Was very refreshing seeing one crossrhodes do the job. That move needs some rehabilitation considering he hit like 9 of them all told on Roman at Mania.
This was the performance that Jey Uso needed after his stinker at WrestleMania. He showed he can pull off a big time singles match and he really needed that
To sole blame Kairi for not having the best chemistry with Jade but not calling out Jade's complete lack of selling at times is hypocritical. I'm rooting for Jade, because she has everything but experience. That being said, she looked lost and confused at times and to not address that is somewhat condescending. Overall a fine match, which lost me during that stretch but turned around at the end.
Hard disagree. Just because the crowd is loud doesn't actually make them good. It's like... The difference between someone watching a horror movie, and like, screaming or gasping when something scary happens, and someone narrating everything they see on screen the whole time. This crowd was the second one. After a while it just got unbearable. I honestly muted the rest of the show about half way through Priest vs Jey.
I feel like this would be a 3 star show without that piping hot crowd. They were absolutely insane throughout both nights. I wish I loved the show more, but I just wasn't too invested.
Agreed! Kairi, Osuka and Bianca carried that match! Jade looked fresh from the performance center! Almost as if she isn’t dominating she doesn’t know what to do! I fully disagree with the guys on this one..
Women's tag had some rough edges, but it was waaaaay more entertaining than Damian and Jey. Kairi had a lot of ups in the match, including taking some incredible bumps.
I rarely disagree with you guys, but man women's tag was match of the night for me. All four looked great, KW got booked strongly, and Jade got extended ring time and showed up. Plus the crowd added a star to every match.
Let me preface this: I was a major fan of wrestling back in the 90’s.. attitude era to me is easily the greatest and I watched most of it! I lost touch after the switch from WWF to WWE and well before “super Cena” started his reign… so take my ratings with a tub of salt! lol… just a “below casual” fans opinion here…. Match 1: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 1/2 This was fantastic! What a start! Start with something that’s so hot it cannot be any thing else but opener! Do I wish RKO would’ve gone over here? Sure.. but debuting another Bloodline member just furthers the story as opposed to ending it.. looking forward to this feud building! Match 2: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Loved this match! All 3 ladies felt as if they deserved to be there and all 3 felt as if they deserved to win! The crowd was ON FIRE making it that much better! A few spots weren’t “perfect” which is what kept it from being right there with the opener. Match 3: ⭐️⭐️1/2 mainly due to priest looking weak while simultaneously making jey look super weak; jey hit 7 of his “finishers/sugnatures” and couldn’t get it done while those same moves “killed” JD and Finn? priest in ring work is sub par.. I genuinely want someone to explain how and why I’m wrong about him.. Match 4: ⭐️⭐️ ⭐️1/2 These ladies were fantastic! All 4 came in and left looking GREAT! I will say Jade is noticeably “green”… even still, her moves looked “big” and she will be able to carry that “mystique” after this match… Bianca and the kabuke (sorry if I misspelled that) warriors carried this match though and that’s why I stopped at 3 1/2. Match 5: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I want to start with how awesome this match was! The crowd, the spots, the in ring work, fantastic!! AJ showed he hasn’t lost anything.. Cody showed he’s up to carrying that title and being the face of the company… with that said, I will say it was predictable… as were the rest of the matches on the card outside of the first one… hopefully the WWE now starts putting matches together that don’t feel as predictable…
What I love about Aj and Cody's match was how they tried to build up the finisher. The match was pretty much who ever hit their best move won the belt.
Woah whats this? I just finished watching the show and now we get these star rating immediately? Couldnt ask for it to be any fresher than it is now. So fresh, even Gordon Ramsay would be proud
As much as i love wwe i lik the fast paced and hard hitting style brought from aew. Wwe is much safer with 1-2 big spots where aew has like 5-6 per match. If cody can bring that style for his matches it would be so dope. I dont want it for everyone just the indy wrestlers who can handle the harder hitting moves. Cody, AJ, KO, Ilja Gunther those type of wrestlers
To be fair the crowd slowed everything down And it was really out of control in the Cody match where I'm not even sure if the wrestlers could hear themselves think. The crowd level worked for the other matches but it Hurt the final match, killing it with their love. I like Cody very much until this point but with styles they just didn't feel like a heavy weight match, Together both guys are too small. That feeling destroyed the match for me and I would not give it a very high rating at all since way to slow to boot. I'm probably being stupidly biased and it doesn't help that I've been watching Historical competitive matches to osprey at dynasty. Sometimes the look matters a lot, So my favorite match of the bunch is easily Cargill With by far her best match to date. Cargill Going to be greater than Chyna easily. Her intentions to outdo Schwarzenegger and the Rock Have a long way to go, but she's going to be great to follow as long as WWE keeps protecting this golden goose From laying her eggs in the ring haha.
