The Age of Commercialism

One of my all time favorites.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This was a good event. There were plenty of good matches, but it wasn't without its bad ones.United States Championship Match: MVP (c) vs. Matt Hardy - A very good opening match. It was given a good amount of time and it had more near-falls than you would expect from an opener. These two have really good chemistry. MVP retains with the Playmaker. RATING: ***1/4Cruiserweight Open: Chavo Guerrero (c) vs. Jamie Noble vs. Funaki vs. Shannon Moore vs. Jimmy Wang Yang - The match was fun to watch while it lasted, even if there isn't much storytelling to it. Hornswoggle comes in and wins the match, becoming the final Cruiserweight Champion. The hay?! RATING: **1/2Singapore Cane on a Pole Match: Carlito vs. The Sandman - A completely disposable filler match. Carlito wins. Next. RATING: *1/2Intercontinental Championship Match: Umaga (c) vs. Jeff Hardy - Another good match. Jeff Hardy is always exciting to watch, and he pulled a good match out of Umaga. Umaga retains with a Samoan Spike. RATING: ***1/4ECW Championship Match: John Morrison (c) vs. CM Punk - These two were still budding at this time, but they did manage to put on a very well-wrestled match. It could have used a few more minutes, though. John Morrison wins with a kick in mid-air. RATING: ***Texas Bullrope Match: Randy Orton vs. Dusty Rhodes - A complete waste of time. It was mostly to further establish Randy Orton as a legend killer, and it kind of failed even at that. Orton wins. RATING: DUD Triple Threat Match for the World Heavyweight Championship: The Great Khali (c) vs. Batista vs. Kane - This wasn't very good, but it's not like anyone expected it to be. The Great Khali retains his title. RATING: *3/4WWE Championship Match: John Cena (c) vs. Bobby Lashley - This was a great main event. It was a great powerhouse match that showcased both men very well. They build up plenty of drama and good near-falls. The show of respect after the match was also cool. John Cena retains his Championship with an Attitude Adjustment from the top rope. RATING: ****The bad matches do weigh it down, but several good matches and a fantastic main event make this a decent show overall.RATING: B-

Match 1: Montel Vontavious Porter (c) vs Matt Hardy for the United States Championship - Of course this title needed to be booked because of the name of this event. A pretty good opener. They really made MVP a strong United States Champion. Hardy looks pretty dominant as well, like he really is ready for a huge singles career. In the end MVP hits his Player's Boot to retain the title. Solid opener.Match 2: Cruiserweight Open for the Cruiserweight Championship - Chavo is the Champion heading into this one as he defends against Jamie Noble, Jimmy Wang Yang, Shannon Moore and Funaki. Very solid high impact match. Hornswoggle lands a tadpole splash on Noble to claim the title, even though he wasn't assigned to the match. Pretty decent.Match 3: Carlito vs The Sandman in a Singapore Cane on a Pole Match - Sandman being on Raw is a little useless being that he is an ECW original. Anyway they put him in this feud with Carlito just for kicks and throw this match together. Better than you would expect actually. In the end Carlito hits a back stabber for the win.Match 4: Candice Michelle (c) vs Melina for the Women's Championship - Actually decent considering that the diva's matches usually aren't eventful. In the end Candice retains. Not surprising, but still a good match.Match 5: Umaga (c) vs Jeff Hardy for the Intercontinental Championship - For a big guy Umaga is an awesome performer. He proves that in this match with Jeff Hardy. A good amount of time to display one of WWE's most valuable titles. Hardy does some impressive stuff, but in the end gets nailed with a Samoan spike. Umaga retains. Both Hardys may have lost, but they proved they are fantastic singles wrestlers.Match 6: John Morrison (c) vs CM Punk for the ECW Championship - Very short and simple ECW Championship match. Punk is the hungry challenger looking to pull out all the stops to defeat the newly named John Morrison. Morrison also proves that he is a worthy champion on his new brand. A very good title match, with Morrison scoring the win in the end. Solid mid card title match.Match 7: Dusty Rhodes vs Randy Orton in a Bull Rope match - Just a big draw sort of match. Dusty's wrestling skills aren't what they used to be. Some total domination from Orton. In the end he smacks Dusty with the bell for the win. Fans seemed shocked that Dusty actually lost to Orton.Match 8: The Great Khali (c) vs Kane vs Batista in a Triple Threat for the World Heavyweight Championship - Actually an impressive match for the title. Khali was double teamed a lot from Kane and Batista. Watching the two of them then go at it then pretty much sealed the match as a good one. In the end Khali returns to the ring to choke bomb Kane for the win. Solid title defense from Khali.Match 9: John Cena (c) vs Bobby Lashley for the WWE Championship - Major main event at this big stage. Lashley got a lot of reception from the crowd. They really wanted him to take the belt from Cena for once and for all. John Cena also proved he can rise to the occasion on a given match like this. We got a lot more than we expected from these two this time. In the end Cena hits an FU from the top rope to retain. They then shake hands and everyone leaves the arena in a good mood.

