The crowd singing Cody's entrance music even after he and AJ are already in the ring is so dang fire! Both men deserve this type of crowd!
Dude I was Dwayne Johnson slapping my forearm after they cheered all on cue. Genuinely so amazing!
I preferred Jey's yeet rock concert
Aj deserves to have people chanting his opponent song while he is in the ring🤔
@@Kiddingyoumust I was referring to the hot crowd in general. And besides, AJ is technically a heel so this actually counts. Please don't twist my words to your narrative.
That crowd was absolutely insane they popped from almost every move
0000000000000000000000000000000000000
Pp0
41 should be in London
Ref comes to the ring crowd songs his theme song! 😅 It was crazy.
No They were so disrespectful to the wrestlers just sit down and watch the show GOD!!!!
WWE signing Loa was kept so quiet. A great surprise to the event.
HHH signed him in his secret bunker near the Earth's core
@@AlphariusDominatus hahaa
What was crazy they foreshadowed tanga loa in the pre show
It’s almost like Triple H looked at the name of the company and said “You know, the first W in WWE does stand for, you know, ‘World’”
@@christophermarriott1681grow up
Nah.. That joke is not striking..@@christophermarriott1681
or he looked at "you know these US citizens aren't selling out arenas, lets go somewhere we never go they'll buy our house show tickets"
@@packerpf Agreed. WWE and AEW both have noticed America is not the right market right now.
@@dogkingifywwe don't have an issue with crowds in the US. AEW does
To be honest that crowd would have shouted this is awesome at Triple H taking his dog for a walk
that's how it goes when you put on a great show consistently
@@dus10Bish0p lol it was a glorified house show hardly a "great show" this is how house shows literally are lol.
@@packerpf may i ask; what is a show recently you enjoyed?
Unpopular opinion: i didn’t like the crowd. Listen, i want everyone to enjoy the show. For me, I could barely hear the commentary. The crowd doing that chant after every two count was cringe. I’m usually fine with soccer chants, but they didn’t even seem to be going along with the show at certain points. Watching back looking at Cody and AJ lock up and they’re singing “ah lala la la…ah lala la la…” They’d cheer for their own cheers. They’d sing along to entrance music and be annoyingly off beat. I’m over them.
@@GiFTheGreati find the bitching one, cringe. Go watch the other show, you won't have any problem with how the crowd is.
Crowd was PHENOMENAL 🤌🏽🔥
PHENOMENAL NA NA NA NA.
Dude, that Phenomenal chant they did for AJ is so deserved. I actually really am enjoying AJ's character right now, his "no BS, wrestling machine" thing he has going on (like '05-'06 Angle). It feels real. At his age, he probably feels like his time is slowly winding down, so he hits the gym, gains muscle, and is seriously trying for one last main event run. However American crowds are deathly silent for him, they dont know whether to cheer, or boo because he's neither a face, or heel. Hearing the French crowd shower him with praise was awesome to see.
@@skrounst the WWE crowd has long forgotten that AJ Styles is one of the best wrestlers on the planet and once held the WWE Championship for 371 days.
Lets hope more surprises are kept secret
Just for anyone who doesn’t know or forgot Tonga Loa was in wwe in the early 2010s as Camacho. I’m sorry for anyone who wanted to forget.
WTF ?! damn i didn't know he was Camacho xD
Wish they brought back his theme with Hunico.
@@kidvillain188Hunico was a masked wrestler so he went back to being masked after the gimmick. He hated his Hunico gimmick.
Was that one of the guys riding a low rider to the ring? cuz i do remember that gimmick
Thank God.. someone still remember than me 🎉
The "Simplement 2..." (which means "Only 2...") chant is a big tribute to the french commentators (those from Backlash) who use to say it at nearfalls. It's one of their most famous catchphrase.
In France, they are seen as the main reason why Wrestling is so popular they litterally influenced a whole generation of french fans for more than 15 years... True legends 🔥
Which is wonderful, and I love that it's a tribute to some bonafide icons in the sport...but did they have to chant that after EVERY near fall in EVERY match? I'd be lying if I said it didn't get a bit grating after a while.
