Official: Great American Bash Thread
 

http://www.wwe.com/content/media/tou...e/29062/904824

The 2005 Great American Bash figures to be one of the most exciting SmackDown! pay-per-views of the year.

With the 2005 WWE Draft Lottery now complete, a host of new Superstars will be looking to have an immediate impact on the SmackDown! roster.

First and foremost, World Heavyweight Champion Batista will take on former WWE Champion JBL. JBL, still seething over not being named the SmackDown! Champion, will get his chance to regain the top spot on the SmackDown! roster - a spot he feels he rightly deserves.

Meanwhile, Muhammad Hassan, another stunner of a draft lottery pick, will face Undertaker, with the winner becoming the No. 1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship.

Chris Benoit will try and end Orlando Jordan's reign as United States Champion at The Great American Bash.

Also, MNM will put their WWE Tag Team Championship on the line when they face Heidenreich and his new friend and legendary partner Road Warrior Animal. Melina will also be busy taking on Torrie Wilson in a Bra & Panties Match.

More announced matches include Christian vs. Booker T and the much-awaited Eddie Guerrero vs. Rey Mysterio match, where a Latino Heat victory will lead him to reveal Mysterio's secret.

Finally, tired of seeing the Mexicools interrupting matches on SmackDown!, the bWo has challenged the newcomers to a match at The Great American Bash.

Can anyone else see JBL beating Batista thanks to the Hassan situation?

Somehow i don#t see taker doing the job tonight with hassan either being given the boot or shifted to raw =/

Then again i doubt he woulda done it regardless. :shifty:

The obviously didn't pre-warn Sky over here, because they showed the whole Terrorist angle in that video package

maybe this whole Hassan thing is a work to get the all of us talking then shock us with the Hassan win tonight, they have been paying more attention to the "Internet Fans" recently..

Okay lets pray that Hassan gets the win tonight

I doubt that UPN execs aren't smart enough to release BS statements....

Just watched the London/Nunzio match and I will never be comfortable watching a SSP. I once agin almost thought that was going to fall on his head.

Out of interes, when they played that intro video with h the falg and the eagle, was I the on;y one hoping to hear "ALLLLEEEEYAAAAALLLEEYYYYAAA"

First match: MNM VS Road Warriors V2

Tag title match up first

Melina looks rather nice

Damn it Heidenreich should be wearing LOD spikes

I don't like this dimmed down version of the Road warriors theme song....

A nickle says Torrie somehow gets involved.

Animal and Heidenreich dominate early on. Animal with an awesome double suplex. MNM get back in the match after Nitro gives Heidenreich a chop block. The two work on Heidenreich's leg. Heidenreich gets the hot tag to Animal who tales down Mercury with a back suplex. Nitro hits Animal with a belt but Animal kicks out. Doomsday Device! 1-2-3

One prediction right

Animal says "Hawk, this one was for you brother"

Riiiiiiight

The only Tag Team in the company drops the belts

That makes two of us.... and this is really they only match on the fence(maybe Booker T vs Christian)

Actually I saw Danny Doring and Roadkill yesturday on Velocity against MNM. They looked pretty good

Peeps Unite, it's Captain Fucking Charisma

Yeah, they also got zero reaction from the crowd

Anyway.....CAPTAIN CHARISMA :love:

"PEEPS UNITE IT'S CAPTAIN CHARISMA"

LOL Booker sucks chants

hahahahaha yes!

Can anyone see the return of Harlem Heat for booker....................................................... ok........maybe not

The ropes on this PPV makes me feel as if it's an old school WWE ppv.

I kinda like the feeling.

same ere pullmyfinger, i was imaginin animal at the start like it was GAB in WCW

Booker gets early control of the match but CC gets the control by using the ref as a shield and then throwing Booker into the ring post shoulder first. CC with a single arm DDT. CC then takes him down with a side headlocl on the ground. "Lets go Christian" chants. Booker misses with a heel kick and goes into the ropes. Book End after CC is distracted by Sharmell but CC kicks out.

books got the spinarrooni feelin

The crowd is behind Christian!!!!

i support christian all the time. booker gives me bob marley feelin in an odd sort of way

Clotheslines by Booker followed by a vertical suplex. Spinebuster by Booker and then a flapjack. Booker isn't too popular here. Misses a scissors kick but counters the unprettier. CC tries to roll Booker uo with the ropes but Booker kicks out. Booker with a missile dropkick off the top rope but CC kicks out.

bollocks booker

Scissors kick from the middle rope and Booker wins.

Crap!!!! Booker T won :rant: :eek: :mad:

1 out of 2 in predictions

I hope WWE pushes Christian the way he is. A face Christian would really ruin everything.

That match will be edited on the DVD. LOL...

i love heel christian, he is better!!! booker is a crap face

wtf? WWE really want to bury probably one of the most over wrestlers ever.

another message - anyone know what channel will SummerSlam be broadcasting on in the UK. sky sports or box office??? (a bit off topic) sry

It'll be lucky if he ever gets pushed at all

Time for Benoit to become US champ

Next: Orlando Jordan vs Chris Benoit for the U.S Title.

