RedJed 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2005 Announced for the Great American Bash: - Melina vs. Torrie in a Bra & Panties match. - MNM defending the tag titles against Heidenreich & Road Warrior Animal. - Christian vs. Booker T. - Orlando Jordan defending the U.S. Title against Chris Benoit. - Undertaker vs. Muhammad Hassan. - World Champion Batista vs. JBL. ---If thats the entire card, that's not strong at all. Desperately needs a Rey-Eddy gimmick match added to the card and something with the Mexicools/London/Etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gWIL 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2005 When's the PPV? I can understand holding off on the Eddie/Rey blowoff, but we need a London/Mexicool match. What do Eddie and Rey do if they aren't fighting each other? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2005 When's the PPV? I can understand holding off on the Eddie/Rey blowoff, but we need a London/Mexicool match. What do Eddie and Rey do if they aren't fighting each other? 24th. They've still got another Smackdown left to go before GAB. It'll likely be Juvi vs. London for the belt and it'll likely be Juvi going over. I'm sure Eddie/Rey will have something too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gWIL 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2005 I think they'll save Juvi/London as Juvi seems to be the mouthpiece and instead go with London/Super Crazy (which I'd rather see.) If we get either, I'm ordering the PPV. I think the card looks interesting we getting Batista/JBL which is fresh and should be a hell of a brawl, Taker/Hassan which is umm... interesting, the match will likely be crap but the angle has been different and has got everyone talking, Jordan/Benoit could be a real surprise as I think Benoit will take Jordan to good match though I feel that should Jordan get a semi-clean win as it would cement him as an upper midcarder, Christain/Booker T means I get see Christain and think he's going over for sure, Road Warrior Animal, Melina is hot and should also include a good cruiserweight bout. Sounds fresh, and fresh is good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest wildpegasus Report post Posted July 13, 2005 I'm pretty sure that Eddie mentioned that the secret will be on the line when Eddie faces Rey at the GAB. and I think I saw the picture when they went thru the rundown of the PPV. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, the secret is on the line at the Bash Spoilers from the Observer http://www.liveaudiowrestling.com/wo/news/...t.asp?aID=13699 WWE Smackdown spoilers from Worcester by Jerry Lane Hey Dave!...here's what happened last nite at the Smackdown/Velocity tapings in Worcester, Mass...at the DCU Center... ...Axl Rotten/Balls Mahoney apparently beat the Shane Twins ...Frankie "The Future" Kazarian beat Nunzio w/a suplex into a bridge...to quote Frankie himself after the match...

Guest Ransome Report post Posted July 13, 2005 Seriously, do Heidenreich & Animal have a chance at winning the titles? I can see MNM losing at the PPV and then having them win the belts back at the next SD. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I can see it. Try to boost sales of the Road Warriors DVD. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Is it really the wise move to derail the momentum of MNM (as far as I'm concerned, the first decent 'new' tag team they've brought forth since Benjamin/Haas) just to sell a few more copies of DVDs? Particularly since the Road Warriors DVD caters primarily to older fans who have most likely bought (or will soon buy) the DVD already? Either way, they've booked themselves into a situation where Heidenreich/Animal have to win the tag titles, unfortunately. I really thought WWE was finally, thankfully, conceding defeat with the Simon Dean character after last week. Can they possibly foresee any prospect of future success with the gimmick?

Aero 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2005 GAB isn't looking very appealing at all. The only match I want to see is Benoit-Jordan, because I actually think it'll be decent for some reason, or because I want to see Jordan finally lose the US Title. Since Eddie-Rey will most likely happen, I guess I'd want to see that, but really only if it's the blowoff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silence 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2005 Benoit vs. Regal on Velocity sounds good (it really should have been on Smackdown, though), but Christian and Booker T feuding with each other again makes me feel like puking over how boring their matches were just two years ago on Raw. I hope MNM don't lose the titles to the odd pairing of Animal and Heidenreich at the GAB, or their momentum will be killed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WrestlingFan4Ever 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2005 I really don't see all the MNM love so far. I mean, they have a great gimmick and a great look, but so far, they have not impressed me in ring AT ALL. All their good matches so far, such as against Hass and Holly at Judgment Day '04 have been carry jobs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boon 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2005 They're pretty much all the Tag Division has left. If you give the titles to Heidenreich/Animal, you can pretty much just eulogize the division and call it quits. I guess the love is there because there's nowhere else to put it.

Guest nokia Report post Posted July 13, 2005 from pwinsider "Due to the negative press that the Muhammad Hassan angle got in Variety (which was picked up by the Drudge Report and other outlets) and the New York Post yesterday, UPN informed WWE yesterday that Hassan they did not want Hassan to appear on Smackdown. WWE had to change their planned angle with Hassan due to the network's demand. I was told Vince McMahon was not at all happy about this" * Also Kazarian wins with the "Perfect Plex" ?

Guest J0bber Report post Posted July 13, 2005 Maybe Simon Dean will feud with Nova next. Does anyone else find it odd that Nova hangs out with Meanie (who is fat), yet Simon Dean hates fat people? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A little side note. I recall The Blue Meanie losing a lot of weight shortly after his 1999 WWF run. Obviously, now he's gained it back. Would anyone else find it funny if they booked Nova to turn on Meanie for being out of shape, thus creating a Simon Dean/Meanie feud? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Decemberists 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2005 (edited) That would be... awfull. UNLESS they keep Simon Dean and Nova as semi-seperate characters and did have Nova constantly say he's not Simon Dean even though everyone knows he obviously is, except the bWo who are blind to it. Played for laughs that coud be quite fun. EDIT: Actually that doesn't seem such a great idea now I've thought about it... it's been a long day. Oh, and for those that keep asking, Regal/Benoit was on Velocity rather than the Crusier match I'd imagine it's because, as good as the match apparantly was, it's not part of a angle, whereas the cruiser 6-man is, and thus needs to be on the main show Edited July 13, 2005 by The Decemberists Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure, Eddie's a former champion and Rey is Rey, but MNM were completely jobbed out until Eddie turned on Rey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest KingofHarts Report post Posted July 14, 2005 *William Regal and Chris Benoit come out and proceed to rock the fucking house with the match of the night...tons of matwork, hardway juice from a headbutt, and even a Dragon Suplex. Benoit won with the Crossface My rendition of what's wrong with the WWE. Writer: "I have a great Idea. Let's have Hassans Lawyers come out and say Hassan won't show up then Undertaker can come out and Tombstone him. Booker: "Well were kind of pressed for time.
