HeadLocker — Jay Shannon
My Backlash Predictions
Our resident philosopher, Jay Shannon, looks at all the craziness that is Backlash. This PPV is the follow-up to Wrestlemania 25.
Wrestlemania 25 was a fantastic card. The WWE, as always, continued many of the story arcs with this minor PPV. The matches look reasonably solid. Expect some major swerves in this one that will launch the summer series, leading up to the next Big PPV, Summerslam. Not only will I give my predictions on each given match, I’ll throw in a few suggestions as to where I think the WWE will go from here.
Santina on Khali Kiss Cam
Who called Vince Russo? This dumb segment is part annoyance, part inappropriate. Santina, which is Santino in drag, has to head to the Khali Kiss Cam to smooch the Punjabi Playboy. Does anyone in their right mind really want to see a 7 foot plus giant play kissy face with the Lord of the Unibrow? I don’t think so. I can only hope that Khali tries to get a bit fresh, only to learn the “secret” of Santina. Khali could then destroy Santino and give the fans a much needed break from the ridiculous faux Italian dweeb, Santino.
