Konterr Brilliant and touching

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

kliko400 I don't know why, but I seriously like the Great American Bash PPV's. Last year's was alright, but this year's was better than last years.FIRST MATCH- ANIMAL & HEIDENREICH VS. MNM W/ MELINA FOR THE WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP{Great to see Animal back} Also great action for the start of the match. Animal & Heidenreich are great as a team. Animal & Heidenreich win after a modified Doomsday Device Slam for the win & to become new WWE Tag Team Champions. 5/10SECOND MATCH- BOOKER T W/ SHARMELL VS. ChristianGood decent match by these two. They showed some cool wrestling moves & got a great match going on as well. Booker T wins after going on the top rope & nailed a Scissors Kick from there on Christian for the win. 5/10THIRD MATCH- CHRIS BENOIT VS. ORLANDO JORDAN FOR THE WWE UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIPThis was also a great match which I was really looking forward to seeing. I wanted Benoit to win, but OJ cheated to get the win after slamming Benoit on the exposed turnbuckle & covering him for the 3 count to get the win & retain his US Title. 5/10FOURTH MATCH- MUHAMMAD HASSAN W/ DAIVARI VS. UNDERTAKER IN A NO. 1 CONTENDERS MATCHNot bad, but could have been better. {By the way Muhammad Hassan had about 7 men surrounding the ring for no reason.} Even though I wanted Muhammad Hassan to win, Undertaker got the victory after a Chokeslam for the win to become No. 1 Contender. 4/10FIFTH MATCH- EDDIE GUERRERO VS. REY MYSTERIO IF EDDIE WINS HE WILL REVEAL REY'S SECRET IF REY WINS THEN EDDIE WILL NOT REVEAL HIS SECRETNot the best of their match but it was still good. {Rey's son Dominik was at ringside watching the match}. Eddie dominated Rey for almost the whole match until suddenly Mysterio countered Eddie's pin after a Frog Splash into a roll-up for the 3 count as his unknown secret will still be kept quiet. 4/10SIXTH MATCH- MELINA VS. TORRIE Wilson IN A BRA & PANTIES MATCH SPECIAL GUEST REFEREE: CANDICE MICHELLEBoring, just boring. What is up with all these Diva matches. Melina wins after stripping Torrie first in her Bra & Panties. After the match Torrie & Candice together strip Melina in Bra & Panties as she runs away backstage. Later Candice takes her own clothes off & is in her Bra & Panties just like Torrie much to the delight of the fans. 2/10SEVENTH MATCH- MEXICOOLS {SUPER CRAZY, PSICOSIS & JUVENTUD} VS. BWO IN A 6-MAN TAG TEAM MATCHA cool 6-man tag team match which saw the Mexicools do some cool high-flying moves. The Mexicools win after nailing a double team move on Steven Richards for the win. 4/10EIGHT MATCH- JBL VS. BATISTA FOR THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIPA bit boring, slow & sloppy. It starts to get fast paced which great moves & wrestling style, but later it gets boring. JBL wins by DQ after Batista slammed him with the Championship Belt which the referee caught him so. After the match Batista goes berserk & nails both JBL & Orlando Jordan {Who tried to interfere during the match} with a steel chair followed by giving each of them a Batista Bomb as the PPV goes off the air. 4/10So this was another Great American Bash PPV which was just a but better than last years.Overall: I'll give it 7/10 & a C

gridoon While there is nothing really disgraceful in this PPV (apart from the Eddie-Rey storyline), there is also nothing really worth going out of your way to see.1) MNM vs. Animal and Heidenreich (for the tag team title). An old-fashioned (if that makes sense) match, with lots of big power moves. Nothing really special, apart perhaps from Animal's dedication of the win to his late partner Hawk. ** 2) Christian vs. Booker T. Average wrestler vs. average wrestler = average match. By the way, Sharmell is beautiful. **3) Orlando Jordan vs. Chris Benoit (for the US title). I liked Benoit's matches with HHH better, he was allowed to use more technique there. Here, Jordan has the upper hand most of the time and when Benoit attacks it's mostly with "chops". **4) The Undertaker vs. Muhammad Hassan. Hassan is a total bore on the mic (just compare his promos with those of JBL). Someone in the WWE probably figured that this match was going to be a total bore as well, so they turned it into a kind of 6-on-1 handicap match, with five masked fellows trying to help Hassan. Guess what - the match is still a bore! And it goes on and on and on and on....*5) The Mexicools vs. Blue World Order. A very enjoyable 5-minute mess. We need more matches like this to remind us that wrestling can be fun. **1/26) Rey Mysterio vs. Eddie Guerrero (RIP). The storyline behind this match sucks hard, and now that Eddie is dead it's even more uncomfortable to watch. Comments (by Michael Cole and Tazz) that he's a "despicable pig" and that "manipulation is his new drug addiction" don't help matters. It's hard to imagine Eddie and Rey ever being in a worse match than this one - if you take it seriously, it's unwatchable. ** 7) Melina vs. Torrie Wilson. Bra and Panties match, with Candice as the special guest referee. Very short match, maybe under 5 minutes. Both women are game, but it's a little hard to concentrate on the wrestling when you have to strip down your opponent. A regular match between these two might have been a better idea. It's not like the divas are overdressed in the regular matches anyway. **8) JBL vs. Batista (for the world heavyweight title). A very sluggish brawl. If it weren't for a sleeper applied by JBL halfway through, you'd hardly know this was supposed to be a wrestling match. The ending is not very satisfying for a title match either. **

