Am I the only one with high hopes for Mr. Kennedy vs. Batista?

This card has gotten much better with the omission of Great Khali.

I was hoping to see Taker "kill" him. I squealed when he gave that freak of nature a chair shot on "ECW". Ah well, if tonight is the last time I see that bannana headed MF I can live with it.

ECW will be the #2 show by default in mere months if Smackdown keeps falling apart as it has.

Yes i know that, But there should be somethin saying Spoiler just incase you dont wanna know for the people that are gettin the PPV. I honestly dont care b/c Im smart enough to quit reading after I noticed it, Just I dont understand Honestly why people Post spoilers for PPV's and stuff

But itz all good, Thanks for Leading me down the right road

Plus I dont mind reading maybe spoilers for a Smackdown or Impact show you know right at the time, But I dont see why so many people wanna know spoilers to a PPV or Something thatz going to happen in the Future..I mean wouldnt that just kill the What if Thing that wrestling is pretty much about...Like a lot of guys here for TNA are so excited about Samoa Joe maybe winning the title at Bound For Glory but I mean what will be exciting about it if you allready know he's going to win? I didnt read the Mysterio Spoiler but If w/e it is True I mean doesnt that just Kill the whole thing for that for the person personally? haha awww screw it I'll be back on here sunday night after the PPV and Post how I thought it was...Hopefully itz not as bad as last weekends PPV but Im not expecting Much..Boiled Peanuts hopefully is the Savior for me

I love the GAB PPV name but ever since the WWE adopted it as one of their annual shows they have just been horrible shows, the trend seems to continue this year.

THE CURSE OF THE BASH!

World Championship Wrestling GAB
1991
July 14, 1991 in Baltimore, MD (Baltimore Arena)

P.N. News and Bobby Eaton def. "Stunning" Steve Austin and Terrance Taylor (with Lady Blossom & Alexandra York) in a Capture-the-Flag Scaffold Match
The Yellow Dog def. Johnny B. Badd (with Theodore Long)
Ron Simmons def. Oz (with Merlin)
Big Josh def. Black Blood (with Kevin Sullivan)
Dustin Rhodes, Tracy Smothers and Steve Armstrong def. Fabulous Freebirds (with Big Daddy Dink) in a Tag Team Elimination Match
The Diamond Studd (with Diamond Dallas Page) def. Tom Zenk
El Gigante def. One Man Gang (with Kevin Sullivan)
Richard Morton (with Alexandra York & Mr. Hughes) def. Robert Gibson
Nikita Koloff def. Sting in a Russian Chain Match
Lex Luger (with Harley Race & Mr. Hughes) def. Barry Windham to win the vacant WCW World Title in a Steel Cage Match
Rick Steiner and Missy Hyatt def. Arn Anderson and Paul E. Dangerously in a Steel Cage Match

This edition is considered to be the worst WCW pay-per-view ever (and one of the worst wrestling PPVs ever), and is best remembered for the live audience loudly chanting "WE WANT FLAIR!" throughout the show. The card was originally scheduled to be highlighted by a steel cage match between Ric Flair and Lex Luger for the WCW World Championship, and this match was heavily promoted on WCW television. However, just a few days before the show, then-WCW Executive Vice President Jim Herd fired Flair over a contract dispute, stripping him of the title in the process. Barry Windham, whom the fans hardly considered on Flair's level (although he did work few main events in the past, generally against Flair), was quickly penciled into the match as a substitution. Luger, who had been one of WCW's top babyfaces going into the match (and who seemingly was to finally get his long-awaited title victory over Flair before the behind-the-scenes turmoil threw the booking into disarray), turned heel by its conclusion, which also infuriated fans; Luger's turn, it was widely held, made no sense. Since Flair also took the "big gold belt" with him to the WWF, as he was still recognized as the world champion of the NWA at the time, WCW had to make a temporary WCW World Heavyweight Championship belt just for the Bash. An old PWF belt (in this case, the old Dusty Rhodes promotion PWF WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION belt) was used, with a plain-looking gold plate etched with the words "WCW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION."
Also, while Missy Hyatt was billed as being a competitor in the final match, she did not actively participate in the match, due to restrictions by the Maryland State Athletic Commission (she was carried back to the backstage area by the tag team, The Hardliners)
It is also the first Bash under the WCW banner (the previous Bashes were under the NWA banner)
Eric Bischoff made his announcing debut for WCW.

I've been adding spoiler to the threads since the first thread that I have made for PPV's/tv shows, to keep all the PPV talk into one thread.

These spoilers aren't 100% confirmed and there is a 10% chance that rumors/spoilers even come true.

There wasn't even a World title defense at Bound for Glory involving Samoa Joe.

Extreme, it doesn't bother you for this PPV because your not paying for it. But how about the rest of the guys that are complaining, shouldn't it bother you bro so we can have some kind of consistancy around here on the Spoilers? Others are paying for this event.

Am I mad about this because I'm the main culprit, No. If you guys can decide how you want spoilers posted, I'll abide by the Spoiler rules.

I apologize to everyone for posting these in that manner.
