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.

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

Just like last years GAB, this sucked. WWE's offer of three excellent PPV's in a row (Judgment Day, One Night Stand and Vengeance) made this writer wonder if they had been made to seen sense, but how wrong I was.Animal and Heidenreich (possible the worst team ever and an insult to Hawk) beat the best team in WWE right now, Joey Mercury and Johnny Nitro to win the WWE tag team titles in a rubbish match.Booker T beat Christian in a fair contest, however there was no build up to the match and it seemed that the match was only booked to pad the PPV out.The Mexicools (Super Crazy, Psicosis and Juventud) won the BWO (Stevie Richards, Simon Dean and The Blue Meanie) in a worthless match.Orlando Jordan beat, yes BEAT Chris Benoit in a slump. Why Benoit was wrestling Jordan the worst US champ in history is beyond me.The Undertaker pinned Muhammad Hassan.Melina beat Torrie Wilson in a p*ss poor match, no one cared about the result and it was understandable.Rey Mysterio beat Eddie Guerrero in the match of the night.John 'Bradshaw' Layfield beat Batista via DQ after Big Dave hit JBL with a chair in a lame main event.Overall Grade - D

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.