highlander_3 This is the first Smackdown brand PPV since the 2005 draft. Last years Great American Bash was one of the worst ppv's ever. It wouldn't be hard for this years event to improve on it. Match 1 - MnM VS Heidenreich and Road Warrior Animal. WWE Tag Titles I didn't expect this match to start the event but it wasn't bad. It didn't outstay it's welcome and when Animal got the tag towards the end it really picked up. Winners and new tag champs - Heidenreich and Road Warrior AnimalMatch 2 - Christian vs Booker T Could've been better but it wasn't too bad. Their match ups in 2003 were decent and there wasn't much heat going into this. If they had more TV to develop a storyline something better would have come from the match. Still it had it's moments and was passable entertainment Winner - Booker TMatch 3 - Orlando Jordan vs Chris Benoit. U.S Title I couldn't understand the lack of TV time they had going into this match. Benoit beat Booker T in a No 1 Contenders match and that was it. There wasn't even an exchange between the two until Heat before. But despite this they put on a decent match. Benoit did a great job and brought out the best in Jordan. I think it was the best match of his career up to that night. It seemed a competitive match and just about the title. Nothing else which is very rare for any title match on PPV. Winner - Orlando JordanMatch 4 - Mohammed Hassan vs The Undertaker I wasn't looking forward to this a great deal as Mohammed Hassan can hardly wrestle and Taker's been poor in the ring for the past year. But i was surprised to see a good and entertaining match. The whole interference thing actually helped the math a great deal and it was fun to see The Undertaker beat the crap out of six guys. The ending was a bit bogged though as when Hassan went through the stage the noise of him landing was badly timed. Winner - The UndertakerMatch 5 - Mexicools vs BWO A filler match which i expected to start the card. Not a good match and usually after something big has just happened on a PPV you get filler matches like this. Too short and really should have started the PPV. Winner - MexicoolsMatch 6 - Rey Mysterio vs Eddie Guerrero This rivalry has gotten too personal and i don't like these personal angles. They diverge from wrestling completely. Anyway the match was very good and i was very surprised to Rey win it. A lot of high spots were awesome and the psychology between the two in the ring was very good. Not as good as their match at Wrestlemania 21 but still a top match. Match of the night. Winner - Rey MysterioMatch 7 - Melina vs Torrie Wilson. Bra and Panties Mtch. Nothing much to say. I expected noting much from this match and i was right. I wasn't interested but Melina has got a decent rack on her. It's worth watching just to see that. Winner - MelinaMatch 8 - Batista vs JBL. World Title. I expected too much from this contest. It didn't deliver. There was hardly any wrestling in the whole match. Just punching and kicking. It did have some good moments and it beats the crap out of last years main event at the Great American Bash, the infamous Concrete Crypt match Winner - Batista

Felvy WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP. MNM V.S. ANIMAL AND HEIDENREICH A highly entertaining match with a surprise ending. I never thought that Animal and Heidenreich would win. MNM do work well together as do Heidenreich and Animal. The right team won in my opinion. 7/10.SINGLE. Christian V.S. BOOKER T This was a great match with plenty of near falls and surprise kick outs. Surprisingly the crowd were all cheering for Christian, despite him being the bad guy. Bad ending though, if the WWE wants to get Christian over, they should've made him win this match. 8/10.US TITLE MATCH. ORLANDO JORDAN V.S. CHRIS BENOIT Why did Orlando Jordan retain? He has to be the worst US champion ever. Benoit kicked Orlando's ass all the way through but Orlando won by hitting Benoit into the turnbuckle. Good match, wrong person won. 6/10.NO. 1 CONTRENDER MATCH. MUHAMMED HASSAN V.S. THE UNDERTAKER The rumour at the time was that UPN had banned Hassan off Smackdown, so this was going to be his last appearance. And to show it, Hassan had to go out in style. Undertaker 'killed' Hassan. The match was pretty one sided, Taker got his revenge on Hassan and his henchmen though. 8/10.SIX MAN TAG MATCH. THE MEXICOOLS V.S. THE BWO This was a short match, the Blue Meanie wasn't even tagged in. This match was really just to put the Mexicools over. Still, the BWO's entrance was funny and the Mexicools were very impressive. 5/10.IF EDDIE WINS HE'LL REVEAL THE SECRET MATCH. EDDIE GUERRERO V.S. REY MYSTERIO A very good match, Eddie got some real heal heat. Plenty of near falls and good moves. Rey's son was at ring side, and every time Eddie walked towards him, the crowd wanted Rey to knock Eddie out. Eddie frogsplashes Rey, but Rey sneaky pins him. A very good match, but a lot of fans wanted Eddie to tell the secret. 8/10.BRA AND PANTIES MATCH. MELINA V.S. TORRIE Wilson Short, but it's only to show the diva's off. 2/10.WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP. BATISTA V.S. JBL A tense match, seeing as Undertaker won the number 1 contendership, I wasn't sure whether Batista would retain. It was back and forth, JBL won by disqualification when Batista used a chair, Batista still retained, then kicked JBL's ass afterwards. 7/10.
