I though that WWE Great American Bash 2004 was one of the worst WWE Pay Per views that we have seen in a long time. And I was right, thank-god I didn't spend my hard earned money on this. I watched it for free via the Internet streaming.1. John Cena defeated. Booker T, Rene Dupree, Rob Van Dam in a Fatal 4 Way Elimination Match to Retain the United States Championship. This match was a very bad opener.Rating: 4/10 ( D - )2. Luther Reigns w/Kurt Angle defeated. Charlie Haas w/Miss Jackie This should have been on SmackDown!, Velocity not Pay Per View.Rating: 1/10 ( F )3. Rey Mysterio defeated. Chavo Guerrero to retain Cruiserweight Championship. A very great match indeed lots of action too. Best match of the night.Rating: 7/10 ( C + )4. Kenzo Suzuki w/Hirokio defeated. Billy Gunn Like I said for Haas vs. Reigns match this should have been on SmackDown! not Pay Per View.Rating: 0/10 ( F )5. Sable defeated. Torrie Wilson in a average divas match. Before Sable was in a bathtub wtf.Rating: 0/10 ( F )6. Mordecai defeated. Hardcore Holly in a not so good match. This should of also been on SmackDown! or Velocity.Rating: 2/10 ( F )7. John "Bradshaw" Layfield defeated. Eddie Guerrero to win the WWE Championship in a Texas Bullrope Match. This match was second best in my mind. I thought Eddie had won but then General Manager Kurt Angle dropped a big bomb and showed a replay of JBL touching the last turnbuckle before Eddie did, new Champion JBL.Rating 6/10 ( C )8. The Undertaker defeated. The Dudley Boyz w/Paul Heyman in a Concrete Crypt Handicap Match, this match was really dull and boring, for the first time ever an Undertaker match turned out to be garbage.Rating: 3/10 ( F )Taker would then crypt Bearer in concrete.Overall: Worst PPV of 2004.The Great American Bash 2004: 3/10 ( F )

RANDY SACKS if he wanna prove he is good then he could have gone on a match with John Cena from the beginning guess what you sack Randy and that is the reality. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo Randy sacks ha ha ha ha. Randy accept that you are a weak link and you actually know that Cena is good than you are. Gosh I've never seen a person who sacks like you; you are worse than everyone I've ever know and you know what you are afraid of challenges POOR THING. Actually you deserve to be a loser because you already are ha ha. Just pray to your cowboy so that he can pray that you can win because you terribly sack. Since you have started wrestle you have proved that you are a disorganized loser and a FREAK.

This was not just one of the worst PPV's in 2004, but one of the worst in WWE history!!!Match 1 sees Booker T, Rene Dupree, RVD and US Champ John Cena battle it out in a crap match. Why they put these four in this match I don't know. Cena won but no one cared.Next up three matches, which were the worst in WWE history took place. The first match saw Kenzo Suzuki taking on Billy Gunn in a terrible match, then Charlie Haas takes on Luther Reigns in a crap match. Finally Hardcore Holly takes on Mordecai in another crap match! My god!Torrie Wilson then battles Sable in another crap match! Why?!Light relief comes as Rey Mysterio takes on Chavo Guerrero in a fine contest, and then Eddie Guerrero loses his belt to JBL in a fun bull rope match. The fans were miffed by the outcome, because JBL turned into a millionaire in just one week, whereas he was the APA member the week before.Next up The main event took place. This was the worst main event in WWE history. The Undertaker took on The Dudley Boyz in a p*ss poor contest.I do not want to comment on the rest of this, because it's not worth it!Cena/Dupree/Booker/RVD - 5/10 Gunn vs Suzuki - 1/10 (Just for turning up to the arena) Haas vs Reigns - 1/10 Holly vs Mordecai -1/10 Sable vs Wilson - 1/10 Rey vs Chavo - 8/10 JBL vs Guerrero -7.5/10 Taker vs The Dudleyz - 1/10Just F'N awful!

I just went to Walmart of all places to get a wrestling DVD{not good choices guys} and they had the great American Bash on DVD so I thought what the heck it looks pretty good. So I bought it,got home and watched it and man did I feel ripped off. I had more trouble trying to stay interested in this then I did trying to actually watch it. They had like 2 good matches but the rest of the card had slow boring matches.1. John Cena vs RVD vs Renne Dupree vs Booker T. The first match for Booker T and Renne Dupreee since the pointless draft of Smackdown and Raw of 2004. I guess it started out OK but the match got kind of stupid as it became more of a 1 on 1 match when just 2 of the 4 wrestlers would fight each other and there would be 2 more wrestlers outside the ring doing nothing. Its a fatal 4 way guys. That means all 4 wrestlers are supposed to fight in this. Anyways I'm no John Cena fan but I thought he really kept the crowd interested in this. So did Booker T. They have pretty good chemistry. I give this match a 2 out of 10.2. Charlies Hass vs Luther Reigns. This was a terrible match. Charlie Hass how far you have fallen since your tag team days with Shelton Benjamen. Charlie Hass did have to carry Luther through this match who looked lost at times and didn't seem like he knew what he was doing. This match got really good when it ended.3.Billy Gunn vs Kenso Susuki. Another bad match with missed spots. The match itself was so and it was hard to stay interested. You would think after 10 years of being in the WWE that they would push Billy Gunn better. But this had to be the worst match ever.4. Rey Mystero vs Chavo Gurerrero. Good match,high movies,great fast paced action. Finally it was starting to get good. Rey and Chavo work great together and they managed to wake up the fans in this match. This is the way a wrestling match should be. Fast paced and more then just punching and kicking.5. Hardcore Holly vs Mordeci. Not the best match. Hardcore Holly put the rookie over and the fact is the WWE much like the way they are using Billy Gunn,are doing the same thing to Hardcore Holly. Used to push wrestlers that can't wrestle.6. Eddie Guerrero vs JBL. Man this was the match that start a pointless JBL push. The guy can't wrestle at all. All he does is punch and kick. Not a bad match but I feel sorry for the WWE having to let Eddie lose the title to a man with no ability rather then keep the title on a man who has ability. And people wonder why Smackdown ratings have been down since JBL won the title.7. Undertaker vs the Dudley Boyz. This match wasn't what it could have been. I was expecting more violence in this one. The fact is this match was more of a tag team match then a 2 on 1 match. And the way they handled this storyline was awful. The Dudleys are OK but this wasn't the storyline for them. The Undertaker put on a OK match but he was better of as the American Badass. Besides if you look real carefully the Undertaker looked really bored during this match and looked like he didn't want to be part of this Paul Bearer abducting angle anymore.I gotta tell ya after seeing this pay per view it makes me wonder what ever happened to the heart of the WWE. Skip this pay per view by any means.
