A Major Disappointment

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

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. **

a million times better then last years but still not great. may be in wrong order1. M'N'M(TAG CHAMPS) Vs L.O.D WWE TAG TITLE MATCH5.5/10 raw look on and be jealous ....proper tag teams.. surprisingly a short match which got it its 5 rating but it was still decent and these are two good tag teams.2. Booker T Vs Christian7.5/10 Good match ..christian surprisingly had all the crowd support booker was booed whenever he mounted offence...good match with a few minor false finishes.3. Melina Vs Torrie BRA AND PANTIES Candice referee10/10 looks hotness...4.5/10 match.. as usual a poor womens match but this gets a 4.5 because they stripped each other down... candice looked SMOKING HOT when she got her stuff out at the end ...4. Orlando Jordan (US CHAMP) Vs Chris Benoit US TITLE MATCH6.5/10 a bit boring at times but OJ was impressive he dominated benoit in an impressive way at times.. people say its a shame he won ..i thought he did well5. Undertaker Vs Muhammad Hassan,7/10 despite the result being confirmed after cry baby upn's complaints about hassan..the match was very good ...it made undertaker seem like the old undertaker we know as he fought not only hassan but daivari and all the hooded men which made him seem untouchable..made him seem like a real tough guy.6. Mexicools Vs BWO5/10 a few decent moves but nothing more ....blue meanie shouldn't be allowed to wear belly tops its revolting7. Rey Mysterio Vs Eddie Guerrero8/10 Excellent Match from these two again.. the dominic storyline although at times annoying went well with there matches especially this one ....dominic had front row and was treated to a classic8. JBL Vs Batista ( WORLD CHAMP) WORLD TITLE MATCH6/10 Not a great match by any stretch of the imagination ...very average.. these two although very impactful with there moves tend to go into dry patches...crowd were lost a bit of the way through but they got back on after oj's interference which actually made the match better. expected ending ..for me anyway ...i saw it coming a mile off

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.

animal and heidenreich vs mnmthis match was probably the most shocking match i've ever witnessed, apart from the main event, but i'll get to that. animal and heidenreich win the titles with the doomsday device, they're new champsbwo vs mexicools fast paced match cause of the mexicools. about 10 springboard moonsaults by super crazy, mexicools winundertaker vs Muhammad hassanlots of interference by the sympathizers, undertaker beats hassan and last ride power bombs hassan through entrance rampEddie vs ReyRey wins again, Dominique looks terrified during matchOrlando Jordan vs Chris BenoitOrlando wins by cheating, what else is newMelina vs Torrie with Candace as referee Melina wins, Torrie gets payback by taking of Melina's pants, Candace joins in and Torrie and Candace walk away holding hands both in their underwearBatista vs jbljbl wins by dq after Batista hits Orlando Jordan in the head with a chair, yes you heard me right, Batista got disqualified for using an illegal weapon on someone who isn't even in the match, come on wwe, how stupid do your finishes get?
