The Great American Bash was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Championship Wrestling (WCW). It took place on June 11, 2000 at the Baltimore Arena in Baltimore, Maryland. It was the fourteenth overall Great American Bash event, but the tenth and final Great American Bash produced under WCW, as the promotion was acquired by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) in March 2001—the now WWE reintroduced the event in 2004.

Storylines

The event featured professional wrestling matches that involve different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Professional wrestlers portray villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.[1]

Shane Douglas put the Wall through three tables at the same time to win. The first wrestler to put their opponent through three tables would win the match. Hollywood Hogan pinned Billy Kidman after hitting him with brass knuckles to become number one contender to the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. If Hogan had lost, he would have had to retire. If Ric Flair had lost his match, he would have had to retire. Vampiro set Sting on fire to win the match. Jeff Jarrett pinned Kevin Nash after a Spear from Goldberg. Konnan was guest bellringer, Rey Misterio Jr. was guest timekeeper, Disqo was guest beltkeeper, Juventud Guerrera was guest ring announcer. After the match, Goldberg joined the New Blood.
