Truthslayer's PPV Review For WWE's Great American Bash 2008

[LadyLolliipops]

I hate how people forget about the Divas

[mryoucantseeme16]

i saw highlights of jericho/michaels

it wusn't fair. michales had his ass kicked 4 way 2 long

[jeffkools]

I went to the bash last year and it was awesome IMO.

[CandianSuplex]

Ok dude don't be so hard on Michelle ok!?

She is the first ever Divas Champion and the winner of the 2008 Smackdown top Diva contest ok so please give her some respect.

[Big2thaTony]

@CandianSuplex So fucking what? What is you're point? You do realize she was able to get those things was because of the Undertaker you know. Not because she was talented!

[CandianSuplex]

@Big2thaTony So fucking what? She's come a LONG way, I hope you realize that. She went from a teacher to one of the best on Smackdown

[Gun2Nutz]

international

[mysterio1027]

Giving Cena vs JBL **3/4 Stars is being way to generous. That match was trash.

[wweecw1]

im going to this year gab in philly frst ppv live for me cant wait

[hansebangerstudios]

booo

[twiztidlestat]

I dont get the star system. Seriously. Why cant it just be detailed descriptions, rather than the star system. Its kinda dumb. No offense

[Hoppydude]

[BonzoRofman]

i think that triple H is a bad champion , just horrible..

im a cena mark but its good that cena loosing in ppv .

shelton won , finaly a title for him , he deserve it.

HBK-Y2J was classic.

thums in the middle.

[Broonlie]

kaz aint leaving tna

[aussie4life05]

Matt Hardy vs Shelton easily deserved the ***.

[deadman11111111]

you suck dickhead

[MasterBubuFuckingSux]

u know who really sucks? masterbubu69

[violator04]

You can't expect great stuff from the GAB, because they almost always use it as a set up for Summerslam. I called the Kane run-in before the match even started. My problem is what they've now done for Summerslam: Triple H vs Khali. That match=dog shit. That's not a main event, Khali shouldn't even be on the card. They had 5 other guys in that battle royal that could of faced Triple H, and they book Khali to face him. Hopefully, Raw has a better title match. Taker vs Edge will be good though.

[alithekingshah]

Truthslayer do you like WWE better or TNA better.

[byron7583]

How does the divas match get 1 1/2 stars ? I understand that the tna knockouts are way ahead of the divas in terms of in-ring abilities, but some of the divas are really improving. I think McCool and Natalya are two of the best, and they put on a very good match. What hurt it was the fact that they were given about 5 or 6 minutes which is complete BS. WWE needs to give the divas more time to shine, especially on PPV, in these types of matches rather than useless " dance and bikini competitions "

[janaekeeton]

dude Michelle McCool SUCKS and she won which is horrible pretty much everyone was hoping Natalya would win

[byron7583]

i admit that natalya is much better, but to say McCool sucks is just idiotic. have you seen her wrestle ? come on man, get real.

[TraciPeteyforlife]

Excellent vid. A very fun watch.

[sroeballs]

HA! You're such a mark for the fed. This ppv was shite. The Jericho v HBK match was so boring. Just look back to lockdown to see how this super stiff style type of match is meant to be done.

Cena v JBL was a total abortion. I found it to be pretty much insulting to wrestling fans. Just shocking stuff.

I do agree with punk v batista. I was really enjoying this match & was VERY pissed off at the run in ending. Punk looked great & he got in a lot offense.

overall this was poor TSlay

[HeartBreakKid79]

WOW. ANOTHER tna fanboy? damn this is annoying

[Y2Jericho02]

lol the PPV sucked so much you dumbass

[TNA5150Homicide]

what tna fans cant have an opinion

[MasterBubuFuckingSux]

no lol

[AFreakyDude]

What's your impression of CM Punk's promo of him saying that you don't have to 6'6 and ripped to be World Champion?

[ytcrittical]

its incredible when you look at the awesome names on that card, every match could have been a classic, and yet vince still decides to make every single match pants, whats up with that guy?

[HorrorKungFuKid]

hey!!! truthslayer whats the name of your intro track where can i find it.

[AFreakyDude]

O Fortuna from Carmina Burana by Carl Orff.

[C16H12FN3O3]

See, what bothered me the most out of the entire Pay Per View is that the New York City Parking Lot Brawl took place in a garage in Long Island...I mean, I understand it's just a name, just as when they call it a "Belfast Brawl" they're not really in Ireland, but seriously, as a New Yorker I find it very frustrating when Long Island is given credit just because it's adjacent to NYC...

[nickg887]

lol i barely watch wwe anymore but i still watch all of tslays videos.