The ratings are way off because their was no way in hell priest vs jey was four stars. And even if you count that weird ref & Kairi spot the women's tag match was no worst than a 3 star match or no higher than a 3 & 1\4 match. I just rewatch the match & kairi's chemistry with Bianca was nowhere near as bad as what Steve was saying or bad at all. This was probably Kairi & bianca's best match chemistry together since the Mae young classic or nxt. It just seems like steve is unjustly hating Kairi for no reason like he has a lot lately 😑. And that dive shouldn't be on Kairi at all it should be on Bianca for not being more far back to catch her right or move up if she is to far from Kairi. The only massive botch I saw that's not being called out like Kairi is being called out for was jade sold kairi's destino like shit.
I thought aj vs cody ending with just one finisher was great. Both were already put through lots of damage to the point where any finisher would be the end. I think that psychology is missing in wrestling alot
The DiabeticMan star ratings for Backlash France are cold as ice cream as I was away this weekend, but at least it will be hotter than those *OTHER GUYS* : Randy&KO/Bloodline: 4 (reminded me of the Sami and KO vs JD street fight at Payback last year, what a brawl) Bayley/Stratton/Naomi: 3.75 (some fun moments throughout, marked out at the 1D spot) Priest/Jey: 3.5 (Jey’s entrance was something else) Belair&Cargill/Kabuki Warriors: 3 (some clunky moments, but the crowd didn’t mind at all. The Jaded to Kari was great) Cody/AJ: 4.5 (loved this wrestling match, AJ had his best WWE match in years! That phenomenal chant from the crowd was great, made it feel very big time)
My star ratings R-KO VS New Bloodline: 4.5 stars Women’s Triple Threat: 3.75 stars World Heavyweight Championship: 3.5 stars Women’s Tag Titles: 3.25 stars WWE Championship: 5 stars
Guys, the show was less than 7 hours ago, and we're getting hot, fresh, buttery, and delicious star ratings already?!?! I mean, how can...THOSE OTHER GUYS...possibly compete???
My star ratings Solo and Tama vs Randy and Kevin: 4.25 Stars Bayley vs Naomi vs Tiffany: 3.75 Stars Jey vs Damien: 4.25 Stars Women's Tag: 2.25 Stars Cody vs AJ: 4.75 Stars
Kairi is a fish out of water as a heel she looked so sharp in her recent Stardom run. She's at her best as an underdog babyface their not doing her any favours.
This show was phenomenal. But jesus either Kairi needs to go down to NXT, or she needs to go back to Japan because she is phoning in the fuck out of everything. It seems like she doesn't care anymore. She was a beast in NXT, went back to Japan and killed it, and now she is sloppy as hell. Like idk what is going on, but something has to give before she injures someone
A very predictable yet equally solid PPV. The in-ring pretty much compensated for the predictability factor which is perfectly fine. Not every PPV has to be shocking. A solid 6.5/10 in my book.
No the match with Joshua 2 and 3/4 Stars. He didn't look strong to me. They always have him there as the fall guy. Main Event Jobber Uso, as usual. No it does not justify the number one draft pick for Raw. They got him looking more like shinsuke. They always put Joshua in these championship matches just so he can take a loss. Having him lose all the time doesn't make him look strong, they make him look weak.
Have you seen her in Japan/Stardom? Heard so much great from there (not watched any myself). Maybe she just doesnt really gel with a more American style? idk. To say she never has been good is going too far though.
@@Keeperodd I meant she has never been good in WWE. What are her classic matches? Does she have any? I watched her match against against Mercedes which was good only because Mercedes sold her butt off and carried Kairi.
@@android82synthwaveShe has never been good? I don't normally respond or reply to comments but i had to respond to this garbage ass take🤦. Because if your saying she's never been good that just means you haven't seen a lot of her or your just flat out lying because she's had plenty of great matches. Like kairi vs io shirai, Kairi vs mayu iwatani, Kairi vs meiko satomura, kairi vs act yasukawa, kairi vs hiroyo matsumoto, kairi vs Tessa blanchard, kairi vs Dakota kai, kairi vs Bianca blair Mae young classic, kairi vs Toni storm, kairi vs shayna baszler, kabuki warriors vs team kick, kabuki warriors vs golden role models, kairi vs bayley, kairi & tam vs cosmic Angels, kairi vs saya kamitani, kairi vs starlight kid kairi vs tam nakano & kairi vs utami. I'm pretty sure theirs more but these are the good Kairi matches on the top of my head.
I really liked the main event, because they didnt resort to finisher spam to artifically make the match more exciting.
Was very refreshing seeing one crossrhodes do the job. That move needs some rehabilitation considering he hit like 9 of them all told on Roman at Mania.
This was the performance that Jey Uso needed after his stinker at WrestleMania. He showed he can pull off a big time singles match and he really needed that
Yup,priest helped the cause too since he's a great individual makes others Look good,
Warms my heart seeing Rhea still holding the title on the banner. Never update please.
This is the turn around those…. Other guys could only dream of

