J12, I completely agree about the crowd. I was stunned by how amazing the crowd was tonight. I never really paid attention to advertisements or the very beginning so I didn't catch where they were. But during the Swagger/Christian match I saw how electric the crowd was and I immediately thought " Where are they?" Stunned to find out Providence. They were unglued the entire night. They really deserve another PPV within the next year or so. Thanks I was there and it was GREAT !!!! I wasn't sure how we would come across on tv but from what everyone is saying we blew it up !!! I was sitting on the side where Cena went thru the light and it was funny becuase 3 matches before the Cena one they where rerigging the light to explode and changing out the glass to plexi.....Truely scary moment after the show ended they threw up the X sign and alot of people /wrestlers came out...we had friends that where on the other side and saw Cena go into the light as the smoke cleared there was a peice of the plexi trapping Cena inside real awkwardly and he wasn't moving Edge, CM Punk as well as Shad where alll out there with worried looks...So I actually jumped on to see if anything has been reported so far about Cena's REAL CONDITION ?! The FU into the crowd was sick (you could tell they where wrestlers if you were there but it still was great....Hardy could have been better,Steamboat forgetting how to do the figure four was classic( could you guys see that on tv ?) and Randy winning was ....PRICELESS !!!!

Let's see how long it takes for Triple H to rob Orton again.

The PPV seemingly got a lot of fan interaction from what I saw. I dunno if it was micced in or not but it does seem that WWE should really take a better look at where they do PPVs. Seriously the crowd alone at WM kinda killed it for me even though I did enjoy the work.

umm okay? it's all just speculation because who ing knows when it'll happen. it's not like people are ordering the PPV because they legitmately think tonight's the night. Punk has already said he plans to make the match in Chicago in a regular singles match. I rather this happen

Backlash was pretty good tonight. Christian defeating Swagger for the title is awesome, pretty good match too. Jericho vs. Steamboat was pretty good also, I didn't enjoy it as much as their short encounter at WM25, but it was still good. Lionsault attempt caught into an Electric Chair which was then countered into a roll-through Victory Roll transitioned into the Walls of Jericho was a pretty smooth spot. Kane vs. Punk was good too, Punk did a good job working on Kane's arm through out the match. Chokeslam countered into the Divource Court was good, glad WWE didn't do the typical Chokeslam countered into a DDT, that spot is so ing old and happens in every Big Show/Undertaker encounter. Hardy vs. Hardy was alright, the finish ruled, such a good idea. The match itself didn't top their previous two matches in my opinion. 6 Man Tag was decent, nothing amazing or anything. The finish was pretty good, I can see them now beginning a feud between Batista and Triple H over Batista basically costing Triple H the title. Edge vs. Cena was pretty good, a lot of sick spots which I did not expect. The FU into the crowd was pretty badass, definitely not something I'd expect WWE to do and I can't believe Edge didn't clip his head on the edge of the barricade from getting thrown from that far. The Chokeslam off the stage through the spot light was cool, but when I first watched it I didn't understand what he went through, I thought he just went through one of those electrical boxes, but now that I know he went through glass that makes it even cooler. I'm pretty shocked that all three World Titles changed hands tonight, I believe this is a first for WWE?

Perfect night:
Randy Orton is WWE Champion. Edge is World Heavyweight Champion (although obviously until he drops it to whoever sucks Vince off first). Christian is ECW Champion. John Cena lost. Triple H lost. CM Punk lost.
Couldn't be better.

I'm intrigued at how you came to that conclusion considering that both of the two stalest guys in WWE not named Dave Batista will be out of the main event scene for what looks to be a few months. Seriously, when was the last time that neither Cena nor Triple H occupied the main event scene? 2001? Well I am not talking about after tonight or post-Backlash ... I am talking about the last few months and including Backlash. Orton and HHH wrestled about a zillion times in the last 2-2 and a half years, thus having them feud just bored the hell out of me. They added some interest with the good promo's leading up to WM25, but the match fell flat, just feeling like the same old HHH/Orton bout they have been working for years. With that said, the thought of a six man tag match with those two plus Legacy, Batista and Shane McMahon, did not intrigue me either. And Edge has wrestled Cena also about a zillion times in the last several years, so I felt no need to see that. Now that Edge and Orton are champs, IF HHH and Cena step back from the title scene, things can pick up again, in my opinion. ain't this the truth. With Orton, Christian, and Edge as the WWE's champions right now, things can pick up again. I feel the same way about how un-refreshing the WWE product has been as of late. Things that inspire hope for the future is the Matt Hardy heel turn (for me at least) and every championship title change that happened last night. Things are going to start happening now that HOPEFULLY is new and refreshing. If not, then oh man...

That was a ing amazing PPV. From start to finish (depending on your opinion of Santina I imagine, haha) it was entertaining and the matches themselves were fantastic. This begs the question of why Backlash was better than Wrestlemania....25, no less.

The Card at Backlash could easily have been the Card for Wrestlemania, only replace Punk V Kane with MITB and add HBK V Taker of course, and you'd probably have got one of the all time best Wrestlemania's.
There's no reason why they couldn't have done the 6 Man Tag at Wrestlemania now you think about it, had Batista's Return Match included, the way Orton one the Title last night was how it should have gone down at Wrestlemania.. all the comotion going on Ringside and the sudden RKO, followed by the punt on the biggest Stage of them all to win the Title. Would have a memorable Match.
I think what the WWE need to do now, is start planning way ahead, instead of doing what they are doing at the moment and quite obviously booking PPV's and Rivalry's as they go along, or a mere few weeks before hand. If they were to already book PPV's up to Summerslam from now, it could be one of the best Shows in ages.

I think if WWE can keep putting out PPV's like Backlash, this will be a really good year . I was happy with all 3 title changes, Orton most of all, about time Christian gets a title already, and Edge, well, that match was good and the spot with Cena and Show was insane, but still happy Edge won.

WHAT THE HELLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE EDGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HES SO GODDAMN BORING AND DOESNT DESERVE 9 FREAKIN WORLD TITLES!!!! ARGH! Kane did not deserve the ECW title, get over it. Yes he did - and no, Edge certainly does not deserve to be a 9 time World Champion - that's ridiculous.. As for the actual PPV - I'm so pleased they took the belt off Jack Crapper... and Punk should've gone over Kane, with the GTS..

WHAT THE HELLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE EDGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HES SO GODDAMN BORING AND DOESNT DESERVE 9 FREAKIN WORLD TITLES!!!! ARGH! I too am glad that we have the honor and privilege to be graced with a fantastic wrestler such as Edge. He sure is excellent at everything he does and deserves all nine of his title reigns.
