10 Best WWE Backlash Matches Of All Time

9. Shane McMahon vs The Big Show – Backlash 2001

A better Last Man Standing match, you f*cking heard me. A Last Man Standing match between pre-constant crying Big Show and pre-thumb Shane McMahon was better than Cena and Edge and I don’t want to hear any of your nonsense.

It’s the kind of pure story, plunder-heavy match that was Shane’s speciality in the 2000s, but the crowd are apeshit for the whole thing, even Vince’s angry little run-in.

To fell the giant, Shane pulls a bunch of magic tricks out of his arse, including a really funny chloroform bit, an all-time great big boot from Test BANG, and closing with one of the all-time great stunts in wrestling history. A sensational dive from a man who majored in sensational dives from a divey league university. Is it a good technical match? No. Is it highly sports entertaining. Yes.