[WorstThereEverWillBe]

Kane had to run in cuz 1. CM cant lose his title so quick cuz he draws ratings and 2. CMs not good enough yet to beat Batista clean IMO

[Benoitrip92]

kaz is leaving tna that fucken sucks

[ellieg96]

In other words, TNA sucks.

[Y2Jericho02]

that's why TNA's PPVS are better?

[IFuckBoysNotGirls]

Vikkie will end up bringing back taker. Then we will get Taker vs Edge at Summerslam. Or Possibly a Triple Treat Match for the Title: HHH vs Edge vs Taker.

[willierk0]

I agree we will see Taker-Edge at Summerslam, and I think we will see Big Show vs. Triple H for the title which should be interesting

[LatinoNation5150]

The PPV Sucked!!

[CaptainPr0nz]

henry/dreamer better than lethal dutt?

neither were that good but seriously, fuck you.

[Jordanroh78]

which two shows should i get from the 10 dollor sell out of these. joe vs. kobashi, better than our best, final battle 05, manhattan mayhem, and supercard of honor

[willierk0]

Better than our Best, and Supercard of Honor/Final Battle 05

[Jordanroh78]

thanks

[buttfrank]

I got a question for your QNA, if WWE brought back the GAB why dont they bring back other WCW ppv's such as Fall brawl Starrcade and the other ones you mentioned? why did they only bring back the bash?

[duffman76]

cos its great and its american.

[armanirza]

PPV RATING------- 2.25

[d731andre]

why would shelton be motivated. his career is going no where.he has yet to hold a world title.

they gave him the 2nd place belt again.they know hes the best athelete on smackdown so I dont blame for not giving a shit about the match

[rukiXrosawere]

Whoever says Hawkins and Ryder suck are gonna have to mess with everyone from long island.

[XxOneManDynastyxX]

I hated seeing Kane fuck up the World Heavyweight Title match but it made a lot of sense. I'm a huge Punk fan but even I thought he was going to lose.

If they build Punk for Summerslam then i could totally see him winning but as for lat night it made sense

and I was there live =)

[ManChild737]

Colin Delaney is the next Steve Corino ..... IMO

[hoganrulz12]

tna does the exact same stuff sometimes but people will give the credit to wwe or roh.wwe needs to do what wcw did with great american bash back in the day and made it a ppv that settled fueds like booker t and benoit or sting and ric flair.

[kingofkings887]

hey good review man, wwe is going with a batista, kane storyline and i read on this website that kane will be going back to his masked self. an it's kind of obvious that kanes mask is in that bag he carries around. should be interesting stuff.

[telkevolon]

It really isn't obvious that its Kane's mask in the bag.

[hoganrulz12]

i don't get why we didn't see more weapons being used in the parking lot brawl match. it was great when vicki came down and hit that other lady who looks like crystal.

[hoganrulz12]

i agree with most part but i don't care too much about telling story's in a match cuz i really like spots that keep me into matches especially in openers but if we see blood or what not i will appreciate the story telling in a match.

[Dante1Savage]

I have a question for you, what do you feel is the best ever Great American Bash, I think its between 1990, 91 and 98 to a lesser degree. What do you think? (I'm not looking for a video response, just a comment due to interest.)

[BigDaddy0207]

TSlay I agree with you about the tag teams divison being very lack luster. I really thought Miz and Morrison revived the Titles by defending the belts more. Let me know what you think?

[y2jbrock]

cena is superman i guess.... he can survive fire and car crashes

[Dante1Savage]

good video. I personaly didn't like how Matt lost just due to how his US Title run went. I felt that as his first major singles title and not to have a storyline, or a noticeable fued or even a promo is criminal. I also didn't like the Parking lot brawl whatsoever.

[Stevenio]

Trim your sideburns.

[cenaslayer]

For sure WWEs best GAB.

[rpballa]

tna sucks

[heathledgersucks]

tna sucks i disagree with u tna rules

[Norg1]

Last years GAB was pretty good

Cena vs Bobby lashey

i think was prob both mens best match def in there top 3

[korprayer]

so how many times has jbl attempted to murder cena now?

[Adampro123]

Personally i thought this was the worst PPV in a long time even if im a huge shelton benjamin fan and love seeing him win the US title. but still this PPV was bad very bad to me. the only good match was punk vs batista then it got ruined.IMO.

[CarlClausewitz]

Are you dyslexic?

[cottoncandyflops14]

it was funny when edge speared vickie

[FLASHFOTO]

your biased. admit it. it is what it is. i don't know why you bother comparing wwe and tna. wwe has been doing this for decades, where tna has not. of course the production value of wwe will be much much higher than tna. i thought the ppv was lame. john cena and jbl for the hundredth time, i mean- come on!

[Dante1Savage]

wwe has been doing this for years? Right considering Vince Russo, Dutch Mantell and Jeff Jarrett do the booking? yeah there all rookies and Oh yh Keith Mitchell and Bill Banks are on production! There rookies too? wise up, TNA needs to also.

