The People Of Lyon
This is the most predictable comment
Got real obnoxious towards the end of the night
I didn't get annoyed by it, personally
USA better wake the f up. These international crowds are lit
Big time facts
That Lyon France Crowd Was Crazy Everyone Got A Huge Pop.
“Big Pop” - SFR
Loved it when they sang louder then their themes
Damn, Bully Ray straight killing this hosting gig. I’ve seen him as a panelist several times, but he’s amazing leading the conversation too.
True. He better as host than usual host
My only issue with that is it becomes one-sided and he gets the other co-host to follow his reasoning. Not a knock on Bully because his takes are great. But when Dave is gone, there still needs to be some balance.
Bully and Eric had the best conversation about wrestling recently I was in awe at how great it was
Putting Jade with Bianca was genius.
Do you guys actually care about women wrestling or you just pretend?
Lol I just don't see who's taking those belts off them 😂😂
@@c.s3369Any team can....
I don't care about most women's wrestling, but I care about jade and bianca; they look like athletes and I believe they're engaged in a physical conflict.
That said I think wwe would be smart to bring back the diva's belt and book it like a mix between the cruiserweights and the tv title
Sorry but jade and biance doesn’t have personality so i dont care about them. Prove me wrong and hope one day im really wrong about them
Puerto Rico's crowd and Lyon's crowd are goated
Jey Uso, because of the entrance, even HHH said his highlight of backlash was his walkout.
All he has is an entrance
@@johnnyskinwalker4095Yep he is great, but lately his promo is not very human, and his in-ring needs some more elements.
@@johnnyskinwalker4095sad to say but true. He needs to stop spamming the superkick.. it cannot be your only identity. Dont get me started with the spear lol
@@jeffmendez02his promo is not very human. Buddy, you are not just related.
@@tn7778i dont see the problem about his spear. His spear is actually good and his spear is good for his arsenal. But i agree with his superkick, its overused.
The crowd are the MVP. I have seen them go all out in football. In wrestling? Just amazing!
Lyon the best crowd for wwe
Tama Tonga taking that fisherman's suplex on the chairs, sheeeesh, MVP right there
Dude, the way hardcam was bouncing during the entrances. That popped me SO hard!
Most great single wrestlers came from tag teams which is good for Jade.
Bret. Shawn. Austin. Triple H. The rock. Hall and Nash. Heck even taker was in tag and stables as was sting with warrior.
Mark Henry like a proud Popa putting over his girls Jade and Bianca
More happy that Kairi lose xD
His two daughters in wrestling lol.
@@eLite-Tiss91he gets a stiffy any time any Asian woman loses 😂
Buly and Mark talking about Godfather benching 450. Big E and Braun tied for the record at Cena's gym at 630 lbs. Big E then went 635 with Roman spotting him. Brock maxed at 525 and Roman maxed at 550lb. Brock said that people do not realize how strong Roman really is, because of his overall athleticism. He said y'all Samoan boys are just built different.
That damn crowd was the MVP
No wonder why hhh wants the b show ppv outside US
@@pinroshan020 facts…. I can’t wait for clash at the castle
Shoutout to Lyon 💯
"When the boys were truly men" , a time I'm glad to be firmly in 'reminisce fondly and ignore the negatives' territory, because it means times have changed. I understand the nostalgia but a lot of people are going to literally live longer and happier lives now.
Solos demeanor scares me in the same way Yokozuna's used to scare me . He's here, and he's dead ass 100
He is related to him
@@BigDic-qz8su yeah it's Daddy Yoko, I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm glad that the thing that got passed down was the facials the demeanor, conviction. Although it would be interesting if solo bulked up to about 390 LOL he's got the DNA for it
@@TravelatorH8r tana and his brothers are haku kids
Agreed
If you notice Michael Cole said “Guerrilla warfare” and right after that Corey Graves said “Destiny….something something” so they are acknowledging the name so maybe they’ll still get the G.O.D name ??
They need to let them keep their name, that's what they've been know as for over a decade.
That type of reference is how they used to acknowledge the wrestlers histories without saying it. But mow they just say it... So a reference like that feels unnecessary if they're gonna keep the name, but at the same time it's a new era. We'll see.
New Japan copyright must be lapsed if GoD name were used@@cwell510
@@cwell510 I think they are keeping it, Tama Tonga is still Tama Tonga and they mentioned Tanga Loa as Tanga Loa
The way you guys broke down everything, phenomenal storytelling. If he's not, Bubba needs to be in the writer's room. But the recap sounds like some drama that's worth watching.
