LOWEST POINT IN WWe DVDS!

M. Grant | Detroit, Michigan | 08/01/2005

(1 out of 5 stars)

"This was one of the worst WWe PPV shows ever! Why anyone except maybe a WWe historian would consider owning it is beyond me. If I could give it a '0' rating I would.



The booking of the matches was some of the worst of all time. Skilled wrestlers like Chris Benoit should never lose to glorified jobbers like Orlando Jordan. The main event with Batista vs. JBL will put you to sleep. GUAR-AN-TEE!



If you're looking for quality wrestling DVDs, check out Shawn Michaels: From the Vault, Hard Knocks: The Chris Benoit Story, or The Ric Flair Collection.



AVOID THIS DVD AT ALL COSTS!"

"PLEASE PEOPLE THIS IS TO WRITE A REVIEW ON A WWE PPV. PLEASE STOP TRYING TO TELL US ON HOW GREAT (OR CRAPPY) TNA IS. NOBOBY CARES ABOUT HEARING ABOUT WRESTLING THAT NO ONE CAN FIND TO WATCH OR DISH OUT MONEY FOR A PPV WHERE WE DON'T FEEL LIKE SEEING JEFF JARRETT OR DDP WHO CAN'T GO ANYMORE."

WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP

MNM VS. LOD 2005

SUPRISED HOW MUCH THIS GOT THE CROWD GOING, BUT THAT IS JUST WHAT AN OPENER SHOULD DO. I MUST SAY I DIDNT LIKE THIS ONE. MNM ARE A GREAT NEW AND FRESH TAG TEAM, BUT ANIMAL ISNT WHAT HE WAS MANY YEARS AGO, WHILE HEIDENREICH HAS NO WRESTLING SKILLS. AT LEAST THEY KEPT IT SHORT AND AT A QUICK PACE. NOT TOO BAD OF A MATCH, BUT I JUST DIDNT ENJOY IT THAT MUCH. HARD TO RATE AS THE CROWD SEEMED TO ENJOY IT, BUT NOTHING TO FAIL.

WINNERS & NEW WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS: LOD

RATING: 5



CHRISTIAN VS. BOOKER T

PRETTY SOLID MATCHUP, BUT NOT AS GOOD AS SOME OF THEIR MATCHES IN THE PAST. CROWD WAS BEHIND CHRISTIAN MOST OF THE MATCH, AS WELL AS I WAS. PRETTY DECENT PACE, AS USUAL WITH THESE TWO. SOME PARTS GOT A LITTLE SLOW AND BORING, BUT IT GOT QUICKER AND BETTER. OVERALL A DECENT MATCH, WITH A PRETTY NICE ENDING, WITH BOOKER T HITTING A SCISSORS KICK FROM THE MIDDLE ROPE. AS A WRESTLING MATCH IT WAS GOOD, BUT I THINK THESE TWO COULD HAVE DONE BETTER.

WINNER: BOOKER T

RATING: 6



UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP

ORLANDO JORDAN VS. CHRIS BENOIT

A PRETTY SOLID MATCH. NOTHING SPECIAL AS USUAL IN AN ORLANDO JORDAN MATCH, BUT BENOIT DOES HIS BEST TO KEEP THIS ONE WATCHABLE. I HAVE TO GIVE HIM PROPS FOR MAKING OJ LOOK LIKE A SOMEWHAT DECENT TECHINICAL WRESTLER. BETTER THAN I EXPECTED, AS I DID HAVE LOW EXPECTATIONS. BESIDES THE LAME BOOKING HAVING OJ RETAIN AND THE ENDING, THIS WASNT ALL THAT BAD.

