Quote: Nowhereman said: He already fought HBK before Backlash so it was no big surprise!
i read it as hogan being upset with the notion of a non-wrestling manager doing that well at all, and not just at the ppv -- though especially at the ppv.
in the weeks prior to backlash, davari didn't do much of anything. his first match in early april was supposed to be seen as an insult when cheaply defeating michaels. he didn't wrestle the next week at msg, instead back in his suit-wearing managerial role.
the third week, in england, he was a super hero? all of a sudden a wrestler, all of a sudden they were referred to as a tag team, all of a sudden they were talented enough to topple the existing champs, etc.
i'd think, if anything, you'd agree that the push was too much, too fast (one week).
