Review: 2001 Unforgiven
September 23, 2001
Mellon Arena
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Four-Team Elmination Match for the WWF Tag Team Championship:
Dudley Boyz (Champions) V. Hardy Boyz V. The Hurricane & Lance Storm V. Big Show & Spike Dudley
This match was pretty good. You probably know what two teams it would come down to. The Dudleyz retain. ***1/2

Raven V. Perry Saturn
This match could have been very good. Like their match at the 1998 Fall Brawl, but it wasn't that good at all. Saturn wins. *1/2

WWF Intercontinental Championship Match:
Edge (Champion) V. Christian
Pretty good match and it could have been better. Christian wins his first Intercontinental Champiomnship. *** Note: If you look at Christian's matches from then and now, he has evolved into something great. I can see him winning the World Heavyweight Championship next year (2005) or the year after next.

WCW Tag Team Championship:
Undertaker & Kane (Champions) V. Kronik
Good match with a hot ending. Taker & Kane retain. ***1/2

WWF Hardcore Championship:
Rob Van Dam (Champion) V. Chris Jericho
Awesome match. This match was the showstealer. RVD retains. ****3/4

Handicap Match for the WCW Championship:
The Rock (Champion) V. Shane McMahon & Booker T.
Great match with the Rock retaining. ****

WCW United States Championship:
Tajiri (Champion) V. Rhyno
This match was short, but exciting. Rhyno wins the U.S. Title. ***

WWF Championship:
Stone Cold Steve Austin (Champion) V. Kurt Angle
I hate to say it, but this match was a disappointment. Their match at Summerslam was awesome. This match was just good. There were some cool spots in there and Angle wins the Title! YES. But, he gets screwed out of it two weeks later and doesn't see it again for 14 months. ***

Overall, a pleasantly good show. However, Austin/Angle was a disappointment from where I sit, they can have a better match than that and they did (SummerSlam) and will (Vengeance). The Hardcore Championship was awesome and underrated in my book. The Pittsburgh crowd went home happy with the WWF Title around the waist of Kurt Angle!

Summary: Aftermath of Summerslam
Review: Fatal Four-Way Match for the WWF Tag Team Titles
Dudley Boyz vs. Hardy Boyz vs. Hurricane & Lance Storm vs. Big Show & Spike Dudley
Pretty entertaining and fast paced match. You get exactly what you'd expect from a match like this.

Perry Saturn vs. Raven
very, very boring. No one cared.

Intercontinental Championship
Edge vs. Christian
These two were starting to come into their own as singles wrestlers at this point. Pretty good match. Even better now when you see how far they've come since.

WCW Tag Team Championship
Undertaker & Kane vs. Kronik
First and last appearance by Kronik. Not as bad as advertised but definitely a bit slow in the middle.

Hardcore Championship
Rob Van Dam vs. Chris Jericho
Excellent match. Y2J was a bit out of his element but he pulled it off nicely. Some surprises and of course some great action make this the match of the night.

Handicap Match for the WCW Championship
The Rock vs. Booker T & Shane McMahon
Much better than it looks on paper. Pretty entertaining match.

United States Championship
Tajiri vs. Rhyno
Pretty much a squash.

WWF Championship
Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Kurt Angle
Not nearly as good as Summerslam but still a decent enough main event. It gets a little boost from being in Pittsburgh AND after 9/11. All-American Kurt deserved his moment of glory.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: All are Unforgiven!!!!!
Review: Here's My Review . . . Out of 5 Stars

Fatal 4-Way Elimination WWE Tag Team Championship Match
Dudley Boyz vs. Hardy Boyz vs. Spike Dudley and the Big Show vs. Lance Storm and the Hurricane

Sweet, Sweet Fast Paced Opener!!!!! Amazing High Flying by Matt, Jeff, and Spike and almost by Big Show. Hurricane was just goofy trying to Chokeslam Big Show! Even though the Dudleyz retain their titles, the battle was pretty damn exciting! *****

Perry Saturn vs. Raven w/Terri

DUD!!!!! *

WWE Intercontinental Championship
Edge vs. Christian

Pretty Intense Battle!!!!! Could have been a little more exciting but none-the-less pretty cool match. ****1/2

WCW Tag Team Championship
Undertaker and Kane vs. Kronik w/Steven Richards

This was a dream tag team explosion!!!!! At first the battle went pretty damn slow but towards the end it got pretty damn exciting. Taker takes out the trash when he Chokeslams Bryan Clark to retain the gold. Great Chokeslam executed by Kane towards old white socks Richards! ***1/2

WWE Hardcore Championship
Rob Van Dam vs. Chris Jericho

When this PPV occured, I was a major Jerichoholic and at the same time was a fan of RVD. This was probably the best match of the night! Y2J took some bad bumps including getting Drop ToeHolded into the steel ladder. The sweet spots were the Walls of Jericho on the ladder and the Van Daminator!!!! Pretty Damn Intense! *****

WCW Championship Handicap Match
The Rock vs. Booker T and Shane McMahon

Just as exciting as their SummerSlam Main Event!!!!! It was pretty cool to see Mike Chioda knockout Nick Patrick! Rock "Brings It!" to Booker and Shane and retains by countering the Book End into a Rock Bottom *****

WCW U.S. Championship
Tajiri w/Torrie Wilson vs. Rhyno

This match actually surprised me. Both warriors gave a excellent performance despite Tajiri's injured ribs! Even though this should have come before the WCW Tag Team Championship, it was surprising! Rhyno wins the championship after Goring Tajiri. ****

WWE Championship
Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Kurt Angle

Just as intense as SummerSlam! W/ an injured neck, Kurt fought through the biggest obstacle of his career and slapped on the Ankle Lock to become 2x WWE Champion!!!!! ******

Summary: good ppv!
Review: i bought this ppv a couple weeks ago expecting it to be just okay. but i found it was great! so buyit now

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This PPV will be definitely Unforgiven
Review: I just purchased WWF Unforgiven and I have to say that the whole event was a huge letdown. Coming off what I believe was one of the greatest Summerslams in history, I thought that Unforgiven would be just as entertaining. I was sadly mistaken.

