2. Backlash

Another event with dubious history.

Backlash is another pay-per-view infamous for its poor quality over the years. Obviously, the less said about this year's event, the better, but last year's wasn't great, either. In fact, the only truly great event under the Backlash chronology that comes to mind is the 2000 edition when the company was at its creative height.

Backlash has essentially functioned as just a way to extend WrestleMania feuds needlessly, wheel-spinning and winding them down with rematches that are often worse than the first editions. It begs the question - why even bother going through such motions when you could be using the now more profitable TV shows to slowly build toward Money in the Bank and SummerSlam instead?
