My original post
 
So I was looking around the In Demand website, and found the poster for Backlash as well as a small preview:

Posted Image

Synopsis
 
Rivalry and rage explode in controversy as ECW and Smackdown join RAW at Backlash. Catch the intensity as John Cena, Batista, Undertaker, RVD, and Lashley face the consequences of their actions from WrestleMania. Don’t miss WWE Backlash, Sunday, April 29th, live at 8pm ET/5pm PT, only on Pay-Per-View. A World Wrestling Entertainment Production. Go to wwe.com for more details.


So are we looking at a RAW ppv that borrows from Smackdown and ECW, or is this simply a case of In Demand having an inaccruate synopsis, giving that WWE creative probably haven't even thought of Backlash yet?

With buyrates down, I like the crossing over and think there should be more of it.

In Demand has screwed up countless times. Don't run to the bank with this, although I wouldn't be surprised if this generally ended up being true.

Interesting to look back on the original post...I've been getting emails that Batista-Taker and HBK-Cena will main-event Backlash according to local reports in Atlanta...

Looking forward to seeing how this turns out...I won't be able to watch, but it'll be nice to have the three brands back on all the same PPVs...

I'm in fantasy booking mode...

Cena vs. HBK for the title...

Orton vs. Edge...

Taker vs. Batista (which I think may get the nod for the main-event)...

Hardys vs. Flair and Carlito...

Lashley vs. Umaga for the ECW title...

Mickie vs. Melina for the Women's belt...

And another match...

I'm not against it, but do you really think an "all SD" match is going to be put on an "all RAW" PPV?

Are we sure this is going to be a "RAW Presents... Backlash" deal, or a "RAW, Smackdown, and ECW Presents... Backlash".

Wasn't the WWE's press release officially saying that all PPV's would be a presentation of RAW, SmackDown, and ECW?

I was under the impression they were switching back to the way it was in 2002 with all co-brand events.

They are...

I've been getting emails from Georgians claiming that local advertisements are hyping title match rematches...both of them...

Boys

The commercials are for rematches of WWE title, WHC title...

the whole thing is about wrestlemania rematches...

did we already forget the announcement WWE just made a month ago?!?!

All brands....on All PPV's

This is a Raw ppv, so the main event and most of the matches will be Raw

Judgment Day is a SD ppv, therefor they will get the bulk of the matches and the main event.

It does say at the bottom of the poster, though, that it's being presented by all three brands...

No complaints by me if they're going to start doing that!

Me neither...

I wouldn't mind if they kept the general format of having Raw and SD PPVs, but if they are going to do so many PPVs, they may as well up the quality and just go back to the way it was before single branded events existed...

How true is this and on how many levels!

So, it's shaping up to be a solid PPV, thus far. That 4-way could be kick ass!

Indeed, the fatal four way could be kick ass, then again it could be horrible. If the match is to make John cena look like a god in the match and everybody else is just in it to get viewers to buy the ppv.

That's the pitfall, to be sure.

I guess this is barely a distant hope, but gee...it sure would be nice if maybe we got a little surprise and someone besides Cena won the match?

:rolleyes:

He's better that way. Hungry and "in the hunt"...preferably with a bit of a chip on his shoulder.

Heh, I gotta go back pretty far don't I? The brief Edge title run I s'pose...*shrugs*

I guess I'm imagining more than anything else. Let me rephrase it then:

Cena would be better "in the hunt/hungry" and with more of a chip on his shoulder.

I don't see Superman losing the title anytime soon. I'm figuring if he does he'll either win it before SummerSlam or at SummerSlam. If he loses it, hopefully Edge wins it; he is the number one heel right now.

How the heel does Cade/Murdoch get on a co-branded PPV when they could never get on a RAW PPV? Not that I'm complaining, I like the team.

To relate to him chasing the title.
I liked him best when he was the united states champion over on smackdown, and he was facing the heel carlito in a feud.
Damn i loved that feud.

Wow, you liked that feud?

I did too, up until the whole "John Cena got stabbed/Jesus" part.

Anyone thinking we'll see some New Breed/Original action on this card. I'm guessing/hoping for an Extreme Rules Match with RVD & Sabu vs. Punk & Burke. That would make for a kick ass match.

I would like to see that ECW match involved in Backlash, however i don't think it will be seeing as Bobby lashley is from ECW and In Vince's mind he is ECW.

I'm not sure what to expect for the rest of the card...

I would like to see the continuation of the Originals-New Breed feud, but I think it'd be a nice addition to Judgment Day.

A women's title match, a US title match, and maybe a match b/t Kennedy and Finlay should be added to BL, imo
