Official Backlash 2008 Thread

[El Fangel]

Might as well "Git R Stared"

Sup guys?

[Londoner]

Really looking forward to hbk v batista and mvp v matt hardy.

[FourFifty]

Gonna roll over to a friend's place for this one.
What time does it start?

[Y2Ant]

Really looking forward to Mike Adamle's commentary

:y:

[FourFifty]

Bobby Heenan can barely talk and Milke Adamle is calling a title match.....
There is no god.

[Y2Ant]

I hope The Deuce interferes and costs Kane the title.

[Londoner]

:y:

Should be a laugh either way atleast.

[Volare]

The "Mike Adamle drinking game" sounds like fun tonite.

[SammyG]

Where's teh linkz

[SammyG]

Not that I'm gonna watch, I'mma go play tennis, but still.

[Londoner]

Check the other thread ffs.

[Outsider]

Still in the fucking office. Gonna watch it online methinks.

[Innovator]

SPOILERRRRRRRRRRRRRR


























Foley is calling Backlash with Cole, so he's on Smackdown now

[Londoner]

seriously?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Terrible spoiler placement.

Anyway, I bit the bullet and ordered Backlash right here at home. I'll be chatting with you lovely gents throughout. HBK/Batista will be good.

[Londoner]

Good to see you hear for once thrilla. I'm wondering if i'll manage to stay up atm, since i actually start a course tmrw. Fuck it, gonna just go with it and see what happens.

[Outsider]

What's happened to Coach?

Is he dead?

[Innovator]

No, he just sucks

[Innovator]

And not in a comedically bad way like Adamle

[Londoner]

So foley is actually commentating tonight???

[Anybody Thrilla]

Coach is better than Adamle. He was a good fit with J.R. and King, but not so much with Cole. Not even knocking Cole but their chemistry is seriously lacking. I've never heard so many awkward silences.

[El Fangel]

Anyone have a Sopcast link?

[Londoner]

Wooooooo finally its about to start. Backlash was the first ever ppv i watched live, 8 years ago now.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Is Undertaker/Edge closing the show again?

[Londoner]

Fatal 4 way elimination match probably will.

[Londoner]

shite theme song for backlash

[Anybody Thrilla]

I went to Backlash in 2006 in Lexington, KY. Ah, good times. That was the same show with Shane and Vince vs. Shawn and God.

[Anybody Thrilla]

shite theme song for backlash

I was just thinking the same thing.

[Londoner]

FOOOOOLLLEEEYYYY!!!!!!!

[Anybody Thrilla]

Hot opener, let's rock.

[Londoner]

wow matt hardy mvp to start with!

[BigDaddyCool]

Mick Foley looks awful. I can't believe they found a way to make Lawler and JR look goo again, but they did it.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I know this match has 'Matt Hardy wins' written all over it, but I'm still pulling for Mr. Porter here.

[BigDaddyCool]

I hate kid rock.

[Londoner]

I originally said mvp to retain by DQ in tipsters, but went for a matt hardy win.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Man, Wrestlemania was such a fun show.

[BigDaddyCool]

Sugarbutt made wings for backlash. :D

[Anybody Thrilla]

New MVP shirt for anybody lame enough to still wear wrestling shirts.

[BigDaddyCool]

It is really quiet...that isn't good.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Sugarbutt made wings for backlash. :D

I might do the same thing now that you mention it.

[Innovator]

In ring intros, big fight feel babyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[BigDaddyCool]

New MVP shirt for anybody lame enough to still wear wrestling shirts.

*pulls of the Kevin "BDC" Nash shirt I'm currently wearing*

[Londoner]

i hate these lame introductions when they are already out...

[Anybody Thrilla]

Glad to see Matt Hardy cashed in his coupon at Hogan's Tan-o-rama.

[Innovator]

New MVP shirt for anybody lame enough to still wear wrestling shirts.
Speaking of which, I wish they were still nWo red and black shirts going around

[BigDaddyCool]

In ring intros, big fight feel babyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

i hate these lame introductions when they are already out...

:rofl:

[Anybody Thrilla]

i hate these lame introductions when they are already out...

I like them. Like BDC said, more of a big fight feel. They only do it for title matches anyway.

[Londoner]

Coach must really hate foley now

[Anybody Thrilla]

I'm sorry, like Innovator said.

[Innovator]

MVP smart, going for the leg early

[Anybody Thrilla]

This ring looks a lot like Smackdown.

