7. “Backlash 2016 Did Not Feel Overbooked or Rushed” – Jim Ross
During a recent blog entry on his website, WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross gave his views on Backlash 2016. He thought Backlash 2016 was a good show and didn’t feel rushed. Below is what he said:
I enjoyed WWE Backlash and am happy that I watched it live on the WWE Network. The Richmond Coliseum audience helped the overall presentation. Loved the 911 tribute and thought the copy was exceptional.
The women’s match was a solid opener and was extremely ‘busy.’ I thought the right person won as I am a fan of Becky Lynch’s in ring work. Becky is a keeper and should be a good champion on the SD Live brand.
WWE has done a stellar job in reinventing Health Slater and pairing him with Rhyno to become the first, SD Live tag champs. Slater is entertaining and at times reminds me of the Kenny Powers character on the defunct, HBO series East Bound and Down.
Maryse getting involved from ringside to help Miz cheat to beat Ziggler worked for me. The edgier that WWE can produce Maryse to be the better IMO. Miz and wife Maryse together works for me.
Overall, Backlash did not feel overbooked or rushed which enhanced the viewing experience.
