I totally disagree - that match was TERRIFIC!! Arguably better than the Mania match. I guess you just can't please some people. I thought Cena (and I am not a Cena mark by any stretch) worked his ass off - as did HBK. And a clean finish! I thought it would last 5 minutes and end in a run-in. I loved it. I'm going to rewatch it, and I never do that with TV main events. Y'all are crazy if you didnt like that.
The Edge/Orton match was a joke on us internet people. They never intended to give us the match - just screwing with people who read the Orton reports over the weekend. Edge is still hurt - which is why he hasn't wrestled on tv in over two months.
As for Backlash - after yesterday, why order it? I saw a better match than I'll see on Sunday. the rest of the card - ehh.
Agreed through and through. Cena has put on the best two matches of his career in his last two main events. Of course, these matches just happen to occur against a guy who, IMO, is the greatest worker of all-time. I'm still not going to be a Cena mark anytime soon, but his matches with HBK have been incredible. I guess all HBK matches are incredible though when given enough time.
And I'm not sure why there is so much hate for this match on here. Looking around the IWC, it is basically unanimous that this match was a classic. Even the famed Wrestling Observer said it was exceptional.
Also, it will be interesting to see the TV ratings. If their good, hopefully WWE will continue to give us long main events on free TV.
As for Backlash, maybe Edge could stay hurt and Orton get fired so we can see HBK/Cena 3 for the belt. Or better yet, maybe Cena can fall off a cliff by Sunday so Edge and HBK can battle it out.
