Show opens with Teddy Long trying to impress us by saying most of the gold is on the line. Mick Foley joins Micheal Cole at the announce desk. By putting all these titles up for grabs on a house show WWE is basically admitting that Backlash was a truly s**t PPV and they know that fact.
Tag Championship Match, John Morrison & The Miz vs Jimmy Wang Yang & Shannon Moore. I'll be honest, I didn't expect the title to change hands here before the bell went no matter how things have gone in recent weeks. I was right, Morrison won for his team retaining their titles - no shock there really, why would WWE want belts on an entertaining team that the people like?
Colin Delaney vs Vladimir Kozlov. What's the point of putting Delaney in yet another squash match, especially a match where Kozlov is never going to be over at any point? Kozlov could wear the stars & stripes as his ringwear, marry a blond American woman and farm grain in Iowa and STILL NOT get over in the WWE. He makes Lance Storm look emotive. Yet another s***ty win for Kozlov. For those who would sooner eat Vince's s**t than watch this match, tonight you were doing both!
Diva Tag Match, Victoria & Natalya vs Michelle McCool & Cherry. Natalya got the win. VERY boring match, Am I the only person who thinks McCool looks like she'd break in half if you slammed her too hard?
Mark Henry vs Nunzio. Another Squash match? Great, just what the show didn't need. Even with Nunzio bringing Big Show down to be in his corner I still didn't really believe he could win this match, cleanly or otherwise. Henry got the win. It's sad when a match is so bad it makes you want to watch Vladimir Kozlov again. THAT'S how bad this match was.
US Championship Title Match, MVP vs Matt Hardy. Why do they even bother contesting this title any more? It has zero prestidge, Even the old hardcore title & the million dollar title were bigger honours than this former WCW pile of s***e title. Hardy won, retaining his title. Yet again, no real shock there.
Tag Match, Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder vs Jesse & Festus (who weren't deemed important enough to warrant an introduction on tv). Does Jesse remind anyone else of the bastard lovechild of Mr Perfect & Owen Hart? Not a good match by anyone's standards. Hawkins won for his team.
Finlay vs Julio Dinero. Finlay won with Dinero jobbing bigtime. UTTER S**T that does not belong on tv & makes you wish you were watching Vladimir Kozlov. Yes, It was that bad!
They had announced a Heavyweight Championship title match, The Undertaker vs Great Khali but Vickie Guerrerro came out, cried boo hoo, saying choke holds were illegal and the match wasn't going to happen with the interest of the "wellbeing of the WWE Superstars" in mind and banned Taker's chokehold. BORING! Taker is told he's stripped of the title (so it's vacant then).
Khali is sent down to get the belt off Taker and it appears their match may be back on officially or not. Khali knew (as did everyone watching) that as soon as he leant over to get the belt he was going to get hit by Taker. It was also no shock that Ryder & Hawkins came from the crowd to steal the belt while he had the chokehold on Khali. A generally s**t house show with no surprises.
