WWE The Great American Bash 2007 (2007)

Waste of time

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

This was a good event. There were plenty of good matches, but it wasn't without its bad ones.United States Championship Match: MVP (c) vs. Matt Hardy - A very good opening match. It was given a good amount of time and it had more near-falls than you would expect from an opener. These two have really good chemistry. MVP retains with the Playmaker. RATING: ***1/4Cruiserweight Open: Chavo Guerrero (c) vs. Jamie Noble vs. Funaki vs. Shannon Moore vs. Jimmy Wang Yang - The match was fun to watch while it lasted, even if there isn't much storytelling to it. Hornswoggle comes in and wins the match, becoming the final Cruiserweight Champion. The hay?! RATING: **1/2Singapore Cane on a Pole Match: Carlito vs. The Sandman - A completely disposable filler match. Carlito wins. Next. RATING: *1/2Intercontinental Championship Match: Umaga (c) vs. Jeff Hardy - Another good match. Jeff Hardy is always exciting to watch, and he pulled a good match out of Umaga. Umaga retains with a Samoan Spike. RATING: ***1/4ECW Championship Match: John Morrison (c) vs. CM Punk - These two were still budding at this time, but they did manage to put on a very well-wrestled match. It could have used a few more minutes, though. John Morrison wins with a kick in mid-air. RATING: ***Texas Bullrope Match: Randy Orton vs. Dusty Rhodes - A complete waste of time. It was mostly to further establish Randy Orton as a legend killer, and it kind of failed even at that. Orton wins. RATING: DUD Triple Threat Match for the World Heavyweight Championship: The Great Khali (c) vs. Batista vs. Kane - This wasn't very good, but it's not like anyone expected it to be. The Great Khali retains his title. RATING: *3/4WWE Championship Match: John Cena (c) vs. Bobby Lashley - This was a great main event. It was a great powerhouse match that showcased both men very well. They build up plenty of drama and good near-falls. The show of respect after the match was also cool. John Cena retains his Championship with an Attitude Adjustment from the top rope. RATING: ****The bad matches do weigh it down, but several good matches and a fantastic main event make this a decent show overall.RATING: B-

Great American Bash was similar to Vengeance, in other words some matches were good and others were damn right bad.The Hardyz were super over in their matches with MVP and Umaga respectively and their matches were good, but both Hardyz lost which was disappointing. The Singapore Cain on a pole match was crap, as much as I like Sandman, Carlito deserved better, and the Cain didn't not come into play once. The triple threat match between Batista, Kane and Khali was bad, worse than that Khali used Kane's finisher which I thought was odd and when Kane and Batista choke slammed Khali on the announcers desk, it looked pathetic. The bull rope match between Randy Orton and Dusty Rhodes was rubbish, Rhodes looked 2 decades older than he actually is and the finish (Orton hit Rhodes with the Cow Bell, was an insult to the ticket buying fans). The Cruiserweight match which featured 5 performers was a joke, at the end Hornswoggle pinned Jamie Noble to become the Cruiserweight champion. Yes! Hornswoggle who didn't even participate in the match, was selected by WWE to become the next champion! The PPV had it's bright points though. The John Cena vs Bobby Lashley match was very good which was surprising, MVP and the Matt Hardy match was decent and the Jeff Hardy and Umaga match was very good.Results from the show: MVP downed Matt Hardy in a decent effort to retain the US title. Carlito beat the Sandman in a p*ss poor Singapore Cain on a pole match. Candice Michelle beat Melina in a passable match to retain the Women's title. Hornswoggle won the Cruiserweight Championship in a pathetic match. Umaga downed Jeff Hardy in a good match. John Morrison downed CM Punk to retain the ECW championship in a decent match. Randy Orton defeated Dusty Rhodes in a crap bull rope match. The Great Khali defeated Batista and Kane to retain the World title (Khali held the belt upside down during his entrance, what a buffoon!). John Cena downed Bobby Lashley in an exciting match to retain the WWE Championship.Overall Grade - B/C

