1. Chris Benoit & William Regal vs. Batista & Ric Flair
A decent opener, though a bit slow throughout the match. Regal looks pretty sloppy and out of place, but Benoit does his best to make up for it. An entertaining opener, but nothing spectacular. Good way to start the show though, with the right team winning. 6/10

2. WWE Women's Championship Match: Trish Stratus (c) vs. Victoria
As usual, the standard women's match. Need I say more? Skip. 4/10

3. Tyson Tomko vs. Steven Richards
This match wasn't announced to be on the card, but it was a suprise. I've had better suprises in my crap. Don't even bother, you'll only waste your time. 2/10

4. Ladder Match for the Vacant Intercontinental Championship: Chris Jericho vs. Christian
Now, the PPV finally starts to get good. This is a great ladder match between these two. They both know how to work well together, and theres a couple great spots too. Great performance by Jericho, as usual, and Christian looks good too. They use the ladder in really innovative ways too, which is very cool. Come to think of it, this is probably responsible for the Money in the Bank ladder match in a way. Overall, a great match, make sure you watch this one. 9/10

5. No Disqualification Match: Shawn Michaels vs. Kane
This is a great match between the Showstopper and Kane. I'm glad they added the No DQ stipulation, because even though they don't use it that much, it gives them a lot more freedom. Kane and HBK both work well in this match, and put on noteworthy performances. Just a good match in general, very entertaining. 8.5/10

6. World Tag Team Championship Match: La Resistance vs. Rhyno & Tajiri
A decent tag match here, everybody looks pretty solid. However, I think the wrong team wins this one. Overall, a middle of the road match that you can skip if you want to. 5.5/10

7. World Heavyweight Championship Match: Randy Orton (c) vs. Triple H
Orton's first title defense since he won the title from Benoit in an excellent match at Summerslam 2004, and he proved in this match that he deserved to be champion. Triple H looks good in this one as well, though I think he does a little too much work on Orton's leg. Other then that, good match with a lot of back and forth action. The wrong man wins this one too, but the ending is good, with one of the most violent chair shots I've ever seen, followed up by a pedigree on one. Good title match, though Orton's reign was too short. 8.5/10

Overall, Unforgiven 2004 is a pretty good PPV, with only a couple weak spots in the card. The opener is ok, but the mid/upper card is where this event starts to look good, starting with the Ladder match, and then with HBK/Kane and the WHC match.

Match of the Night: The Ladder Match: Jericho vs. Christian. Its a very entertaining match with great spots and good wrestling. Not too much to complain about here, both look good in the ring and give us a great ladder match. One of the better matches of 2004.

LIVE AT THE ROSEGARDEN: UNFORGIVEN

Being at a PPV was amazing. theres more energy and you can feel the excitement. Better then being at a raw.

1. BENOIT/REGAL VS. BATISTARIC FLAIR
This was a great opener. A strait forward wrestling match.
(8/10)

2. TRISH VS. VICTORIA
A decent and good womens match. But this match leads to something horrable
(6/10)

3. Tomco vs. steven richards
1/10 says it all.

4. ladder match
Y2J vs. CLB
Better then I thought it would be being Christian just came off a back injury. A awsome ladder match.
(10/10)

5. NO DQ
HBK VS. KANE
A 20 minute slobber knocker. HBKs return. Whats not to love
(10/10)

6. la resistance vs. ryhno/tajiri
Okay. Could have been better
(7.5/10)

7. randy vs. HHH
A really good and unpredictable match. thought randy would have retained WHT. Of course HHH cheats, again. good main event. shocked & suprised with ending
(8.5/10)

If you hate Triple H, you will not like this soon to be released DVD. His match with Randy Orton was good and had an exciting ending, something we haven't seen in a long time with the "roll-up" and submission ending fever we have been dealt with so much. Yes, Triple H becomes the nine time champion, only behind Hogan(12) and Flair (16), but I think he is a good champion and it is better to have a heal as champ so the fan favorites can try to knock him off the top. The opening Ric Flair/Batista vs Benoit and Regal was a good opener. The team of Benoit and Regal won for all you Benoit junkies. Trish and Victoria was good as usual. Tomko vs Steven Richards was a tad bit boring and should have been a 20 second squash instead of an actual match. Christian and Jericho put on a great ladder match with many giant bump spots. These two never give a bad show when together. Shawn Michaels vs Kane was awesome. No one can say Kane is not a good preformer. His match with HBK was outstanding and full of back and forth action. This is one of the best matches. Worth the money alone in my opinion. La Resistance vs Rhino and Tajiri was pretty expected and not all that great. Not a terrible match, just not that great. Really no reason to care about this match. La Resistance seems like the only "true" tag team on raw anymore, so who knows when they will finally drop the belts. Overall, I liked this ppv. I am not a Benoit fan, and I was glad to see a new champ crowned on the last two ppv's. I think it was good to shake things up and get the fans into something different for the next interactive ppv, Taboo Tuesday, Oct 19, 2004. If you are a hard core wrestling fan, then I don't see why WWE Unforgiven 2004 won't please you. You may not like some of the outcomes, but the show was a great raw brand ppv.

