Official WWE Backlash 2006 thread (4/30/06)
 

Preview coming right up

Here's the lineup:

WWE Championship Triple Threat Match John Cena vs. HHH vs. Edge

Shawn Michaels & "God" vs. Mr. McMahon & Shane McMahon

Intercontinental Champion Shelton Benjamin vs. Rob Van Dam

Kane vs. Big Show

Women's Champion Mickie James vs. Trish Stratus

Carlito vs. Chris Masters

Ric Flair vs. Umaga

I've been pumped for this since the Raw after Mania. I feel this is the first single brand PPV for a long time where almost every match on the card has had a lengthy, decent build up to it. Apart from Flair/Umaga, all of these matches have been brewing well since Mania, unlike the usual last minute additions we get like a week before the event. Should be a good one. :y:

My predictions:

Cena pins Edge
"God" makes the hot tag and puts the McMahon's away
RVD goes over Shelton in a classic
Kane over Show
Mickie over Trish
Carlito over Masters
Umaga over Flair ( :( )

I swear if Flair lays down for Umaga, I may just have a heart attack.

Where should I send the "Get Well Soon" card to?

Seems like it will be good, bat the shit buildup

Carlito FTW

Shit. I so missed tipsters because I forgot about this PPV. Uh, why is JR calling matches?

What's up with you and FTW lately?

I dont know FTW

Woot. My first PPV in 2.5 years that Ive been online for.

LOL at apple slight of hand

Woot? Sounds like you haven't been online at all in 2.5 years FTW. :shifty:

Get Well Soon, The One.

Bahgawd Thumb to the throat

Well that Ive Been in these forums for.

My God, nobody seems to be watching this PPV, if this thread is anything to go by. We're two matches in already.

Anyone notice that Maria announced the wrong winner to teh Carlito/Masters match? Or did I miss something?

Cap'n Steroid

Flair ain't getting his "one last Championship run" by the looks of it.

Crushed by the feeble Umaga.

Yeah you got him alright

I don't understand how flair goes from "one last run" to getting his ass whooped by some dumb samoan.

UMAAAAGAAAAA!

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

This show is a mess so far.

Go RVD

Well Trish might be out for a while.

Wait did JR say RVD was gonna leave with both?

Still on page 1 of this thread lol

There is no sense in giving RVD the Intercontinental title at this point.

This whole PPV has felt no more special than your standard, mediocre Raw show.

Kane grabbed ass on that chokeslam

I see RVD losing the IC Title to Chris Masters.

Evening gentlemen. What's happened so far?

Nothing worth mentioning.

Wow a PPV thread not even going 1 page yet.

Wait, Observer says Mickie had a match with Torrie. What happened to Trish?

What the fuck was that

This PPV is equally subdued and barmy.

The McMahon is God stuff has lost the plot, as has Kane.

But there's no excitement level whatsoever in this show.

This is Great American Bash-calibre so far.

You sound surprised, it is a single promotion PPV afterall.

That bad huh? Bummer, I'd figure after 'Mania alot of people would get drawn into this pay per view. Guess I'm just another victim of WWE marketing.
