Some memorable moments
gridoon202414 March 2015
Warning: Spoilers
Others have covered this PPV more extensively, so I'll just mention those things that stood out as most memorable to me:

  • It's ironic that the ECW Title match between Mark Henry and Tommy Dreamer is easily surpassed in "extremeness" by just about every other match on the card (!), but especially by the first two I will mention below. It is also the worst out of the 8 matches included.


  • The Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Micahels match gets pretty bloody.


  • The John Cena vs. JBL "NYC Parking Lot Brawl" is something different, and I was even a little bit shocked about how far it went, especially when JBL sets a car with a barely conscious Cena in it on fire! The ending was also utterly surprising.


  • CM Punk and Batista appeared to have genuine in-ring chemistry, and their match was not nearly as one-sided as I feared, but it suffered from a poor ending.


  • The storyline behind Edge and HHH's match was incredibly silly, but the match itself had lots of back-and-forth action....until another half-hearted finish.


  • Natalya and Michelle McCool are both extremely good-looking, and can also do submission moves. In fact, their match ends with a tap-out (after lots of moaning) instead of a pin, something which I found refreshing and sexy.

Awesome WWE PPV

Well all I have to say about the great American bash is that it was awesome Because every match was great not a thing that was out of place everything was excellent, The only match that was not good was the divas match but they were hot so that is good. The best match was HHH vs. Edge and The CM Punk vs. Batista was also great. So make sure that you see WWE the great American bash because it is awesome.
