We need to talk about CM Punk being stuck in WWE HQ 😂😂
That shit was hilarious 🤣
Was he supposed to be at France?
😂 Yep
i am sure Jim corny will talk about it
Im surprised there's bad reactions to the french crowds. They made the night so much more meaningful.
I think the chant after every 2 count got a bit annoying for some. However, it was just great to see the wrestlers enjoy the atmosphere. Don't know how AJ held back a smile everytime he did something good and they sang the Phenomenal song. I hope Hey Bailey catches on in the states
People always want to critique so yeah.
@Blasey97 IKR!! The Bailey ones has been going on for years but American crowds still not chanting it till today. Maybe I'm used to Football (soccer) but to me I don't mind the chants from start to finish. Coz in Football the chants makes the game feel more special!
@@josiah3820 Fair enough.
I didn’t exactly love the “that was awesome” chant after basically every move but other than it was cool
I think they’re saving Jacob Fatu for a moment when we’re not expecting him. We expected him at Backlash and now, we have no idea when he’ll turn up. It’ll make his debut more impactful imo.
Maybe they saving him to be the final member of solos bloodline which I’m all for. Or maybe saving him to have him help one of the usos or Roman when he returns. U gotta think how big of a draw he is and how important fatu is. The moment he walks out in front of that crowd you’re gonna feel his presence
@Papellxhase Believe it or not he’s barely a draw at all and he’s not important at all. You only heard of him because you follow wrestling on the internet. He’s less known than the two that just arrived are. I’m not saying this to be mean either, just he’s nothing yet. I think a lot of people are hearing his name now but how many people actually saw an MLW match? I think he’ll be brought in by solo as a heel because if he showed up to save Roman 99.99% of the audience won’t recognise him.
I’d prefer to hear the chants that Lyon did then people saying “What?” For the millionth time
Thank Steve Austin for that😂
That was probably the greatest wrestling crowd of all time. Going back to the states for the weekly shows with near silence and random “what” chants is going to be painful
Fr, them crowds are mediocre, but it is what it is. Now oil up
I hope the Hey Bayley song is hear at Smackdowns from now on. She used to hate it now adopts it
@@kevinuchiha6830What are we oiling up for?😭😭
@@leviking564If I were you, I wouldn't bother asking 😶
😂😂😂Damn!
I like how backlash is starting become a show that doesn’t really have much hype because it’s right after Wrestlemania so most of the major stories just wrapped up but it smashes expectations mostly because of the insane crowds. I hope they continue with this trend of sending backlash to new markets known for having good crowds
Sweet chin music and I won’t past the aux 🔥
also day 7 of asking Santi to oil up for a video
Nice and creamy 😌. Can't wait. We all love Shawn Micheals
Plus slide like a penguin while oiled up
Santi doing a penguin slide AND the Haka while Sancho watches on in disbelief would feed generation's.
Day 7 of responding that bro stole my idea
fr
It was physically impossible for Jacob Fatu to be at Backlash; his criminal record prevents him from travelling to places like France
Not true, most felons can travel to Europe if they’ve served their time and aren’t on probation idk if Jacob is on probation but if he isn’t than he can travel to Europe without much issue. Now Canada is a different story
Both Jey and Jimmy were arrested at least once though.
Being arrested isnt the same as being booked as a Felon lol@sonomni
@@PapellxhaseI’m sure it dosent help tbi
Booker T travelled to U.K. before. And USOs travel regularly.
Day1 of declaring myself the manager of the guy with the comment "oil up Santi" ,keep it up bro we will finish your story
It seems like no one remembers that Tanga Loa was already in the WWE before. He was known as Camacho and it was really really bad.
Ty
This is Tanga Loa's debut. That was Camacho.
He was super green back then. Now he his a bit more over and its well known he is Hakus son. He will also have a lot of really good rub coming
I was going to say that too lol
My highlight was Santi's reaction and the names he called when JD McDonut put Priest's foot on the rope. Brilliant
As a French that was in the crowd in Lyon, we will be here to cheer if Berlin or Scotland makes even more noise than us. It’s a healthy competition where we all win !! So good luck folks 😎
What was exceptional about this crowd is that they not only outpoured the superstars and WWE with appreciation but they really paid big time tribute to the French commentators. That was just so amazing!
