WWE Backlash 2009 star ratings

Christian/Swagger *** fun opener
Jericho/Steamboat ***1/4 even more fun follow up match
Punk/Kane **3/4 Surprisinly good
Jeff/Matt ummm.....gonna hold back on this simply cuz i JUST cant decide. need to watch for a third time
Santana/Beth* the rating includes the segment before hand
Legacy/HHH&Shane&Batista ***1/2 pretty good match, perhaps a bit to long
Cena/Edge****1/2 my MOTY so far

I cant remember the last time i enjoyed a PPV from start to finish as much as this one. There wasnt really a single boring momment and every match was a killer in its own right. This PPV totally blew Wrestlemania25 out of the water. Christians ECW title win was a nice pay off to the feud between himself and swagger since his return, Steamboat showed age has no bounderies and yet again we are left wondering just what are WWE doing to Punk? and that was just the first hour or so! The Hardys boys contest, much like the other in the series, was a letdown but enjoyable affair. I'm not to sure if a I Quit match was the right choice of match to end the feud. Altho i enjoyed the 6 man tag it did drag on but it was booked well, it was clear that HHH was stepping aside for a Batista/orton feud. and then there was the main event!!! This match was basically the climax of a 3 year feud which began on New year revolution 2009 when Edge cashed in his Money In the Bank to take the title from , 3 years of the gold going back and forth came down to this and boy did they hit it out the park or what! The FU into the crowd was one of the craziest things i have ever seen in WWE and made me mark the fuck out. Fantastic contest with a great epic finish which kept both wrestlers strong. Like i said above i consider this match to be match of the year thus fr, i have just above HBK/taker(****1/4-1/2)
