Worst in the World: The Great American Trash: The Sequel!

Last year on the 4th of July, I took a look at the 2004 edition of the Great American Bash , one of the worst pay-per-views WWE has ever held. Well, one year later, WWE would once again hold the Great American Bash, and it was still bad. Granted, it's a slight improvement over the previous year's event, and the card definitely feels more pay-per-view worthy than 2004's (there's not a Luther Reigns or a Mordecai match in sight), but it's still not a very good show overall.

He is now seen as a blight on WWE history and is often considered one of the worst professional wrestlers of all time. Despite that status, that didn't stop WWE from pushing him as a main eventer, challenging John Cena & Triple H for the WWE Championship on separate occasions and even WINNING THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP! You might think I'm kidding, but I'm not. Here it is on his...