Most outside audience wouldn't have caught on that but the French commentators are a brand of their own. They are cheesy but also with lots of catchphrases; especially with 2-count and when going over the top rope. Think of it like Teddy Long catchphrases but on commentatory. France didn't need to give a french superstar a homecoming welcoming; they gave that throughout the show to the heroic voices of their WWE. Truly phenomenal stuff!
sorry you triggered it, IL EST VRAIMENT IL EST VRAIMENT IL EST VRAIMENT PHENOMENALALALALALALAA
Cody hasn’t fully finished his story yet he still has to beat R Truth iykyk
No that's R Truth's story. He has to beat Cody. Championship for Truth tour 2024!
@@Bayley4ever truth beat Cody 42 times
Just imagine Bloodline Civil War at war games. Roman, Usos and Jacob Fatu vs. Rock, Solo, Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa
You really think Rock will work a war games match? 😂
The people who called AJ washed gotta be on drugs
He’s aj styles. Damn near 50 and can still put on hangers even with the size he is. Whoever called him washed is crazy. He’s gonna give every wrestler in the company a run for their money until he hangs his boots up
One day ill be on here, one day i finish my story
i did yesterday
@@lilxski big W
Tanga Loa - had an awesome run New Japan. He and Tama were both Bullet Club members and were/are a kickass tag team called the Guerillas of Destiny. Have had some absolute bangers with the Briscoes, the Young Bucks and Sanada and Evil. Worth checking out if you have the time.
You might know him better from his brief 2012-2014 WWE run as Hunico's tag team partner, Camacho.
For the record, I wanted the Samoan Werewolf as well but this was a pretty damn good surprise. I might be biased because I fucking love the G.o.D., but it definitely makes for some interesting possibilities (translation: I wanna see Tama and Loa with A-Town Down Under's beautiful new titles, lmao).
This bloodline storyline is getting very interesting
I think Cody-AJ can and should be a multiple match feud - even if it's spaced out over a longer period of time. The story between the two could be gripping if given more time & with a lot of the Bullet Club connections in the WWE, it could be fleshed out further with ex members like Finn, Anderson, Gallows, Tama Tonga etc. This has potential & has the recipe for a great match, as we've already seen on a B tier show.
I’m glad you cooked that fool on X of saying that you’re the biggest wrestling tiktoker & dont know who “Tanga Loa” is. We love glazing you king!
Cooked him good. Papa Santi knows what's up 😂😂☝️
Wasn't he a Mexican in NXT?
@@Blasey97 Yeah. As “Camacho”.
Ty
Tonga Loa makes sense looking back because him and his brother are basically a mirror of the Usos in this new Bloodline
I don’t think Jacob fatu can travel outside the us of his crime history Santi.
He has a crime history
Wait what? 😱
Correct so anyone saying this is auto wrong
Actually?
Wait y’all didn’t know? Jacob is gutta frfr. Like not only is he a great wrestler But he is human who’s made mistakes but has worked pasted it
My biggest complaint with the Lyon crowd was the chant they did after every near fall. Because it felt like it was EVERY near fall. Besides that the crowd was great.
They said it was "Only two" it's a reference to something apparently.
17:19 if they do go to Paris they would probably have it at Stade de France not Parc de Princes. Parc de Princes holds like 49,000 for soccer/football games and Stade de France can hold like 80,000
Day 8 of asking for santi to rank wretlers leaked vids
How about being fucking patient. He will debut when he debuts.
Agree and he’s not in charge of when he wants to debut , hhh is. He’s obviously saving him for a waaaaay bigger moment. This was a moment where he could’ve debuted and been important but hhh has bigger plans.
I agree with you about Jacob Fatu, Santi. It's so much cooler to know that he is already signed, but we don't know when he'll show up, or what his role will be.
He can be the enforcer on Roman’s bloodline or the enforcer on solos bloodline it doesn’t matter. U give the guy a task he’s gonna get it done. It seems like they are saving him for maybe when it’s closer to Roman to return. This guy is such a big draw and so important that I wouldn’t be mad if they kept his debut hidden and have him come out when Roman’s getting attacked
@@Papellxhase It's possible for sure. Triple H loves his long term story telling. And he knows how much wrestling fans are anticipating the debut. He's liable to save it for something big! Definitely worth the wait, imo.
