Movie Reviews of WWE Unforgiven 2003
Movie Review: WWE UNFORGIVEN DOESN'T DISSAPOINT
Summary: 4 Stars
I was at the show in Hershey and still won't be biased and say five stars just because I was there. The truth is it was great, with a couple of downfalls: Dudley Boyz/La Resistance: Very entertaining and fast paced tables match. Nice to have the energy level kick high in the first match.
Steiner/Test-for Stacy and Steiner's services: Okay match all things considered. But in MY Opinion it is getting old and time for the rivalry to shift in another direction somehow. I mean it feels like we have seen them every week at odds since Judgement Day back in MAY!
HBK/Orton: Slow in the early going and just builds excitement as it goes on as do most HBK matches. Had the potential to be great all around but again, the ending is all too familiar with how Evolution can't seem to get a win without interference from one another.
DIVA's tag team match: Not bad. Exciting to see Lita back in action and despite a bloody mouth from the start for Lita; she did a great job trying to follow her gameplan and execute a fairly entertaining match.
Last mand standing: Kane/Shan-o-Mac: Best match of the night, I thought! For the record the top of the titantron which Shane jumped from was right in front of me and only about 20 feet (I asked the wwe rigger on site) above the announce platform Shane landed on. So what, 20 feet or 50 feet, I would never have the guts to do that!! Lots of sickening chair shots, and creative moves by Shane to make this an edge of your seat match! Excellent
Announcers match: Just awful! Sorry.
Tag Team match: RVD/Jericho/Christian: Not bad at all, but expected more from these three great athletes.
Main event: Triple H/Goldberg: Excellent and appropriate way to end the night. I mean what can be said with what was at stake. You knew this one would leave people breathless with the result being either Triple H finally loses the belt or Goldberg leaves wrestling.
Very entertaining night and very good variety in match types and styles make this a DVD to own for sure. Even the announcer's match was entertaining for a change of pace, despite the wrestling quality being two thumbs down. Buy this for sure. Thanks, Frank.
Movie Review: UNFORGIVEN LIVES UP TO THE HYPE!
Summary: 4 Stars
WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIPTRIPLE H (CHAMPION) VS. GOLDBERG
A battle of the ages between a seven time world champion and the most intense animalistic wrestler in sports entertainment history,a lot of hardcore Goldberg fans expected Triple H to fall short very quickly however the game put up one hell of a fight and pushed Goldberg to his absolute limits. But it was to be Goldberg's night and in the end Triple H couldn't hold on to his World Heavyweight Championship
KANE VS. SHANE McMAHON (LAST MAN STANDING MATCH)
A very intense,hardcore battle between a disfigured,330 pound out of control man beast and a fearless,punch bag. Kane get's the hard faught victory in the end
RANDY ORTON VS SHAWN MICHAELS
This match had been building up for a long time and these two men exploded on eachother with the self proclaimed "Legend killer" earning a huge victory for himself
AL SNOW & JONATHAN COACHMAN VS. JERRY LlAWLER & JIM ROSS
A very important match as the raw commentary team could change forever depending on the outcome of this encounter. The match itself was drab and was sleep inducing to watch. Al Snow & Coach shockingly get the win and become the new Raw commentary team
DUDLEYZ VS. LA RESISTANCE & ROB CONWAY (SIX MAN ELIMINATION TABLES MATCH)
An entertaining match with the Dudleyz finally getting their long awaited retribution for the continuous sneak attacks and screw jobs wich occured during their rivalry
TEST VS. SCOTT STEINER (SCOTT STEINER AND STACY KEIBLER'S SERVICES ARE ON THE LINE)
A boring match with an obvious outcome. Test wins and gets Scott and Stacy
CHRISTIAN VS. RVD VS. Y2J (IC CHAMPIONSHIP)
A very fast paced match wich really brings the crowd to life, Christian leaves the arena with the IC title intact
LITA & TRISH STRATUS VS. HAIL KIM & MOLLY HOLLY
A decent diva's match with Trish getting her revenge on the scheming Molly Holly. It's also great to see Lita back in action
Movie Review: Triple H falls, but Goldberg rises
Summary: 4 Stars
Where do I start with this event?First match, according to some mark-ridden reviews beneath me was "Vewy good, Dudleyz deftee Las Risdftr, LOL LOL, FIVE-STAR MATCH" or something a little more...less sensical.
It was a good match, but I'd say a three-star ordeal because of the poor wrestling style of La Resistance.
