Great American Bash 2006

1. Paul London + Brian Kendrick defeated the Pitbulls by pinfall

This was a good match, but definitely could have been better. Still, you can't complain about a good tag team match.

Rating: 3 (out of 5)

2. Finlay defeated William Regal by pinfall

This was supposed to be a three way with Lashley as the lone face, but turned out to be heel vs. heel. That unfortunately hurt this match and it wasn't as good as it could have been.

Rating: 2.25

3. Gregory Helms defeated Matt Hardy by pinfall

***Match Of The Night***

I liked this more than most, but I thought this match had some really good pacing and both guys gave a good effort. Usually when friends get in the ring, the results are usually positive.

Rating: 3.25

4. Undertaker defeated Big Show in a Punjabi Prison Match

Again, this was another match that was effected by a last minute substitution, but this was for the better. Anything is better than Khali, but unfortunately Big Show wasn't a huge one, especially at this point in his career. This was slow, but not as bad as I remembered.

Rating: 1.25

5. Ashley defeated Jillian, Michelle McCool and Kristal in a Bra & Panties Match

This was pretty bad. What a shock.

Rating: .25

6. Mr. Kennedy defeated Batista by disqualification

This was when I really thought Mr. Kennedy would become a star. He really stepped it up here and gave a great effort. Too bad he was an idiot and always got hurt.

Rating: 2.75

7. King Booker defeated Rey Mysterio by pinfall to win the WWE Championship

This was a solid main event that featured Booker's first WWE Championship reign. I was a big fan of the King Booker character, even if he wasn't the performer he used to be at this point. Good ending to the show.

Rating: 3

Well, there were a lot of substitutions on this show, but at the same time there was really nothing worth going out of the way for. It's enjoyable as a whole, and if you're a Booker fan, you have to see his main event, but other than that, there's really no reason to go out of your way for this one.