WINNER & STILL UNITED STATES CHAMPION: ORLANDO JORDAN

RATING: 5



CONTENDERS MATCH

UNDERTAKER VS. MUHAMMAD HASSAN

ANOTHER SOLID MATCH. ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT THE MATCH IS TOO SHORT. ODD TO SEE NO DISQUALIFICATIONS AS THE 'TERRORISTS' THAT CARRIED HASSAN TO THE RING CONTINUED TO INTERFERE. WHAT REALLY MADE THIS MATCH STAND OUT IS THE AFTERMATH, WHERE TAKER LAST RIDES HASSAN THROUGH THE STAGE! THAT WAS SICK. OVERALL WATCHABLE, AS IT WAS KEPT SHORT.

WINNER: UNDERTAKER

RATING: 6



6 MAN TAG TEAM MATCH

BWO VS. MEXICOOLS

THIS WAS A PRETTY AVERAGE MATCHUP. THIS WAS NOTHING YOU COULDNT SEE ON SMACKDOWN. THOUGH THE ENTRANCES WERE ENTERTAINING, THAT MATCH ITSELF WASNT VERY SPECIAL, THOUGH THEY DID KEEP A GOOD PACE GOING, AND IT WAS KEPT RELATIVELY SHORT. BUT IT WAS STILL OVERALL AN AVERAGE MATCH.

WINNERS: MEXICOOLS

RATING: 5



IF EDDIE WINS, HE REVEALS REY'S SECRET

EDDIE GUERRERO VS. REY MYSTERIO

FINALLY WE HAVE A 'GOOD' MATCH. BUT NOW ITS THE STORYLINE THAT KEEPS THINGS DOWN. WHEN YOU HAVE THESE TWO TOGEHER IN A MATCH, YOU KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE SOMETHING GOOD. THOUGH I MUST SAY, I WAS DISSAPOINTED WITH THE ENDING. EDDIE HITS A HUGE BRAINBUSTER, BUT SOON AFTER DOMINATING, REY JUST ROLLS HIM UP FOR THE WIN. NOT BAD AT ALL, BUT SOME THINGS KEPT IT FROM BEING GREAT LIKE IT COULD HAVE BEEN.

WINNER: REY MYSTERIO

RATING: 7



BRA & PANTIES MATCH

MELINA VS. TORRIE WILSON

ANOTHER AVERAGE WOMENS MATCHUP. THOUGH IT WAS PHYSICAL, AND THEY DID ACTUALLY WRESTLE, I DONT THINK ID GIVE THIS ONE A SECOND WATCH. I CANT PASS IT AS IT WASNT A VERY WATCHABLE MATCH, AND I WOULDNT RECOMMEND WATCHING THIS ONE.

WINNER: MELINA

RATING: 4



WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

BATISTA VS. JBL

WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS THIS!? THIS WAS JUST A LONG, BORING BRAWL, WITH NO WRESTLING IN IT WHATSOEVER. THIS HAD LESS WRESTLING THAN THE BRA AND PANTIES MATCH, AND BELIEVE ME, IF YOU WATCHED KING OF THE RING 2002'S MAIN EVENT, YOU'D KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. ONLY, THOSE TWO HAVE MORE POTENTIAL AS WRESTLERS THAN THESE TWO DO. BAD MATCH TO END THIS AVERAGE PPV. HARD TO SAY SKIP THIS MATCH, AS IT WAS THE MAIN EVENT, BUT I DONT RECOMMEND A FIRST LOOK.

WINNER BY DQ: JBL

WINNER & STILL WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION: BATISTA

RATING: 3



PPV RATING (41/80) = 51



OVERALL, GREAT AMERICAN BASH 2005 RECIEVED A (D) GRADE, MEANING IT WAS MEDIOCRE AND DISSAPOINTING. SOUNDS LIKE A LOW GRADE, RIGHT? WELL I CANT TELL YOU HOW MUCH I THOUGHT IT FAILED BEFORE I COUNTED THE SCORE. VERY MEDIOCRE SMACKDOWN PAY PER VIEW, AND I WOULDNT RECOMMEND IT. HARD TO SPLIT BETWEEN 1 OR 2 STARS, BUT SINCE IT WAS SO CLOSE TO AN F, I HAVE TO SCORE IT THAT WAY."
