Absolutely Fantastic

I don't know why, but I seriously like the Great American Bash PPV's. Last year's was alright, but this year's was better than last years.FIRST MATCH- ANIMAL & HEIDENREICH VS. MNM W/ MELINA FOR THE WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP{Great to see Animal back} Also great action for the start of the match. Animal & Heidenreich are great as a team. Animal & Heidenreich win after a modified Doomsday Device Slam for the win & to become new WWE Tag Team Champions. 5/10SECOND MATCH- BOOKER T W/ SHARMELL VS. ChristianGood decent match by these two. They showed some cool wrestling moves & got a great match going on as well. Booker T wins after going on the top rope & nailed a Scissors Kick from there on Christian for the win. 5/10THIRD MATCH- CHRIS BENOIT VS. ORLANDO JORDAN FOR THE WWE UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIPThis was also a great match which I was really looking forward to seeing. I wanted Benoit to win, but OJ cheated to get the win after slamming Benoit on the exposed turnbuckle & covering him for the 3 count to get the win & retain his US Title. 5/10FOURTH MATCH- MUHAMMAD HASSAN W/ DAIVARI VS. UNDERTAKER IN A NO. 1 CONTENDERS MATCHNot bad, but could have been better. {By the way Muhammad Hassan had about 7 men surrounding the ring for no reason.} Even though I wanted Muhammad Hassan to win, Undertaker got the victory after a Chokeslam for the win to become No. 1 Contender. 4/10FIFTH MATCH- EDDIE GUERRERO VS. REY MYSTERIO IF EDDIE WINS HE WILL REVEAL REY'S SECRET IF REY WINS THEN EDDIE WILL NOT REVEAL HIS SECRETNot the best of their match but it was still good. {Rey's son Dominik was at ringside watching the match}. Eddie dominated Rey for almost the whole match until suddenly Mysterio countered Eddie's pin after a Frog Splash into a roll-up for the 3 count as his unknown secret will still be kept quiet. 4/10SIXTH MATCH- MELINA VS. TORRIE Wilson IN A BRA & PANTIES MATCH SPECIAL GUEST REFEREE: CANDICE MICHELLEBoring, just boring. What is up with all these Diva matches. Melina wins after stripping Torrie first in her Bra & Panties. After the match Torrie & Candice together strip Melina in Bra & Panties as she runs away backstage. Later Candice takes her own clothes off & is in her Bra & Panties just like Torrie much to the delight of the fans. 2/10SEVENTH MATCH- MEXICOOLS {SUPER CRAZY, PSICOSIS & JUVENTUD} VS. BWO IN A 6-MAN TAG TEAM MATCHA cool 6-man tag team match which saw the Mexicools do some cool high-flying moves. The Mexicools win after nailing a double team move on Steven Richards for the win. 4/10EIGHT MATCH- JBL VS. BATISTA FOR THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIPA bit boring, slow & sloppy. It starts to get fast paced which great moves & wrestling style, but later it gets boring. JBL wins by DQ after Batista slammed him with the Championship Belt which the referee caught him so. After the match Batista goes berserk & nails both JBL & Orlando Jordan {Who tried to interfere during the match} with a steel chair followed by giving each of them a Batista Bomb as the PPV goes off the air. 4/10So this was another Great American Bash PPV which was just a but better than last years.Overall: I'll give it 7/10 & a C

While there is nothing really disgraceful in this PPV (apart from the Eddie-Rey storyline), there is also nothing really worth going out of your way to see.1) MNM vs. Animal and Heidenreich (for the tag team title). An old-fashioned (if that makes sense) match, with lots of big power moves. Nothing really special, apart perhaps from Animal's dedication of the win to his late partner Hawk. ** 2) Christian vs. Booker T. Average wrestler vs. average wrestler = average match. By the way, Sharmell is beautiful. **3) Orlando Jordan vs. Chris Benoit (for the US title). I liked Benoit's matches with HHH better, he was allowed to use more technique there. Here, Jordan has the upper hand most of the time and when Benoit attacks it's mostly with "chops". **4) The Undertaker vs. Muhammad Hassan. Hassan is a total bore on the mic (just compare his promos with those of JBL). Someone in the WWE probably figured that this match was going to be a total bore as well, so they turned it into a kind of 6-on-1 handicap match, with five masked fellows trying to help Hassan. Guess what - the match is still a bore! And it goes on and on and on and on....*5) The Mexicools vs. Blue World Order. A very enjoyable 5-minute mess. We need more matches like this to remind us that wrestling can be fun. **1/26) Rey Mysterio vs. Eddie Guerrero (RIP). The storyline behind this match sucks hard, and now that Eddie is dead it's even more uncomfortable to watch. Comments (by Michael Cole and Tazz) that he's a "despicable pig" and that "manipulation is his new drug addiction" don't help matters. It's hard to imagine Eddie and Rey ever being in a worse match than this one - if you take it seriously, it's unwatchable. ** 7) Melina vs. Torrie Wilson. Bra and Panties match, with Candice as the special guest referee. Very short match, maybe under 5 minutes. Both women are game, but it's a little hard to concentrate on the wrestling when you have to strip down your opponent. A regular match between these two might have been a better idea. It's not like the divas are overdressed in the regular matches anyway. **8) JBL vs. Batista (for the world heavyweight title). A very sluggish brawl. If it weren't for a sleeper applied by JBL halfway through, you'd hardly know this was supposed to be a wrestling match. The ending is not very satisfying for a title match either. **

