This one's kind of a two-for-one dealie related to upcoming events as not only is it the first Backlash, but technically the last In Your House of that 1995-1999 PPV lineage.

Damn, just rewatched this one like a month ago.
The cut Foley gets on his hand in the Boiler Room Brawl makes me squeamish.

I thought the same for years re: the IYH name, but my memory must have been hazy, because the IYH name, supposedly, was only used on promotional posters for the event, and was dropped for the event itself. Officially, St. Valentine's Day Massacre is considered the last show under the In Your House name, which just sounds plain weird to me, because I always could've sworn that Backlash was the last one. |

The Rock's last show as a heel for nearly 4 years. Hard to believe.

You can tell JR had recently had a palsy attack. He had returned full time around Mania 15, so yeah, it was still obvious. |

Even though I was around at the time, it's still weird for me to see pre-APA Acolytes.
