mediocre bash

Advantages: some good matches
Disadvantages: some bad matches

...better-than-expected Fatal Fourway for the WWE Tag Team Championships as Miz & Morrison (the best tag team in recent memory) defending against Jesse & Festus, Ryder & Hawkins and (the heavy crowd favourites) Finlay & Hornswoggle. Whatever happened to tag-teams having team names? JBL and Mick Foley do a sterling job of putting Festus over in the early going, while the champs do their heelish thing and hurl Hornswoggle between the ropes to start the ...
...find out after Todd Grisham's WWE Mobile interview with CM Punk from the previous Monday's RAW, which is good (but drags on) and a look back at the Edge & Vickie wedding (which also mercifully edited into a highlight package instead). Can the ECW Championship match continue the great run? The simple answer is no, it cannot. It's ok, but nothing special. The saving grace is that the bout is very short (5m30s) and is most notable for the actions of ...

Review of WWE - The Great American Bash 2008 (DVD)

The one night WWE goes extreme

Advantages: good quality matches in most, one of the best events by WWE of 2008
Disadvantages: very weak extras, some boring matches which didn't need to be on the show

...as an ECW event that WWE produced in 2005 which came back under the ECW banner in 2006 both were at the Hammerstein Ballroom, New York. In 2007 WWE put all three brands together on the Pay Per Views so now it would be WWE One Night Stand and hosted every year but not not the Hammerstein Ballroom. 2007 of One Night Stand was a weak show it never did beat the first 2 events from 2005 and 2006 due to it having weak matches but 2008 of One Night Stand ...
...Man Standing Match for the WWE Championship Triple H vs. Randy Orton Another injury appears on the event Big Show gets hurt now Randy Orton does. This is the very match were Orton breaks his collarbone due to a bad fall. The match is not as long of course the thing that annoys me is although Randy gets injured these people at the event boo him and don't cheer him. One guy tries talking hard you see Orton say something back then the ref just shoving ...

Review of WWE - Nature Boy Ric Flair - The Definitive Collection (DVD)

The Grandaddy of 'em all!

Advantages: Great spectacle, available in blu ray, get moneys worth.
Disadvantages: Some of it drags on.

...some Italian twig. WWE Championship match: 3 of the biggest stars in wrestling collided here, John Cena, Triple H and Randy Orton. This match was good, although expected to be better considering who was in it. The crowd was into it, and the ending was one of the most surprising of the night, the match itself seemed kinda short, but it was a fast paced bout and was enjoyable. Very solid match. Big Show vs Floyd Mayweather: This was neither a boxing ...
...type match up. Whatever it was, it was fun, good moments and Mayweather actually performs well for a first timer. Big Show did a good job in making the fight seem a bit more realistic, on paper, was destined to be one of the worst matches of the night, but turned out to be memorable. Very solid match. World Heavyweight Championship match: Undertaker vs Edge was always going to be a good match, and that it was. Took some time to get going, but once ...
