WWE Backlash 2020: THIS IS THE GRATING SHOW!

Good Morning!
Eamonn Here hoping you are here after not playing a drinking game for everytime Someone said Greatest match Ever or Greatest Show last night, because if you did, well,....
You Are Already Dead" / "Omae Wa Mou Shindeiru" | Know Your Meme

Preshow and Apollo Crews Push is real...why? new Music with Lyrics! Apollo Retains the Us Championship with a win over Andrade. Now Andrade can go back to bed or wherever he hid during his paper Championship reign!

To the Show Proper and we start with a 3 team tag match for the Women's Tag Belts against Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross, the IIconics and the Champions Sasha Banks and Bayley, and is HEYKAYLA!'S new gimmick is that she is an Idiot? I mean The Champions are about to go out for there entrances and you are out there asking stupid Questions that you could have asked After the Match! Kayla, I think you are not Even A Real Jouralism! Anyway good pacing until Sasha caught Bliss in the most Deadly of Moves...THE FUCKING ROLL-UP!

Following up was the Sheamus and Jeff Hardy Match and Despite the tastelessness from Smackdown, this was a Competitive Back-And-Forth Match! It was also a greatest Hits Match. Jeff hitting all his signatures and Sheamus Hitting his! But in the end, Sheamus Brogue Kick Jeff...like a Bad Habit!

Then we had not one but 2 Garbage matches. Asuka vs "The Annoying Potato" NYEHNYEHNYEHNYEHNYEH-NIA JAX! Went to A Count-out! And Braun retained universal championship when the Gobshite from Mtv and Johnny "I Will Personally Give the last Brick to Tr**p when he Builds the wall!" Morrison, turned on each other when Miz' Pin was broken, by Morrison. This Distraction was all the window the champ needed!

Things Improved with the match for the wwe Championship against Bobby Lashley, Who sprang into action on the behest of the Mastermind planning of One MVP! Bobby latched on the Masterlock (because that's what it is, and i will not correct myself!) before the bell rang and Drew sold it like he just inhaled Poison! Lashley looked Great...until for storyline purposes....THE TAPEWORM Crawled out! Lana's Distraction cost Lashley the Title. Can we please Fire Lana already? The WWE does not need A second Sable! One was bad enough!

The Raw Tag Team Championship match was cancelled due to the time constraints of the pre-recorded Main Event...Which was "Edited with Dramatic Camera Angles and Enhanced Sound for you Viewing Pleasure" This Enhanced Sound was a White Noise Machine that made the Arena sound like it was Haunted by a more excited crowd. This was not a good choice as when the match settled down the White Noise sounded like...well White Noise... and considering that wwe is shown live after Midnight in Ireland, The background Noise may have being Whalesong or A lullaby! I would like to say though, the tribute to Howard Finkel-the Spotlight on his MSG Microphone and the recording of him announcing Randy Orton and Edge, that was classy! The match itself was too long for my liking, but It showed that Edge can Forgo the Chairshots and really Wrestle and Orton could really hang if he wanted to, Allusions to past feuds were added, Orton Using a pedigree and rock Bottom, while Edge used his Partner's Unprettier. In the End of this Grueling Match, Orton Took the Low Road and Kicked Edge in the Love-Spuds and followed up with the Punt. I'm told that During this Match Edge's Shoulder was torn during the first fall to the outside. Thankful it was not the neck!

Well That's it!

I am, after Wednesday taking a much needed Sabbatical. I will be back Reviewing on the 1st of next month on Bogger Box Office. Here though, Unless plans change, i doubt i will be doing anything wrestling related til Summerslam. See you soon and remember to stay safe!
