I watched the crap out of Backlash 2002 too. Angle’s matches against Edge were what Tazz would call “rocketbusters.” It’s been a while since I’ve seen them. I really liked Edge as a face in 2002. In retrospect, his promos came out a little forced. But necklace-wearing late 20s Edge was awesome.
Everyone talks about Angle/Rey from SummerSlam 2002. Edge/Eddie was really good on that same show. RVD/Benoit, Jericho/Flair and even Taker/Test are good. I know the card is generally well regarded, but those matches feel somewhat overlooked.
