Reviews

fullenw MNM vs the New LOD for the tag titles - It was a nice comeback story for Animal.Christian vs Booker T - This match wasn't bad, but for a ppv match it wasn't as good as one would think.Undertaker vs Muhammad Hassan - For any Hassan fans, this was his last match in WWE. The match was fun though because he had a lot of backup and Undertaker went shell after the match.Mexicools vs BWO Eddie Guerrero vs Rey Mysterio - Another long list of superb matches they had together.Melina vs Torrie Wilson in a bra & panties match - Candice Michelle was the guest ref. The fans were the true winners in this one. (trust me)Orlando Jordan vs Chris Beniot for the U.S. title - For the "best pure athlete" and "best technical wrestler" This match was OK. Nice psychology though.Batista vs JBL - I loved the hype but this match was very slow. Their following match was kept short thats understandable.
kliko400 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
highlander_3 This is the first Smackdown brand PPV since the 2005 draft. Last years Great American Bash was one of the worst ppv's ever. It wouldn't be hard for this years event to improve on it. Match 1 - MnM VS Heidenreich and Road Warrior Animal. WWE Tag Titles I didn't expect this match to start the event but it wasn't bad. It didn't outstay it's welcome and when Animal got the tag towards the end it really picked up. Winners and new tag champs - Heidenreich and Road Warrior AnimalMatch 2 - Christian vs Booker T Could've been better but it wasn't too bad. Their match ups in 2003 were decent and there wasn't much heat going into this. If they had more TV to develop a storyline something better would have come from the match. Still it had it's moments and was passable entertainment Winner - Booker TMatch 3 - Orlando Jordan vs Chris Benoit. U.S Title I couldn't understand the lack of TV time they had going into this match. Benoit beat Booker T in a No 1 Contenders match and that was it. There wasn't even an exchange between the two until Heat before. But despite this they put on a decent match. Benoit did a great job and brought out the best in Jordan. I think it was the best match of his career up to that night. It seemed a competitive match and just about the title. Nothing else which is very rare for any title match on PPV. Winner - Orlando JordanMatch 4 - Mohammed Hassan vs The Undertaker I wasn't looking forward to this a great deal as Mohammed Hassan can hardly wrestle and Taker's been poor in the ring for the past year. But i was surprised to see a good and entertaining match. The whole interference thing actually helped the math a great deal and it was fun to see The Undertaker beat the crap out of six guys. The ending was a bit bogged though as when Hassan went through the stage the noise of him landing was badly timed. Winner - The UndertakerMatch 5 - Mexicools vs BWO A filler match which i expected to start the card. Not a good match and usually after something big has just happened on a PPV you get filler matches like this. Too short and really should have started the PPV. Winner - MexicoolsMatch 6 - Rey Mysterio vs Eddie Guerrero This rivalry has gotten too personal and i don't like these personal angles. They diverge from wrestling completely. Anyway the match was very good and i was very surprised to Rey win it. A lot of high spots were awesome and the psychology between the two in the ring was very good. Not as good as their match at Wrestlemania 21 but still a top match. Match of the night. Winner - Rey MysterioMatch 7 - Melina vs Torrie Wilson. Bra and Panties Mtch. Nothing much to say. I expected noting much from this match and i was right. I wasn't interested but Melina has got a decent rack on her. It's worth watching just to see that. Winner - MelinaMatch 8 - Batista vs JBL. World Title. I expected too much from this contest. It didn't deliver. There was hardly any wrestling in the whole match. Just punching and kicking. It did have some good moments and it beats the crap out of last years main event at the Great American Bash, the infamous Concrete Crypt match Winner - Batista
Jennifer_Gardner 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!!