[12TNAbuDDay18]

this ppv SUCKED

of course mcmahon is gonna shit on the only ppv that wasnt his

thank god they havent shit on a cool ppv like halloween havoc or starrcade

[dips85]

i thought the ppv was good, the divas match wasn't the best match those two could have put on. my fav macthes were hbk/y2j and whc match. i liked how wwe is iving benjamin a chance, shame he messed up those two backbreakers.

[dillonseavers]

ur gay

[y2jericho22]

6 3/4r u serious and u call henry vs dreamer avg but call dutt vs lethal below avg hahaha what?

[ChicagoBass]

It makes sense...The dutt vs lethal match had a feel that wasn't that great. Honestly, man it didnt progress their fued at all. Hey I love Dutt as a heel, but that match should have had more and I'm not talking about spots.

[ratnick]

TNA suxx, admit it !

[scipio2009]

My only comment is that sometimes it does seem that you're overly critical of what TNA produces, while letting the WWE get a free pass in spots.

A quick example, but did you really feel you were forcing yourself to watch Lethal/Dutt or the Fan's Revenge match, at Victory Road?

[TSlay1974]

yes i did feel i was forceing my self to watch both of those when I saw them On the PPV. while Lethal/Dutt and Fans Revenge both had good things in them they both got to a point where I was forceing myself to watch them so they had me but then they lost me at some point.

[lotsofsweets]

tru

[scipio2009]

Well, like everyone else, you are entitled to your opinion, but I have to respectfully disagree.

Personally, I feel both matches had far more good stuff than bad stuff. From the progression of Lethal/Dutt, to the spectacle of Fan's Revenge, i felt both were fun matches, but that's my opinion

[alithekingshah]

Hopefully summerslam would be better.

[handsomechill22]

i didnt watch the pay per view because i went to see the dark knight and i dont regreted at all, man... the movie is AMAZING, bad weekend to trow a pay per view wwe, this was the dark knight weekend.

[cody982031]

fag

[RichboyJhae]

Once again, TNA defeats WWE in PPV's. Victory Road>Great American Bash. ice review.

[BREEDED702]

your gay

[sexysisters78]

Did JBL loose??

[Bkballer3000]

He won

[DogmaD7]

whats the name of the song that plays in the begining of this video?

[takerisawesome]

i was there it was awesome

[ratedRgamer]

tna cant pull off things as good as the wwe cuz tna rush things to fast

[Blakehaed098]

I COULDNT SEE IT CAUSE IT WAS $39.95

[RAwrestle93]

it was free on justin(dot)tv

[imbaownage]

Do you have lower standards for the WWE ppv's and higher standards for TNA's ppvs?

The only reason I ask this is that you always overrate WWE's and Underrate TNA's.

[heroesrocks]

maybe a little higher but pretty darn acurate

[blackmail06]

idk if you are biased but sometimes I honestly think you ride ROH, like WWE/then don't like WWE, and bash TNA.

My biggest gripe with you is that you always mention the other companies in your reviews. I really like the reviews that focus on the PPV I just saw not comparing who did what

[blackmail06]

oh and am i the only one who feels like the term "told a story" has been used for every ppv since WM24?

[TSlay1974]

Here is the problem with that if I do that then people start asking...why did you like it when WWE did it and not when TNA did it. Or vise Versa. To me this was a good review to show how WWE often can get away with things and do things better than TNA can. That is why I did it. Not to compaire the two but just to show why I get frustrated with things.

[blackmail06]

oh i see what you mean

I guess what I want in a review isn't what other people want

[777McLovin777]

wow i thought u would have buried the shit out of this PPV

[MattMystrieo]

6.75? What the fuck? This PPV was awsome.

[militarfreak]

Not really

[MattMystrieo]

Guess thats why I don't like reviews much, its all personal opinion at the end of the day.

[yanksjets17]

miami ink shirt

[dannybammy]

TNA just need's to slow down on their booking.

[Xera077]

Dark Knight > Great American Bash and Victory Road.

[videoner]

hell no

[Xera077]

Did you even watch the movie?

[NYG4LIFE123]

Dark Knight > anything else ever made for TV or cinema!

That movie kicked so much ass its not even funny.

[videoner]

hell yes and it was fucking awesome better than shity fake wwe wrestling

[thenuell]

is that a triple h shirt

[dogiem]

i have

[mysterio1027]

IMO The first 2 matches should be three stars. GAB was a normal PPV but Hopefully Summerslam blows us away

[stanlez99]

This was boring garbage.

