4.0 out of 5 stars Best Great American Bash the WWE has put on, July 14, 2008

This review is from: WWE: The Great American Bash 2007 (DVD)

Since the WWE brought back the Bash in 2004, they wasn't all that good, but I believe this was the best Bash the WWE has put on since bringing the Great American Bash back to ppv.

1. United States Championship

Matt Hardy vs. MVP

This was one of the best openers of the year. These 2 really work well with each other and they put on a good showing. Lost of back and fourth action, a lot of close near pin falls, and some good wrestling to add to it. Great back and fourth match up. The crowd was very into this one. 4/5

2. Cruiserweight Open for the Cruiserweight Championship

Chavo Guererro vs. Funaki vs. Shannon Moore vs. Jimmy Wang Yang vs. Jamie Noble

This wasn't a bad match whatsoever. Some good high flying offense and some good wrestling. I wasn't too fond of the conclusion but it worked in pretty well. 3/5

3. Singapore Cane on a Pole Match

Sandman vs. Carlito

Before I start, the cane does not even get used once in this entire match. Kind of boring but I really liked the ending, it was pretty good to me. 2.5/5

4. Women's Championship

Melina vs. Candice Michelle

I give credit to these two divas, they really put on a good match. Its a shame that Candice got injured when she did, she is really trying to become the next Trish so a speak in wrestling ability for the divas now a days. This was a pretty darn good women's match up. 3.5/5

5. Intercontinental Championship

Umaga vs. Jeff Hardy

This was another good match up as well. Umaga had his powerhouse and big impact moves going for him and Hardy had his classic Hardy high flying offense working for him too. Hardy did everything he could to beat Umaga but it didn't work for him this night. It was amazing to see Hardy picking up Umaga & trying to slam him. The crowd was really into this match as well. Very good match. 4/5

6. Ecw World Championship

CM Punk vs. John Morrison

These 2 always put on a good show no matter what the situation is and this match was no exception. Pretty good match but it ended so suddenly. 4/5

7. Texas Bull Rope Match

Randy Orton vs. Dusty Rhodes

Now the match wasn't bad but it just didn't gave anything special besides a hard head shot with the cowbell at the end. Orton kills another legend. 3/5

8. World Heavyweight Championship

Batista vs. the Great Khali vs. Kane

This was pretty above average triple threat with these 3 big men. Khali really didn't do anything worth seeing but it got better when Kane and Batista took out Khali with the announce table. Good match to see after it was thrown together at the last minute on smackdown 2 days earlier. 3.5/5

9. WWE Championship

Bobby Lashley vs. John Cena

This match really surprised me, a lot. Cena actually tryed to wrestle in this match but Lashley really did took Cena to school and back. Lashley proved he could be the champion one day and I believed he earned his in this match. Lashley really dominated Cena during this match. 4/5

Like I said earlier, this was the best Great American Bash the WWE has put on since buying WCW in 2001. I recommend on getting your hands on this one.

1) MVP VS MATT HARDY (UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH)

THIS MATCH IS SURPRISINGLY PRETTY GOOD! IT HAS A LOT OF NONSTOP ACTION THROUGHOUT THE MATCH. MVP FINISHES THE MATCH WITH A PLAYMAKER WINNER: MVP 7/10

2) CHAVO GUERRERO VS. JIMMY WANG YANG VS. FUNAKI VS JAMIE NOBLE VS SHANNON MOORE (CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP OPEN)

THIS MATCH IS AMAZING JUST BECAUSE OF THE ENDING..IT HAD THE MOST SURPRISING ENDING EVER! WINNER: OUT OF ALL PEOPLE HORNSWOGGLE!! 1000/10

3) CARLITO VS. SANDMAN (SINGAPORE CANE ON A POLE MATCH)

THIS MATCH IS REALLY BORING AND THEY FIGHT BACK AND FORTH TRYING TO GET THE CAN DOWN AND THEN SANDMAN FINALLY GETS IT AND DOESNT EVEN GET A HIT ON CARLITO WITH IT! WINNER: CARLITO 5/10

4) CANDICE MICHELLE VS MELINA (WOMENS CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH)

CANDICE MICHELLE IS THE BEST WOMENS CHAMP YET BESIDES TRISH..SHE HAS A LOT OF TALENT AND SHE SHOWS IT IN THIS MATCH WINNER: CANIDCE 7/10

5) UMAGA VS JEFF HARDY (INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH)

THIS MATCH WAS AWESOME CONSIDERING UMAGA HAS NO TALENT AT ALL! JEFF HARDY PUTS ON A HELL OF A SHOW IN THIS MATCH. AND HE COMES SO CLOSE TO WALKING AWAY WITH THE GOLD WINNER: UMAGA 8/10

6) JOHN MORRISON VS CM PUNK (ECW WORLD CHAMIONSHIP MATCH)

THIS MATCH WAS OK..ITS BETTER THAN THE VENGEANCE MATCH FOR SURE BUT STILL NOT GREAT..HOPEFULLY THERE SUMMERSLAM MATCH WILL BE BETTER WINNER: JOHN MORRISON 7/10

