On this date, 25 years ago, World Wrestling Entertainment (also known as World Wrestling Federation) presented Backlash, a pay per view that started my journey as a wrestling fan.
I remember watching this on a VHS Tape (if you know, you know) via Channel 4 here in the U.K at that time, the Backlash logo and stage from 2000 will always be one of my favourites, alongside WrestleMania 17.
Having recently watched Backlash on NETFLIX, there was a realisation that I've watched and followed the careers of the majority of these great wrestlers that were on this match card.
Till this day, the best moment for me as a wrestling fan is and will always be the crowd's non-stop cheers when Stone Cold Steve Austin's music hit during the Rock vs Triple H. WWF Championship main event.
The commentary from the legendary Jerry Lawler & Jim Ross, when Austin hit Triple H, Shane and Vince with a Steel Chair, added to the spectacle, this led to The Rock ultimately winning the Championship. Austin driving out to the ring with DX's burned bus and then joining Rock in the ring, to toast the title with a beer was a classic scene as well.
This was a great trip down memory lane, thank you for reading, be sure to check out the archives on this website.