I think Jimmy Uso is going to come back at some point and then Jacob Fatu is going to appear to help jimmy and eventually Jey Uso is going to help and get a 6 man tag Usos and Jacob Fatu vs this new bloodline
Tanga Loa was Camacho from the act he did with Hunico in 2012
Hot take: santi needs to oil up
"ONE!...TWO!... SOCCER MULLET! 🎵 Soccer Mullet....Socccer Mullet.... Soccer Mullet....🎵"
The fact they had Tanga Loa (one of the worst wrestlers I’ve ever seen) over Jacob Fatu is wild.
Is he worst then khali
@@moHdali-lr4me absolutely
@@punkln0453no
also Fatu likely cant internationally travel
@@vegetalover9297if he’s not on parole he can but it’s safe to say hhh is saving him for a bigger moment although this was a perfect moment u just know that hhh has bigger plans for him. I wouldn’t be mad if he debuts closer to when Roman returns
Lmao. “ you don’t need to know every single wrestler on the planet “ had some oomph on it.
Respect. ;)
I also think that the door is opening more because old WWE was under the impression that superstars careers STARTED the second they stepped on a WWE show while NEW WWE is under the impression that careers and characters started elsewhere. For example, AEW Cody Rhodes is the same Cody Rhodes in WWE. Theyre starting to open up more that NJPW AJ Styles is the same AJ Styles in WWE. In the past, KO and Kevin Steen are 2 different people, same with early ROH Bryan Danielson and WWE Daniel Bryan, same with Tyler Black and Seth Rollins.
PSG stadium is indeed the Parc of princes (Parc des Princes), but with a capacity of 40/50k
The biggest stadium in Paris is the "Stade of France" (Stade de France), which is beyond 80k.
So if you want to put a WrestleMania in France (which I would love since I'm french duh), it would be definitally in that stadium.
Since the Saudi crowds don’t care about the women’s matches it’s a perfect opportunity to have a all women’s ppv on a month where they are going to Saudi and have good women’s feuds they want to showcase
No one will care about that. You think 11 thousand ppl will go to watch an all women ppv
U
I would love that, they need a mid card and Rhea back first though but then they could do a really good womens ple
@@mezianikhaled7390 In many places in Europe, thats a possibility. However, Mami must be cleared first. I know people with posters of her over the bed.
@@mezianikhaled7390I mean Evolution had a crowd of 10.900, pretty close if you ask me
I just rewatched WWE Backlash and here is my review:
- Bloodline storyline is just getting started and Im excited to see what happens, especially with Paul Haymen, Jey Uso and when he returns Roman
- The Tag match needed to change hands and was very predictable. Still good to watch Cargill kill it though
- Damien is a B level champion. I thought I was watching Monday Night Raw. Side bar. After that entrance and interaction with the crowd Jey definitely should have won it. Would have been interesting to see how the Bloodline would have effected him with a title in his hands
- Cody vs AJ was decent. Cant really complain. Cody to hold it until SummerSlam at this stage
If my hot take isn't reacted to I'm gonna complain on Twitter
He only reacts to Twitter comments. I don't think I've seen any from YT.
Day 5 of asking Santi to do a video on the worst PLE of each year ever since he’s been watching WWE and why
Shinuske should go to nxt and start a yakuza type group with Dante Chen and giulia whenever she joins the wwe maybe even tozawa and have them feud with the family
Dante Chen is from Singapore, not Japan.
And also, why does every faction suggestion have to be "lets put all the people with similar ethnicities together" ?
@@shibruva why you taking it so seriously
The last time WWE tried to make a Yakuza group the actual Yakuza tried to threaten Tajiri
@@loganurrutia6014"Chen" his last name alone is gonna complain,
I think it not being Jacob Fatu debuting made it less predictable. They fooled me. Didn't expect Tonga Loa
I haven't seen Jacob Fatu. I know right. I should watch his matches. There should be some on CZcams. Lol, So, anyways. I was happy to see Tanga Loa. Bigger pop, for me, than Jacob. But, I do get that people are waiting for him to arrive and wreak havoc. I am eagerly anticipating it though.
