Great show!!!
Opener - Shelton v. Jericho - one of the best matches of the year so far! Shelton impressed me in teh ring tonight. I hope they string this program out until atleast Summer Slam.
Tag Title Match - Decent match. It did what it set out to do, get the Tag Teams airtime.
Last Man Standing - Benoit v. Edge - Great Match. Benoit and Edge did great. Hopefully this leads into a Edge v. Batista program.
Masterlock Challenge - I'm liking this guy. Trish should hire Chris Masters to beat the hell out of Kane.
Kane v. Mabel - Entertaining. One of Mabel most entertaining matches. Maybe they'll keep him around.
Hogan Match - Did what it was supposed to. Enjoyable. If you order to see this match you got what you wanted. Hogan doing what hogan does.
HHH v. Batista - Not as good as the WM match. Decent one of HHH weaker matches of the year. I'm happy Batista won. Batista v. Edge is what I'm hoping for.
Good show. I don't see how Judgment Day can top this.

Shelton/Jericho was definatly match of the night, with Benoit/Edge a close second. I could have done without Masters and Divas, and the Vis/Kane match was definatly disappointing. Apparently I'm the only person who doesn't like seeing Hogan beat the crud out of people, but that was in there too. Fun tag match, and a main event that while not the best, at least delayed the eventual 11-time championship for a while and gave Batista a short bit of cred. It wasn't a great PPV, but it had two great matches, two okay ones,a Hodan beating, and only one really disappointing match and a pointless segment. Plus more hints of Christian's eventual SmackDown exodus. Draftcity, here we come.

So what was Christian's surprise that he alluded to on Heat? Did he do a run-in or anything?

This was the best Raw only PPV I've seen in a while.
Christian did a rap. He "dissed" all the major main eventers. He got pops while doing it. Boy does he own.
Anyway, I thought Edge/Benoit was better than Jericho/Benjamin, but thats just me. Those two matches made the PPV, but the HBK/Hogan vs Daivari/Hassan match was good too.
Vis/Kane was meh, Batista/Trips was okay, better than WMXXI!, and Masters/Divas sucked.

Which I would love, because whoever loses, I win.

I thought Backlash was fine overall. Didn't care much for the Divas segment (why would we care about how Christy looks in a Divas magazine when we can see her NAKED in Playboy?), but everything else was fine. My biggest gripe was actually how after the Kane/Viscera match, Kane and Lita just left. Isn't the whole reason Viscera was hired by Trish was to take Kane out and prevent him from attacking her? So they get rid of Viscera, and she's wide open for an attack, and they just leave. Huh?
The show was good. I didn't think it was possible to stretch 6 matches out to three hours, but they did by gum.

I really hated the fact Batista didn't get to kick out of the Pedigree, cos HHH is so going to use it as the basis of a 15 minute rant on Raw to get another rematch

Was anyone actually expecting Kane vs Vis to be good?
Not a bad show.
Seems to be true there going to drag out another 'cure for insomnia' match between HHH and Batista.