[Innovator]

Coach is out, Adamle still in :lol:

[Londoner]

I like them. Like BDC said, more of a big fight feel. They only do it for title matches anyway.

Not a fan of them myself though, i prefer to see the match to just get going straight away.

[Anybody Thrilla]

So does this match/commentating team.

[BigDaddyCool]

I like them. Like BDC said, more of a big fight feel. They only do it for title matches anyway.

Vator said that.

[BigDaddyCool]

Coach is out, Adamle still in :lol:

Styles is still out as well. :roll:

[Anybody Thrilla]

I think Matt gives a bit too much of a precursor for a freakin' elbow.

[Innovator]

Fast fucking moonsault

[Anybody Thrilla]

I would love just one time for a ref to ask "can you continue?" and the wrestler says "no, I don't think so, ring the bell".

[Londoner]

Wonder how long they'll give this match.

[Innovator]

Hmmmm Matt is on the 2nd rope screaming....I better just stay right here

[Innovator]

Adamle referred to Tazz as the Human Suplex Machine....he gets a pass tonight

[Londoner]

nice move by mvp

[Jeritron]

I hate when Matt does moves off the 2nd rope. It's like, c'mon you pussy you claim to be extreme and you're on the second rope. His brother jumps off the top rope all day, and sometimes higher.

Doesn't really matter, aside from that I think Matt's great, but it always irked me. It did more so back in the day when they were a tag team and he'd go second rope in the same match as his brother was flying off the top

[BigDaddyCool]

I would like to see a wrestler literally explode...you know when they say "Matt Hardy exploded out of the corner" or whever. Well maybe no literally explode, that is probably not cool.

[NeanderCarl]

:lol: at Jim Ross "The Tazz...."

[Londoner]

Foleys shit at commentating. Still nice to see him there though.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Super side effect

[Innovator]

playmaker reversed into the side effect, gets 2

[Anybody Thrilla]

I love how even people in the WWE make fun of Adamle. Do you guys watch The Dirt Sheet at all?

[Innovator]

"The Tazz" sign

[Innovator]

MVP looking to kick ....where his appendix.....was

[KingofOldSchool]

UNO!

DOS!

ADIOS!

JAMACIAN ME CRAZY WITH MIKE THE MIZ!

[Anybody Thrilla]

LAME ENDING

[Innovator]

TWIST OF FATE


NEW CHAMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Londoner]

THANK FUCK I EDITED MY TIPSTERS PREDICTIONS

[Innovator]

MIZ THE MICHAEL

[BigDaddyCool]

Decent match

[Anybody Thrilla]

The Calculating Cuban, Matt Hardy

[Jura]

Uh did Foley just let out a high pitched woo?

[KingofOldSchool]

YAY! The talented Hardy finally wins a major singles title!

[Innovator]

The Hardy that won't get busted

[Jeritron]

I might just give up on tipsters

[KingofOldSchool]

Adamle should call Matt Hardy, Mitch Hardy.

[BigDaddyCool]

Adamle calls him the Taz...then refered to him as Human Suplex Machine. Does Adamle refuse to use "the" properly?

[KingofOldSchool]

The Hardy that won't get busted

Unless it involves ranting on the intrawebs about his girlfriend.

[Innovator]

Hardy getting interviewed....here comes the end of the push

[Anybody Thrilla]

Why didn't they acknowledge his European championship as a singles title?

[Londoner]

weird promo

[Innovator]

Jesus it took a while for him to get that out

[Anybody Thrilla]

MVP, I only have one thing to say to you...fuck, what was it?

[KingofOldSchool]

lol they are doing a poll on the four way. JBL will get the least votes so he will automatically win the title in a Russo SWURVE.

[Innovator]

Wrestlemania..........24

[Londoner]

Oh great now hear comes the hilarious ecw commentary.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Chavo put the sting to Kane on ECW. Great beatdown. I hope Kane sells it tonight.

[KingofOldSchool]

Adamle: Up next at...Blacklash...Citizen Kane...vs...Chive Guerrero...for the...FEC...World...Title.

[Londoner]

I really hate kanes fake laugh

[Jura]

Since Chavo has a bodyguard and Santino will have one I think I should get one too.

[Innovator]

Kane/Chavito

[Anybody Thrilla]

Doesn't look like Kane's selling a damn thing.

[Inadequacy]

Adamle should call Matt Hardy, Mitch Harvey.

Unless you were referring to someone else actually named Mitch Hardy

[Londoner]

so much for kane selling it

[Fox]

that belt looks awkward on Kane

[Anybody Thrilla]

Is Bam Neely actually going to wrestle or just be a bodyguard?

