The Bash 2009

1. Tommy Dreamer defeated Christian, Mark Henry, Finlay and Jack Swagger in a Scramble Match

This started off decent, but then turned into a trainwreck. I had higher hopes for this one than what was actually produced.

Rating: 2.25 (out of 5)

2. Rey Mysterio defeated Chris Jericho by pinfall to win the Intercontinental Championship

***Match Of The Night***

This was an absolutely fabulous match. These two have off the chart chemistry and put together a match that you don't typically see in WWE. Rey looked especially motivated by this feud and was on a great roll. Jericho, as always, was just awesome.

Rating: 4.5

3. Dolph Ziggler defeated Great Khali by pinfall

This was basically a TV match that really only started a Kane/Khali feud. Unfortunately, it didn't do much for Ziggler.

Rating: 1.25

4. Chris Jericho + Edge defeated the Colons and Legacy by pinfall to win the Tag Team Championships

This was actually pretty entertaining, it was just that the crowd couldn't have cared less about it unless Jericho and Edge were in there.

Rating: 2.75

5. Michelle McCool defeated Melina by pinfall to win the Women's Championship

This was you standard divas match and perhaps a tad too long for its own good.

Rating: 1

6. Jeff Hardy defeated CM Punk by disqualification

This was actually a really fun match and the screwy ending actually accomplished the two things that it set out to. Jeff Hardy showed a little bit more edge and CM Punk walked away looking like a slimeball. Good stuff.

Rating: 3.5

7. John Cena defeated Miz by pinfall

This match had a lot of spunk, but it's a shame that it was basically a squash. However, looking back at it, I guess the Miz is doing just fine for himself.

Rating: 2.25

8. Randy Orton defeated Triple H in a Three Stages Of Hell Match

I appreciate the storytelling by having Triple H just destroy Orton and give up the one fall, just to take the second one. However, you would think that he would have thought there was a solid chance that there was going to be some outside interference, which makes it look like kind of a dumb move on his part. I thought these two were really going to put on a good show after the bad reviews they got at WrestleMania, but that was not the case. This was another mediocre affair.

Rating: 2.25

Well, this show didn't get very good reviews and I see that argument. However, the Jericho/Mysterio match is phenomenal and the Punk/Hardy match is very good. The show also has a good flow up until the last match. I would say this is more of a show somewhere in the middle.