1. WWF Tag Team Championship Elimination Match-Big Show & Spike Dudley vs. Hardy Boyz vs. Lance Storm & The Hurricane vs. Dudley Boyz: This match was OK, however it seemed a bit long for the first match on the card-***

2. Perry Saturn vs. Raven w/Terri-How in the world is this match after a tag team title match? This feud didn't even begin until a week before the PPV. I won't give out the endings to any of the matches, but this match was lame-*

3. WWF Intercontinental Championship-Edge vs. Christian-This match wasn't bad, but then again wasn't good either. This match had some high spots but nothing really to write home about. The ending was very tame-**1/2

4. WCW Tag Team Championship-Undertaker & Kane vs. Kronik-You don't get any bad than this. This is when the crowd started to die down and I can't say that I blame them. The wrestling in this match was HORRIBLE, and the bump-taking was mediocre. No wonder the WWF asked Kronik to be in a developmental league a day after the PPV-No stars

5. WCW Championship Handicap Match-Rock vs. Shane & Booker T.-Another ho hum Rock match. This match was pathetic. From what we've all seen Shane do from previous PPV's, we know that he is capable of being more productive than his performance at this event. He was almost non-existent this entire match. Basically, another Booker T vs. Rock match.-*1/2

6. WWF Hardcore Match-Rob Van Dam vs. Chris Jericho-This match started off slow, but got a little entertaining near the end. A nice effort from both superstars. Pretty good ending-***1/2

7. WCW United States Championship-Tajiri vs. Rhyno-As quick as this match was, this could possibly have been one of the best matches on the card. Most definitely a sleeper match. Little hype before the PPV, but the confrontation between the two was very entertaining-***

8. WWF Championship Match-Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Kurt Angle-This match was the culmination of all of the embarrassments and animosity that the two felt for one another over the weeks. Angle controlled a lot of the match, but then again, this PPV was in Pittsburgh. Decent match, the ending was quick and lame. Very controversial.-**1/2

All in all, this PPV was by far the worst of 2001. If you want to watch horrible bump-taking and crappy endings, than you will really enjoy this PPV. Or if you just want to purchase it to see one particular match. I would suggest renting it. Otherwise, my advice would be to stay away from this PPV.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Raw Was Better the Next Night!
Review: I ordered the Pay-Per-View because I, like a bunch of other people, thought that it was going to be the best of the year. I, however, was sadly mistaken. Being a long time fan of professional wrestling, I have never been so let down. There was not one memorable match the entire evening. Edge and Christian, who are usually wonderful entertainers, were completely off the mark. The worst of all though had to be Shane McMahon and Booker T vs. the Rock. I don't like The Rock to begin with but in this match he reached a new low. This PPV was the worst I've ever had the displeasure of experiencing. All performers were absolutely awful! Don't waste money on this DVD! Even if it were offered to you for free, take it and throw it in the trash! I sincerely hope that I am never subjected to this kind of wrestling again! I am sorry to say that the World Wrestling Federation made awful decisions when deciding what matches to include on the card. DO NOT BUY THIS DVD!!!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: WWF Unforgiven 2001-Decent Event, HORRIBLE DVD
Review: I ordered WWF Unforgiven for the simple reason that I had some cash to blow, I picked the wrong WWF DVD that's for sure. The overall show was okay, but nothing spectacular. Here are how the matches rate:

*****-Excellent ****-Good ***-Average **-Okay *-poor DUD-Horrible

WWF Tag Team Title 4-way elimination match-Dudleyz(c) vs. the Hardyz vs. The Hurricane and Lance Storm vs. Big Show and Spike Dudley ****: Great match with alot of excitment, good opener.

Raven w/Terri vs. Saturn *1/2: Okay match, would have been better on Heat though.

Intercontinental Title Match:Edge(c) vs. Christian ****1/2- Awsome match, one of my favorite matches ever, it was a classic in my view, a great intense match.

WCW Tag Team Title Match-Undertaker and Kane(c) vs. KroniK w/Steven Richards DUD!: This match was HORRIBLE, half the moves didn't even make contact and it was slow and boring by two teams that need to go to wrestling training camp. HORRIBLE, worse then Undertaker and Kane's match at SummerSlam.

WWF Hardcore Title Match-Rob Van Dam(c) vs. Chris Jericho ***: Really good match, maybe not as good as RVD vs. Jeff Hardy at SummerSlam, but still good, took a while to get started though.

WCW Championship Match-The Rock(c) vs. Booker T and Shane McMahon ***: Pretty good match, I thought the match at SummerSlam was a little better but still entertaining.

WCW U.S. Title Match-Tajiri(c) vs. Rhyno **:Decent, but short. I think the U.S. Championship is a pretty pointless title too which makes it even worse.

WWF Championship Match: Stone Cold Steve Austin(c) vs. Kurt Angle ****1/2: Good match, kind of long and one sided but a few good spots in there. I don't like the whole Angle/Austin fued because to tell you the truth I think these 2 make for a boring match, but this one was good. Very emotional ending, J.R. had some great commentary. Best part of the match was when Austin flipped of Angle's family, that was hilarious. Overall good match.


-----------------------------------

Overall it was a decent show, but if you had to pick a WWF DVD, don't pick this one. The DVD is absolutley TERRIBLE, NO Extras and mine didn't come with a booklet inside, that may have been a mistake but I don't know. The show was okay but this is not a DVD that you want to watch over and over...
