Pay-Per-View Rewind of: WWE WrestleMania Backlash 16/05/2021 Match 5/Part 5 by AverageMansReviews - Spoiler Alarm!

Pay-Per-View Rewind of: WWE WrestleMania Backlash 16/05/2021 Match 5/Part 5 by AverageMansReviews - Spoiler Alarm!

Warning: there are flashing effects/colourful effects

Background information: in short a congratulations to Belair for retaining her WWE SmackDown Women's Championship from this Interviewer [Kevin Patrick] and then moves on to interview MVP on this upcoming match which is coming up imminently. Then we switch over to see McIntyre looking intense and over this scene Graves doing more building up of this match via his headset/commentary position, then we have this graphic of these two contenders one on the left and one on the right with the WWE Champion in the middle [with him holding/over his right shoulder] with WWE WrestleMania Backlash words/logo on the right hand side with red electricity circling these three characters/performers with Virk talking over this graphic via also his headset and the commentary table to basically introduce this video package of how we got to this situation.

After this match slot we have a public service message from about getting a COVID-19 vaccine/vaccinations and then a advertising/commercial about the next WWE pay-per-view WWE Hell In A Cell streaming exclusively on Peacock and finally we have Cole and McAfee selling the carnage of a spot in the previous match [this match] and what a surprise selling the next upcoming WWE pay-per-view WWE Hell In A Cell on with a big width still advert advertising this pay-per-view and the date Sunday, June 20 7E/4P streaming on Peacock [exclusively so says Cole] with this ominous angle [as if we were to look up standing at one of the corners/angles of this man made/person made structure of this Hell In A Cell with this dark orange and light orange sky.] You see I have a point to why I am going into this in great detail and my point is this; we are having three advertising strategies being used in such a short time here and it is just really dumb, excessive, smells of desperation and on top of that it is massively disrespectful to their Universe/fan base/viewing audiences, because how much they would like us to have memories like goldfishes this is not the case.

Match/Stipulations: "The Scottish Warrior" Drew McIntyre vs. "The Monster Among Men" Braun Strowman vs. the WWE Champion "The All Mighty" Bobby Lashley [with MVP:] Triple Threat Match for the WWE Championship

Satisfying Conclusion: 6/10

Recommend Watch: 6/10

Match Total: 38/60 - this match is good

Comments: in one way or another it has to be said they really, really took the shine off this match; be it over building this match throughout this pay-per-view [don't get me wrong, I get why they did build up things before this; this is a fundamental component of wrestling storyline telling.] But because of the overkill nature it had this adverse effect of when it comes to this actual match I am leaning much more towards meh not interested and they have turned this match into a chore mixed in with a little bit of boredom as well; instead of as this match should have been built as the clash of these titans even though it was 100% obvious who was going to take the pin here; In-depth Predictions/Other elements for WWE WrestleMania Backlash 2021 Link  https://averagemansreviews2017.blogspot.com/2021/05/in-depth-predictionsother-elements-for.html in short even though it was 100% obvious you still want to watch it for what it is, but however they slowly but surely took my interest out of this match.

Moving on this piped in audience reaction is incredibly obvious/off-putting in this match on reflection it has just come to me that they have been using it for this entire pay-per-view; consequently it does the crowd participation and in ring performers great disservice, because the crowd are naturally giving their response which is what you want, but this manufactured crowd response sticks out in this match slot, because either way when the crowd gets loud or goes slightly quiet [they are still engaged] and then they pick up again you can still hear this manufactured garbage. So as it relates to the Crowd Participation category being 6/10, this is nothing against them, it is just this manufactured as I have already said garbage I have a big problem with. Because you want everything to be as natural as it can be in this simulated combat, but the WWE are in essence dictating to their crowd how they want them to respond, which I will use this old WWE expression "You buy a ticket; you have a right to boo or cheer who you want, without you, we wouldn't be here." [I hasten to add 95% within reason.]

Then finally we have Virk saying something on commentary which I have already discussed once in this pay-per-view already.

Link   https://averagemansreviews2017.blogspot.com/2021/07/pay-per-view-rewind-of-wwe-wrestlemania_3.html and in short I was patient and understanding once, but not twice once again it is just phoney enthusiasm when he says "Woah Bobby Lashley comes out of nowhere, Bobby Lashley with a Spear; The Spear, The Spear Lashley with the cover, the all mighty remains as Champion." [Full disclosure I am like 90% sure Virk says "The Spear" twice, but the subtitles only pick it up once; but either way to cover my back I will apologise.] Now on a little bit of research I have just discovered Virk only lasted 43 days with the WWE after leaving with mutual consent, which I don't find this surprising in the slightest you have to have something to offer in some capacity whilst you're in all on this or any commentary position in the wrestling industry and if you don't have something to offer you will get quickly found out.

Basic Result: I know already said the result, but I still have to do the admin; the WWE Champion "The All Mighty" Bobby Lashley [with MVP:] Retain his WWE Championship