Since dominic is injured jey uso should win MITB this year.
The spirit of European crowds in sports is not to cheer when the team wins, it's to cheer and hype the team to bring it to the win. Always support your team even in defeat
I think we’ll get G.o.D vs The Usos in the future
VIDEO IDEA: Make a video asking your viewers about wrestling conspiracy theory
Oh my god Finn, Cody, the OC, it’s the Pellet Squad!
So in America we elevate big moments in the game. like in football we cheer on 3rd down, red zone, and TD. We don’t make a 2nd and 8 a big play. In other countries they grew their culture around soccer (which doesn’t have that many massive moments per game). So they make the entire game mean something and cheer, chant, and sing all throughout it
I do believe the bash in berlin crowd will easily beat backlash france crowd, germany is known for having the craziest soccer fans who cheer for their team for the whole match even if they’re losing 5-0
I wouldn't say "easily" I've been to German sporting games. Some fans aren't celebrating a 5 nil loss. They're pissed. But we'll see 😂😂
I mean France does not even scratch the surface when it comes to great crowds. Hopefully we can see wwe in Greece turkey or even argentina and brazil
@@kevinuchiha6830 you probably never been to BVB or Leverkusen games before
@@ojasjain7977 i don’t see wwe going to a lot of European countries other than France, UK, Germany, Spain and maybe Italy
@Narcissist17 I've been to Dortmund games, so chill. They're very good. I haven't gone to a Leverkusen one. Good try, though. I'm basque lol, so I'm kind of biased. But I agree on the German crowds being better. I just wanted to give my input
TBF Roger Ebert was that reviewer for movies (dude got South Park episode named after him and he was mentioned in ''Bad Touch'' song), but he unfortunately passed away
After the crowd reaction for Jey I wish he woulda won his match even more than I already did.
I also loved that crowd and the way they elevated the intensity of the matches was amazing. Definitely agree they should start putting the B Tier PLE in markets that don’t get as much love because they will take it more seriously as we just saw. It reminds me of the NFL game in Germany in 2022 where the crowd became the highlight of the whole game in a way. Our US crowds definitely lacking, not just in wrestling but a lot of sports
Day 6 of asking Santi for a "Best Bald WWE Wrestlers" while also being bald himself
I'm actually much happier we got Tonga Loa - Guerrillas of Destiny or G.O.D in the WWE is so exciting. WWE has an incredible Tag Team division and they could be a serious threat and culminate in something like The Usos vs G.O.D at next year's Mania. Bloodline truly is feeding the WWE for years and will continue to do so for years to come.
Wonder is Santi saw the sign someone was holding of his channel
He did see the sign. He missed the start of the Randy/Ko vs Bloodline brawl cos he was going back trying to find the sign haha
Backclash 2024 is better than backlash 2023. Someone had to say it.
We USED to go to one place to find out how good movies were. Every movie trailer had "siskel and ebert give it 2 thumbs up"
Day 7 of asking for a current version of a legend (i.e. Sammy Guevara as Chris Jericho) video. Not my best example today but best I can make.
I get the distracting aspect of the crowd chants but I honestly loved it, it kept me into the show for sure
Opinions please. Everyone expects Cody v Randy, Rock and Roman. However at the press conference Cody mentioned LA Knight. How do you see this happening and will LA Knight lose his second chance at the belt. We all expect a feud with Lgan Paul (probably at Summer Slam) but Cody just put the cat amongst the pigeons
He won’t beef with him and knight can’t afford another world title lost. Next time he has a big money match for the belt he’s winning it
Totally agree. Hope its against Logan Paul at Summerslam
Man I saw your image in hand of one of people in backlash during cody rhodes entrance
I think the crowd was great for the PLE where it was all in ring actuon. They started to grate on me for Smackdown when promos and things are getting hijacked. You can cheer for a whole football match because theres nobody trying to verbally tell a story during it. You dont chant through a play
Nah assuming the Rock is leading solos bloodline, Roman Jey and Jimmy getting Jacob Fatu would even out the numbers
I feel both ways about the French fans energy. Sometimes it took me out of the match, but when the big important parts of matches happened the crowd sold the shii out of it and made it special. I would rather this than a completely flat crowd
I like the idea of Jacob joining the side of Jey and Jimmy in the Bloodline Civil War
WE WANT JACOB FATU
Day 1 of asking Best PPV or PLE from 2002 - 2023 you can also include NXT it ahould be Matchwise, storylines, pacing, main event etc
Stade de France in Paris is 80k+ in a football configuration, for Wrestling it could get too 85k or even 90k, and Parc des Princes is 60k in football configuration and there are plenty 60k+ stadiums in France and accross Europe.
