Backlash Results and Impressions

[Professor S]

The Big Question: We know Goldberg is going over, but will Goldberg sell for The Rock seeing that he's retiring? Me no think so, but lets see.

Ugh. Good God. I hope The Rock didn't throw his back out carrying that lousy hump to a tolerable match. I literally have not seen anyone carried like that in years. The Rock made Goldberg look like a monster. He sold like crazy and played the coward through most of the match, and then basically jobbed out to Goldberg in one of the last matches, if not the last match of his amazing career.

The worst part? Its all for nothing. The crowd was at least 75% pro Rock and were BOOING Goldberg throughout the match and I'd have to say 90% of the crowd were against him at the end. It was funny listening to Coach try and convince us that the crowd loved him. Yet another experiment fails miseraby. The WWE needs to cut their losses now and get rid of him, considering he's a disease backstage.

Winner: Goldturd

Overall this was a below average showing for the WWE. The early and mid-card were good, even very good, but the top of the card was lacking in workrate, but more importantly the booking was absolutely horrible. You were left with the feeling that you could have skipped the PPV and not missed much of anything in the main event angles. The Rey Mysterio spot was amazing to see live, though. Definitely catch it on TV this week.
