Match #2

Cruiserweight Open Championship Match

Chavo Guerrero Vs Funaki Vs Jamie Noble Vs Shanon Moore Vs Jimmy Wang Yang


Started out like an uneventful or typical cruiserweight match with everybody doing spots one at a time. Then they destroyed the match and the title when Hornswoggle snuck into the ring and did a tadpole splash on Noble for the pin. Hornswoggle snuck into the ring during introductions but wasn't listed for the match so he hid outside then snuck back in and won the title. Goodbye Cruiserweight championship. 1/2 star.

Kane and Batista double team Khali so he clotheslines them both. Khali with the nerve pinch on both then they fight outside as the crowd is dead quiet. They do pop for the double chokeslam on Khali through the ECW announcers table though. That takes care of some of the crap in this match. Now it's just two stiffs remaining. Batista slams Kane for 2. Kane fights off a superplex attempt and hits the flying clothesline on Batista. Kane gets a pathetic chokeslam on Khali as the camera edits so it doesn't look like Khali is doing the work.

Batista bomb but Khali pulls Batista out. Tree slam on Kane and Khali retains at 10:04. 1 1/2 star.


Match #9

WWE Championship Match

John Cena Vs Bobby Lashley


They lockup and Lashley overpowers to start. Test of strength then Cena uses a drop toehold and Lashley bails. Lashley misses a charge in the corner and a Cena bulldog gets 2. Weak suplex gets 2.

Cena gets the fameasser off the top but only gets 2. Lashley misses a clothesline and a proto bomb then another. Five knuckle ****house shuffle but Lashley escapes the FU and hits a powerslam for 2. SHoulder thrusts in the corner by Lashley. Lashley with a torture rack then drops down into a derailer. Cena with a suprise FU and they are both out. Lashley is up first with a clothesline then he charges right into an STFU and Lashley makes the ropes. Bobby wouldn't be able to crawl there if Cena knew how to do it right. Spear and Cena kicks out at 2. They fight up top and Cena gives Lashley and FU off the middle ropes and gets the pin at 15:53 to retain. Wasn't great, wasn't bad. Just kinda there. 2 1/2 stars.


Overall Opinion: Another bad Great American Bash ppv. Nothing worth going out of your way to see. These grade ppv's shouldn't cost more than $10 on eBay used.


Final Score: This show gets 3.8 stars out of 10.0
