for Team Non-White Male Cruiserweights Who Wear Shiny Pants. Or Lucharesu, or--geez, they need a team name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mulatto Heat Report post Posted April 12, 2003 I thought that Los Guerreros would get the title shot, until what happened this week with Tajiri and Mysterio. I guess it'll be a three-way at Backlash, and likely rushed just like at Mania. Does anyone know how long Taker will be out after the elbow surgery? Add Benoit vs. Rhyno as a potential match.

Guest AndrewTS Report post Posted April 12, 2003 Does anyone know how long Taker will be out after the elbow surgery? Not long enough. You mean that Taker really is due to have surgery? News to me. I'd say 6 weeks or so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest JDMattitudeV1 Report post Posted April 13, 2003 no rey rey + no benoit + no guerrerros + no rhyno + = PPV OF THE DECADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 I have a bad feeling that Benoit and Rhyno will be jobbing to Big Show and A-Train.

Guest Kahran Ramsus Report post Posted April 13, 2003 And this is why splitting the PPVs is a good idea. It limits the number of old guys that can possibly be on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest AlwaysPissedOff Report post Posted April 13, 2003 My God... I had not realized how utterly shitty this card looked like until now. Methinks I'll skip watching it at home or at Hooters this time. Christ, talk about BAD... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted April 13, 2003 hmm... Angle and Benoit being out isn't WWE's fault... but no Benoit/ReyRey/Guerreros??? Good thing they removed Heyman from the writing of that show. Nathan F'N Jones 4 LIFE!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Space_Cowboy Report post Posted April 13, 2003 I wouldn't be surprised to see the WWE rush a Rhyno heel turn so they can have Benoit vs Rhyno at Backlash, though that would take away time from Hogan/Piper and the Kliq-fest, so both of them will most likely be left off the card. Oh yeah, Benoit/Rhyno could end up jobbing to Fat and Hairy, can't have a PPV without A-Train and Big Show on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest AndrewTS Report post Posted April 13, 2003 My God... I had not realized how utterly shitty this card looked like until now. Methinks I'll skip watching it at home or at Hooters this time. Christ, talk about BAD... Likely a number of those matches won't make it to the card. However, I basically assumed that each issue brewing will likely make it to a PPV match, and went from there. There...really isn't much that looks promising, is there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mole Report post Posted April 13, 2003 Wow, this card does suck. Just give it to Triple-Juice to make wrestling better. Just think how much better this card could be if he lost to RVD. Just think. I know he would get the title back sometime, but if he was actually a business man. If that was the case, Jericho wouldn't of lost the title to him.

Guest Lightning Flik Report post Posted April 13, 2003 The sad thing? There is a lack of credible faces to face Trips. Raw is just in a bad place right now. What's worse? The fact that they can't really build anyone to credible without the midcard belts. They got rid of those belts because there were too many and now they could probably use them to get people over with the crowd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest edotherocket Report post Posted April 13, 2003 Considering RAW's lack of credible heels how would Triple H losing to RVD make the situation any better? Triple H is way above anyone else. So its a foregone conclusion that he will win. However, there are lots of heels on RVD's level. Well, before he jobbed to the elbow drop. RVD's on the level of Nowinksi at the moment.

And considering those moves are moves that everyone should shrug off and get back in the match... ugh. As for the Nowinski part, I agree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