With the Great American Bash one of my favorite events of the year, this was the greatest Bash ever, almost every match was entertaining, as this was a definitely a must see.FIRST MATCH- MVP {CHAMPION} VS. MATT HARDY FOR THE WWE UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP The match started off slow, but picked up later on, these two are capable of great matches in the future. Also the right amount of time was given in this match. MVP wins and retains his title with his finishing move on Hardy, the Playmaker. 5/10SECOND MATCH- CHAVO GUERRERO {CHAMPION} VS. JAMIE NOBLE VS. FUNAKI VS. SHANNON MOORE VS. JIMMY WANG YANG IN A CRUISERWEIGHT BATTLE ROYAL FOR THE WWE CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP I love Cruiserweight matches, and this is mostly the reason why, this match had all the high flying moves you would see in a Cruiserweight match, only seen on Friday Night. With all the Cruiserweights knocked down, Hornswoggle suddenly appears from under the ring, nails a Frog Splash from the top on Jamie to unbelievably win the Cruiserweight title. 6/10THIRD MATCH- CANDICE MICHELLE {CHAMPION} VS. MELINA FOR THE WWE WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP Candice has really improved in the ring ever since winning the Women's title. Melina just keeps getting better, this was a really nice Women's match as finally the Divas are putting on classic contests instead of being noticed as eye candy. Candice retains her title after nailing a Standing Bulldog on Melina. 5/10FOURTH MATCH- UMAGA {CHAMPION} VS. JEFF HARDY FOR THE WWE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP It started off with Umaga dominating the match, then Jeff Hardy fought back which brought the match to a great new level. Nice match here with a lot of crowd involvement. Jeff Hardy is really Championship material, and could be WWE Champion one day. Umaga nails Jeff with the Samoan Spike to retain his IC title. 6/10FIFTH MATCH- JOHN MORRISON {CHAMPION} VS. CM PUNK FOR THE ECW CHAMPIONSHIP These two by now know each other's moves and arsenals in the ring. They get better and better each time they are in the ring and this match is no exception. John Morrison retains his ECW title after his Corkscrew Neckbreaker on CM Punk. 5/10SIXTH MATCH- RANDY ORTON VS. DUSTY RHODES IN A Texas BULLROPE MATCH Some might say that this match was boring, or Dusty Rhodes is too old and should not wrestle again. Well this match did have that feel to it as it was a normal Texas Bullrope match which you would expect. Dusty Rhodes despite his age, still has something left in the tank, but it doesn't matter as Orton nails Rhodes with the cowbell on the head to win the match. After the match, Orton goes to beat up Dusty Rhodes, but his son Cody Rhodes comes in for the save, making Randy leave the ring in the process. 4/10SEVENTH MATCH- GREAT KHALI {CHAMPION} VS. BATISTA VS. KANE IN A TRIPLE-THREAT MATCH FOR THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP It takes Batista & Kane to put Khali in a good match, seriously Great Khali just cannot wrestle, if Kane was not in this match, this would be a train wreck. Batista is not that far behind Khali. Khali nails Kane with his Chokebomb for the win to retain his World Title. 5/10EIGHT MATCH- JOHN CENA {CHAMPION} VS. BOBBY LASHLEY FOR THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP This is practically a dream match, and what a better way for it to happen at the Great American Bash. This was a hats down contender for Match Of The Year. Kudos to Cena and Lashley, as they gave it all in this amazing contest, good job Cena and good job Lashley. Lashley will become WWE Champion one day, that's for sure. Cena nails the FU from the top to get the pin on Lashley to retain his WWE title. 6/10This was the greatest Great American Bash ever, as all of them are. Watching this amazing event makes one thing for sure, Smackdown is the Flagship of WWE and will be for the long time. Good job Smackdown and Kudos to WWE.Overall I'll give it 9/10 & a A

The Great American Bash Of 2007 Was Not Good. The Match's Seem Shorter And 2 Match's Were Just Jokes. John Vs Bobby Was A Great Match They Both Gave There Hearts In To It And I'm Happy That John Won But I Don't Think The Same About Bobby No More I Use To Hate Him Before This Then See The Way He Gave His Heart In To This Match I Do Think Hes A Good Wrester Now And Before I Did Not Think. The Great Khali Vs Kane Vs Batista Was Stupid The Great Is Not A Good Wrester He Should Not Be A Wrester Hes Just Big And The Would Wrestling Entertainment Made A Mistake My Making Him The Champ. Matt Hardy Vs MVP Was A Good Match What I'm Mad That Hardy Lost. Randy Orton Vs Dusty Rhodes Was Stupid And Plan Dusty Rhodes Can Not Wrester No More Hes To Told And Fat. And The Horns Match Was Stupid And Plan. And Jeff Hardy Vs Umaga Was A Good Match But I'm Bad That Jeff Hardy Lost. John Morrison Vs CM PUNK Was Not Very Good. And Thats What I Think About The Great American Bash Of 2007.