@@sunsh1ne1024 In french we say "On fait ce qu'on veut rends pas fou"
@@sunsh1ne1024I agree. It got annoying really quick. Apart from that though I think it's the hottest crowd I've ever seen
@@zafirmussa7174That and the "phonominal" chant that they did every 3 minutes in the AJ/Cody match
@@sunsh1ne1024 I totally understand your point (even KO felt that way a little bit) but first televised WWE show in France, first PLE... People were just happy to be part of that historical moment and wanted to make the world know that France is a "wrestling country" they could've done this for a whole day and i'm not even joking 🤣
the crowd did indeed turn this from an above average show to an amazing one
0:13 Damn Luke 13 seconds in and this is the most English thing you've ever did lol
UK crowds- sing intro songs and pop for wrestling matches
USA crowds- "WHAT"
UK???
Guerillas of Destiny (GOD) vs USO’s = Dream Match for those of us who saw NJPW with GOD as a team.
nah GOD has a more ridiculous in ring resume, USOS have never felt like the best team in the world, GOD was at one point.
I've been waiting for this for years and it's finally going to happen.
Tanga Loa is actually trash tho
@@packerpf G.O.D has never felt like the best tag team in the world, definitely been top 5 for a long time but never better than FTR, Bucks, Usos, Briscoes. Still, G.O.D vs Usos is match I never thought I'd see....
Whoever said AJ styles was washed up, bite me. You have no idea what the hell you're talking about you. Wish you could be half as good as AJ
AJ is washed up and past his prime. Accept the facts.
@@christophermarriott1681 a step slow yes, but the man is still better than 95% of wrestlers across all companies at the moment.
Defo not washed up bro. Check ya optics
@@christophermarriott1681back in my day, bait used to be believable!
AJ never knew he had a song for him in french
In fact the song already existed but it fitted him so well that de started singing it for him 🔥
the Scots saw last night's crowd and said 'challenge accepted'
And the Germans are saying "Mein Amerikanischen Freund, hol mein Bierkrug"!
Luke not mentioning it when it’s next month but mentioned Germany that’s 3 months away.
Good luck mein little franlein. You gonna need it @rinzo2009
knowing glaswegians, the censors are gonna have a busy weekend ("here we fucking go" chants anyone?")
Let’s all hope Tonga Loa learned how to throw punches in the last few months. Okada did his best to sell what can be best described as “an awkwardly light paint brushing”.
That's why he's in WWE...
Nobody in wrestling knows how to throw a punch anymore. Tonga isn't the worst I've seen.
FUN FACT: AJ STYLES IS THE ONLY WRESTLER TO FACE BOTH DUSTY AND CODY FOR WORLD TITLES. HE FACED DUSTY FOR THE NWA CHAMPIONSHIP ON OCT. 8, 2003 AND FACED CODY FOR THE INDISPUTED WWE CHAMPIONSHIP AT NBACKLASH!!
I popped for "baby you got a stew going"
RIP Carl Weathers
Welcome to the Bloodline of Destiny
That’s a great name for them
WM40 N2 and Backlash France show how much the Crowd matters for Pro Wrestling
Props to Michael cole for giving context on the AJ styles outfit, I didn't know about it gave the match another degree of importance. I don't see people talking about this enough but really one of the things I didn't like when watching AEW was them bringing a lot of indie guys without giving context and expecting people who don't follow the indies to know them and pop up for them
There was only one Finisher in the Mainevent. Nobody kicked out of the others finisher. I don't know when I saw this in a 20 min match.
If European audiences got wrestling events as often as American audiences do, they wouldn’t be so great. It’s only because those crowds know they probably wont see a wrestling event again in a long time. So they make the most of it.
That's exactly what it is.
Yeah so use that to your advantage and book more shows overseas. Nothing short of a brilliant business decision
20 seconds in and luke is already firing shots 🤣
He always firing shots 24/7. Nothing special
Every time they said tungoloa I kept thinking of the quarterback for Miami dolphins Tua Tagovailoa
France was one of the best crowds in recent history...WWE really needs to host a Mania there in the future, it could be one of the biggest mania's of all time..
I think Mainland Europe might be better for Mania and London... the weather maybe a bit more reliable for April.
People who've never seen it live like this always pop lol it's not anything significant. Same thing has happened in London.
*_International_* (not just European) crowds are better because you don't take take it for granted as we do
Don't forget 3/4 of the Original Bullet Club is in WWE
4/5 no?
