Apparrently this came from their texting service. Lashley is unable to compete at The Great American Bash due to having elevated enzymes of the liver and can't compete until further evaluation. PWInsider is also corrborating Lashley is not competing at the Bash though they don't say why.

"Yes, and I had him help me." "I'm sure in 2006 you can find Kurt Angle at any corner drugstore....but here in 1985 he's just a little harder to come by!" "Okay, future boy whose main eventing in 2006?" "Well Vince McMahon has been featured a lot" "Vince McMahon?! The announcer? Hah! Whose the world champion, Gordan Solie?" "Hey Wait!" "I suppose Tony Schiavone and Johnny Weaver are the tag team champions!"

Yeah...though Michelle McCool doesn't carry a ruler with her. Not quite Chris not quite.

I don't even get what's so crazy about her now. She is basically a girl on a caffenine rush. She ceased being evil after she kidnapped Jack. Wait you mean when she framed Jack or when she kidnapped Ashley? Or when Trish kinapped Jack?

The newest, most exciting thing on this show so far has been a baby's birth being announced.

Is "The Aurora Borealis" or some pun on it a given for Rose's finisher when she debuts in 20 years?

WCW's ghost is making sure the GAB truly will be WCW One Night Stand.

Henry Suffers Injury in Six Man Tag Team Match By Jen Hunt July 15, 2006 Mark Henry was injured in the Six Man Tag Team Match at Saturday Night’s Main Event. He is currently diagnosed with a fractured patella and a possible patella tendon rupture. If the diagnosis holds up after further diagnosis, he is due to have surgery later this week with Dr. James Andrews. WWE Dr. Ferdinand Rios says Henry faces four to six months of extensive rehabilitation if he indeed needs surgery. Check back at WWE.com for more information as this story unfolds Doesn't seem like a work to me. Also felt this was worth its own thread. If the mods disagree, I'll post this in CTDWAT.

From the Observer: Teddy Long announced the injury to Mark Henry and that he would be off the Great American Bash. They announced Mr. Kennedy as the new opponent and there was a confrontation with Kennedy and Batista Bobby Lashley b Fit Finlay via DQ in a U.S. title match J.T. Tinney won the Diva Dance off. No word if that means she gets immunity from being eliminated this week Sylvan's new gimmick continued as he was going through the local room trying to talk wrestlers into going on a summer vacation to Quebec Daivari did a promo with Great Khali talking about Sunday's Punjabi Prison match. I hope they actually explain what it is. Kid Kash b Brian Kendrick with outside interference from Jamie Noble Psicosis b Super Crazy in a fast paced mach Rey Mysterio b King Booker with Chavo Guerrero getting involved From PWInsider I just got back from the Smackdown! and ECW tapings here in Corpus Christi, TX. Here are the results. Teddy Long opened up the show and announced that Mark Henry was injured at SNME and introduced Batista's opponent for Great American Bash: Mr.Kennedy. Kennedy came out and did a promo. I can't remember much of what he says but it led to Batista coming out and confronting him. Surprisingly the crowd actually booed when Long announced that Henry was out. Lashley over Finlay via DQ. The diva contestants come out and did a dance off of some sort. I can't say much about this other than I think that JT won. Sylvan was shown backstage talking to various SmackDown talent and where they came from. He then went on to say something along the lines of, "Visit Quebec, it is much better". Great Khali came out and Daivari cut a promo on his behalf, stating that Undertaker will not walk out of the Punjabi Prison match. Kid Kash beat Brian Kendrick after Kash and Jamie Noble double-teamed Kendrick. I believe Ashley and Jillian got the win over Kristal and Michelle. Psicosis beat Super Crazy. There were a lot of high spots and they actually had a pretty good match. Rey Mysterio beat King Booker. Rey wins after some help from Chavo. I question giving away almost three matches two days before the Bash, but I suppose they're counting on no one actually watching the show.

I mean not to sound dumb with this question but was this three way Booker-Rey-Batista? Or one involving Henry?

More detailed spoilers with important detail bolded: The show opened with Teddy Long announcing it is gonna be Mr. Kennedy facing Batista at GAB. Kennedy comes out and cuts a little promo which brings out Batista to confront him. Kid Kash vs. Brian Kendrick. Nice back and forth match pretty similar to last weeks match between their respective partners. Kid Kash wins after some outside help from Jamie Noble. Chavo is shown in the back with Rey. Non title match is set up between Rey and King Booker tonight in the Main Event. Gregory Helms comes out for commentary. Super Crazy vs. Psicosis have a match for title shot at GAB. Good competitive match that got good pops from crowd. Psicosis wins and has words with Helms afterwards. Ashley and Jillian def. Kristal and Michelle McCool. Typical diva match which went better than expected. Great Khali and Daivari come out and cut promo saying the same generic spiel they have the past few weeks. We still don't know what a Punjabi Prison match is exactly. Lashley vs. Finlay. Finlay comes down with Regal. Good match that was similar to their other outings. Little Bastard came out from under the ring to attack Lashley. Then Regal and Lashley end up fighting which caused the DQ win for Lashley. Next out are the Divas and Miz. It was a dance contest that got pretty good pops. Most could dance but a few were clueless. I can't remember who wins but does it really matter? Rey Mysterio vs. King Booker. Decent match that had its moments. The end had Chavo distracting Booker to help Rey get the win. After Smackdown ended, they set up the ECW ring and the show started at 9:00cst. So the show was on an hour time shift. Biggest pops: 1. Rey Mysterio 2. Batista 3. Undertaker Biggest Heat: 1. King Booker 2. Girl in Diva contest that couldn't dance 3. girl in front of me holding up a big ass sign that blocked everyone from seeing

Killswitch Engage's "This Fire Burns" I believe.

The kiss of death by Heyman, though with what I've heard about Paul E, that may not be the case.

Who?

Batista's opponent for GAB announced from PWInsider. *SPOILERS FOR THIS WEEK'S SMACKDOWN*

Heh, love the return of "fat boy"

What is it with the screw-ups tonight?

I like this GAB promo. Different from generic nu-metal clips we see usually.

Cena jobs to a thumb.

Alright, former one half of the WCW Cruiserweight Champions, John Cena.

You really have no concept of history and impact, do you? I'm with him. Wendi was HUGE in her era, she was bigger than Trish Stratus is now and was a hero to young girls. Vince McMahon legitmately screwed her out of the Women's Championship in 1986 (Think Bret Hart at Montreal) and Wendi hasn't been seen on WWE TV and thus has not been mentioned at all to younger viewers, until now. Vince screwed Wendi (as he would Bret 11 years later), buried her legacy and now she's merely an answer to a trivia question instead of the legend that she should be. Didn't Richter actually main event some house shows, which was unheard of for female wrestlers?

Maria really does have the best eyes in wrestling.

That has the be the first time I've seen the Captain referred to as "Louis Albano".

I do want to see Benjamin vs. Helms in the battle of generic heels with sunglasses.
