The only Bash I would consider buying is 2006. The first hour was pretty damn impressive for the WWE. Londrick vs The Pitbulls was one of the true rare gems of 2006. It's probably my favorite PPV tag match (Non-gimmick) since Benoit/Angle vs Edge/Mysterio at No Mercy 2002.

For the most part, GAB has had a lot of bad luck. Being brought back by the WWE for SD in 2004 was a death sentence. Smackdown was horrible at the time and there was little they could do to make the show good. Even though Raw had an off month in July 2004, had GAB been given to Raw, they would of been able to produce some good PPV's.

By time SD finally got their shit together, they could only put on one good GAB. The reason why I love GAB 2006 so much is because it should of been a disaster. No less than 4 matches were forced to be altered at the last minute due to injuries or health scares. Once it became a PPV for all brands, there was no reason to make it special with Summerslam the following month. Looking back at the last two years, there was a lot of filler.

If there's one thing I could change about the Bash, it would of been to have War Games at every one.
