Great American Bash 2004

1. John Cena defeated Rob Van Dam, Booker T, and Rene Dupree by pinfall

This was just bad booking to me. Why stick RVD in there? No wonder he could care less about the wrestling business.

Rating: 2.75

2. Luther Reigns defeated Charlie Haas by pinfall

Here's a match with two guys that never took off. Haas at least could wrestle, but man was Reigns horrible.

Rating: .5

3. Rey Mysterio defeated Chavo Guerrero by pinfall

This was solid stuff, as you would expect from these two. This is about the 800th time they fought, so they knew each other pretty well.

Rating: 3.25

4. Kenzo Suzuki defeated Billy Gunn by pinfall

Suzuki was a horrible wrestler and he thankfully did not last long. Billy Gunn was especially terrible here too.

Rating: .25

5. Sable defeated Torrie Wilson by pinfall

This was pretty bad, but I'd rather watch this instead of Suzuki/Gunn.

Rating: .25

6. Mordecai defeated Hardcore Holly by pinfall

And another squash match to a character that tanked. At least this one was a slight step up in quality.

Rating: 1

7. JBL defeated Eddie Guerrero in a Texas Bullrope Match to win the WWE Championship

***Match Of The Night***

This was the beginning of the mostly dreadful JBL era. This was actually a darn good match, as Eddie was really in a groove.

Rating: 3.75

8. Undertaker defeated Dudley Boyz by pinfall

Well, this is one of the dumbest endings in the history of WWE pay-per-views. We saw a mindless 2-on-1 brawl that ended with Paul Bearer getting killed. This a great example of how not to book a show.

Rating: 1

This show is often thought of as one of the worst shows ever put on by the WWE. It is definitely at the bottom of the barrel, but the title match is good stuff and Rey/Chavo is worth a viewing. The rest is filled with squash matches and stupid storylines.
