if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

a million times better then last years but still not great. may be in wrong order1. M'N'M(TAG CHAMPS) Vs L.O.D WWE TAG TITLE MATCH5.5/10 raw look on and be jealous ....proper tag teams.. surprisingly a short match which got it its 5 rating but it was still decent and these are two good tag teams.2. Booker T Vs Christian7.5/10 Good match ..christian surprisingly had all the crowd support booker was booed whenever he mounted offence...good match with a few minor false finishes.3. Melina Vs Torrie BRA AND PANTIES Candice referee10/10 looks hotness...4.5/10 match.. as usual a poor womens match but this gets a 4.5 because they stripped each other down... candice looked SMOKING HOT when she got her stuff out at the end ...4. Orlando Jordan (US CHAMP) Vs Chris Benoit US TITLE MATCH6.5/10 a bit boring at times but OJ was impressive he dominated benoit in an impressive way at times.. people say its a shame he won ..i thought he did well5. Undertaker Vs Muhammad Hassan,7/10 despite the result being confirmed after cry baby upn's complaints about hassan..the match was very good ...it made undertaker seem like the old undertaker we know as he fought not only hassan but daivari and all the hooded men which made him seem untouchable..made him seem like a real tough guy.6. Mexicools Vs BWO5/10 a few decent moves but nothing more ....blue meanie shouldn't be allowed to wear belly tops its revolting7. Rey Mysterio Vs Eddie Guerrero8/10 Excellent Match from these two again.. the dominic storyline although at times annoying went well with there matches especially this one ....dominic had front row and was treated to a classic8. JBL Vs Batista ( WORLD CHAMP) WORLD TITLE MATCH6/10 Not a great match by any stretch of the imagination ...very average.. these two although very impactful with there moves tend to go into dry patches...crowd were lost a bit of the way through but they got back on after oj's interference which actually made the match better. expected ending ..for me anyway ...i saw it coming a mile off

Just like last years GAB, this sucked. WWE's offer of three excellent PPV's in a row (Judgment Day, One Night Stand and Vengeance) made this writer wonder if they had been made to seen sense, but how wrong I was.Animal and Heidenreich (possible the worst team ever and an insult to Hawk) beat the best team in WWE right now, Joey Mercury and Johnny Nitro to win the WWE tag team titles in a rubbish match.Booker T beat Christian in a fair contest, however there was no build up to the match and it seemed that the match was only booked to pad the PPV out.The Mexicools (Super Crazy, Psicosis and Juventud) won the BWO (Stevie Richards, Simon Dean and The Blue Meanie) in a worthless match.Orlando Jordan beat, yes BEAT Chris Benoit in a slump. Why Benoit was wrestling Jordan the worst US champ in history is beyond me.The Undertaker pinned Muhammad Hassan.Melina beat Torrie Wilson in a p*ss poor match, no one cared about the result and it was understandable.Rey Mysterio beat Eddie Guerrero in the match of the night.John 'Bradshaw' Layfield beat Batista via DQ after Big Dave hit JBL with a chair in a lame main event.Overall Grade - D

WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP. MNM V.S. ANIMAL AND HEIDENREICH A highly entertaining match with a surprise ending. I never thought that Animal and Heidenreich would win. MNM do work well together as do Heidenreich and Animal. The right team won in my opinion. 7/10.SINGLE. Christian V.S. BOOKER T This was a great match with plenty of near falls and surprise kick outs. Surprisingly the crowd were all cheering for Christian, despite him being the bad guy. Bad ending though, if the WWE wants to get Christian over, they should've made him win this match. 8/10.US TITLE MATCH. ORLANDO JORDAN V.S. CHRIS BENOIT Why did Orlando Jordan retain? He has to be the worst US champion ever. Benoit kicked Orlando's ass all the way through but Orlando won by hitting Benoit into the turnbuckle. Good match, wrong person won. 6/10.NO. 1 CONTRENDER MATCH. MUHAMMED HASSAN V.S. THE UNDERTAKER The rumour at the time was that UPN had banned Hassan off Smackdown, so this was going to be his last appearance. And to show it, Hassan had to go out in style. Undertaker 'killed' Hassan. The match was pretty one sided, Taker got his revenge on Hassan and his henchmen though. 8/10.SIX MAN TAG MATCH. THE MEXICOOLS V.S. THE BWO This was a short match, the Blue Meanie wasn't even tagged in. This match was really just to put the Mexicools over. Still, the BWO's entrance was funny and the Mexicools were very impressive. 5/10.IF EDDIE WINS HE'LL REVEAL THE SECRET MATCH. EDDIE GUERRERO V.S. REY MYSTERIO A very good match, Eddie got some real heal heat. Plenty of near falls and good moves. Rey's son was at ring side, and every time Eddie walked towards him, the crowd wanted Rey to knock Eddie out. Eddie frogsplashes Rey, but Rey sneaky pins him. A very good match, but a lot of fans wanted Eddie to tell the secret. 8/10.BRA AND PANTIES MATCH. MELINA V.S. TORRIE Wilson Short, but it's only to show the diva's off. 2/10.WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP. BATISTA V.S. JBL A tense match, seeing as Undertaker won the number 1 contendership, I wasn't sure whether Batista would retain. It was back and forth, JBL won by disqualification when Batista used a chair, Batista still retained, then kicked JBL's ass afterwards. 7/10.

The bash of last night was a very good pay-per-view! It's not Ring of Honor or TNA... but it was fairly done by the WWE Management, many will complains about the endings but the wrestling was very good!!MNM vs. Heidenreich & Animal Good opener with some strong words at the end by Animal! Rating: 7/10Christian vs. Booker T. Awesome match from start to beginning, the ending surprise me as it was a sick sick finisher by Booker T! Rating: 8,5/10United States Title: Orlando Jordan vs. Chris Benoit A bit disappointed by the ending but Benoit was on fire and prove why he's championship material, he should feud for the World Title again. Rating: 8/10#1 Contenders Match: Muhammad Hassan w/Daivari vs. Undertaker Good squash, Hassan is really bland and stinks as a character but the match was good thanks to The Undertaker. Rating: 8/10Mexicools vs. Blue World Order Look to the entrance of blue world order, people were going nuts, it was so funny, the match was cool and entertaining, a bit fast thought. Rating: 7/10Rey Mysterio vs. Eddie Guerrero Match of the night, I can't get enough of theses 2 wrestler, they know each others well and the drama of the match add a lot! Rating: 9/10Bra & Panties Match: Torrie Wilson vs. Melina with Candice Michelle as Referee Melina have talent, Torrie is still pretty bland in the ring and you got Candice as the hot chick referee for this match! A entertaining match with a good crowd. unpredictable (finally) Rating: 7/10World Title: Batista vs. JBL BORING match, this match kill a great night of wrestling, Batista was really bad in that match and JBL try to carry him to a good match but was unable, still, the end was interesting with a Batista on freaking fire! Rating: 3/10So bottom line, if you skip the main event, a very good night of wrestling, buy the DVD when it comes out!!
