INTRODUCTION
In 1964 I was taken with school to one of our local cinemas (now ALL the cinemas in the town have gone) to watch David Lean's classic film 'Great Expectation'.

(Please note: this is a Film or Pay Per View Only review ? thanks!)
One thing I will always maintain about World Wrestling Entertainment is that it's such an easy form of entertainment; so what if the matches are quite frankly rubbish? The humour is still there, even if you have to create it yourself whilst watching some of the drivel the company promotes.
The Great American Bash, as a pay per view, has a storied history; back when the WWE bought out rival company World Championship Wrestling during the early part of this century, WWE Chairman, Vince McMahon, also purchased the rights to all of WCW's names and likenesses. The problem is that fans are now offered the chance to buy 16 pay per views a year rather than the standard monthly spectacles and the Bash - as it's now commonly known as - started out as a National Wrestling ...