The end of the reign of the worst U.S champion ever.....

Sky Sports 1

There is no way I'd buy this card on PPV

orlando did fuck all defending his us title - he didnt do shit in his 4 month reign. benoit needs it and he will do alot better. anyone remember WWF Royal Rumble 01' with Jericho & Benoit in a ladder match <<<classic

OJ better tap out.

Oh shit, sorry, didn't read that properly

Its on Box Office

Shit. I'm being completley screwed over in Tipsters and Fantasy League.

What is this crap about Jordan being the best athlete in the WWE. He hasn't shown me shit....

cheers cactus sid < somewhere i heard SS was on box office but as long it is on SS1 im happy. I really got happy when I found out the americans had to pay $34.95 when we get it 4 free. :) :) :) *** no offence americans ***

Time to find out if OJ is a completly screwed cause if Benoit can't get a decent match out of him then no one can.

bollocks bolocks BOLLOCKS!!! no box office - do u know how much it is 4 the event and can you tape it 4 "personal use"? Im tapin GAB

i want Orlando released, he aint championship material. with no JBL cabinet hes worth nothing. he should go to TNA - he might do well there - think of hardy, jarrett, AJ. think of the pushes they got. also think of raven. orlando go to TNA

AJ got a push?

aj got a bigger push than what he got in previous companies.

ok aj is not a Triple H or Rock but hes not a chris masters either. hes like.......shelton benjamin yet not so athletic

I know that he did once upon a time but this is the same comapny that thought their number obe guy couldn't carry the company. AJ has been screwed big time by that company in recent months.

I think AJ is really athletic but its just his ring chemistry needs work he has ability but just cant put it all together like Shelton.

I'm not saying AJ isn't good. He's one of my favourites but he has been screwed around by TNA. I would also suggest that he may be more athletic than Shelton.

I hope Rey's kid turns on Rey in the Rey/Eddie match.

im really gettin a lesnar feelin ... hes on Gerweck.net Smackdown! roster so tonight would be approprate. I dont even like him that much yet i think hes here tonight.

dominic (reys kid) comes in with a sledgehammer dressed as hunter and then eddies secret is dominic is hunters SON?!?!?!? then dominic helmsley challenges mysterio to a hell in a cell. lol :) maybe not but o well

What's the 8 year old going to do? Shin kick Rey!!!!

:lol:

His kid and Rey are probably about the same height

Rey: Why did you do this to me Dominic?
Dominic: My daddy is suppose to be taller than me!

FUCK SAKE

Good God, OJ beat Benoit :nono: :nono:

oh jesus, thats the writers drunk again makin orlando win............yawn. wtf were they thinkin.

The worst title reign for years goes on

LOL

and the burial of Benoit gets deeper

1 for 3 in a predictable PPV. These shit writers.....

Taker vs Hassan next

Hassan vs Taker NEXT!!!!!!!!!

What goes down here is anyone's guess...

now orlando's us title schedule:

August: fuck all
September: fuck all
October: fuck all
November: fuck all
December: new us title belt from long as a present
January: gets bored, vacates title, leaves for TNA
February: gains a TNA title and does the same until 2007 when he leaves wrestling and sits at home with a beer talkin to JBL on the phone about how much he misses him

Come on Hassan! I will gladly lose another prediction if he wins.

Well Benoit has been having great matches week in and week out why would they want to give him a title? :shifty:

y hassan & taker next. i would have thought that would have been second to last.
so there sayin bwo vs. meximmigrants is more important that taker n hassan??? like i said drunk writers

No they aren't

I can't see it LK. I will mark out big time if he wins but I see a tombstone in his future. Followed by an RKO on Taker by Randy "Legend Killer"(put irony here) Orton

benoit will fall into the same hole that rocky and austin did. die. benoit will go to velocity again and again and than bugger off.

Tip for all wwe fantasy players:think of what would make the most sense then pick the exact opposite

Not to mention the titty fest that is Torrie and Melina...

Could be the last time we here that glorious theme music

im probly the only one who supports hassan. hes a good talent. wtf how r they bringin him out

The masked dudes are carrying him to the ring on a somehting

Cool, he came out on a carriage with the "terrorists" :roll: with him.

val venis is now "hellooooo terrorists". val is under 1 of those. he must be

WTF the do you mean your the only one

Promo time

Hmm...... This has got me perplexed and wasn't the Iron Sheik arab? Thus making him the first arab champion...

aha, "if he loses he will never show up on Smackdown! again." shit cover up for moving him because of the crydicks UPN. ***no pun to london, that was some scary attacks***

time 4 a toilet break while he mumbles on about the quran or whateva he is ona about

LOL

Well, Hassan loses this one.

Come on Hassan!

The way this PPV has gone you never know...
