[quote name='StarKnightX']for clarification though , were you disputing that Hoyt is better than Tomko , or that Hoyt was good at all?[/QUOTE]
The latter. Tomko impressed me in his TNA run. If I were a promoter I don't think I'd ever put a title on him, but with a good manager he could be in a Kane/Scott Steiner "perpetual uppercard jobber" spot that was actually believable.
Backlash sounded like a helluva show. I saw some stills of Cena being thrown into a spotlight, and it just looks hella corny though. The fireworks and fire sound like the writing crew had some kind of Wile E Coyote/Road Runner fetish going on. They could have just dropped Cena off a cliff, or tied him to a big red rocket that went straight to the moon, and it would have been just as pausible.
That said, based on the matches on the show and how they went, I would have spent $25, but not $40. I would only pay that much for Wrestlemania, and that's only if it's really good.
