Summary: 3 Stars
2007 Unforgiven
September 16, 2007
FedEx Forum
Memphis, Tennessee
ECW Championship:
CM Punk (Champion) V. Elijah Burke
good match, not as good as their Judgment Day match. Nothing too special in this one. Punk retains. **1/2
WWE Tag Team Championship:
Matt Hardy & MVP (Champions) V. Deuce N' Domino
More of a can you top this between MVP & Hardy than a wrestling match. It actually made DND look bad. They are bad, but it made them look worse. It was good to watch, but that's about it. **1/2
No Disqualification Match for Carlito Only:
Triple H V. Carlito
Damn idea for a match. It would have been better if it was No DQ for all. It still was a good match, but it could have been alot better. Triple H wins of course. ***1/4
WWE Women's Championship:
Candice Michelle (Champion) V. Beth Phoenix
Better than what I thought it would be. Again, nothing really noteworthly with Candice retaining. *3/4
Triple Threat Match for the World Heavyweight Championship:
Great Khali (Champion) V. Batista V. Rey Mysterio
Actually a hell of alot better than what I would have thought. Mysterio made it watchable and some good storytelling it in. Again, nothing to make this match really stand out, but still good. Batista regains the title. ***
World Tag Team Championship:
Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch (Champions) V. Paul London & Brian Kendrick
Good match, but again, nothing to special in it. Just you normal tag match with the champs retaining. **3/4
WWE Championship:
John Cena (Champion) V. Randy Orton
Abother good match with the same theme. Nothing special. It was a brawl from start to finish, the ending was extremely dumb, but it had to set up the Last Man Standing Match. Orton wins by DQ. ***1/4
Undertaker V. Mark Henry
good match, but yet again, nothing special. take comes back and beats Henry. **1/2
Overall, nothing special. rent before buy, unless you are like me and want ever PPV.
Movie Review: Not bad, but could have been better
Summary: 3 Stars
Unforgiven 2007 wasn't a bad PPV per say, it just wasn't as exciting as previous 07 PPVs.
A bad idea of this PPV was to have a non title match as the main event. Yes I know Undertaker returned from his injury but so did Triple H and Rey Mysterio at Summerslam and they didn't get the main event. Although, with the way the WWE Title match turned out, maybe it was a good idea after all.
Another strange factor was that every single match was under 12 minutes long, with the longest match being the opener at 11:52. This is pretty bad for a PPV. Rundown:
ECW Championship Match: CM Punk (champion) vs Elijah Burke
This was the longest match on the card, and also the opener. I also forgot Elijah Burke even had a title shot back then. But this was a decent match, with lots of good moves and it shows both men can wrestle. A decent match. (3.5/5)
WWE Tag Team Championship Match: Matt Hardy and MVP (champions) vs Deuce & Domino (w/ Cherry)
The whole selling point of this one was to see Matt & MVP's chemistry and how they worked together. At times this match was rather funny with Matt and MVP trying to outdo one another. Very entertaining and the right people won too. (4/5)
No Disqualification Match for Carlito only: Triple H vs Carlito
Another very entertaining match with only Carlito gaining the No DQ stipulation, he could use any weapons he wanted while Triple H wasn't allowed to. But this meant Triple H had to be sneaky with his weapon use. This made for a very funny match, seeing how Triple H managed to get away with cheating. An amusing match and one of the better ones of the night. (4/5)
WWE Women's Championship Match: Candice Michelle (champion) vs Beth Phoenix
Beth dominated this match which Candice won with a fluke pin. But Candice has improved so much and did manage to hold her own against her much larger opponent. This match continued their storyline and made both women look strong with Candice keeping the title and Beth being pinned out of the blue. (3.5/5)
Triple Threat Match for the World Heavyweight Championship: The Great Khali (champion) (w/ Ranjin Singh) vs Batista vs Rey Mysterio
This match was a waste of time for Rey mostly as he was vastly outmatched by Khali and Batista, he hardly got any offence in. The match was all over the place and the only good thing to come out of this match was that Khali lost the title. (2/5)
World Tag Team Championship Match: Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch vs Paul London & Brian Kendrick
I love any match with London & Kendrick in it, since they're immensely talented and it was great to see them in a title match since being drafted to Raw. This match was pretty good too, tag team wrestling is underrated, as this was a gem of a match. Loads of great moves, good teamwork, a good ending. Above average match. (4/5)
WWE Championship Match: John Cena (champion) vs Randy Orton
As much as I love John, this match was rubbish. It was one of the shortest matches on the card and didn't live up to the hype. It was nothing like their awesome Summerslam match. It was just to further the storyline with John's father. John got DQed after 7 minutes, then let his Dad kick Randy in the head. (2/5)
Return Match: The Undertaker vs Mark Henry
This was a bad main event. They could have found somebody WAY better for Undertaker to wrestle in his return match. Mark Henry? Are you joking? That man is a horrible wrestler. It was great to see Taker back, but this match was bad. Taker's entrance was longer then the match... (2/5)
Overall, this PPV wasn't too bad, it just had a few too many lacklustre matches and most of the matches were too short.