Kairi and the ref completely got lost out there which derailed there match for a few minutes
Marcus kairi sucks.
That crowd was insane 🔥
International Crowds tend to go harder because WWE being there is more special and rare.
I wasn’t too keen on the chant they did after every near fall, but otherwise they were one of the best crowds ever for WWE
Hard disagree. Just because the crowd is loud doesn't actually make them good.

I can't believe how hot and fresh these star ratings are.
That main event was electric. That match was 5 stars in my opinion. The crowd reaction alone puts it up there.
I feel like this would be a 3 star show without that piping hot crowd. They were absolutely insane throughout both nights. I wish I loved the show more, but I just wasn't too invested.
Kairi took 70% of the bumps that match. I thought she was pretty good overall this match
Me too . . . Much better than Jade
@@quothetheraven79she’s fantastic. she’s asked to do a lot and i think she’s great. i hope she’s able to do more after backlash
Agreed! Kairi, Osuka and Bianca carried that match! Jade looked fresh from the performance center! Almost as if she isn’t dominating she doesn’t know what to do! I fully disagree with the guys on this one..
Women's tag had some rough edges, but it was waaaaay more entertaining than Damian and Jey. Kairi had a lot of ups in the match, including taking some incredible bumps.
The French crowd makes me want to see more events there. A Wrestlemania would be absolutely nuts with that crowd.
I just burnt my tounge on these fresh ratings but so worth it
Nous n'avons pas besoin de ces... _autres gars_
(French for "We don't need those... _other guys_ " )
Popped when I saw the translation!
Every time Steve puts his 1's up it looks like he's doing Sabu's thing 😄
Put a turban on him he's basically Grandpa Sabu
I rarely disagree with you guys, but man women's tag was match of the night for me. All four looked great, KW got booked strongly, and Jade got extended ring time and showed up.
Plus the crowd added a star to every match.
If the crowd added a star to every match, IMO that brings the women's tag match up to...*checks notes* half a star.
@@TheAcademizer that's just like, your opinion maan.
4.5 stars for me. We all biased
It's a good time to enjoy wrestling across the board.
Pretty sure Kairi was out on her feet for a bit after that clothesline. Pretty sure it was to be a double duck.
Jade punched her in the face when she was moving at speed she needs to be more careful.
My hands are burning!!!!
Kairi is a better singles wrestler as an underdog Babyface imo

Kicking out of a burning hammer at 1 was certainly… a choice…
When I saw that, my first thought was “New Japan purists must be pissed”
I loved that moment because it was insane, but I can hear Kenta Kobashi's ghost kicking an arena to the ground right now
Don't start...
I loved it@@brentsmith9134
If that was kenny or ospreay doing that boy the iwc would be on flames
I wonder if the weird miscommunication in the women's tag team match was due to the noise of the crowd.
Can we include a star rating for the crowd into these? French crowd was pure fire all night long ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ from me
I’ll NEVER understand why no one is more critical about Jade . . . I see no improvement at all

The France crowd put the United States crowd to shame. Wrestling event with a World Cup Finals energy. I loved it. U.S. needs to take notes
one's up for Cody
How hot that crowd was for Jay..yeah he's the number 1 pick 😎
tbh i blame the ref for the mess up
Golly! These star ratings are piping hot fresh out the oven
And Larson just like f it I'm trying to vacation
I think jey isn't a good single wrestler he is better as a tag team
True but i think damian gave him his best solo match since roman hiac
And they weren't that great as a tag. They just didn't have any competition for the top spot
Cody Rhodes is Steve's Tribal Chief.
Kairi is a fish out of water as a heel she looked so sharp in her recent Stardom run. She's at her best as an underdog babyface their not doing her any favours.
Melter always talks about how important crowds are and how annoying finisher spam is but watch him under rate every single match on this card
This show was phenomenal. But jesus either Kairi needs to go down to NXT, or she needs to go back to Japan because she is phoning in the fuck out of everything.

The kairi spot was the refs fault
These ratings can't get any fresher than this!
So fresh is it safe?
Same day? Much faster than those OTHER GUYS
Didn't mention how Jades performance was fn terrible.. shame and safe review.. disappointing
What's wrong with hot tags? Claudio Castagnoli has the best hot tags.
Same day, eat your heart out those other guys.
Fresh from the oven
Putting up my comment before those...OTHER GUYS 👀
Do diss track star ratings
Lowkey should turn Cody into hulk hogan and starts codying up and kicking out early 🤔😂
Great show overall the crowd made it a 5 star show
Me when those other guys 😲
Not the Kairi slander
a six star rating for the French crowd

27 minute match. Disco inferno won't watch it. Just Glenn's loss
Jade cargil is chyna 2.0 including in ring talent
Personally I thought every match was ok but I assume they gave an extra star because of the crowd. Believe most were 3 stars, not bad but not great.
Bloodline vs R-KO -3.75
Bayley/Naomi/Tiffy- 3
Priest vs Uso- 2.5
Jade/Bianca vs warriors- 2
Rhodes vs Styles- 4.25
