Some off air notes:
Here are some live notes from WWE Backlash, which took place Sunday night in Providence, Rhode Island.
-- In a dark match that took place before Backlash went live on PPV, Kofi Kingston defeated Dolph Ziggler by pinfall after hitting a spinkick.
-- John Cena Sr. was sitting ringside in the front row.
-- Fans were very loud booing Michael Cole when he came out with Jerry Lawler and Jim Ross.
-- During the "I Quit" match between the Hardys, there was a huge fight in the crowd, including someone getting knocked down a flight of stairs. At one point most of the arena's attention (including Matt & Jeff) was on the fight. I was told the fight pretty much killed any crowd heat live until Jeff Hardy went for the table.