Movie Review: 3.5 STARS
Summary: 4 Stars
Tonight The Undertaker returns and he will show no mercy.
ECW Championship match
Eligah Burke vs CM Punk
I really liked this match. The both of them started out slow in the beginning. It really picked up towards the middle. It ended out of nowhere but this was still a good match.
6.5/10
WWE Tag Team championship match
MVP & Matt Hardy vs Duece & Domino
This was an okay match. It really felt like a match that would happen on smackdown but hey. Both MVP and Hardy trie to showoff to each other through out the match. The both of them made this match watchable and plus I like MVP so this was alright. 6/10
Triple H vs Carlito
This match was a no dq match only for Carlito witch made it interesting. This was done pretty nice. It wasn't like a street fight match at cyber Sunday but good. Carlito was hitting Triple H with a lot of trash cans and lids. I wished it would have been a little more hardcore but still good. 8/10
WWE Women championship match
Beth Phenoix vs Candice Michelle
Beth has been on raw only for a little while and she gets her shot at the gold. Again this was an okay match. It didn't really look like a squash match here. Candice showed off some moves while Beth dominates the match. Good match. 6/10
Triple Threat match
World Heavyweight match
Batista vs Rey Misteio vs The Great Khali
Khali dominated most of the match. Batista did his usual things while Rey looked kind of helpless. You know it picked up towards the end witch was a nice ending. Even though the only part was good was the ending but it was still preety good. The crowd went crazy when Batista won. 8/10
World Tag Team Championship match
Paul London and Brian Kendrick vs. Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch
The crowd for some reason was quiet. I thought it was preety average. London and Kendrick showed why they were the longest WWE tag team champions because the both of them were good. 7/10
WWE championship match
John Cena vs Randy Orton
Boy was this horrible. I was really mad about this. It wasn't wrestling, it was more like "I'm going to get you Randy, I'm going to make you pay" thing. Horrible. 4/10
Mark Henry vs The Undertaker
The Undertaker makes yet another cool entrance. It was really slow but it was okay since it was takers first match back. So it was cool. 7/10
This ppv was okay but I was dis appointed with the WWE championship match.
Movie Review: THE DEADMAN RETURNS As John Cena Exits!
Summary: 3 Stars
ECW Champion CM Punk vs. Elijah Burke - You already knew how this match was going to do once you see that they didn't even bother to show Elijah's entrance. Anyways, this match surpassed their Judgment Day match in that it wasn't too slow that it got boring with the mat wrestling between each other. A good opener but don't blink or else you'll miss the ending.
WWE Tag Team Champions MVP & Matt Hardy vs. Deuce & Domino - This was one of those "put a storyline over" matches in that Hardy & MVP trying to show up each other thoughout the bout by doing blind tags, doing each other's moves & taunts better, and Hardy pulling the same actions on MVP that he did when they won the tag titles. Taking the match for what it was intended to be, it was entertaining.
Triple H vs. Carlito - The stipulation for this one is that Carlito couldn't be disqualified. This match was entertaining by the fact that Triple H doing Eddie Guerrero-like cheating behind the referee's back such as pulling the hair & ropes during an abdonimal stretch while Carlito kept getting the advantage by using weapons like the ring bell & trash cans. Just like the previous match, it was more about being entertaining than wrestling...which it was.
Womens Champion Candice Michelle vs. Beth Phoenix - This match was about Beth completely overpowering & dominating Candice thoughout the match and even yanking out Candice's hair at various times. Candice scored the quick fluke pin.
World Champion Great Khali vs. Batista vs. Rey Mysterio - The only part of this match that was worth watching is the finishing sequence where Rey did two sets of 619's on both guys followed by a springboard onto Khali before Batista powerbombed Rey onto Khali & hitting Khali with a spinebuster & winning the title. Skip the match and watch the instant replay afterwards, that's the watchable part of this match.