[Innovator]

Another big fight intro

[JH]

V1 BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KingofOldSchool]

Doesn't look like Kane's selling a damn thing.

HE'S THE BIG RED MACHINE!!! He basically no sold getting set on fire as a kid.

[Londoner]

hmm seems to be selling it abit

[Anybody Thrilla]

Why did they only show a small part of the beatdown before this match? Chavo did way more damage on Tuesday.

[RP]

Matt Hardy sucks nuts

[CSL]

I saw a house show match between these 2 a few weeks back where Chavo spent most of his offense working the leg. Be interesting to see how different this is. Finish that night was a frog splash 'reversed'/no sold into a chokeslam

[Fox]

It's ECW.

[Outsider]

Well at least this is getting longer than eight seconds...

[Anybody Thrilla]

"As he leaped over the three rings"

God damn it, Adamle. :nono:

[Innovator]

Adamle "You can't blame that on me"

Tazz "Yes I can"

[KingofOldSchool]

Well at least this is getting longer than eight seconds...

Three minutes?

[Fox]

A heel Chavo w/o Pepe isn't right.

[Outsider]

Is Tazz now the PBP?

[KingofOldSchool]

"As he leaped over the three rings"

God damn it, Adamle. :nono:

Was he trying to jump over Saturn?

[Fox]

Does the name "Guerrero" really mean Warrior?

[Fox]

Is Tazz now the PBP?

Whatever he is, he's 100% credibility for the ECW announce table. He's gotta do PBP and color.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Yes, Guerrero means warrior.

[CSL]

lol. This all seems very familiar atm

[Anybody Thrilla]

Neither of these guys are doing a bad job, but I just don't like their styles together.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Chavo and Kane, I'm talking.

[Outsider]

lol. This all seems very familiar atm

You mean it's a medicore match that's been poorly booked for a title no-one cares about?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Haha, house show ending.

[Innovator]

Same finish, good match though

[Anybody Thrilla]

CSL called the ending a page ago.

[Fox]

top rope chokeslam?

[Innovator]

Well, good match for Kane

[Outsider]

:lol:

[Fox]

Kane needs to set Adamle on fire like he did JR.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Just go ahead and completely no-sell a finisher, it's cool man.

[Fox]

Orton for President

[Anybody Thrilla]

We are in the interviewing Age of Grisham.

[Gerard]

Kanes lost a shitload of muscle. His arms are much smaller than they were a few years back.

[Innovator]

Poor Foley, first night calling Smackdown and he has to call Big Show vs. Collie

[Outsider]

Piss break.

[Anybody Thrilla]

This match will be....large.

[CSL]

Same finish, good match though

It was EXACTLY the same match with the exception of the Bam Neely interference

:lol:

[Anybody Thrilla]

I wonder what kind of livestock will be offered tonight.

[parkmania]

Puberty much, Cole?

"The Great Coahem, The great Collie..."

[CSL]

lol @ the decision to actually book this match and put it on PPV. Shouldn't be longer than about 4 minutes though

[Gerard]

funny how khali went from 420 to 400 when show returned. Also gained an inch.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Teetering on five stars thus far....bring 'er on home, boys.

[Innovator]

You can't wrestle chants starting

[Fox]

It's a good live match simply because of how large both men are.

From every other standpoint it's a horrible match.

[Anybody Thrilla]

The Khali Crossface????

[parkmania]

Collie with an STFU!

[Fox]

Cole just said he doesn't remember Big Show ever tapping out. He must have a terrible memory.

[Innovator]

COLLIE CHOP

[Outsider]

I've pissed and made a cup of tea and this match is still on. That annoys me.

[Innovator]

BORING chants

[CSL]

LOL KHALI KROSSFACE

[parkmania]

Cole just said he doesn't remember Big Show ever tapping out. He must have a terrible memory.

I STILL REMEMBER!

[Anybody Thrilla]

You can see Show's stretch marks in HD. AWESOME!!!!!!

[Outsider]

Boring chants...

[Anybody Thrilla]

There's not a whole lot WRONG with this match....there's just absolutely nothing right with it.

[Innovator]

Thank you baby jesus

[Anybody Thrilla]

What's next? Michaels/Batista?

[Innovator]

Hey hey 17k

[Anybody Thrilla]

I'm gonna go Michaels/Bats, followed by 12 Diva tag, followed by Edge/Undertaker, followed by Fatal 4 Way.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Cena and Wang are homeboys. Who knew?

