Bye Bye Backlash: The 10 Greatest Matches at the Defunct Pay Per View
On April - 8 - 2010
WWF Backlash started in April 1999 as one of the final pay per views in the "In Your House" series. Starting in 2000, it became an annual event as the official post-Wrestlemania pay per view. Backlash was reknown for Wrestlemania rematches and extending fueds that seem to have reached their peak a month before.
Starting this month, it is being replaced by "Extreme Rules," a gimmick pay per view characterized by various forms of No Holds Barred/No Disqualification matches.
Backlash was a great event that will be missed by many, especially Shane McMahon, who was in the thick of all of Backlash's best matches.
In Honor of Backlash, I have compiled a list of the event's ten greatest and most memorable matches.