Day 15 of asking for top 10 dream free agents signing with the WWE.
stand and deliver in the sphere would go crazy
Santi, what ps5 do you have, would you recommend it because i have the money but is it worth it?
Wild that it’s taken a wrestling show for me to realise that Americans don’t get crowd interaction at sporting events. Even in Australia we cheer for a good amount of the sporting match, it’s just normal for us
Here in under a minute
Was the crowd annoying at times, absolutely! But it was unique and that's what makes it special.
Thing is you can't win either way. At Wrestlemania night 1 everyone was complaining the crowd was dead and here they are complaining they were too loud. Surely too loud is better.
@@mackapacka77 Louder is always better, but it felt like they weren't focused on the match at times and that dampened the experience.
"ONE... TWO... SOCCER MULLET!..🎵 Soccer Mullet... Soccer Mullet... Soccer Mullet..🎵" It just got annoying if you don't speak French.
@@drewizzle2214they were. Trust me. I’ve been to a few international sports games most notably soccer . They pay attention to the games but randomly start getting louder and singing lol I love it actually. They are just showing their culture and their appreciation to everyone. So it’s no surprise they were hella loud for wwe which they should be. Our own country can’t give wrestlers pops and make them feel important . France popped for every wrestler that walked out and made them feel like gods, also there wasn’t a phone in sight when the match was rolling . Just enjoy fans who appreciate
I’m thankful for Mania beginning in my hometown ❤️🙏🏾
My wrestling hot take is that the andre the giant batle royal should have been in france
Every B level PPV is outside the US this year. At least all the ones that have been announced
That's the best way to handle it weirdly enough. The crowd will make those ppvs feel bigger than they are.
AGREED WHERE WAS JACOB
They cant do the every PLE outside of US because it problematic for the talent. Its bad enough the flight schedule for Raw, Smackdown and hows shows , then we are going to add more miles to em by having leave the states every 2-4 weeks? Thats freaking tough!
People complaining about the France crowd singing is the reason American crowds suck
Day 6 of asking for undertaker streak matches that should’ve happened
Easy number 1 for me is prime Undertaker vs prime John Cena in the time period of 2005 to 2008.
IL EST VRAIMENT, IL EST VRAIMENT, IL EST VRAIMENT PHÉNOMÉNA LALALALALALA NALALALALALALA
u said tales santi. I don't care as long as we get your banger content!!
Wyatt 6 should have arrived at backlash
no more build
I agree with Santi on having a card that has 5-6 matches. It gives more time for the in ring talent to shine and also shows how well things are being booked now under HHH. We didn’t need to have a triple threat IC match or Womens World Championship match for the B level pay per view to feel special. Back in the day, these titles would be on the card but would maybe get 5-8 minutes which would ruin the champions title reign with these mediocre defences.
Back in the 80s and 90s Siskel and Ebert were essentially the Dave Meltzer’s of movies
Day 7 of asking to rank or rate every CM Punk matches in his 434 day reign as wwe champion
Minnesota is an indoor stadium so temp wouldn’t have been a problem once you got there
Honestly, I don't mind seeing even the Big 4 PPVs outside of the States. Imagine a big Royal Rumble return with a crowd as bonkers as this. Imagine all the returns like Cena 2008, Edge 2010 and 2020 with THIS crowd.