7) RANDY ORTON VS DUSTY RHODES (TEXAS BULL ROPE MATCH)

THEY CHANGED THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF A BULL ROPE MATCH..YOU HAVE TO PIN IN STEAD OF TOUCH ALL FOUR RING POSTS..I THOUGHT THAT THIS MATCH WAS HORRIBLE..BUT RANDY ORTON WINS AND THAT WAS THE ONLY GOOD THING WINNER: RANDY ORTON 6/10

8) THE GREAT KHALI VS BATISTA VS KANE (TRIPLE THREAT MATCH FOR THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP)

THIS WAS ACTUALLY PRETTY GOOD..KHALI MAKES A HORRIBLE CHAMPION THOUGH..THERE IS SOME COOL PARTS LIEK WHEN KANE AND BATISTA DO A SPINEBUSTER/CHOKSLAM TO KHALI THROUGHT THE ANNOUNCER TABLE WINNER: THE GREAT KHALI 8/10

9) BOBBY LASHLEY VS JOHN CENA (WWE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH)

THIS MATCH WAS THE BIGGEST DISSAPOINTMENT EVER!!! THIS MATCH HAD SO MUCH BUILD UP AND THEN IT WAS A COMPLETE FAILURE! I WAS WAITING TO SEE THIS MATCH SO BAD AND THEN IT WASNT ANYTHING SPECIAL! WINNER: JOHN CENA 7/10

OVERALL ITS WORTH RENTING BUT NOT BUYING

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Worth The Live PPV Price But Worth A Rental, October 9, 2007

This review is from: WWE: The Great American Bash 2007 (DVD)

United States Champion MVP vs. Matt Hardy - The beginning of what has become the most entertaining fued currently on SmackDown! Good opener here as they went to the top rope & stayed on the mat thoughout various times in the match. These two meshed well together & it was given enough time (over 15 mins.) you would enjoy a rematch between the two.

Crusierweight Open Match: Unlike other Crusierweight Opens, all the guys were in the ring at the same time & the first one to get the pin wins. This was the best Crusierweight Match I've seen in WWE this year as it showcased what the division should be all about. There was some high flyin'spots along with good fast paced in ring wrestling. The ending with Hornswoggle was funny & it didn't take away from the match itself. As a side note, listen for the line from JBL that said, "He's the shortest champion since Tazz" as that will come into play later on.

Singapore On A Cane Match: I just didn't think this match was good at all. They didn't mesh well & the cane didn't even come into play until the finish when Sandman finally got it but got that "backstabber" right afterwards before the cane was even used.

Womens Champion Candice Michelle vs. Melina - I have to give credit to Candice Michelle as she's heavily improved in the ring as it showcased here. Very good Women's match and another in a good series of womens matches been having after that WrestleMania disaster. Check out what Candice did backstage after the match in a moment worthy of Ron Simmons' "DAMN!"

Intercontinental Champion Umaga vs. Jeff Hardy - This match was good & watchable as they followed the basic formula of the Umaga beating down Hardy only for him to get his comeback and go back & forth with Umaga until Umaga overcame & got the victory. This was one of the rare matches that the crowd got into thoughout the night which made it seem better but besides that, another good match.

ECW Champion John Morrison vs. CM Punk - Before I get started, listen for Tazz's comeback to the J.B.L. line earlier in the show where he said something to the degree of "I'm not the type of color man to put myself over. Nobody wants to hear that." The match was better than their Vengeance encounter & comes in right behind their ECW on Sci-Fi match (where Punk won the title) as their best encounter.

Bullrope Match: Dusty Rhodes vs. Randy Orton - This was a very short match that served it's purpose in that Randy Orton beat another legend...in this case, the legend who created the event itself. Besides that & Cody Rhodes appearence after the match, nothing noteworthy here.

World Champion Great Khali vs. Batista vs. Kane - Another injury & another champion in Khali here. All I can really say about this match is that this match was alright whenever Khali wasn't in it as the only good spot he did was going through the ECW announce table (I guess the spanish guys got replaced?). Batista & Kane tried but you can't pull a good performance out of a guy who doesn't have it in him.

Right around here, there was a segment between Jerry Lawler & King Booker that would set up their fued on RAW for the coming weeks but nothing happened here & came off as a boring filler.

WWE Champion John Cena vs. Bobby Lashley - While this match didn't have the buildup like WrestleMania, WWE sure did hype this match up like they would do a WM main event with video packages of each man's career throughout the night. The match stated out slow but worked it's way up thoughout the match. They exchanged some power moves with Lashley working on Cena's ribs throughout the match. The ending had Cena dropping an FU from the top rope. I thought this was Lashley's best PPV performance since before his ECW run while this was one of Cena's best "non-gimmick" matches during his WWE Championship run.

Overall, this PPV WASN'T worth the $40 WWE charged you to see live on PPV but it's worth the money for a rental as the matches were good & watchable with few moments that you would use the "skip" button for. I recommend for a rental or a purchase for a low price.