Great American Bash was similar to Vengeance, in other words some matches were good and others were damn right bad.The Hardyz were super over in their matches with MVP and Umaga respectively and their matches were good, but both Hardyz lost which was disappointing. The Singapore Cain on a pole match was crap, as much as I like Sandman, Carlito deserved better, and the Cain didn't not come into play once. The triple threat match between Batista, Kane and Khali was bad, worse than that Khali used Kane's finisher which I thought was odd and when Kane and Batista choke slammed Khali on the announcers desk, it looked pathetic. The bull rope match between Randy Orton and Dusty Rhodes was rubbish, Rhodes looked 2 decades older than he actually is and the finish (Orton hit Rhodes with the Cow Bell, was an insult to the ticket buying fans). The Cruiserweight match which featured 5 performers was a joke, at the end Hornswoggle pinned Jamie Noble to become the Cruiserweight champion. Yes! Hornswoggle who didn't even participate in the match, was selected by WWE to become the next champion! The PPV had it's bright points though. The John Cena vs Bobby Lashley match was very good which was surprising, MVP and the Matt Hardy match was decent and the Jeff Hardy and Umaga match was very good.Results from the show: MVP downed Matt Hardy in a decent effort to retain the US title. Carlito beat the Sandman in a p*ss poor Singapore Cain on a pole match. Candice Michelle beat Melina in a passable match to retain the Women's title. Hornswoggle won the Cruiserweight Championship in a pathetic match. Umaga downed Jeff Hardy in a good match. John Morrison downed CM Punk to retain the ECW championship in a decent match. Randy Orton defeated Dusty Rhodes in a crap bull rope match. The Great Khali defeated Batista and Kane to retain the World title (Khali held the belt upside down during his entrance, what a buffoon!). John Cena downed Bobby Lashley in an exciting match to retain the WWE Championship.Overall Grade - B/C

The Great American Bash Of 2007 Was Not Good. The Match's Seem Shorter And 2 Match's Were Just Jokes. John Vs Bobby Was A Great Match They Both Gave There Hearts In To It And I'm Happy That John Won But I Don't Think The Same About Bobby No More I Use To Hate Him Before This Then See The Way He Gave His Heart In To This Match I Do Think Hes A Good Wrester Now And Before I Did Not Think. The Great Khali Vs Kane Vs Batista Was Stupid The Great Is Not A Good Wrester He Should Not Be A Wrester Hes Just Big And The Would Wrestling Entertainment Made A Mistake My Making Him The Champ. Matt Hardy Vs MVP Was A Good Match What I'm Mad That Hardy Lost. Randy Orton Vs Dusty Rhodes Was Stupid And Plan Dusty Rhodes Can Not Wrester No More Hes To Told And Fat. And The Horns Match Was Stupid And Plan. And Jeff Hardy Vs Umaga Was A Good Match But I'm Bad That Jeff Hardy Lost. John Morrison Vs CM PUNK Was Not Very Good. And Thats What I Think About The Great American Bash Of 2007.
