Talk:WWE The Bash

Poster?
Is that even offical, it looks like crap!!! If it is then Batista should be listed as having a match? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cooly123 (talk • contribs) 14:31, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
 * It's an early poster sent from WWE to In Demand, so it is real. As we go nearer to the pay-per-view, WWE will probabily release a more refined poster which will go in its place. Plus posters doesn't necessarily tell you whether the wrestler will even be at the event or not (see The Great American Bash (2007) or Vengeance (2001)). -- Oakster  Talk 11:29, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Is it me or is WWEaffiliates image place down? Super Silver  901 undefined 21:21, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I initially thought so with the HTTP 404 error. But it seems that the webpages and all the uploaded poster source links seem to be working, so chances are that WWE might have restricted access to the website's directory listings. Rightfully so, admitingly. The site's really meant to be for their business affiliates, not the general fan. It doesn't really matter anyway as there's always In Demand and WWEShop as other reliable sources. -- Oakster  Talk 21:46, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I think the poster should be taken off until a new one is posted, considering that since it's not the great american bash anymore, it will change in at least some capacity--98.207.245.73 (talk) 21:41, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * It's still the official poster, so it won't be removed until a new one is released.  TJ   Spyke   21:43, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Has jeff hardy become the new face of the poster? because on, it shows him there and if you go to wallpaper, it gived u a full poster of him. Like the other ppv's if you go to them.just a thought.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.46.207.177 (talk) 21:35, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Posters and wallpapers are not the same thing. WWE may eventually change it (they have once already), but as of right now the current poster is the official one.  TJ   Spyke   21:39, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I personally don't see any reason to change it, but what difference does it make if it's a "poster" or a "wallpaper?" They generally look exactly the same and both are official promotional material.  This isn't an attack, I genuinely want to know why one can be used, but the other can't.  Wwehurricane1 (talk) 00:36, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Does anyone know if Batista was suppossed to be hurt heading into the Bash because he JUST came back. Im just curious if he was actually supposed to defend the title or was it written in that he was going to take time off after coming back from like a 5 month vacation I'm guessing he was supposed to defend the title because he's on the poster--Kevmicester2000 (talk) 00:52, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Bash
It is just called Bash now —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.8.29.250 (talk) 15:03, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * In the poster it says The Great American Bash. Are you blind?-- Will C  15:07, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I presume IP address is talking about a recent dirt sheet report about WWE planning to rename this event "The Bash" (and not simply "Bash" as you've put it as). I'll believe it when a more reliable source is given (i.e. WWE, Arco Arena or pay-per-view providers). --  Oaks  ter   15:38, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

From what I've gathered the event will be known as "The WWE Bash 2009" however I agree we should wait until WWE confirms this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.11.155.144 (talk) 02:59, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

WWE have confirmed this, if you go to their website and see their PPV calender, the name was just shortened to The Bash and not the Great American Bash so we should change the name(User:miroa12004) (talk) 11:04 AM, 18 May 2009

As of 9.35am UK time the live events schedule still read WWE Presents THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ryd2603 (talk • contribs)
 * Yeah, all we need is the live events schedule to change and it should be full steam ahead with the move. --  Oaks  ter   09:27, 18 May 2009 (UTC)


 * , . --KingOfDX (talk) 20:11, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

According to PPV Advortisors and even some WWE Supertars the Bash is also the Great American Bash. The only reason for the name to be shortened is for convience, —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.93.167.109 (talk • contribs)
 * Did you check the article? That has been in there for several weeks.  TJ   Spyke   14:38, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Formatting Problem
It seems there are some formatting problems with the page please have a look at it, --ShanRaj 10 (talk) 05:33, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Looks fine to me, what problems are you talking about?  TJ   Spyke   21:01, 9 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I took care of them a while ago. Some ip hit the add table icon.-- Will C  02:30, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Change names
Change this page's name to WWE The Bash, and change WWE The Bash to The Great American Bash. Since this is the first ever of this PPV under the name, "The Bash," it should not have (2009) attached to it. Much like WWE Extreme Rules isn't titled Extreme Rules (2009) even though it's history is a continuation of One Night Stand. \:.:bibboorton:.:/ (talk) 11:13, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I fully agree with every word you said. It should be switched back instead of assuming that it'll happen again. -- Super Silver 901 undefined 21:38, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * It should not be "WWE The Bash" either. We don't add the "WWE" part unles it's needed for disambiguation (like with One Night Stand or Judgment Day). Maybe the general event at WWE The Bash, but there is no evidence of a 2010 event and thus this years should be just "The Bash" and shouldn't have been moved without discussion.  TJ   Spyke   04:09, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * What about Extreme Rules? It's name was WWE Extreme Rules and not Extreme Rules (2009) or even simply Extreme Rules, even though we have references stating that it's a continuation of One Night Stand? \:.:bibboorton:.:/ (talk) 13:51, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Move?
oppose Anthony Appleyard (talk) 10:26, 22 June 2009 (UTC) The Bash (2009) → The Bash &mdash; There is no other page just called "The Bash", so no disambiguation is needed. Article was moved without discussion. -  TJ   Spyke   04:06, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Move- Complete assumption that it'll return for 2010. The same with Extreme Rules. -- Super Silver 901 undefined 20:06, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * But there are many things called "bash": see Bash (disambiguation), and the section hereinabove. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:03, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * That's why it should be WWE The Bash. \:.:bibboorton:.:/ (talk) 13:52, 15 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment did anyone notice the article WWE The Bash ? 70.29.212.226 (talk) 05:09, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose The Bash should redirect to Bash (disambiguation) instead. 70.29.212.226 (talk) 05:10, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Contradict Putting a disambiguation page for "Bash" can mean many different things. The pay-per-view, a band, the act of bashing, etc... The word "Bash" will not be exclusive to WWE Promotions, therefore there should not be a disambiguation page for it. It should just be WWE The Bash for now. \:.:bibboorton:.:/ (talk) 10:12, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose: This is just The Great American Bash renamed. So a "(2009)" is somewhat needed, because I doubt they are going to end this anytime soon. The main Great American Bash article needs to renamed the the WWE The Bash now. Actually I believe the WCW/NWA GAB should be merged with the WWE one, since it is a continuation of the event.-- Will C  10:54, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose: as stated above. -- Unquestionable Truth -- 00:47, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose above:As I keep on stating, what about Extreme Rules? It was renamed from One Night Stand, with references stating it will continue One Night Stand's history, but it didn't get a (2009)? \:.:bibboorton:.:/ (talk) 15:22, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
 * There is no other event named Extreme Rules (at least yet), that's why. "The Bash" and "The Great American Bash" are a lot more similar and close enough.  TJ   Spyke   15:30, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Currently The Bash redirects to WWE The Bash. If this request is obeyed, the meaning of "The Bash" would have to be changed to The Bash (2010) then The Bash (2011) etseq as each year's match comes. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:49, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

