Card Subject To Change

"you suppose to see Batista vs Mark Henry, but Henry has to injured his leg, so they made Batista's opponent is Mr. Kennedy, which is a very bad idea, even though kennedy is one of my favorite Smackdown superstars."

So what are they suppost to do, have Henry in there hopping on one leg? He got hurt, it happens.

"Also Lashley was suppose to be in the Triple Threat Match for the United States Championship match, but something happes and I forgot what it is and took him out of the match, which make the U.S Title match so dull and boring with 2 old men."

Lashey wasn't healthy & had liver problems & was taken out due to their new drug & health policy, again what were they suppost to do?

"And the match I was most looking forward to see did not happen is The First Ever Punjab Prison Match between The Undertaker vs The Great Khali. I expect it to be the match of the night but it is. Instead he wrestles The Big Show. And I got so mad that I found out of this."

Khali wasn't healthy & didn't pass the drug & health test so he got taken out...again, what were they suppost to do? You want these wrestlers to die off like Eddie Guerrero did?

" I was so pissed that The Undertaker never gets his revenge on The Great Khali. And they dont get to wrestle at Summerslam. This is so gay"

Because Khali sucks & all he can do it chop & kick, they put the match on SmackDown so they can edit it to make Khali look better than he was. If it was at SummerSlam...it would have sucked big time like their Judgment Day match. And why are you complaining, the match was on FREE TV & you didn't have to pay for it. Be happy.

A Rip-Off PPV

The Great American Bash PPV sucks. Exepct the for WCW PPV. For the past 2-3 years, this PPV's been unsucessful. What I mean since 2004 they brought back The Great American Bash, it has not been a very good event compare to Raw PPVs. Why I said it's a rip-off PPV cause you suppose to see Batista vs Mark Henry, but Henry has to injured his leg, so they made Batista's opponent is Mr. Kennedy, which is a very bad idea, even though kennedy is one of my favorite Smackdown superstars. Also Lashley was suppose to be in the Triple Threat Match for the United States Championship match, but something happes and I forgot what it is and took him out of the match, which make the U.S Title match so dull and boring with 2 old men. And the match I was most looking forward to see did not happen is The First Ever Punjab Prison Match between The Undertaker vs The Great Khali. I expect it to be the match of the night but it is. Instead he wrestles The Big Show. And I got so mad that I found out of this. I was so pissed that The Undertaker never gets his revenge on The Great Khali. And they dont get to wrestle at Summerslam. This is so gay October 18, 2006

The Best Great American Bash In WWE History

My SmackDown steak continues as this was the best Great American Bash that WWE has pulled off yet. It's funny how RAW gets more effort put into it yet SmackDown has the events that are worth watching. The Great American Bash in the past two years of the WWE has usually been one of the worst (if not, the WORST) PPV of the year & it looked like the same way with alot of last minute changes (CARD IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE!) but it still came off good.

Tag Team Champions Paul London & Brian Kendrick vs. Kid Kash & Jamie Noble - Sorry but out of respect to the ORIGINAL PITBULLS (from ECW), I won't call Kash & Noble by that name. It's no secret that I'm a fan of crusierweight action & you got that here in the tag team division. Great opening match that was actually given time to turn into something good.

United States Champion Finlay vs. William Regal - Lashley couldn't wrestle due to health issues so it was just a singles match. This was unique in the fact that both guys were heels so the fans didn't know who to cheer at times and that these guys were just two straight up wrestlers so it was a good wrestling match. Finlay's "little [...]" got involved at times to keep the match humorous (Regal has priceless facial expressions) but overall, it was a good wrestling match.

Crusierweight Champion Gregory Helms vs. Matt Hardy - Hardy replaced Super Crazy who also had some health issues but again, it was a nice match. For those trivia buffs, Hardy & Helms grew up together & actually started wrestling together back in their OMEGA promotion along with Jeff Hardy & Shannon Moore. This was a case of both guys can wrestle & go in the ring when they are allowed to do so & it didn't disappoint here.

Punjabi Prision Match: Undertaker vs. Big Show - Talk about a bait & switch because eventhough it leaked out on the internet for a week that Khali couldn't wrestle due to health issues, they kept advertising Khali before the ring entrances when Big Show took his place. The prision was created out of bamboo & looked similar to the "Kennell From Hell" (Hell In A Cell & a steel cage match in one). The match rules were a unique concept in which that you had 60 sec. to escape through a trap door in the first cage that had spikes at the top of it and then escape the second cage to win the match. Undertaker & Show did their best & it was better than the original "Kennel From Hell" match with Al Snow & Bossman but still, we've seen better performances from these two.