[Gerard]

pretty good chokeslam considering his opponent has all the mobility of a 400lb bag of shit.

[Fox]

pretty good chokeslam considering his opponent has all the mobility of a 400lb bag of shit.

Bags of shit sell better than Khali does.

[Outsider]

Each match is gonna have to be about half an hour long now to get the show to three hours.

I hope the Diva's match doesn't get half an hour :|

[KingofOldSchool]

Cena Wang

[Anybody Thrilla]

The Fatal Four Way will last a while, considering three people have to be pinned. Also, Michaels/Batista will definitely go a while.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I don't mind seeing Jericho, but he has no business in this match.

[CSL]

After what Michaels dragged out of Flair at Mania, I have high hopes for this. Could artisticly be Dancin' Dave's finest moment. Nicely built program too

[Gerard]

God willing jericho gets nowhere near a mic for yet another snorefest babbleathon.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Jericho is the man right now. More entertaining than anybody else on the roster.

[Innovator]

Save_us.dancindavecan'twork

[Innovator]

I like the tweener role for Jericho, just piss everyone off

[Gerard]

Jericho is the man right now. More entertaining than anybody else on the roster.

Ive taken shits that were more entetaining and cut better promos than jericho.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Is my mind playing tricks on me or is there something up with Dave's left eye?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Ive taken shits that were more entetaining and cut better promos than jericho.

No you have not.

[KingofOldSchool]

Jericho should make a three count by yelling "UNO, DOS, ADIOS!"

[Gerard]

No you have not.

This one time i was on a toilet in the middle of wembley. One rip roaring arse tearing shit later the stench had everyones attention.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Wonder how Dave got that shiner.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Jericho has no showed his entire latest run. Well, his body is there - just none of his personality.

[Outsider]

Jericho has no showed his entire latest run. Well, his body is there - just none of his personality.

I think that is more to do with how much of a chance he's had to show it rather than hs ability to.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I disagree.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Well yeah, I agree with Outsider.

[KingofOldSchool]

Mike Adamle has more charisma than Jericho.

[Gerard]

I think that is more to do with how much of a chance he's had to show it rather than hs ability to.

Even on his first night back the crowd weren't that much into his waffle. Usually when a wrestler returns their first night back the crowd are going nuts for them, wasn't the case with jericho if i remember right.

[KingofOldSchool]

I think that is more to do with how much of a chance he's had to show it rather than hs ability to.

Is that everyone's excuse when someone they like isn't performing like they expect them to?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Jericho's been cranking out awesome matches and I really like the mic work he's done during this Michaels/Batista feud, even though he's not a focal point. I just hope they keep him a tweener and let him be kind of an asshole. That's when he's best.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Is that everyone's excuse when someone they like isn't performing like they expect them to?

How much can you really do when you're booked as a guest ref? Also, his JBL feud forced him to play a much more serious role, which I thought he did a good job of, but it wasn't "classic" Jericho.

[Innovator]

Armbar over the rope, YOU STOLE THAT FROM KI

[Outsider]

He hasn't had enough mic time or any particuarly amazing wrestlers to fued with.

I wanna see MVP/Jericho. That could be the goods.

[Innovator]

I wanna see Punk show up somewhere tonight, just walking by a backstage promo or something

[Outsider]

What the hell was that hold? :shifty:

[Anybody Thrilla]

What is with all these crossfaces tonight?

[KingofOldSchool]

I wanna see Punk show up somewhere tonight, just walking by a backstage promo or something

Him and I.R.S. showing off each others briefcase?

[HeartBreakMan2k]

He hasn't had enough mic time or any particuarly amazing wrestlers to fued with.

I wanna see MVP/Jericho. That could be the goods.

I like MVP, not as much as everyone else seems to so I'm not going to suck his dick or anything like the rest of the forum, but I do think he'd overshadow Jericho.

[El Fangel]

Any one have any sopcast, or live stream links?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Why'd you make this thread if you weren't even gonna watch, FA?

[Anybody Thrilla]

What the fucking fuck?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Sell that arm, Davey, good boy.

[Anybody Thrilla]

C'mon Jericho, Codebreak that ass.

[KingofOldSchool]

wooo HBK

[Anybody Thrilla]

Jericho has to do SOMETHING. Why the fuck else was he even there?

[Innovator]

No turn? nothing? really?

[El Fangel]

Why'd you make this thread if you weren't even gonna watch, FA?

