Backlash review, part one...
Dillinger/English - **1/2
Solid opener, but I wish they worked matches like this as sprints instead of the standard WWE face/heel dynamic where the heel dominates much of the middle of the match. The opener should be entirely to get the crowd hot and into the show, and this one did that at the start and end, but the middle was very flat. Also, why did Dillinger change the Tye-breaker? Oh, and that first chop Dillinger gave English sounded fucking brutal.

Nakamura/Ziggler - ***1/4
The main problem with this match was that Ziggler was the opponent. When Nakamura faced off with Zayn in NXT, there was at least a shadow of a doubt that Zayn might win, and so they were able to do a couple of great near falls. That wasn't really the case here, as there was no doubt that Nakamura was winning this one. Solid match, and the ending stretch was fun, but nothing spectacular.

Usos/Hot Cops - ***1/2
We can add a mop to the list of inanimate objects that have gotten over before Roman Reigns. Anyway, really fun match. They kept the pace going, Breeze was hilarious, and they had a great home stretch.

I'll get to the rest tomorrow.