Second match was the only good match between Test and Scott Stiener, their Bad Blood bout by the way was ABYSMAL and only a mark would find it in any way amusing, the finish was pretty decent and the effort form both wrestlers at least made it passable (***)
Shawn Michales vs Randy Orton was match of the night, Orton is a god and you WILL bow before his power, the finish was cheap, but very "Four Horsemen" if you used to watch NWA before it became TNA, you'll get what I'm refering to. (****)
Kane vs Shane Mcmahon, someone kill Shane Mcmahon please, he nearly made Kane look like a pansy in this match, and for those whose reviews are saying "Kane ruled", HE MOVED ASIDE TO WIN THE MATCH, MOVED ASIDE, he did'nt do ANYTHING to Shane except DUCK (***)
Chirstian vs Chris Jericho vs Rob Van Dam (***)
A Pointless, yet exciting triple threat match, look for Rob Van Dam's frog splash on Jericho and Chistian and the incredible effort from Chirstian when holding up BOTH RVD and Jericho
Al Snow and Johnathan Coachman vs J.R Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawler. (DUD)
Press Fast Forward, this is'nt a Wrestling match, it's a waste of god damn time.
World Title vs Career Match: Triple H vs Goldberg
COuld have been better, Triple H's groin injury prevented al ot of good gorund-based wrestling, plus the fact Goldnerg is an overated pile of crap did'nt help either, the proper finish came with Triple H SELLING the Jackhammer and giving Goldberg a run with the belt, even if he does'nt deserve it.
An improved card than Bad Blood, buy it
Movie Review: Solid First PPV for RAW
Summary: 4 Stars
Unforgiven 2003 was a pretty damn solid PPV for Raw... they had a lot to live up to after smackdown! put on a hell of a Vengeance show in July and a dissapointing showing for raw at Summerslam... here's my review...
WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
Triple H v. Goldberg 7/10
Not a bad match, but not really all that outstanding either.. Good to see Triple H FINALLY drop the title, but overall, I thought the match was REALLY slow.
INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP
Christian (c) v. Chris Jericho v. Rob Van Dam 7/10
Good three way match, but again, nothing will knock your socks off here. Solid match though.
Shawn Michaels v. Randy Orton 9/10
This match is excellent. The psychology between the two is great.
LAST MAN STANDING MATCH
Kane v. Shane McMahon 8/10
Solid match, and very brutal. Shane takes another MASSIVE bump at the end. Solid outing by both.
Scott Steiner v. Test 5/10
Nothing good. Nothing Great. Very eh... Finally ended the feud though...
JR and King v. Al Snow and the Coach 2/10
Awful.
Lita and Trish Stratus v. Molly Holly and Gail Kim 5/10
Pretty decent for a women's match. Fast paced action.
THe Dudley's v. La Resistance and Rob Conway 5.5/10
Solid Opener. Some funny spots..
Overall the show was solid. the HBK/ Orton match was by far, the best of the night. Nothing will knock your doors off, save for Shane's bump, but this show WILL NOT dissapoint you either. A very decent buy.
Movie Review: Game over!
Summary: 4 Stars
Unforgiven 2003
La Resistance @ Rob Conway VS Dudley Boyz in a Table Match: I remember this feud. I remeber not caring about it.
Test VS Scott Steiner: Two of the biggest a-holes in wrestling go at it. Steiner was a babyface at the time and again, I didnt care for either men or the feud.
Molly Holly @ Gail Kim VS Trish Stratus @ Lita: All four women can wrestle. Too bad I dont care for women's wrestling.
Randy Orton VS Shawn Michaels: Ah finally, a good match to watch. I hated the ending though.
Kane VS Shane O'Mac: Very good match. Lasted almost a half hour and its always fun to see Shane O'Mac in a hardcore match because you know something awesome is going happen.
Christian VS RVD VS Chris Jericho: Very good match. I didnt like the ending too much but it does suit Christian well.
Coach and Al Snow VS Jerry Lawler and JR: Dumb match. I dont remember how JR and King got the announcing dutys back but I could careless.
Triple H VS Goldberg: I hated Goldberg in WCW but liked him in WWE, probably because he beat Triple H for the title. If Goldberg lost he'd have to leave wrestling forever and you knew Goldberg was going win the title anyways. Very good match though and the ending was awesome.
Overall, it was a weak card. Raw doesnt have talent like Smackdown had at the time and you could tell with the matches presented. The first three were bad and the rest were good. Great to see Goldberg win the title.