HHH vs. Orton
This isn't happening at the Bash, it is happening on this weeks raw. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Randomtoaster (talk • contribs) 21:52, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Try checking the source in the article.  TJ   Spyke   21:59, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

3 Stages of Hell
When the match happens, how will the results table explain the results? Will it explain who won what fall? Crippler4
 * See Armageddon (2002) (which also had a Three Stages of Hell match) for how it will likely be done.  TJ   Spyke   21:35, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Updated Jeff Hardy Poster
Can you change the poster to the new Jeff Hardy one please. http://www.wwe.com/shows/thebash/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.8.29.250 (talk • contribs)
 * Did you choose to ignore the fact that this was already discussed? That is the wallpaper, not poster.  TJ   Spyke   20:34, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Do you choose to be so rude and hateful in all of your replies or does it just come naturally? Wwehurricane1 (talk) 21:58, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Do you choose to be ignorant or does it come natural? This was already asked and answer in the very top of the page. And for the record, I wasn't being rude.  TJ   Spyke   22:10, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * How am I being ignorant? You are the one who has twice accused me of making stuff up just because the information that I was giving was something that you didn't know and then disappeared from the topic when what I said was confirmed to be true. When someone asks a question that has already been answered, is it not enough to just point them in the right direction or, God forbid, just ignore it if it bothers you that much? When someone makes an edit that you don't approve of, is it not enough just to revert it with a simple explanation why and without all the snarky comments? And when someone posts information that you don't have, is it not enough just to wait and see if it turns out to be true rather than calling them a liar and then disappearing when they turn out to be right?  Wwehurricane1 (talk) 22:31, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I asked them if they were choosing to ignore the section this was asked and answered, that was not rude. You were the one who came in and started being rude. I should have given you a warning for that.  TJ   Spyke   22:47, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * It was rude. You could have just said "See the discussion at the top," or just ignored the comment all together. The idea of you giving me a warning for pointing out your incivility is absurd. I'm finished discussing this matter because it (and the many just like it that have come before) isn't helping. Your attitude towards the other members of this site will catch up to you eventually. Wwehurricane1 (talk) 23:00, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * It was not rude and you know it. The warning would have been for your personal attack against me, I was nice in not adding another warning to your page. Unlike you, I actually try to improve this project.  TJ   Spyke   23:11, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Actually to settle the poster for The Bash (2009) event can be changed to the Jeff Hardy version that I might change during the event. I have heard on various sources that it needed to be changed because Batista needed to be out of action for 4 months so WWE.com posted a new event poster for The Bash to feature Hardy instead, so therefore I can post a new poster for the article if I want to. Ferrari-gt (talk) 00:26, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * No, it can't be changed because the official poster has Batista on it. Jeff Hardy is only on the wallpaper.  TJ   Spyke   00:37, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I think the main reason is consistency. We always use the poster if it's available (or the VHS/DVD cover if no poster can be found). The poster can be odd sometimes. I remember Kane being on the Judgment Day 2007 poster but he only competed in the dark match.  TJ   Spyke   01:11, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Makes sense. Like I said, I don't see any reason to change it.  The only argument for doing so would be that Batista isn't at the event, but that has never mattered in the past.  See: Vengeance 2001 and 2002.Wwehurricane1 (talk) 01:21, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Michelle's Titles
Should it be mentioned that McCool made history/ won both her titles in this event? She became the first ever Divas Champion @ The Great American Bash 2008 and she won the Womens Champion/ the first Diva to win both titles this year. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.237.238.130 (talk) 04:32, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Jeff Hardy poster should be used?
I know this has been explained about in the past, but I feel that the Jeff Hardy poster should be used instead of the Batista one, due to the fact that since "The Bash" 2009 has been released on DVD, it shows Jeff Hardy's poster, which is now making me believe that the Batista one was originally going to be used as the official poster, but they then changed it to Jeff Hardy after Batista was supposedly injured the night after the previous pay-per-view, "Extreme Rules".

Should the Jeff Hardy poster be posted to avoid confusion? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shadowmario64fan (talk • contribs) 19:56, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * DVD covers are frequently different than the poster. The only official poster featured Batista.  TJ   Spyke   20:03, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
