I live in Edmonton, Alberta Canada - the home of Chris Benoit and the site of Backlash. Backlash is the first WWE PPV after Wrestlemania XX.I live in Edmonton, Alberta Canada - the home of Chris Benoit and the site of Backlash. Backlash is the first WWE PPV after Wrestlemania XX.

 

The ads for Backlash are on the radio now. They really build up that the hometown hero, Chris Benoit, is coming to Edmonton. It starts with something like "He is determined, vicious, and the greatest technical wrestler today." It then goes on to say that at Backlash, "Chris Benoit has just one goal - The World Heavyweight Championship" This implies he will not have the title coming into Backlash. The ad goes on from there listing other names (but no matches) that will be there. It is the standard Raw stars (including Sheriff Steve Austin and Trish Stratus).

 

Then near the end of the ad, you can tell that they have added a sentence. They are using the same announcer voice, but it sounds slightly different, as if recorded at a different recording session. "Chris Benoit may be victorious at Wrestlemania XX and return to Edmonton as the World Heavyweight Champ". The way it was added to the end of the ads leads me to think it was added as an after-thought and can easily be removed after WMXX, assuming Benoit is not victorious.

 

As an added bonus for my friends on the internet and in Edmonton, the presale password to buy tickets right now online at Ticketmaster is 'WWEBACK'. The tickets do not officially go on sale until Saturday Feb 21 so order online right now if you want some great seats!