Hello all if you have been reading this reviews of other people their saying that this is a decent PPV how wrong! This PPV is great!!!!!

Chris Benoit & William Regal vs. Ric Flair & Batista. This is a great and I mean GREAT opener. I thought Flair & Batista would win but Benoit and Regal win after Flair tapped out to the Crossface. 9.5/10

Trish Stratus vs. Victoria for the Women's Championship. I believe this was a bad match. Trish & Victoria are the 2 best women wrestlers in the business today and they proved it in this match. Trish retains and this sets up the next match. 4.5/10

Tyson Tomko vs. Steven Richards. This was such filler it is not even funny. But the match was hilarious with Richards "doing things" to Tomko's body parts. Anyways, Tomko picks up the win. 3/10

Chris Jericho vs. Christian in a Ladder Match for the Intercontinental Championship. Okay it's a Ladder Match with Y2J there's your 10 right there but to make it better Christian puts on a good performance. This was a great match and maybe the best of 2004 that I can remember. 10/10

Shawn Michaels vs. Kane in a No Disqualification Match. Another great bloody battle. The best part is that it's the return of HBK. Kane chokeslammes HBK through the announce table!!!!! In the end HBK wins with Sweet Chin Music. The Best Match of the Night!!! 10/10

La Resistance vs. Rhyno & Tajiri for the World Tag Team Championships. You call this a Tag Match!!!! The first Tag Match is 2 times better then this. Garbage ending as well. La Resistance wins enough said. 4.5/10

Randy Orton vs. Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship. Pretty good Main Event but it's the 3rd best Match of the Night because of the Y2J vs. CLB & HBK vs. Kane matches. Horrible ending with Orton beating everybody up then walking into a Pedigree. 9/10

Overall this could be the best single brand PPV EVER!!!! No joking. Buy this NOW!!!!!!!!!!

When you say Benoit won the title at Wrestlemania, you forgot to mention that fact that he kicked HHH's and HBK's a**es the month after that! And to the guy who calls himself the Orton Believer and the other guy whos too scared to tell us he's a Benoit believer all along, keep in mind that when HBk had his arm over Benoit in the battle in the desert, in Pheonix Arizona, the ref never moved as HHH attacked shawn michales. He never even got close to even counting ONE slap of the mat, so to say that HBK had the match won one hundred percent is completely stupid.

As for the matches on the Unforgiven card, the ladder match was great, but some chairs could have been used, and maybe even a table to make it a dream match come true. But it was still good.

Kand and HBK put on a good show, but like the match between Kane and Matt Hardy at Vengeance, this No DQ match lacked a little in the weapons area. Still, its always cool to see Lita liven up the ringside area, I'm a big fan of hers, and she played a great role in keeping the crowd into this match.

The world title match was bad, but I'm sure Evolution fans will enjoy the fact that their leader cheated to win AGAIN! Nine time champ, come on, are we really going to have HHH and Ric Flair to look up to when It comes to the most championships ever? At least Hulk Hogan has the second place with twelve, but at the rate HHH has been going the last two years, it wont be for long.

This was okay, and the Benoit/HBk debate has gotten some good points for both sides, but we on the Benoit side know that the HBK side is good, but not good enough. The rest of the matches are okay, except for the K-rappy match between Tyson Tomko and Steven Richards. Horrible, horrible, horrible.

Matches Made
1.World Heavyweight Championship: After the History of this match, this one should be intense, Orton is awesome as champ and needs more time to prove himself which is why he will win. After the rumors of the Evolution split something is going to backfire on H maybe?!

2.World Tag Team Championship: Rhyno & Tajiri vs. La Resistance (Robert Conway & Sylvain Greiner)(c)
I think Rhyno & Tajiri have rightfully deserved this title shot and are the only REAL team on Raw because im sick of seing Hurricane & Rosey vs. La Resistance all the time, but the French duo might sneak away with this one and keep thier fabulous reign.

3.Kane vs. Shawn Michaels Street Fight
This storyline is going nowhere and should just end soon. But beside the storyline this match should be awesome. I think Kane is going to win on behalf of Lita, maybe even a Lita heel turn who knows?

