I almost need to start my own topic for these so I can get some discussion going, rather than reading discussions from weeks ago.
Backlash 2002
Hulk Hogan is back to being classic Hulk Hogan. Triple H gets to put his belt on the line against Hogan.
Torrie Wilson is with Tajiri now? She looks super awkward here.
Tajiri vs. Billy Kidman
Lots of reversals early on, Kidman gets a hurricanrana to send Tajiri outside. Ooh, Tajiri stands outside and kicks Kidman who's in the ring, nice reach.
Backbreaker around the ringpost, that's something I've never seen before. Almost a tarantula, but Kidman pushes out. Sunset flip setup turned around and now he gets the tarantula!
Springboard flip into a dropkick! Tajiri with a suplex and bridge and flip into a different bridge. Kidman's kicking out.
Here comes the shooting star press, Tajiri moves. Kick to the face, Kidman kicks out again. Powerbomb, Tajiri kicks out this time. Another powerbomb but Kidman gets sprayed in the face, Tajiri with the pin.
Michael Cole wants to interview Tajiri for some reason, so Tajiri speaks in Japanese.
Oh hey here's Bradshaw and Ron Simmons, they're not using the Faarooq name here.
"X-Pac still sucks" sign in the crowd. Kevin Nash is suspended for some reason. X-Pac is wearing Kane's mask for some reason.
Scott Hall vs. Bradshaw
I hope we see some fallaway slam wars here.
X-Pac is trying to get involved, here's that APA music and Faarooq comes out to neutralize X-Pac.
"APA" chants from the crowd. Bradshaw with a few shots and then they're saying "X-Pac sucks". Hall rolls out of the ring and right into Faarooq.
Hall is working away with soem open-handed slaps. Bradshaw punches back, clothesline from hell! Cover, X-pac puts Hall's foot on the rope.
X-pac getting destroyed by both APA guys, Hall hits a low blow and pins Bradshaw. Aw, no fallaway slams at all?
Vince is telling Ric Flair how terrible employees are. crowd is going "WOOOO"
Trish Stratus vs. Jazz
Molly comes out instead of Jazz? She looks way different now for some reason. She comes out to beat up Trish. Oh, and out comes Jazz.
Trish is getting in more offense here, she gets a hurricanrana off the corner and a few clotheslines. Jazz hits a powerbomb though.
Stratusfaction gets caught, Jazz with a slam. Boston crab, Jazz turns it to an STF. Trish can't handle the submission moves, she taps out.
Here's another post-match interview, who's this guy? Jazz doesn't even answer him, these interviews are going fantastically.
