in the corners. The usual from Cade and Murdoch. Blitzken was off with almost

Snitsky pushes Conway into the ropes, Conway rebounds into a clothesline making
him do a 360 in mid air. Snitsky fires up, sizes up and connects with a big
boot. 1-2-3. Passable match but nothing special. Things look bad for Conway when
he loses to Snitsky and not for the first time either. I hope this is part of an
angle or something as Conway deserves better. Here is Your Winner: SNITSKY. Post
match Snitsky celebrates while interacting with the crowd. Not much to the show
this week. Nothing really worth catching. Maria wasn't very good at announcing.
My Great American Bash picks/predictions/logic behind them: BATISTA, KING
BOOKER, PAUL LONDON & BRIAN KENDRICK, KRISTAL & MICHELLE McCOOL, WILLIAM REGAL,
UNDERTAKER. Batista/Booker T will battle at SummerSlam so I think they'll both
win tonight. The Pitbulls are the pits so I hope they don't win. William Regal
will catch Finlay out to snatch the U.S Title and unfortunately the
Undertaker/Great Khali feud will plod along. I think Gregory Helms'
Cruiserweight Title may change hands whoever his mystery opponent turns out to
be. It could be Matt Hardy but will most likely be Psicosis and Super Crazy
after seeing SmackDown!
Grisham speculates on Spirit Squad, DX and the McMahons on Raw tomorrow night
before signing off and thanking us for watching to end the show. Wherever you
are enjoy the Great American Bash later tonight. See you next week. Shaun