[rtgiardino1]

hey tslay i was there last night it was pretty good

[yamisabeast]

ya it was like 7.5 stars i was there too

[kapengmabula]

wwe's ppv's are getting worse, that's not a good sign

as for the women's match, i still hate the Divas' Title, seeing natalya wear it is somewhat sacrilegious to the kind of talent she possessed

[adamfear17]

From what i heard this pay per view sucked balls, still is a big big fan of yours from way way up North Bruce Adams

[ECWpaulBest69XD]

i really thought Dreamer had a chance to win the title. dreamer deserves at a decent ecw title run. i honestly also enjoyied the parking lot brawl. overall a pretty soild ppv.

[thepaulminator17]

in a way i'm glad that they moved hhh to smackdown cause even though he is the champ, they're still having edge be the main guy on the show

[hydra555]

The PPV sucked

[mjoh5679]

did you watch it?

[shaigy24]

wwe always hv a sticky patch throughout the year with there ppv veiws

usually Great American Bash, One Nyt Stand and Night Of Champions .

Last years ppv veiws after No Mercy were all good untill judgement day this year :)

[WECENANUFF]

I feel asleep during it.

[Reddogg19]

I was suprised that Shelton Benjamin won the U.S title because i thought Matt Hardy was gonna hold that title a bit longer. They should have a another match at Summerslam but this time a Ladder match.

[alexthebklynkid]

It was so fucking funny when Michaels lost. Everyone on the stream was cheering for HBK and I was the only one for Y2J. That and Edge/HHH was somewhat memorable. The rest was forgettable and nothing special. Still the best WWE GAB so far.

[alexthebklynkid]

lol the parking lot brawl was so boring that i made a fucked up joke that said this "I bet Eddie right now is using a walky talky to talk to Benoit in hell" Everyone LOL'd on the stream. They said my joke made up for this shit PPV

[daveo1423]

Buy the PPV you cheapskate

[alexthebklynkid]

I wasnt gonna watch the PPV to begin with. And I pay for that shitty WWE 24/7 monthly so they're getting enough money from me. Also people offered me to watch this and since I had nothing to do at the time, I decided to watch that shit. Y2J/HBK and HHH/Edge was good. Everything else was ok to bad.

[JDaGame]

Benjamin vs Hardy ***1/3

[WweJth]

I see you took full advantage of your ad to get 10+ minutes. :)

[WWE4721Titantrons]

Raw Is JERICHOOOOOOOOOOO

[dritonbala81]

come on talk about the ppv

stop talking about tna

[kingjames41189]

I always laugh at people who say Batista can't work.

Nice Review. Similar match ratings from me. Off by 1/4* here and there.

[JOESGONNAKILLY0U]

the show was garbage beginning to end.

[ranma2222000]

TSlay can you tell us what happened after GAB 2004? I was reading something interesting happened on PWI but it was for elite subscribers only.

[lexer777]

LOL the jumper cables to jbl's balls was so funny

[Cuda123087]

Yeah, this PPV was full of good but not great stuff. A couple matches were bad but everything was pretty decent. However, that lack of overpowering "MUST-SEE!" match hurt it a bit.

[sabuiscool]

what is the best year from roh? What dvds should i buy from that year?

[ufcisgay]

come on fallbrawl a big wcw ppv i disagree the war games match was big but the ppv itself definately not biggest wcw ppvs would be starcade,great american bash and superbrawl great american bash 89 and 97 would blow this ppv away

[NYG4LIFE123]

Why does every discussion on a PPV turn into a TNA/WWE comparisson?

[surenopimp]

agree with NYG4LIFE123

[kotk05]

When I saw the JBL/Cena match I was thinking "this look very familiar, it looks like that one fight scene in that Jean Claude Van Dam flick Lionheart"

[RAwrestle93]

awesome review tslay, i think u underrated matt hardy vs shelton benjamin though

[TNA5150Homicide]

id agree with that

[Pecker6914]

CM Punk vs. Batista match felt kind of TNA'ish.

[WSForums]

I agree with near all your ratings, but I think Batista/Punk was more ***1/2.

[monster1555]

i had the same exact feeling after seeing this ppv. it felt like an episode of raw. i didn't care for it and definitely not worth my 40 bucks

[HotSpicyTasteGreat]

but u gave vicory roaad a higher rating

[TSlay1974]

Victory Road had a Must see Match on it just the mainevent was Horible.

[SpoodBeest]

good review but im still bummed that Matt Hardy lost the U.S. title :|

[lexer777]

yeh me too he had a good little run but he will challenge for the ecw title soon

[ACExKILLAx51x50]

great review like all ways

[coolnerd2736]

Good review it seems like the wwe can never go all out with there storylines like CTvsDb&R would make perfect sense it seems like mainstream wrestling like to shoot them selfs on the foot hope the youtube money is good Chocolate rainnn lolsz

[HamFromGCAH]

cool
