Ramblings of a Wrestling Fan: The Bash

2009’s The Bash PPV has come and gone, but what will happen from here?

Kane finally appeared on television after he interfered in the Great Khali vs. Dolph Ziggler match. Please tell me this isn’t leading to a Kane/Khali feud! That’ll be worse than Cena/Big Show!!

Smackdown General Manger Teddy Long was under the pump all night long. He was asked by Vince to shake things up, and boy did he ever!

The Unified Tag Team title match had a third team of Edge and Chris Jericho thrown in at the last second, and they managed to come away with the win.

At last, WWE is starting to bring some prestige back to the tag team division. What will the team of Edge and Chris Jericho call themselves? The Canadian Connection? E & C 2.0? Maybe just plain old Edge and Jericho?

Jeff Hardy wrestling without wearing face paint seems to be the equivalent of Tazz removing his glasses. It’s the whole “this is serious, folks” thing all over again.

McCool became the first woman in WWE history to obtain the Women’s and Diva’s championships. Hopefully this will be the kick start that the women’s division needs right now. Michelle McCool vs. Gail Kim has a nice ring to it.

Mysterio was never going to lose the mask in the Intercontinental championship match. I don’t know why WWE insists on teasing us with the possibility.

It should and will not happen again! Think of all the money WWE would be missing out on in merchandise sales of Mysterio’s mask! I must say, that I didn’t expect him to win cleanly, though.

The Miz should’ve won. I don’t care if it was by DQ or some other way, but he should’ve got the win to continue the feud. It was just a squash match to prop up Cena’s ego. Way to kill The Miz’s momentum, WWE!

Is the shoulder block now the trendiest move in WWE? I mean seriously, how many guys are using that now!?

The CM Punk heel turn is almost complete. After getting a finger in the eye, he’ll say he couldn’t see when he kicked the ref “by accident.” Give it another month and I think that almost everyone will be booing Punk.

Is this the start of the end for Legacy? We saw DiBiase finally confront Orton, asking if they were just Orton’s lackies. For so long I have heard people talk about the potential that Ted DiBiase possesses. Are we finally going to get the chance to see it?

I’m so glad that WWE did the right thing and had Orton retain the WWE championship. Hopefully now we will see a decent run from him as champion. It’s probably the best thing that WWE and Raw could do right now.
