Bradshaw

[Aussie Skier]

Just wondering how Bradshaw went in the PPV?

I heard he was pretty good?

[#1-norm-fan]

I personally think he did pretty damn good. I was impressed.

[Pegasus Crawford]

I still think JBL looks like a mental patient when he smiles.

[The Mackem]

I've downloaded the match but haven't watched it yet. If he does well, I'll let it be known.

[The Mackem]

I can't remember the last match I enjoyed so much, it was one hell of a fight/story.

[The CyNick]

Yeah I agree. Awesome storytelling in the match. Obviously most of that was Eddie, but Bradshaw looked pretty good as well, and he held his own. I'm looking forward to the rematch at GAB.

[Team Sheep]

Yeah, both men performed outstandingly, and it was a surprisingly entertaining match. :y:

[Joe Kerr]

ok right before i took my leave everyone was complaining about Bradshaw and his "lack of talent" now in that month ive been gone Bradshaw hasnt really wrestled he took on mysterio and eddie. He's still the same wrestler as before. Even with a clothesline for a finisher Bradshaw is the number one heel on smackdown and deserves credit for that. He did well at Judgement day and im sure he will continue to do well.

[Kamchadal.]

I was not looking forward to the match at all. After I watched it, I must say that I was impressed. Bradshaw did great (it helped that he was in there with a great wrestler).

[Team Sheep]

Has anyone got Bradshaw's music? It's histerical :lol:

[BasicThuganomics]

I believe Bradshaw performed better than he ever has (after d/l the match for free) But I am still not convinced that he was the best choice to be pushed to the main event because we all know that RVD or Booker could have done twice as good as Bradshaw. If the ratings start to increase leading up to the GAB then I'll be impressed. But the crappy buyrate expected for the event, and the bad ratings leading up until JD, makes me think he was still brought up too quickly when Booker was already more over, more credible, and more entertaining than JBL could ever be. Booker had a gimmick that was easy to sell and would have made for an AWESOME fued between him and Eddie. But despite this I do believe JBL deserves credit for stepping up his game like he did. But his comments in the column were still stupid, stereotypical, and just immature for someone to say.

like Kamchadal said Bradshaw did step up his game but I believe that the match was good because Bradshaw was in the ring with Guerrero (the best wrestler on smackdown right now). Still think that it should have been Booker T in the ring with Eddie as they set up the foundations of a feud when Booker called smackdown the minor leagues but they missed out. Hopefully when Eddie's feud wiht Bradshaw finishes and T is finished with 'Taker then we will see this feud which has the potential to be a classic.

[Marc the Smark]

The ppv has passed now. I hope they're finished with Bradshaw.

[Team Sheep]

I doubt the WWE is done with Bradshaw yet. The match ended in DQ, they're bound to have a re-match.

[Ian]

bradshaw is gonna win the title.

[The Show Off]

I love the type of match that Eddie and Bradshaw put on at Judgement Day, a match that is feuled more but emotion and story telling, then spots and wrist locks. Personally watching the match I thought most people would have hated it, because it was very similar to the Steiner v. Triple H match at Royal Rumble '03 that everybody panned. Perhaps it's because people like Eddie and they don't like Triple H, I'm not too sure. Or maybe it's because I'm the only one that still likes Steiners wrestling style. Either way Bradshaw/Guerrero was one hell of a match. I wouldn't be surprised if there main event at Great American Bash would be a street fight, cause that's where it looks like it's going... Either way bravo Bradshaw, you've finally vindicated why I thought you deserved that push about a 2 years ago before you got injured.

[John la Rock]

the match was way better than expected. Bradshaw did look really good. The match started off slow but after JBL's brutal chair shot on Eddie the match became very entertaining and became a pure blood bath. I can't believe I'm actually saying this but I want this feud to continue. A street fight at GAB sounds good to me :y:

[big_bluto]

Sorry guys but I've got to disagree with you here.
I thought the match was pretty good, but give the credit where it's due - Eddie.
Bradshaw is a useless bucket of fu</>ckmince, and the only reason that match turned out as good as it did was because Eddie carried him.
It's not fair that Eddie should have to carry him all summer, so that's probably what WWE will have him do.
Give JBL the title and my TV is gonna get posted to WWE HQ with a note on it for Eddie Guerrero saying, "Eddie, please find attached my TV. Please hit that ar</>se pi</>ss bas</>tard moonwank tw</>at, Bradshaw with it. Regards, Big Bluto."

[Corkscrewed]

I think Bradshaw did acceptably, but that's the thing, he did above average with Eddie. A great wrestler would have made it a five star match. As it is, the match was merely a little more than watchable. And of course, had Eddie not bled half his blood, it might not have even been that good.

I think Eddie carried a lot of it, though Bradshaw does deserve some credit for keeping up and all.

[darkpower]

Personally, I didn't see the match (I had to work that night, and this is the first time, believe it or not, I am hearing about the match being avaliable for download), but from the sounds of things, it was better than expected. We knew we weren't going to get the five star match because JBL's push was extremly quick, and in some people's minds rather desperate on the SmackDown writer's part because everyone that would've been crediable (Lesner, Angle, Edge, hell, even Big Show) were either pulled to RAW, quit completly, or got injured, and they had little else to go on. The emotions that were riding on the match was basically that of pure hatred for each other.

I would REALLY enjoy a street fight between the two, because THAT'S the kind of athlete that JBL is. More of a brawler than a wrestler (at least that's what I think the WWE wants out of him, at least). When they did the Holly/Lesner feud, one of my grips was that they were trying to make Holly look like Benoit or Eddie, when they knew that it wasn't him doing locks and holds that got him to be 1998-style popular. It was actually his hardcore antics (aside from him working with the late and great Crash Holly) that made Hardcore Holly watchable. So I was hoping for a more of a street fight match at the Rumble between the two (I think I said once before that I wished they had let it be a street fight, and just let them go). But it seems that they are doing the right thing with JBL. Not an Eddie, Angle, or Benoit, but he could possibly shine (I know, a longshot, but I'm all for being optimistic) in a street fight.

As for the comments on WWE.com, I have already dismissed it as one of Vince's tactics, because there's been an awful lot of people from WWE dissing the net as of late, and, because of Vince's desires of wanting to stray away from non-kayfabe things on offical WWE "things", it could HAVE been a kayfabe thing that JBL did on WWE.com (a pretty ill-timed one, I would say, if that were true), and we ALL know Vince's logic is different from anyone else's (once you figure him out, we see a brand new side come from him). So I don't really worry about it that much.
