So if Cena killed the Wyatt's can we get someone to help the Bray out, to help him Bo Lieve again?

Congrats WWE. You took 2 of the only good Divas left on that barren-ass roster, put them in a feud that by all rights should have been one of the best of the year, and made it one of the dumbest in years.

Did a WWE Backlash 2009 recap, chosen at random. Thanks for reading - Feedback/discussion welcome!
WWE Backlash 2009
- April 27, 2008. Attendance 11,277. 1st Mariner Arena. Baltimore, Maryland
- Commentators Mick Foley (SmackDown), Michael Cole (SmackDown), Jerry Lawler (Raw), Jim Ross (Raw), Mike Adamle (ECW), Tazz (ECW)
Singles match for the WWE United States Championship: Matt Hardy vs Montel Vontavious Porter (c)
- I cant believe that MVPs inflatable entrance gimmick wasnt a rib. It looks so cheap!
- At one point, Matt Hardy does a moonsault off the top rope, but MVP gets his knees up.
- Very formal taunt from MVP, You want my title? Come on, Matthew!
- FINISH: Matt hits the Twist of Fate for the win.
- BACKSTAGE: Eve interviews Matt Hardy, who says hes better than MVP.
Singles match for the ECW Championship: Kane (c) VS Chavo Guerrero (with Bam Neely)
- Haha, who the hell is Bam Neely?? Chavos personal bodyguard, were told.
- At one point, Tazz jokingly explains to Adamle that a countout is when the referee counts to 10 when the wrestler is outside the ring. They all really enjoyed themselves with Adamle.
- This ref - Mike Posey - is pretty over the top with his reactions. Not in a fun, Charles Robinson kind of way, though. I cant stop watching him. Its pretty funny.
- BACKSTAGE: Todd Grisham interviews Randy Orton. Randy is confident.
Singles match: The Great Khali vs Big Show
- To be fair, a few surprises in this. Pretty cool that Khali pulled out a crossface. Didnt expect that move.
- BACKSTAGE: Cena, wearing a video game-inspired shirt, chats with Jimmy Wang Yang. Orton then interrupts and says hes gonna defeat Cena.
- Decent match - Batista manhandled HBK for most of it.
- HBK had a crossface on Batista, who got to the ropes.
- FINISH: HBK then gets up and immediately nails Batista with the Sweet Chin Music. Hmm, unfair.
- BACKSTAGE: Orton visits Triple H and again says hell win. Orton purposely doesnt look Triple H in the eye the whole time.
12-Diva tag team match: Beth Phoenix, Melina, Layla, Jillian Hall, Victoria and Natalya vs Mickie James, Maria, Ashley, Michelle McCool, Cherry and Kelly Kelly
- The heel divas know how to strike a pose as a team. The face divas do not.
- At one point, each of the divas ran in one-by-one and got a move in. Enjoyable sequence!
- FINISH: Beth Phoenix hits a fisherwoman suplex on Ashley and gets the 1, 2, 3.
- Come back to WWE, Maria. You too, Kelly Kelly.
Singles match for the World Heavyweight Championship: The Undertaker (c) vs Edge
- Takers entrance is so well produced. They really have it fine tuned to the second by this time - every part is PERFECT. Most unique entrance in history. THOUGH, Brays entrance is getting up their in pageantry, I think.
- The match is solid, but kinda dull.
- Taker goes for an elbow drop from the top rope. Edge moves out of the way, and Taker lands hard on his back. Ouch.
- Hawkins comes out and nails Taker with the title. Edge goes for the pin, but Taker kicks out.
- Taker counters a spear and nails a DDT on Edge.
- Ryder comes out to help Edge, but Taker throws Edge into Ryder.
- FINISH: Edge counters the Last Ride into a roll up. Taker counters that into the Hells Gate. Edge taps.
- BACKSTAGE: Orton knocks on JBLs door. CM Punk, with his Money In The Bank briefcase, taps Orton on the shoulder and says, Good luck tonight.
Four-way elimination match for the WWE Championship: Triple H vs Randy Orton (c) vs John Cena vs John "Bradshaw" Layfield
- Fun spot where Cena applies the STF on Orton. Because its elimination, JBL yells at Orton to tap out. Triple H sneaks up and applies a crossface to JBL. Neither tap.
- 10 minutes in, Cena hits the AA on JBL, then makes JBL tap to the STF. Just as this is happening, Orton punts Cena in the head. And surprisingly eliminates Cena.
- On the outside, Triple H counters a piledriver on the steel steps into a spinebuster on the steps. Ouch!
SUMMARY:
- Some good matches. A night of crossfaces! No Trish Stratus.

- At one point, Tazz jokingly explains to Adamle that a countout is when the referee counts to 10 when the wrestler is outside the ring. They all really enjoyed themselves with Adamle.

- FINISH: HBK then gets up and immediately nails Batista with the Sweet Chin Music. Hmm, unfair.
- BACKSTAGE: Orton visits Triple H and again says hell win. Orton purposely doesnt look Triple H in the eye the whole time.
12-Diva tag team match: Beth Phoenix, Melina, Layla, Jillian Hall, Victoria and Natalya vs Mickie James, Maria, Ashley, Michelle McCool, Cherry and Kelly Kelly
- The heel divas know how to strike a pose as a team. The face divas do not.
- Id say about half of these divas are solid workers. Some especially cool moves from Victoria.
- At one point, each of the divas ran in one-by-one and got a move in. Enjoyable sequence!
- FINISH: Beth Phoenix hits a fisherwoman suplex on Ashley and gets the 1, 2, 3.
- Come back to WWE, Maria. You too, Kelly Kelly.
- IN ARENA: Baltimore Ravens football players are seated in the crowd.
Singles match for the World Heavyweight Championship: The Undertaker (c) vs Edge

Cool, just watched Stan Hansen vs Andre The Giant - NJPW 09/23/1981. Really, really fun to see. Andre moved very well! Could also bump pretty well, too - took an arm drag at one point!
WWE can only book women in 5 ways
1. sexual eye candy
2. crazy
3. overly emotional
4. bitch
5. lesbian?????????????????????

if devitt is allowed to wear the paint that is like marketing galor, kids rocking face paint again, it'd have to be some unique face paint though so marvel/dc/image wont get pissed but he could have a gimmick like the man of a million faces

Cena would just bury the gimmick anyway.
You people said Mr. H's was gonna make everything better.
YOU PEOPLE ARE LIARS
If Cesaro was in NXT still, maybe.

They probably wouldn't even spend the money to make the gimmick work. Hell, The Shield never got another helicopter entrance, and that was with their golden boy in the group. Transporter Cesaro needs Audis and stuntmen to make him look good.

Nah, Swagger is going to Bo Lieve and team up with Bo, his new life coach.
Raw was just an illusion.
I can see naked mannequins any day of the week on the internets, homie.
Also, I don't want to put any buzz on Rosa Mendes because I don't want to justify her still having a job over so many others who do twice the work as her.
