#2 Backlash 2004
The night that proved Chris Benoit was not a fluke, and Randy Orton was a real superstar, Backlash 2004 is one of the best PPV B-shows of all time.
Trending
The Shelton Benjamin push continued as he opened the show with a passable win over Ric Flair. With a lot of help from opponent Tajiri, the Coach pinned him in a fair match considering it featured an announcer, Chris Jericho defeated Christian and Trish Stratus in an exciting Handicap match, Victoria retained her Women's title over Lita in a cluttered match, The Hurricane and Rosey beat La Résistance in a filler and Edge pinned Kane in a much too short match, hampered due to a wrist injury for Edge.
The match of the night came from... Two matches. That's right, the show featured two matches that were equally as excellent. In a match that Mick Foley has described as his favorite, also the match that made Randy Orton the man he became, the Legend Killer pinned the Hardcore Legend Mick Foley, in a brutal and excellent Hardcore match. The main event was a rematch from WrestleMania XX, World Champion Chris Benoit defeated Shawn Michaels and Triple H in a match almost every bit as excellent as their first.