World Tag Team Champions Lance Cade & Trevor Murdock vs. Brian Kendrick & Paul London - Good tag team match here between these four. London & Kendrick didn't tone down or lose a step since coming to RAW as they showcased their daredevil style while Cade & Murdock show why they brought back as much credibility as they can back to the tag team title scene on RAW in the previous month with their brawling & mat based offense. This was my favorite match of the night.
WWE Champion John Cena vs. Randy Orton - This was one of those "put a storyline over" segments because the match ended by DQ after seven minutes when Cena just wouldn't stop beating down Orton & moved (he didn't shove the referee or barely even touched him) the referee twice. That match was good for what it was in that seven minutes but it was a crappy ending.
Ironically, this was Cena's last PPV match for months as he got injured right before the next PPV.
Undertaker vs. Mark Henry - Boy, Taker knows how to go all out on his entrances. The match itself wasn't much as it was just the image of Taker pulling off his moves against such a huge man like Henry that was the sight here. This doesn't pass their WrestleMania 22 match but the match is watchable but nothing special past Taker returning.
The only DVD extra worth mentioning is that you see Taker's exit where he's lowered back down at the front of the entrance way.
Overall, this is a DVD worthy of a rental as eventhough the main events were duds...the undercard ranged from good wrestling (World Tag Team Titles & ECW Title) to funny & entertaining (Triple H/Carlito & WWE Tag Team Titles). I would recommend this for a rental.
Movie Review: Undertaker returns! But against Mark Henry?
Summary: 3 Stars
Unforgiven wasn't a great ppv but it was far from bad. Undertaker returned and had a pretty lame match. But its not his fault. Mark Henry just isn't good.
ECW Championship Match
CM Punk vs. Elijah Burke
Wow the ECW title match as the opener? I think its wrong to do that but oh well. A very good opener. And better than the two title matches after it. A very good wrestling match between these two. Mat base grappling with some submission holds. The ending came out of nowhere but I have no complaints about it at all. These guys are getting better at their work. 4/5
WWE Tag Team Titles
Matt Hardy & MVP vs. Deuce & Domino
This match was putting over a storyline for the most part. Matt & MVP competing against each other with the possiblilty of self-destructing. A pretty fun and entertaining match. More entertainment than wrestling. Nothing really special here. 3/5
NO DQ Match for Carlito only
Triple H vs. Carlito
A pretty funny match with a funny stipulation. Carlito can do whatever he wants in this match. Triple H has to be sneaky about it. A couple of funny spots. Again more towards entertainment than wrestling. Some weapon use but nothing over the top. 3/5
WWE Women's Title Match
Candice Michelle vs. Beth Phoenix
Another match putting over an inring story. Candice basically trying to overcome Beth Phoenix's overwhelming strength. This match was onesided for the most part. Beth did a good job looking unstoppable but she still needs to get better. And the more I see Candice Michelle's in ring skills improving is the more I like her. A decent match for the most part. 3/5
Triple Threat Match for the World Heavyweight Title
Great Khali vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Batista
The only good part about this match was the ending. Khali did his unstoppable routine against both guys. My problem with this match mainly is Rey had no business in it to me. It just didn't seem believeable in the slightest. And Batista did a horrible job selling Rey's attacks. I really didn't care for this match too much. The only saving grace was the ending. 2.9/5
World Tag Team Titles
Brian Kendrick & Paul London vs. Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch
For some reason the crowd wasn't into this match. And this is possibly match of the night. Great chemistry between these two teams. Lots of teamwork, mat wrestling, fast paced, a pretty good ending. The match was pretty much above average. 4/5
WWE Championship Title
John Cena vs. Randy Orton
This match sucks compared to their Summerslam match. This match was basically an in ring story as well. Cena bent on revenge for Randy attacking his father. Lots of brawling and barely any wrestling or entertainment at all. And the ending coupled with the length of the match almost spelled disaster. I really didn't like this match or the aftermath. 2/5
Return of the Undertaker
Undertaker vs. Mark Henry
I remember all of Taker's return matches and this is by far the worst to me. Very slow even for a big man match. But what more can be expected from Henry besides a bunch of splashes? The ending was also very predictable. 2.5/5
The ppv had some decent matches in the middle and beginning. Its a good thing I don't expect too much from wwe anymore. This isn't a bad ppv at all. But it doesn't compare to the Great American Bash or Backlash. I still recommend it because of the good matches pointed out. The Good outweights the bad in my opinion.