Balor
Gallows
Anderson
Tama Tonga
Im not very good with NJPW stuff, so I might be wrong
@shakkarugat9184 Gallows wasn't an original member, it was Devitt, Fale, Anderson and Tonga
Gallows wasn't
@@benisaacs2753 The Original Pilars
All right, thanks chaps!
The crowd made every match seem like the main event, it must have been absolutely incredible to see and hear in person
Hey just a little detail. Tanga Loa isnt debuting. He used to be Camacho part of Hunico and Camacho
When you scan the QR code that flashes, you get two audio clips with a blank space in-between. I just decided to drag the mouse from below the first audio to the bottom, the sentenc "you did this" was highlighted. Right now I'm still watching (replay, I didn't catch the live broadcast) the tag title match between the Kabuki Warriors and Jade and Belair. I like how dreadmare started as a random-ish channel, Bray must be so proud that his legacy is being continued.
To understand just how insane Backlash ticket prices were you gotta understand only (around) *11000 people* paid more combined than the around *70000+ attendees* each night at this year's WrestleMania, at least on average. That's how Backlash got more than Mania: Insanely high ticket prices, like Luke said.
Maths>Pipebomb
Louder please! Someone named Oliver Davison can't hear you.
Pipebomb>Mama mo
Always
No
Genuine question:
What’s the meaning of largest gate? How is it better than WM?
Can someone please explain what that means?
It was the largest arena gate and mania was a stadium show plus the tickets were expensive as hell
More money basically. The "gate" is the money accrued from ticket sales. Mania, and even the recent Raw and Smackdown shows did well, and made a lot of money, but more expensive tickets means more money. You can have a 10,000 seat arena, sell each ticket for $10, giving you a $100,000 gate. Have a 10,000 seat arena, and sell the tickets for $15, and you get a larger "gate".
"Gate" just means total revenue from ticket sales. And like Connor here says, this was the largest *arena* gate in WWE history, meaning that Stadium shows aren't up for comparison
In the modern day they don't do the big shows like Mania and Summerslam in anything less than a huge stadium where they can pack 50k+ into it. the Arena is the smaller venue (in the case of this one, 16k for Concerts. 12k-ish for Basketball) and this show outsold any arena show from the past.
In short: they earned a lot of money
Shoutout for remembering the Rising... because I didn't.
“…The Ghosts in uuuuus rising uuuup.”
I literally heard of that team in a video on Eli Drake's run in TNA, and completely forgot Tanga was even in the fed, let alone the Rising
@@underscoresjurassiccatch7812 Exactly! I was watching TNA at the time. I remember this group forming. I remember following their respective careers....totally forget The Rising was a thing. Thats how little they did.
Luke Starting his war with the french like a true englishman
And like a true englishmen, when things are going to go bad, they gonna start running.
We still love Luke !
Whenever i see Tanga Loas name i just think of that clip of him against Okada or when he messed up that 619. It was awful. Also Usos vs GOD could be pretty awful.
That’s all I can think of too. He’s much better suited to mean mugging and sports entertainment with the occasional tag match.
Hey! As the spokesman for Missouri, I find your depiction of our state, well… pretty accurate
Ah what I love… a good ol wrestle talk news on a Sunday
Loved that Carl Weathers reference 🤣
I'm not sure if this was intentional or not, but Luke, did you ever watch Eurotrash? That "Bonsoir my UA-cam chums" bit was very much like the host's intro to the show.
LUKE: It was very intentional.
Hes bringing the penguin man on next week, and playing 'boys, boys, boys' by sabrina the week after.
The prices of Bash in Berlin were heartbreaking.
Anyone know the name of the classical song they use for show recaps?
7:50 when the referee got wrong, we chanted « we want michel » and « bojolé » because of the french wrestling UA-camr Sturry who has a character named Michel Bojolé (a referee bringing up referee mistakes !)
Sturry is also the one who brought up the idea of the lights during Jey’s entrance :)
Because of the tag confusion Luke mentioned, i thought they weren't going to count the pin on Asuka, after all, she tagged out before Kairi's elbow onto Bianca.
I would rather see a 5 match card, with compelling, and eventful matches that are given time, than a 9 or 10 match card with short matches that are spot fests that just feel rushed.