This is the second Great American Bash that the Smackdown brand has held. Now upon ordering this pay per view I was kind of worried that I would get a repeat of last years Great American Bash. Last years was one of the worst pay per views. But I was wrong. This years gave us more then what last years did.Match 1. Animal and Hedenrech vs MNM. OK match. It was nice to see Animal back in the WWE affter Hawk died months ago. This was a OK match. Hedenrech needs to work on his matt skills a little better but he keeps improving with every pay per view that goes by. MNM is a great young team. But as of late they seemed to be the only team out there. The WWE needs to expand the tag team divisions on both Raw and Smackdown. Match 2.Christan vs Booker T. This was Christans first Smackdown pay per view since jumping from Raw to Smackdown. Pretty good match. A lot of Booker T sucks chants during the match since Christan seemed to be the favorite to win this match even though Christan was the heel and Booker was the face. Booker T needs to learn some new moves. Match 3. Chris Beniot vs Orlando Jordan for the US title. This was a good match. Beniot proved why he can go into a match and carry anyone over. Orlando Jordan isn't the best wrestler around and its funny at times listing to Tazz accidentally call Orlando Jordan, Shelton Benjamen from Raw. Big difference Tazz. Non the less this match did deliver some good wrestling action. Good moves. This was Chris Beniots first match upon coming back to Smackdown from Raw. Match 4. Undertaker vs Mohmaed Hussan. This feud got a lot of heat from the boys at the UPN network. Hassen did a angle with masked men pretending to be terrorist on the same day of the London terrorist attacks. And this ended up being Hassens first and only match on a Smackdown pay per view. This match was really violent at the end and it could have been a bit better had there been more build up. Match 5. BWO vs the Mexicools. This was a 6 man tag team match. Didn;t pay attention to it that much since the days of wrestling groups seemed to be over. Match 6. Torrie Wilson vs Malenia. This was a brawl and panties match. OK match. It would be nice if Smackdown would create a womens title and make Torrie Wilson and others show more wrestling holds in the ring instead of the getting tired Braw and Panties match. Match 7. Batista va JBL for the World Title. This match had a lot of hype. This was Batistas first Smackdown pay per view since coming to Smackdown. Finally Smackdown got a real champion and not the paper champion they had with John Cena. This match started out good but it got boring really quickly because it was just punching and kicking. And the match had a bad ending. It wouldn't hurt JBL to learn some new moves.Overall this pay per view wasn't perfect. But it was a step up from last years.

The bash of last night was a very good pay-per-view! It's not Ring of Honor or TNA... but it was fairly done by the WWE Management, many will complains about the endings but the wrestling was very good!!MNM vs. Heidenreich & Animal Good opener with some strong words at the end by Animal! Rating: 7/10Christian vs. Booker T. Awesome match from start to beginning, the ending surprise me as it was a sick sick finisher by Booker T! Rating: 8,5/10United States Title: Orlando Jordan vs. Chris Benoit A bit disappointed by the ending but Benoit was on fire and prove why he's championship material, he should feud for the World Title again. Rating: 8/10#1 Contenders Match: Muhammad Hassan w/Daivari vs. Undertaker Good squash, Hassan is really bland and stinks as a character but the match was good thanks to The Undertaker. Rating: 8/10Mexicools vs. Blue World Order Look to the entrance of blue world order, people were going nuts, it was so funny, the match was cool and entertaining, a bit fast thought. Rating: 7/10Rey Mysterio vs. Eddie Guerrero Match of the night, I can't get enough of theses 2 wrestler, they know each others well and the drama of the match add a lot! Rating: 9/10Bra & Panties Match: Torrie Wilson vs. Melina with Candice Michelle as Referee Melina have talent, Torrie is still pretty bland in the ring and you got Candice as the hot chick referee for this match! A entertaining match with a good crowd. unpredictable (finally) Rating: 7/10World Title: Batista vs. JBL BORING match, this match kill a great night of wrestling, Batista was really bad in that match and JBL try to carry him to a good match but was unable, still, the end was interesting with a Batista on freaking fire! Rating: 3/10So bottom line, if you skip the main event, a very good night of wrestling, buy the DVD when it comes out!!
