The Greatest Bash Ever

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

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. 5/10

SECOND 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. 6/10

THIRD 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. 5/10

FOURTH 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. 6/10

FIFTH 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. 5/10

SIXTH 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. 4/10

SEVENTH 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. 5/10

EIGHT 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. 6/10

This 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
