“The Great American Bash” PPV name was first thought up by Dusty Rhodes, with the first PPV taking place in 1985. WWE took control of the trademark when they bought WCW in 2001. WWE used the name for PPVs from 2004-2008 before changing it to “The Bash” in 2009, then dropping the PPV altogether. The next and last time WWE used the name was for an episode of SmackDown in 2012.