You guys forgot to mention that Asuka and Kairi toned their abilities way down to make Jade look amazing. Not a knock on Jade. Just thought we should give the other ladies some damn credit.
He'll never do that
Tama is the mvp, he hasnt used a single offensive move other than punches, kicks, and a hands together smash, no words, but the way he moves and portrays emotions on his face is almost unmatched
I’m eating to see that splash …. His splash into the corner is ridiculous
@@MisterImpolite G.o.D > Uso's 👌 I'm hoping they get to keep their name and theme lol. "Ain't no body reala than Gorilla" 🔥
Dude genuinely looks like he'd eat your eyeballs in a bar fight.
When Jade and Bianca break up in can be the "The Superwomen Explode"...Main event worthy where ever their match is.
I'm all in..I want to see GoD NJPW ver. Face painted, ramp crawling, might as well bring GoD entrance theme as well 😊
Kama As Supreme Fighting Machine I remember had one of the best fights/matches with his best friend Undertaker at Summerslam 95. That was an epic fight.
When he melted down the urn and made a chain
Can you stop saying learning Tree. It reminds me of Jericho lol 🤣
Never let it be forgotten that Mark Henry is the man who scouted both Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill into the wrestling business.
This man must be protected and appreciated.
Solo,Tama, Loa I think they were great My Opinion great match Randy n Kevin 💖
The guys sold me on Jade honestly. I wanted to keep my expectations at a bare minimum but now I have to raise them at least a little. The idea of her vs Charlotte is definitely tempting.
Crowd was the MVP. they made that even their Wrestlemania.
This also tells you that WWE is a juggernaut outside North America so Aew neckbeards better shut it with their wembley talk cause WWE is coming for that attendance record too.
The second I saw Jade I thought about Bianca. The what ifs started, and the only comparison I could think of tag team wise is Brothers of Destruction
As many have already said on here the crowd. Cody vs Aj and Randy and KO vs Solo and Tama were just as good if not better than the women's match.
Damn I didn't know Norman Smiley was a coach in NxT 😱 That normal-looking guy is a crazy hardcore weapon specialist
That look on Mark says it all Charlotte coming back is what I'm waiting for
Y'all don't emphasize how Kabuki Warriors made them feel so good
The Kabuki warriors deserves credit Kairi Sane makes all the wrestlers she face look likes the best in the world. Hope.they get something interesting to do .
I think they put jade and bianca together because:
jade needs to get acclimated like Mark said, but her case is different. Usually talent comes in, and they build themselves up to the audience, they work their way through NXT, then the midcard, then make it to the main event scene. The thing with jade is, she’s already in that Main Event scene position. The WWE, and Jade herself have done such a good job building her in the few moments she’s had that she already comes across as a main event player. Eliminating Nia Jax (who would go on to main event literally the next PPV Elimination Chamber). So you have someone who is already a main event player and has been built like one BUT she’s also just a tad green and needs more time to adjust to the WWE system. How do you hide some of those flaws she has yet to work out? put her in a tag team, but it can’t be with just anyone. It has to be with someone else who is just as explosive as Jade, this is where bianca comes in. You can’t pair jade with a midcarder or an NXT call up because
1. you don’t want to mess with the image fans have built of jade on the back of that royal rumble performance, pairing her with someone who isn’t as over as her will mess with her aura
2. If you’re trying to teach her about the main event scene the best thing to do would be to pair her with a main eventer
in comes bianca who’s had a similar archetype as jade and gets billed as a monster of the division in her own right and has all this experience to boot from being in that position, she’s won world titles, she’s main event ed PLE’s, that’s the kind of rub you want to give jade, and when they finally have that 1 v 1 for a world title way down the line it’ll be magical
you guys play blackjack? that’s what we call a perfect pair
Storm did the old Chronic tag team finish during the match. The 420 slam. Hadn't saw it in a while.
Jade has the look she needs a year at least to learn and cut promos. Don't have to rush anything. Plenty of time to build her up. These things take time 🙌🙌
Solo looked like a straight killer on Saturday.
Jade look pretty decent in her first long match with Bianca against the Kabuki Warrior. She looks lost after the confusion with Kairi and Asuka being who is legal...as for the MVP, that would be the who damn crowd in Lyon, France. They put tears in my eyes seeing so much passion coming out from them.
Imo it's always dumb to have someone win a title in their first long form match. They could've had Bianca & Jade win the titles down the road after a proper feud with Kari & Asuka instead of just a spur of the moment thing
I freaking loved the Cody vs AJ match.
