Wasn't Scotty injured at this time?
Anyway Smackdown was solid, I think it needed some break-up in between the matches with some backstage segments but overall some of the feud beginnings and progression was good. Glad Rhyno is hardcore champ, an Eddie/Test feud should be interesting.
Anyway it's solid, I still think it needs some work, but that'll come in time. Anyway keep it up.

- RAW is WAR was a high point for the WWF as 9,031 fans were in attendence to see Rock gain a WWF title shot. - RAW is WAR picked up a 6.51 rating this week, amazingly the exact same as it was last week. - As announced on WWF.com, it wil be Rhyno doing double-duty as he will defend the the Hardcore Championship against Raven and team with Edge to face the APA. - The Dudley Boyz are currently off screen temporarily due to a minor elbow injury that WWF does not want to make major. Expect them to reappear sometime in a week to three weeks.

Rhyno being in two matches is intresting The IC and WWE title sounds good, Rock/Austin should be an epic, and whoever wins on Smackdown it will be an epic
Keep it up

Raw was great, that Main Event was awesome glad The Rock is taking on Austin at Backlash, hope Austin Retains, Rhyno v Raven sounded good, hope that Rhyno loses both of his Backlash matches though Hope it becomes Jericho v Benoit but Jericho v Angle would be quite good. Nice Show man, Keep it up...

Raw was a decent. The detail is nicely done. Glad you chose Rhyno to be Edge's new partner as if it was anyone else, except maybe Angle I would've rioted and I like how your booking Rhyno since I like him. The Eddie/Test feud is moving along nicely and is something I look forward to. I don't like Rocky pinning Taker in the main event though, it would've been better for him to be Trippers tbh. Overall solid stuff, I think you need to work on your booking at times but Backlash is looking solid nonetheless.

2001 was such a great year. Great show. The main event was so amazing. I loved it. Glad Rock won and he didn't get fired and I can't wait for his match at Backlash against Stone Cold. It'll be an awesome match! Great Show. The BL card looks good and I can't wait for it!

Rock didnt pin Taker, he pinned Austin, which is probably what you meant. Also, Eddie is feuding with Tazz not Test hehe. I understand mistakes

WWF Hardcore Championship: Rhyno vs. Faarooq Another match that was decent. The crowd loved this brawl straight up. Tthe only put-offs of it were the facts that Edge and Bradshaw were at ringside and got involved every time one of the wrestlers fell out to the floor. Rhyno slammed Faarooq with everything he could lay his hands on, but whatever it was, whether it of been a chair, an exposed turnbuckle pad, or even the steel steps or ring post, Faarooq always and I mean always kicked out before the three. Rhyno went to Gore Faarooq on the outside but went head first into the barricade, Faarooq covered but got a singapore cane shot to the head from Edge. Edge nailed Faarooq with a DDT onto the floor before taking down Bradshaw before Rhyno covered for the victory. However Raven came running through the crowd as he ran after Rhyno, up the ramp and into the backstage area. Rhyno eventually got away when Edge attacked Raven from behind and the Tag Team Champions got away! 74%
We head to the parking lot where we see the Undertaker walking across the road heading to the arena. The words 'Up Next' appear underneath Taker as he looks like he has something to say. We go to commercials. 79%
We return from the commercial break to hear 'Rollin' playing in the arena. Undertaker then walks out, for some reason without his signature motorcycle. He walks down the ramp and climbs into the ring before grabbing a microphone. He goes through the previous happenings, such as Kane getting chokeslammed and beaten down from Big Show and Eddie Guerrero and how he wished to of saved his little brother from them. He moves on to say how he has gotten tired of Triple H getting into his business and that he wants to end it on RAW is WAR next Monday. Taker moves on to say that he wants to do two things at once before challenging Triple H and Big Show to a tag match on RAW is WAR against himself and Kane. Triple H's theme hits the arena as he walks out and accepts the challenge! 88%
Ivory and Val Venis vs. Lita and Chyna A below-average match for SmackDown's standards. The crowd were into it but probably the least interested they'd been all night long. Lita seemed to fight Ivory alot whereas Chyna repeatedly took out Val. A short match but then again, that's what you'd expect from three women and a guy. The match ended with Val hitting Chyna with a Money Shot right after Ivory hit Chyna with the Poison Ivory. After the match however, the leader of Right To Censor felt like adding injury to insult as he nailed Lita in the skull with the steel chair. The Hardy Boyz run down the ramp once more, running off RTC before the Hardys and Chyna check on Lita as EMTs gather her also. 61%
A video hypes up the next match between Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit for the title shot at Backlash! 78%
Chris Benoit vs. Kurt Angle What a classic match for SmackDown, especially after having the crapfest known as the women/man tag match. Great mat wrestling dominated the whole course of the bout. The crowd were very impressed by these two men's showmanship and their skills. It makes you wish that every match the WWF had was the same as this valuable treasure. Benoit and Angle mixed submissions, reversing reversals from other reversals and blocking blocks from other blocks, you get the point. Angle found an opening and worked on Benoit's ankle, even almost making Benoit tap out to his own move, the Crippler Crossface. Benoit then gained some control and applied the Sharpshooter in on Angle, putting him on the edge of tapping out. Benoit sent Angle to the outside before the two traded blows on the ramp. Benoit hit Angle with a spinebuster and ran back to the ring but was too late. The referee declared the match as as double count out as Angle dragged Benoit back to the outside as the two brawled up the ramp, officials finally breaking it up. We go to commercials. 95%
Steve Austin vs. Chris Jericho A decent main event, the fans were very interesting in this thing. While the crowd were interested, the actual wrestling wasn't extremely too good. Austin seemed to have won this match with the first punch drawn. Austin worked on Jericho as a whole, pounding him with lefts and rights. Austin led his way to another method of attack as he went to work on the forehead of Jericho, obviously trying to get the blood out. Austin gave Jericho a botched elbow drop, almost causing Jericho to choke from the sharp elbow into the adam's apple. Austin set up for the Stunner but Jericho dragged him into the Walls of Jericho! Austin almost tapped but suddenly William Regal appeared on the apron. While the referee was busy with Regal, Austin had tapped several times. Jericho springboarded onto the middle rope and knocked Regal off of the apron with a dropkick. Y2J turned around to get hit by the Stunner! Austin covered and it was easily finished. Regal got back into the ring as the two heels stomped away at the Intercontinental Champion. However Y2J was saved as The Rock ran down the ramp and cleared the ring of Austin and Regal! Rock stares at Austin as we go off the air. 82%
Overall - 75%[/color][/center][/quote]

- SmackDown attracted a 5.90, which is 0.4 down from last week. - Expect a Japanese-style Nation of Domination to start sometime in the future. It is unknown at this time whether they will be face or heel, but it will probably begin once Kaientai gets a push. - Ultimo Dragon is expected to debut as a team with Tajiri this Sunday night on Heat.

- Sunday Night Heat brought on a 4.98, MTV are extremely impressed with the ratings thus far. - Ultimo and Tajiri's team plans have been dropped as the WWF are not happy with the reaction that the Light Heavyweight title division [mainly Dean Malenko and Crash Holly] have been getting from the audience. Odds are that they will get involved in the division after Backlash. - Jerry Lynn should be debuting on RAW is WAR after Backlash. He should be getting a lot of hype for his debut, most probably through video packages. - Backlash should get at most, two more matches added before April 29th on pay-per-view.