Umm, My girlfriend and I were spending sometime together :shifty: before she goes to work, and I go to Montreal in the morning?

[Jura]

Anti-Climatic!

[Outsider]

Jericho actually had no role in that entire fued.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Umm, My girlfriend and I were spending sometime together :shifty: before she goes to work, and I go to Montreal in the morning?



That doesn't explain why you made the Backlash thread when you had no intention of watching it, you dorkus malorkus.

[Innovator]

I like how Orton doesn't look at HHH when he's speaking

[Innovator]

Diva match

[Outsider]

Balls.

[Anybody Thrilla]

They should have just had Beth/Mickie here at Backlash.

[KingofOldSchool]

Talented divas + Layla vs. No talent divas + Mickie James

[Anybody Thrilla]

LET'S GO TEAM PHOENIX!

[KingofOldSchool]

Did anyone see that Michelle McCool was one of the most search subjects on Yahoo?

Taker must of had some free time...

[Anybody Thrilla]

Talented divas + Layla vs. No talent divas + Mickie James

I think Layla has a positive upside if you give her some time.

[El Fangel]

That doesn't explain why you made the Backlash thread when you had no intention of watching it, you dorkus malorkus.

I did have intention of watching it, but when your girlfriend (If you have one, I cant remember) were to grab you right now, while naked and start to do stuff, would you say no, at least Im here to watch the end, and now would someone please live me a fucking sopcast link.

Please.

[Anybody Thrilla]

BRB guys, gonna go search Michelle McCool on Yahoo a few thousand times.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I did have intention of watching it, but when your girlfriend (If you have one, I cant remember) were to grab you right now, while naked and start to do stuff, would you say no, at least Im here to watch the end, and now would someone please live me a fucking sopcast link.

Please.

If I were paying for the show, I'd tell her to wait. That's quite rude of her, really.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I wonder if Natalya borrowed that outfit from Jim Brunzell or B. Brian Blair.

[Jura]

Ashley is horrible and she's even smaller than Cherry.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Would any of these bitches think to go for a cover?

[Anybody Thrilla]

All right, that works.

"Fisherwoman's suplex".

OK, J.R.

[El Fangel]

If I were paying for the show, I'd tell her to wait. That's quite rude of her, really.

She had to go to work, If I were to wait til its over, I would not get it.

Then again, you are paying, and I am still looking for a fucking stream.

[KingofOldSchool]

I like how Mr. MiTB and the new KOTR are sitting backstage with nothing to do right about now.

[Outsider]

I like how Mr. MiTB and the new KOTR are sitting backstage with nothing to do right about now.

They could have been made special referees for matches that don't need them instead.

[KingofOldSchool]

They could have been made special referees for matches that don't need them instead.

Punk for Diva's match and Regal for ECW Title match.

[Innovator]

LETS GO TAKER

LETS GO EDGE

[Innovator]

Why can't they both win *clap clap clapclapclap*

[Anybody Thrilla]

I'm rooting for Charles Robinson.

[KingofOldSchool]

HAVE A FAIR MATCH! *clap clap clap*

[Innovator]

Taker mouths, I'm going to hurt you, to Edge...awesome

[El Fangel]

http://www.streamsbox.com/sop.html

For anyone wanting to watch, run that in IE and allow activeX

[El Fangel]

Taker FTW

[El Fangel]

Ok, so what happened so far?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Are we ever gonna get a name for that Undertaker choke hold?

[BigDaddyCool]

Lets go Edge, retire Taker!

[Innovator]

Bloody Mouth Choke

[KingofOldSchool]

Are we ever gonna get a name for that Undertaker choke hold?

The Michelle McChoke

[BigDaddyCool]

Impact threads get more posts than this.

[Anybody Thrilla]

What's the deal with Taker and McCool? Are they dating or something?

[Anybody Thrilla]

I like the 'fear' on Edge's face there.

[El Fangel]

What happened so far?

[Anybody Thrilla]

All kinds of shit, man. All kinds.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Hardy over MVP
Kane over Chavo
Michaels over Batista
Team Phoenix over Team James

[El Fangel]

Hardy over MVP
Kane over Chavo
Michaels over Batista
Team Phoenix over Team James

*Does the Tipsters Cabbage Patch*

[El Fangel]

Taker and Edge is alright so far.

[KingofOldSchool]

What's the deal with Taker and McCool? Are they dating or something?

Yeah.

[BigDaddyCool]

So far this is a decent ppv, plus I got it for half price...maybe even free. So I'm happy with it.