Man I loved this video. I can listen to these guys talk wrestling all day. Too bad damn work gets in the way haha
Putting Jade and Bianca together is gonna feed generations the feud that they’re gonna have is gonna be insane
I feel bianca is helping her. She is still alittle off. She is so athletic. She is still learning. Im a fan of her even in AEW. Bianca and noami get her there. She looks amazing. Cant wait when it comes natural to her. Thats when its on!!!
Answer to the title : The crowd.
The French crowd sounded like 100K people in the building. That Jey Uso entrance was epic!
What is the Italian underboss name. That's Solo ❤ 😁
Solo is slowly coming into himself I like it & I am here for it 💕 I KNEW Solo Could do it and I am happy for him
European crowds in football can be crazy but European crowds in basketball in an enclosed area an are just bonkers!
The crowd definitely made the night for me, The response and singing for AJ was “Phenomenal”!
i 100% agree with mark jade is a 100% heel by nature, idc what know what anybody says
Damn right ✅️ she literally has the potential to be a unicorn and still be over as a face or heel, but she definitely has a natural heel presence
I agree also. I only see a heel when I look at Jade Cargill. The way she talks and the things she says are heelish.
@@terranceburrs5832 and the way she wrestles is a heel with her size she can easily just stalk and beat down folks and if she works some type of power submission moves into her package she'll be a dominate heel
Tiffany is the Next Charlotte! She is amazing in the ring!
I love it because when they split down the line, i think they could each others best opp
The MVP of Backlash was the crowd of Lyon. The ladies Tag match had the potential to be that but it had to many botches in the match. The rest of the card was really good but still the crowd was the MVP that night
I could listen to Bubba and Mark talk wrestling all day. Forget this other guy just give me these 2.
Rhea & Charlotte I pray they come back to remind everybody about levels.
Rhea Rhipley and Queen Charlotte Flair are in a league of their own.
Wrestlemania 41 Women's title has to include either or both.
Don't sleep on Bianca she's in a league with them as well, she's just busy training Jade and making her look good. But once that's over she'll be back to classics
The fans are the MVP's
Those two are going to fight at the end and it should be a good battle. My question is who would turn heel?
Bianca definitely
That's a tough one because on one hand Bianca definitely seems like she could be an interesting heel but when you look at Jade it honestly looks like she could be a very very good heel she's already booming with confidence but she also has a presence that she could back up whatever she says so I feel like it would probably be Jade before Bianca mainly for the fact that Jade honestly looks like she is a natural heel or could at least become one organically
In my opinion, they both play the heel better than the face. They're imposing figures with chips on their shoulders. I mean, Bianca's gimmick is literally the "Est," which is basically saying I'm better than you.
I am so happy for Jade tho. It is so good to see a talent being used properly and guided as well. I always felt she would be a wasted talent by the time she left aew.
Im really happy at how over she is and specially the fact she looks so healthy and happy. You can feel shes living her gimmick and moment to the max.
My wife who hates female wrestling. Is now loyal fan of jade and i was able to get her hooked with my other 2 mamis. Rhea and Bianca.
Shes liking these girls that look that they actually walk their talk. And their matches feel real and have weight and great selling. While.other girl matches lack that.
These girls are able to do matches that i do feel that odd slo mo feeling all the girl matches usually have.
Heck these girl can actually work a good angle and match vs some of the guys too. Not only because of their size and looks but also their selling and match knowledge is really on point. Jade will be a female lesnar until lesnar daughter joins up
Truly enjoyed this clip. From the women getting their praise and recognition to Ron Simmons and the Godfather getting their praise and recognition too.
Mark and Bubba are fkn geniuses in pro wrestling in my opinion. The mafia analogy was perfect! GOD I love pro wrestling.
Bianca can teach jade, and with a year of in ring work under the arm of Bianca, we can get a good 1 on 1 at mania
The crowd… 👏👏👏👏
Ron Simmons had Butch Reed people forget that too.
Only makes sense putting Jade with Bianca only for Jade to turn heel & eventually set up a rivalry between em both 💯
France showed us that the attitude era crowd is still alive. Just gotta go overseas to get it
1:36 with Bianca being the veteran of the 2, she can help get Jade up to speed even faster. We all know the best classroom for the business is in the cars on those long drives. That's where I learned the nuances that you can't learn doing drills & bumping in the schools.
I honestly think this was their (WWE) way of building up to a rivalry. Cause they can just throw them in there as opponents but then how do you build a story outta these 2, one already being a face & one coming in as the biggest face since debut. i think them being in a tag team is how they’re building that story for when it’s time to have Bianca vs Jade. you have a heel coming out of this & you have a story for them to tell when it’s time for that. They also just look good together & I think they’re also gonna use them to do for the women’s tag what Gunther did for the IC title & make it more important to us. At the end I’m pretty sure we’re gonna see one crazy match between the two when it comes. Cause as of now who do you see beating them but 1 of them if you understand & that makes sense.
