Talk:Backlash (1999)

Too Long
I suggest cutting the article down majorly. The event description should only tell the key points. The same goes for the background.-- Will C  21:07, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

This is not an In Your House
I have provided a video from youtube of the intro and a poster showing that this in fact was not an In Your House pay per view. I have also watched my copy and no where in it do they say In Your House. The title of this should be changed to simply Backlash 99. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.108.214.154 (talk) 09:41, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Backlash: In Your House
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Backlash: In Your House's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Facts": From Backlash (2005):  From Backlash (2003):  From Backlash (2008):  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 23:44, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

Backlash 1999
Backlash 1999 was NOT an In Your House PPV. Yes, the poster that was released months earlier does say In Your House on it, but at some point between the poster's release and the actual PPV itself, WWE dropped the In Your House name. If you watch the PPV, and even the episode of Sunday Night Heat that preceded the PPV, not once throughout the whole event is the name "In Your House" mentioned. Not by the commentators or wrestlers and not even an on-screen graphic. Also the cover of the original home video release does not say In Your House either. Every other In Your House from May 1995 until St. Valentine's Day Massacre has the name shown on screen, mentioned on screen and it's included on the cover of the home video release. I feel this page should be moved to simply "Backlash (1999)". OldSkool01 (talk) 16:43, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
 * I've filled an WP:RM request below and added mentions of the event being originally an IYH per the poster, similar to how Roadblock (March 2016) was originally "March to WrestleMania: Live from Toronto". FMecha (to talk|to see log) 14:37, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I know I am a bit late to this discussion but I just checked the WWE Encyclopedia and it does list the last In Your House as being "In Your House 28: Nacklast" on April 25, 1999. -  Galatz גאליץ שיחה Talk  16:29, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Nacklast you say? Ok. In all seriousness that means nothing. A book released over a decade later is irrelevant to the fact that on the day the PPV took place it was not called "Backlash: In Your House". Retroactively, WWE can say whatever they want. They change history all the time to fit whatever narrative they're trying to tell at the moment. OldSkool01 (talk) 18:20, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
 * haha whoops. Nacklast aparently, yes. I am not saying it was officially called an IYH, but if they called it that before and after its not retroactively changing the name. It just appears to add a bit of inconsistency. It also means that "(originally titled Backlash: In Your House on early promotional posters)" is not really a valid secondary title, perhaps it should say sometimes referred to as. -  Galatz גאליץ שיחה Talk  20:33, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

Backlash: In Your House → Backlash (1999) – Per User:OldSkool01, Backlash '99 was not an In Your House subtitled pay-per-view despite poster on article, although an IP dating back from 2009 claimed similarly. (I've since added notes on PPV and IYH pages about the event being originally an IYH event but later debranded, similar to how Roadblock (March 2016) was originally "March to WrestleMania: Live from Toronto".)

 * Comment: If these PPV events fall under WP:NCTV, then (year) disambiguation alone doesn't comply. -- Netoholic @ 00:12, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
 * WP:PW/MOS I think applies, but I found no mention of year disambiguation there; additional rules may apply. FMecha (to talk|to see log) 06:11, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
 * No comment atm on this, but just pointing out that WP:PW/MOS is not a guideline. --Gonnym (talk) 09:04, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Not sure what issue there is with this, but this seems pretty open and shut to me. The name of the event is “Backlash” and it took place in 1999. And since there were many other Backlash events to follow in subsequent years, such as Backlash (2000), Backlash (2001), Backlash (2002) and so on, this event should be listed as simply Backlash (1999). Just like every other yearly WWE PPV event is listed with the event name followed by the year in parenthesis. OldSkool01 (talk) 09:42, 9 February 2020 (UTC)


 * These do not fall under WP:NCTV. Although they aired on TV they fall under live event, not TV. That is why you do not see the title in italics as well. -  Galatz גאליץ שיחה Talk  13:03, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
 * That makes sense. While the live event did air on Pay-per-view and therefore was viewable on television I don’t think that’s enough to make this a TV related topic.--69.157.252.96 (talk) 16:36, 17 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Support It’s consistent with the other Backlash articles and since this was a live event and not a program designed for television I don’t see any reason that the WP:NCTV applies.--69.157.252.96 (talk) 16:41, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Seriously, what is the hold up here? Why is it taking so long to move this article? There is zero reason to not move it. It’s been over a month since I suggested the move. Let’s get this done already. OldSkool01 (talk) 18:03, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
