Where can I find the results of the WWE Backlash 2009 pay-per-view?
Looking at the Backlash card makes me think about the Vince Russo theory of booking: People like swerves, so we’ll just give ’em a ton of swerves. People like title changes, so we’ll just give ’em a ton of title changes. People like stipulations, so we’ll just give ’em a ton of stipulations. And so on. The problem with this type of booking, obviously, is that it’s classic hot-shotting — and when you do anything too often, people get sick of it very quickly, and nothing means anything anymore. Between the recent moving around amongh the brands and the stipulations added to the top three matches on the show, this is a show that seems way more complicated than it needs to be. A few swerves and stipulations here and there is a nice hook for a Pay-Per-View, but give me too many, and I’m lost, and I don’t care. That being said, here’s my thoughts on the card: Last Man Standing for the World Heavyweight Title: John Cena vs. Edge. I’ll say it again — “Last Man Standing” is the stupidest stip
-Edge defeated John Cena in a Last Man Standing match to win the World Hvt. Championship when Big Show interfered. -Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, and Ted DiBiase defeated Triple H, Batista, and Shane McMahon in a six-man tag when Orton pinned Hunter to win the WWE Title. -Jeff Hardy over Matt Hardy in an “I Quit” match. -Kane pinned C.M. Punk. -Chris Jericho beat Ricky Steamboat. -Christian defeated Jack Swagger to win the ECW Title. Sources: http://www.prowrestling.net/artman/publish/WWE/article1005602.