Re: the star ratings system vs movie ratings... movies used to be real similar with Siskel & Ebert's thumbs up/down ratings. People treated those like gospel for a long time. But the expansion of the internet gave voices (and ease of access to those voices) to many more movie reviewers, and hence we got Rotten Tomatoes. If WWE (or wrestling in general) ever somehow got as mainstream as MOVIES, I'm sure the same thing would happen, but right now we don't have an abundance of people who go out of their way to provide consistent ratings for every match/show and do so in an easily accessible way. Meltzer is kinda the only one in the industry who has been doing it for forever and publishing it consistently over all that time. Other than that you may have dirt sheets or CZcams channels rise and fall but none of them tend to stand the test of time like Meltzer has. That doesn't mean his word should be gospel, but it IS an impressive feat to think about just how long he's been reviewing wrestling shows consistently.
I am so much more hyped about tanga loa than jacob fatu
I mean the frickin G.O.D in wwe is something i only dreamed of
I think what makes me upset about backlash the most is Jay not winning. He deserves singles gold and it makes me sad cause he’s not had one solo match without anybody interfering.
Day 4 of asking for tna vs wwe vs njpw vs aewdream matches or tna+wwe vs njpw+aew survivor series
I think Jacob will align with jey, jimmy and Roman as their tribal chief while Solo with Tama and Tanga will align with The Rock as the rogue bloodline. I also wanna see Naomi and Nia Jax joining this feud.
I think, for a Mania to happen outside the US, in this case, Europe, it'll be in a stadium where football wouldn't be impacted. Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu has a retractable roof, movable grass field, in a major capital city in Europe (and the weather could be much nicer than London/Paris, tbh). Wembley would be a massive thing to do to match and overtake AEW's show, Stade de France in Paris could be an idea, so could the Frankfurt stadium with the retractable roof. We'll see, Mania will likely be in Europe sometime in the next 5 years, if crowds continue to be boiling hot as they have been for every event.
The way to go, for me, is to host one of the other big 4, namely a Summerslam, as a Summer event in Europe sells like crazy, culturally speaking. Everyone will be more likely to get some time off. Also, WWE has to do things differently, RAW and SmackDown need to start getting taped live in Europe again, a good reason as to why people don't go as hard in the US as in Europe has to do with the ease of access to the best shows around. Europeans will get a number of WWE Live shows, a couple of PLEs and respective SD tapings, but some of those WWE Live events need to change to a regular WWE TV taping. Make it a week or two of shows being shot out of Europe (e.g.: a PLE in Italy could be preceeded and succeeded of a RAW in Lyon, then the SD/PLE in Italy, and then a RAW in Spain), so it isn't just those few nights a year.
The gate record is fun and all, but the scarcity of supply is obviously upping the demand and the price of tickets, floor seats for two nights in Berlin will be over $4k, average/near-nosebleed seats in the stands for Clash at the Castle are in the multiple hundreds, WWE is milking their cash cow overseas, as is their right, but I'm not entirely sure how sustainable and overall successful this will be in the long run. We definitely need a proper stadium show, like Cardiff, where the arena size will allow for tickets to be a bit cheaper and accessible to all fans.
I would suggest NA fans in general, start watching events outside North America. As Santi suggested: Bundesliga (germany), Ligue 1 (France), Serie A (Italy), Premier League (England) and Laliga (spain) fans cheer for their teams all through the match.
Im from England, so it is alien to me that crowds in America only cheer for the major moments in their respected sports.
@wolvgrizz7763 Also from England but I think it’s just different. USA celebrate the high spots, Japan watch and applaud at the end and Europe forget why they came and get drunk and dance and shout, sing and fight. All have their pros and cons. Some could say ignoring a world heavyweight title match to sing your national anthem and show off what a good crowd you are, is a bit disrespectful. I liked them, but I don’t think American crowds are bad, just different.
@@jaybee4288 great comment there, i dont think American crowds are bad, i just feel its weird to not cheer all the time. Thats just the situation of how Europe is different to NA.
The only time I felt the crowd was too much was on Smack Down whenever people would try to cut a promo. However during an actual match, get as loud as you want.
I’m in the same boat with Vegas, I think the sporting events feel grandiose there and it’s perfect for the big money events, but I’m just not a fan of the city 😂
Logue 1 and Bundesliga reference in a wrestling hot takes video, wow
It just made me happy that the entertained Naomi’s entrance chat cuz them American crowds didn’t at all😭
15:37 Santi in his Mr Krabs era