I think the perfect comparison for Jade is HBK.
Shawn was in a tag team to start off until his star power couldn't be contained any longer.
After years of being a great solo guy he was once again put in a group as a leader so he and HHH could create something special. Jade could eventually be a leader of a group to create something special for her.
Why Aew don't use Mark Henry to produce and write storyline for them? He has a great mind for the business and keep the alternative AEW. It is very educative to learn from Bubba and Mark
Randy and k.o. Was the mvps of the night and that match was match of the night
They’re gonna be a dominant tag team for a while then one is gonna betray another and then come wrestlemania 41 and amazing match can be set up between them
For me it was Jey. I really thought he was going to win that night. But it is what it is. lol
Rhea Ripley is just as good as anyone right now in the business!!
Thank you!!!!!! How dare they forget already. Mami was the only reason I gave two shits about the women’s division. Not only can she wrestle but she looks amazing
They should do a mentor angle in nxt where Norman smiley passes down the big wiggle + lady scream to an upcoming superstar 😆
Randy, Kevin,, The Bloodline. They stole the show. No other match was 5% close to them.
I’ve Always said If Gunther and Sami Was Rocky then the Bloodline is Mario Puzo’s The Godfather!!! With Roman Being Vito, Solo Being Santino and I don’t know who is going to play Micheal but Boy this shit is fire!!!!
I think the Bianca & Jade team up is only leading them to face each other at Mania.
Nice interview
It might be because I'm from Texas......but I can watch Mark Henry for days.
No offense to Bully who I can also watch a long time, but Mark is just like my friends I grew up with.
I’m from the UK and dudes just easy to watch. Good talker and full of knowledge
Rock did will be the story , Rock with Tonga, Toa & Solo vs Reigns with Jey, Jimmy & Fatu A Bloodline civil war is comming
You "trusted" haku with the keys lmfao....its good you did since I see your face is still attached
I feel like the same way Jade can learn to be a baby face from Bianca, vice versa Bianca can learn to be a heel which is long overdue
Bianca was a good heel back in her NXT days. She’s a good heel and a natural baby face too. To be honest she’s just naturally gifted either way
Enjoying backlash ppv show
Jade and Bianca! FREAKIN SUPERTEAM. I look at them and see Legion of Doom 🔥🔥🔥
Tiffany is sooo talented too, like Bully says, she’s a SUPERSTAR 💯💖
people throw around the phrase 'dream match' way too much.....but ZSJ/Danielson and Usos vs G.O.D. was some of the last true dream matches left today, and we already got Zack&Bryan, so lets get to this final one!!
Who's the MVP of Backlash ? US 🇨🇵 ! IL EST VRAIMENT IL EST VRAIMENT IL EST VRAIMENT PHÉNOMÉNALE LALALALALA
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Mark discovered them he should be proud
Beg to differ with Mark Henry, Kevin Owens move in the Tag Match from corner onto the stacked chairs DEFINITELY DESERVES a mention 🤨
Who authorized the G.O.D?
The Rock.
Who’s gonna be the new Tribal Chief of this version of the BL. Roman will have his own with the Usos, Jacob Fatu and Sammi Zayne.
Imho.
I agree… 👌
When someone mentions MVP i think of MVP_"Montel Vontavious Porter"😄😄😄
World's strongest Learning Tree
Tiffany is the future of the women's division
The UNBELIEVABLE crowd is the real MVP.
That’s real easy Lyon France!
I think hhh said hang with bel air and pick up some knowledge, that’s the reason why they’re together
Mark missing the answer that Bully was looking for lol😂
I just realised Pat McAfee on SmackDown said "Gorilla Warfare*
Or maybe Corey on Backlash
Must be a reference to the Gorillas of Destiny
Guerilla. Not gorilla
@@risingevil83 still a reference
Pat has done it before
The crowd
Silly note - I think Kevin Owens likes getting beaten up. Lol 🤣
It had nothing to do with Bianca and Jade "vibing" together...Triple H wants a return on his investment and the best way to utilize Jade right now is teaming her up with an experienced wrestler like Bianca Belair. She's still green af and needs more in-ring time so this is a good way for her to get that and learn as she goes.
Solo needs to get the US Title and the brothers need to get the smackdown tag titles.
Clearly they put jade & bianca together for the same reason they always pair up 2 singles wrestlers… so they can split them up & feud. Bianca vs jade will be a women’s title match at next years mania
