WWE decided to revive the Great American Bash in 2004, with the former WCW event becoming Smackdown’s July PPV. When the news first became known, WWE fans were optimistic. It would probably be far different from WCW’s version of the event, but at least it was a different concept than usual.
How disappointed fans must have been, then, with the first incarnation of the WWE Great American Bash. Featuring a card comprised mostly of house show quality matches and featuring one of the most awful WWE main events ever (the Undertaker/Dudley Boys Concrete Crypt match), it was a total washout.
Would 2005’s version be any better?
No, not really. After a very good Judgement Day in May, it was hoped that the Smackdown crew could knock it out of the park, once again. Sadly, they could not. Featuring more poor matches and awful booking decisions, the...

Hard to believe it’s been close to a decade since the wrestling world lost Eddie Guerrero. Aged 38 – for most real sports he’d be well past his prime. For wrestling, he was just peaking in WWE’s main event scene.
He’s one of the best wrestlers of all time, no doubt. Clearly, he didn’t have the drawing power of Hogan, Rock or Austin – but for a true fan of wrestling he was an absolute delight to watch on almost every front. A fantastic performer and master of the theatricality of wrestling accompanied with actual athletic ability that was on par with any wrestler ever to flog a tacky looking t-shirt.
It was hard to narrow down Guerrero’s best matches to just ten. But eight years on, these are the ones that stick out the most.
