Great American Bash Thoughts

Blitzkrieg

I don't know if I can say whether or not Hassan is gone for good. Now, I know it's been reported that the character is done, but I'm wondering if WWE will have a talk with USA and try bringing Hassan back into the fold..


They did leave it where Hassan could come back. He's not dead. He was carried out on a stretcher and we won't be seeing him again anytime soon..

But if USA ever gave WWE the word that they could bring him back, He'd prolly be back in a second.

What they could do is have him appear on the website after a few months or longer with some messages to WWE, Have his music play on SD! BUT after a few seconds have to change to something dark and erie, just so people know who it is/was without showing him ever. Have things that Taker use to do to others, like the lights going out,and when they come back on, have Taker laid out in the ring. Do this on and off for a while and then start showing him in the shadows and lurking in fog with messages to Taker that The Risen will seek his revenge. Have him say that no one has been able to take out the Deadman after all these years, but they were ALIVE! Have this go on for a long then bringing him back as the Risen to seek his revenge on the Undertaker. They could even bring back Paul Bauer saying that The Risen also ran into someone while he was on the other side who helped him return and wants their own revenge. "This time, it is you Undertaker, who will be sent back to where you sent so many including, The Risen!

Instant gimmick change and it allows an out for him to lose the whole Arab thing that would have haunted him.

I'm sure others will hate your idea..well, basically, because it's your idea..But I like it.

Forget the whole Arab gimmick..He can change his name like you said and stalk the Taker. He will lurk in the shadows. He will try to beat The Deadman at his own game. I like it..I really do. We're on the same path Ida.

However, SD! writers? haha..Hassan is either gone for good, or they'll bring him back as something hella gay.

Like Raw with The BoogieMan? The Risen would be hella better then some freak with retardo horns lol.

Thanks, I think it would work pretty good. Not that it would ever happen lol.

As is the way over here, I'm always last to see the shows, but here goes -

Pros

Just about every performer worked real hard out there. As is the way in WWE, the writers may suck, but at least the performers put in PPV effort.

Eddie and Rey's match. I thought it was the best of their interminably long series of matches. Well paced, good action throughout.

Orlando Jordan. A good showing from OJ, albeit he was in the ring with a master, but he showed enough to indicate to me that he could push on in future.

Booker and Christian. Just a good value match. Nothing less than you'd expect from two very good performers.

Cons

Complete lack of surprises. I'm not sure I know how to describe this one myself, but I hate when a PPV is "by the numbers" and this is how this one felt all the way through, predictable and cheap.

I'm hoping the LoD crap is just a week long piece of rubbish before the titles go back to M-N-M. Animal is a completely out of shape middle aged performer and Heidenreich is a wrestling buffoon. Together they are champions? Oh well, it's great to have a DVD out of your better days along with having your brother sitting next to Vince's ear everyday.

Chris Benoit. I just feel sorry for the guy. This win for OJ (a pretty damn clean one at that, as WWE matches go) was pretty much out of the blue. OJ has just been a sap for JBL up to now and now it's been decided that the guy that less than a year ago was World Champion is putting him over before others do seems harsh. If guys like Hardcore Holly cannot put OJ over decently why does Benoit have to? Full props to Benoit for doing a professional "job" as always.

A PPV should deliver on it's promises. Of course, it wasn't promised that we would find out Eddie's secret on the show as they weren't going to give away the result, but to have Rey go over for the 6th time this year and have the twelve people (out of the fifteen) who bought this PPV feel miffed that they are still no closer a resolution to this is bad booking. Especially when you think they will probably give away Eddie's secret on free TV now. Plus no PPV should finish on a DQ. We get enough of those on Smackdown/Raw TV matches. That's what TV matches are for.

I want to see this PPV. It looked good on paper. I wish I were rich in order to purchase these PPV DVDs.

Steveo

Ya, It LOOKED good on paper. Too bad the excecution was awful.

Get yourself an old wrestling tape. Watch Flair in his prime, Terry Funk, The Road Warriors, Dusty Rhodes, Ricky Steamboat, Barry Windham, The Andersons, Pat Patterson, The Briscoes, and I dare you,... I dare you to try to tell me that WWE is even a remotely good product. Wrestling happened before 1998 and just because you didn't see it does not mean it did not exist. Broaden your horizons people!!!