You'd rather get less content for paying more money. 😂
@@christophermarriott1681 you missed the whole point, in turn for only taking five matches, you get longer more detailed matches rather than 9-10 fast paced short matches. Meaning you get more content and story telling in the five match card.
@@christophermarriott1681Yes
@@christophermarriott1681 I'm not getting "less content". I'm getting matches that are given time to work a proper pace, tell a better story. As for "paying more money", that's just you making crap up. Being in Australia, I pay the same amount for all my broadcast sport, be it WWE, NRL, AFL or whatever. I'm not paying any extra to see anything.
Tama Tonga and Loa being in the biggest story in wrestling on their debuts is insane. Best career moves of their life
"Il est vraiment
Il est vraiment
Il est vraiment phénoménal
La lalala lala la la lalala lala la
La lalala lala la la lalala lala la"
Stuck in my head since last night... What a crowd and a great show all around! I loved that opening tag match... and I fuckin love how WWE presents Nick Aldis as a GM. And here we are thinking that Sami's entrance a few weeks ago would be hard to beat and then France gives Jey THAT entrance...
Great that Tanga Loa returned because I love Guerillas of Destiny... 🙏🏾
A small part of me was hoping they would’ve had an Awesome Truth vs La Resistance match added just for the nostalgia factor for the home crowd.
I could imagine every wrestler backstage was feeding off to the crowds energy. I’m sure everyone had an amazing time because the whole arena was having a blast. When it comes to the WWE fans in France, they are amazing 🇫🇷❤️
This is probably the one of the rare occasions where the crowd actually saves a show. This could’ve easily been an inconsequential throwaway PLE considering the card lol.
Yep, Backlash: France really demonstrated how a lively, engaged crowd can help elevate a show.
And they kept the same energy for the ENTIRE show! Super impressed with Lyon.
Bayley v Tiffany v Naomi was legitimately one of my favorite matches of all time. Like, top 5. Maybe higher. Just perfection.
And damn…. That Roman, Jey, Jimmy, and Jacob v The Rock, Solo, Tama, and Tonga War Games match is gonna be fire!
2:56 IN ALL FAIRNESS ... The Evil + Sanada tag matches with GOD in 2017, 2018, and 2019 banged hard
Jey uso got the best entrance he’ll ever get
I started watching the replay around 3am, figuring I'd just fast forward through it to catch the highlights since the card was fairly standard and predictable (and honestly was more hyped for hoping to see Wyatt 6), BUT THIS CROWD!!! All your gushing is well-deserved, I ended up staying up to watch the whole thing BECAUSE OF THEM. It was awesome and elevated the show 1000%, everything felt huge and important. Triple H Era is going hard, bringing the magic back and making me feel like a kid again watching Raw when it debuted.
This was also Tanga Loa’s second WWE run, the first was as Camacho with Hunico, who became the new Sin Cara 😅
Not only the crowd. But the start times and length are perfect. Its so much easier to catch in the middle of my Saturday than to make it a point to stay up until 11pm on a Sunday for the main event.
Lol they usually finish in the uk at 4am
The crowd singing Randy's entrance song was fire
LOVED the Arrested Development reference!
The fans were electric and made the entire show feel "Big Time". I really enjoyed the show. So happy to see the Phenomenal One shine. Also, the Kabuki Warriors did a great job making their opponents look great. I would cringe every time they tossed or slammed Kairi. Thought they were going to break her. Kairi is double tough! Great Backlash!
I gotta agree the france croud was definitely better than the American crowd they had everything shaking and I'm glad guerillas of destiny are in wwe
Strap the rocket to Tiffany Stratton 🚀 She has got IT 🌟
Did anybody notice Jade Cargill started to look sick and totally lost during her match? i had to rewind back... as Asuka and Kairi did the submission attempt Jade looked confused.. and she looked sick and blank eyed.. she laid down and the ref went to pin, but Kairi had to grab her arm and move her into the submission spot... i assume this is Jade being crap... work is still needed.
Jade Cargill just plain sucks. Glad she didn't resign with AEW. AEW has way better women that can actually wrestle. Jade Cargill is all looks and no substance in the ring. The fact that she was training with Bryan freaking Danielson in AEW and she still can't wrestle worth a damn shows she learned nothing and didn't take anything seriously. She's not serious about the business. She just wants to go Hollywood and make movies. WWE is nothing more than a stepping stone for her.