Four Way Bra & Panties Match: Ashley vs. Krystal vs. Michelle McCool vs. Jillian Hall - It's a bra & panties match...what can be said that hasn't been said already about bra & panties matches for the last 5 years.

Batista vs. Mr. Kennedy...Kennedy (sorry, just had to do that) - It was suppost to be Mark Henry but he got injured (surprize surprize!!!) so Mr. Kennedy stepped in at the last minute but he was nothing more than a body for Batista to completely massacre. Kennedy got a few shots in but the match was all Batista & he ended up getting disqualifed but Kennedy was the ultimate loser as his head was just absoluely bloody.

World (Heavyweight) Champion Rey Mysterio vs. King Booker - The match was actually really good but it was nothing more than a setup for the heavily teased (and predictable) heel turn of Chavo Guerrero on Rey Mysterio. Booker became the most deserving World Champion in WWE since Chris Benoit.

DVD extras included a Paul Heyman talking to Big Show after the match & King Booker's celebration on SmackDown followed by his match with Rey Mysterio on SmackDown which was very similar to their Bash match with the same ending of Chavo Guerrero costing Mysterio the match.


Again, third time is the charm as this was the best Great American Bash that WWE has put on. I recommend. October 7, 2006

Great American Bash 2006 is a 3 star ppv

80-76%-perfect
75-71%-awsome
70-66%-good
65-61%-poor
60-56%-awful

1. Brian Kendrick and Paul London vs. the pittbullls for the wwe tag team titles- This was a good match and was the second best of the night. I really liked how this played out. In one point in the match i thoguht this was going to end qucik but they gave this a strong 15 minutes to devolp. Back and forth actioon and lots of high flying moves by kendrick and london. Great action and good amtch. WInners and still wwe tag team champs Brian Kendrick and paul london. MAtch Rating 8.5/10.

2. Finlay vs. William Regal for the wwe us title- This is a hard match to describe. I would say that i was expecting alot more out of this match than i got. Nice promo by lashey before the match. Another thing that i did not like was the fact that i kenw who was going to win. Okay match with soild wrestling and funny apprences by little bastard. Winner and still wwe us champ Finlay. MAtch RAting 6.5/10.

3. Gregory helms vs. Matt hArdy for the wwe crusierwieght title- This origanly was supposed to be crazy vs. HYelms but it turned out to be hardy which was not a bad choice. I was upo and down about this macth as it started out slow but than picked up quick. Near the last 6 minutes of this match is when i started to get into it including alot of near falls whcih hardy kicked out of the sching wissard. I liked htis match. WInner and still wwe crusierwieght champ Gregory helms. match RAting 7.5/10.

4. Undertaker vs. Big Show on a pujambi prison match- This was a different kind of a match. I did not know what to expect of this at first but it turned out ok. I liked the fact of the new rules which added to the match. It started out slow but when they got out tof the first part of the cage like thing there were some nice table spots. WInner Undertaker. MAtch RAting 7/10.

5. Ashely vs. kristal vs. Michael Mcool vs. Jillian in a four way bra and panties match- This was a bad match. That is when this comes to wrestling wise. If u were talking about how hot the girsl looked it was good but there was no wrestling involved here and not that bad because they needed this match to slow the crowd down after that last match. WInner Ashely. MAtch Rating 3/10.

6. Batistia vs. Ken Kenndy- This was a good match to start off. Right from the bought this was brutal. Right from ythe get go there was blood poring from kenndedys head its was disgusting. Match was okay itself and apnned out ok but the dq ending hurt this match. Winner by dq Ken Kenndy. MAtch RAting 6.5/10.

7. Rey Mysterio vs. King Booker for the WHT- This was a great way to close off the show. SOme people might think i am over rating this but i really liked htis match. It started out ok and the entrences took a little long but after that it was awsome. Just a great pace and storyline to the matchand booker did not dominate the whole match. Lots of near falls and great back and forth action. A sick chair shot by chavo at the end of the match. WInner and new WHC King Booker . MAtch RAting 9/10.

Well that raps up another. I would give the great american bash 2006 a grade of 48/70 which is a 68% which means this is a good ppv. Iw ould say that this bash beats all of the others sience 2004 by alot not an awsome ppv but worth a look. If u can tell me if my review was helpful or not i would appreicate that. Thanks for your time September 4, 2006
