I love it can be argued that it took the LWO and the whole damned island of Puerto Rico to stop JD. And they're more successful than the WCW version ever was. It's a shame Eddie's accident derailed the faction in WCW.

In my early 20s I used to travel to Puerto Rico often and witnessed some great matches like Brody/ Abdullah and Hansen /Colon. I am bummed out that I did not attend this show. Now is as good a time as ever to repost this, where I correctly predicted Bad Bunny’s rise as a wrestler. officialfan.proboards.com/thread/573476/ric-flair-bunny-music-video

A lot of celebrities come in and just do the basic stuff. Then somebody like Bad Bunny comes along and goes out there and steals the show. He deserves a lot of credit for taking this seriously and committing to giving the best performance he possibly can when he goes out there.

The best thing about the Triple H booking era is that he’s embraced clusterf***s.
Run-in heavy, weapon heavy, swerves and twist based attitude era main event matches but with better in-ring. When they nail it, it’s so exciting. Like Roman/Brock at Summerslam last year, I was jumpy I was so pumped after the match

1. Is this the first time Carlito has been a face in WWE?
2. Do they resign him?

Good fun. Particularly loved that table spot - great placement where all the crowd could see, great camera angle, great impact and sound, yet made really safe for both guys.
The Carlito/Vega/LWO involvement at the end was also good but especially that, once that was gone, they still told a story for three or four minute more rather than just one or two moves from Bunny and the pin.
Feel good for Priest. That's a genuine lifetime memory of a match.

Was super cool to see Savio get that pop at a big WWE show. He was just a guy in the WWE in the 90s but was awesome to see him get a God pop.

As a Puerto Rican, that was incredibly special from start to finish.

I remember he and Primo’s garbage bag pants era, and how Carlito wore arm sleeves because he didn’t feel like working out anymore (if my memory from Colt Cabana’s podcast over a decade ago is serving me right). Ironic because he really embraces the ‘body guy’ thing post-WWE.

I’m watching now and you’d think this was Rock/Hogan. Unbelievable.
This is going to help Priest in the long run, too. Same with Zelina. They felt like stars.

Its insane how much they've absolutely killed it with celebrity matches the last few years.
That match was pure insanity in the best possible way.

Bad Bunny and Logan Paul wrestle like video game wrestlers. They casually do the cool moves like twice in a row and make it look easy.
I love that Bunny to start the match just hits dude with a falcon arrow

Finally got around to watch WWE Presents: Backlash, A premium live event. Priest deserves some major kudos. It reminded me of when I was young and wrestled with my friends and I would go out of my way to put my friends over. Lol.

How is Bad Bunny so much better at selling than a majority of the main roster?

Yeah, I have to agree with everyone else. This should have been the main event. Bad Bunny is really showing to be one of the best celebrities to enter the ring. I loved seeing Carlito. Was always a fan of him.