Shes gonna get their.
Those folks in France were 🔥 and everyone was hyped up especially for Jey. The fans get hyped every week but nothing like yesterday in France unless the Barclays Center.
Bailey is legit I love her
This crowd really elevated everything on this show, while I can see the chant after every near fall getting on some nerves, it made the show great overall. Cody/AJ was a great main event and the Phenomenal chant was lovely for AJ
LOVED the Arrested Development reference!!!
PLS BRING BACK THE SMACK DOWN REVIEW!!!!!!!
This crowd just let me know how much we in the US have just become accustomed to going to events....they had so much fun and was in the moment for the wrestlers, not themselves.
The most unrealistic thing on commentary was saying that Tama Tonga has had GREAT MARCHES, period. Shingo brought a great MATCH (singular) out of Tama.
Thanks for reminding me who the third member of the rising was
The crowd were amazing. Seeing the camera literally shake from all the bouncing during AJ's introduction was epic.
I watched the event and I enjoyed it from start to finish just like the fans in attendance did, man were they electric. The only titles I expected to change hands was the women's tag team titles and I hope Bianca and Jade have a long dominant reign. I also didn't expect to see Tanga loa debut, man did WWE throw us a curveball lol, I am interested to see where things go with the bloodline storyline and if done right in my opinion, could be epic. I give Backlash the vote of 4 out of 5 for this week as well.
Clash at the Castle will smash the gate record for all the wrong reasons. Ticket prices are ridiculous
All they need now is Hikuleo to complete the new bloodline
Zilla Fatu
G.O.D Vs THE USOS.....GIVE IT TO US TRIPLE H PLEASE!!!!!!
Happy Cinco De Mayo Wrestletalk.
Naomi, Jey USO, AJ Styles and Cody’s entrances gave me chills because of the crowd.
0:13 Reminds me of Eddie Izzard's bit from Dressed to Kill about the French, to quote: "So since then, they've been kind of spiky and kind of....well, French. I'm very positive on the French, my family way back was French, so I go with it, but they are kind of, well, f***g French at times..."
Obviously said in good humor.😂..that crowd was amazing!
After the botch with the ref we were chanting "Tu t'es trompé", which is the French version of "You Fvcked Up"😅
Après c'était des chants pour Michel Bojolé
Thank you Luke. I knew the whole time watching the Jade and Sane sequence I kept thinking this looked familiar so thanks for reminding me she did it to Skye lol
You called Bianca and hade power girls
But personally I think they are going for more of a mega powers type situation
I live near Bumble Eff Missouri. You’re not wrong.
Luke, great review. But you forgot to talk about the qr code that appeared right after the Priest match. Anything you know about it?
I LOVED the triple threat match and hearing Luke hype up Stratton, Bayley, and Naomi just got me hyped again 🥳
Great opener, Great finish. Pretty good middle. I was invested in the majority of it.
I watched show for the crowd. They made the paper view quite good.
Bumble Eff, Missouri is a great place!
Damn right, my only problem is he totally mispronounced it, it's boomblay oof, Missoura. Got a problem here of refusing to pronounce crap the right way.
8:06 Cody was wearing some purple too. It was the color around his waist. Was cool to see the throwbacks to that match from both of them.
Ludvig Kaiser will get a Hulk Hogan/ John Cena returns/ CM punk survivor series pop in Germany.
WWE just needs to do all shows and PLE’s in Europe, those crowds be lit and far more engaged and entertaining than the crowds here in America
I'm from that place in Missouri Luke, and you're correct
If insane and explosive has a new synonym it will be French Crowd or may be later on the European Crowd. Switch ppvs from Saudi to Europe.
Awesome to see Tonga Loa in WWE.
How are you guys so "quick" with news and reviews 🤔
This should be the crowd for WrestleMania night 1 and we could have had the best WrestleMania of all time.
Such a great crowd and anyone who did not work this PLE is going to be upset that they missed it, it was so good i don't even mind waking up to see Luke's face.
I fundamentally wish ppl would stop using the burning hammer if its not the finish. Just like damien priest should stop using razors edge if its not a finish. But that AJ burning hamming did look sick
