Backlash Preview

Ric Flair vs. Umaga :

Meh. Meh. MEH. Just the wrong thing to use Flair for. Umaga with a chicken-wing submission at 59:49 in an all-time classic. Or 5:03 in a sucky overlong squash. One of those two options, anyways.

Carlito vs. Chris Masters:

Calito grows on me all the time, Masters leaves me cold. So I will go for Carlito winning in an alright match.

Trish Stratus vs. Mickie James (WWE Women's Title):

Sense dictates that Trish gets her win back. However, this has been the best that the Women's Title scene has had for years. Possibly decades. So I will predict Mickie James holds onto the title in a strange manner.

Big Show vs. Kane:

I predict a toilet break. Kane has a movie to promote, Kane for the win.

Shelton Benjamin vs. Rob Van Dam (WWE Intercontinental Title )

Match of the night. Has to be, if it isn't something is very wrong with one of them. RVD to win, me to smile a lot.

Shawn Michaels & God vs. Vince McMahon & Shane McMahon: Let Vince get injured, let Shane do stunts, let Shawn wrestle and be fantastic, and let the God thing be as forgotten as possible. I actually predict I am wrong here, and we have a terrible religious angle overplayed even more.

John Cena vs. Edge vs. Triple H (WWE Title): Should be the second best match. I've actually enjoyed all the handicap matches they have built this up with, made a nice change how it all has been done. HHH for the title. Edge and Cena to end up in their own feud.

i fell asleep midway through this, goes to show how *yawn* it was.

carlito v masters - carlito seemed to take a bad blow to the head, there were some badly executed moves.

flair v umaga - started to nod off

stratus v james - oddly enough this woke me up, trish fell off the second turnbuckle to the outside seemed to hurt her arm, match quickly wrapped up as a result.

can't remember much else aside from the spirit squad getting involved in the michaels v mcmahons bout.

i think i'll tape the next one, disappointing again :(
