The Great American Bash 2004 wwe
JBL stunned the sports entertainment world by delivering on both his promises. JBL beat Eddie Guerrero again. But at the Bash, he captured the WWE Championship, as well.
Fan favorite Latino Heat seemed to have the Texas Bull Rope Match won. He touched the first three corners in succession mere seconds before JBL did the same, illuminating a red light above each turnbuckle. When he dove above JBL to smack the fourth and final corner -- seeing that last red light shine -- it appeared he had magnificently retained his title.
But it was lights out for Guerrero after SmackDown! General Manager Kurt Angle made what he considered an unavoidable reversal of the referee's call. After further review, it was apparent to Angle that in fact, JBL had been the first to that final corner. Eddie's momentum actually forced JBL's back and shoulder into the corner before the champ's hand came down. JBL's four green lights signified to all that there was a new WWE Champion.