4.William Regal & Chris Benoit & Batista & Ric Flair
I have no idea why this match was made. Regal & Flair fought on RAW and then it was made into a tag match go figure. I hope this is a solid match and hopefully it wont be 6 minutes long. These four men have talent. Its been a while since they had a main eventers in a tag match. Ric Flair loses all his matches, and Benoit went from winning the World Title at Wrestlemania to teaming with a guy who came back from a serious injury, who comes back and manages a retard and then turns on him, then all of a sudden becomes his best friend. Evolution has been dominating RAW and Benoit & Regal want to prove that ther better, i guess.

5.Women's Championship
Trish Stratus(c) vs. Victoria
Both these Divas have really good matches Hopefully that Mystery Woman (Steven Richards) wont ruin the match completely. I Think Trish has this one.

6.Ladder Match for the Vacant Intercontinental Title: Chris Jericho vs. Christian

I have never seen a ladder match with one nights build up, This match was made on the RAW before Unforgiven. Also now the people eligible for the IC title are getting very, very rare. RAW needs more competitors and more air time. They will probably add a pointless match on HEAT to make seven, yeah seven matches. I think Christian will somehow win this one.




Why does everyone on here predict these crazy TLC,Hell in a Cell etc. The previous guy said "Ghost" and "Rhino" Matches wow what a loser man. You know nothing about wrestling do you? Yeah its fake so what its entertaining i could say everything you like sucks and is retarded but then you would probably be offended right. How would you feel if i wrote for the 2005 World Series was "Babe Ruth's team vs. Jackie Robinsons team in a return from the dead match with Rhinos in the outfield you'd probably get mad wouldnt you?

Everyone says this was a bad pay-per-view. I thought it was great...

1)Batista & Flair vs. Benoit & Regal- very good opener. Batista is awesome. He lifted Benoit out of the cross face on Ric. 5/5

2)Trish vs. Victoria- A pretty good women's match. I didn't like the ending though. 4/5

3)Tomko vs. Steven Richards- What the heck is this! Worst of the night right here folks. Skip this!!!!!! 0/5

4)CLB vs. Y2J- Great match. I like ladder matches and this one did not dissapoint. 5/5

5)HBK vs. Kane- I thought this match was awesome. I like Kane and seeing him face HBK was great. I wanted a rematch between the two but never got one. Bummer. 5/5

6)La Resistance vs. Tajiri & Rhyno- I can't stand La Resistance. That's the reason I don't like this match. Get some new tag teams or throw away the belts. 1/5

7)HHH vs. RKO- Great main event. I didn't know who to cheer for. I like Randy Orton and Triple H. Total screw job in the end though. 5/5

Overall a great pay-per-view. I really liked it.

1.Beniot&Regal v.s. Batista&Flair
Chris and Regal win when Benoit made Ric tap out.
2.Women's Championship
Trish Stratus v.s. Victoria
Victoria almost won but then Tomko distracted Victoria and then when she turned around Trish did a Stratusfaction and she got the pin.
3.Tyson Tomko v.s. Steven Richards
it wasn't actually a match Tyson called out Richards because he
was the mystery women so Tomko won.
4.Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match
Chris Jericho v.s. Christain
Jericho won the match but my favorite part was when Y2J did a Walls of Jericho on Christain right on top of the ladder.
5.No Disqualification Match
Kane v.s. Shawn Michaels
Great match between these two.HBK won the match with a Sweet Chin Music.
6.World Tag Team Championship
La Rasistance v.s. Rhyno & Tajiri
This match sucks.It would have been better if Rhyno and Tajiri won the match but then Robert Conway hits Rhyno with the flag to get the win.
7.World Heavyweight Championship
Randy Orton v.s. Triple H
Orton almost won the match but then Evolution comes out but Orton takes care of them but then the ref is knocked out then when Orton turned around HHH hit him with a steel chair then Triple H did a pedigree on top of the steel chair so HHH becomes World Champ for the 9th time.

WWE Unforgiven 2004 was a good ppv but I think there were only two matches that even cracked the 9/10 rating. The main event was decent and the ladder and no dq matches were very good.

1. Chris Benoit and William Regal vs. Ric Flair and Batista: Good opener. Glad Evolution lost. Benoit makes the match good. Lots of chops and submissions by Benoit and Flair. 8.5/10

2. Womens Championship: Trish Stratus vs. Victoria: (Snore, Snore, Snore) What did I miss? Oh, just a womens match. 4/10

3. Tyson Tomko vs. The Mystery Woman(Steven Richards) Oh come on! Put Steven Richards in granny panties and have im get his ass kicked? Even worse then the womens match. There is a funny part though when Richards does his own version of "The Claw" right on Tomkos...you know! Horrible match. 2/10

4. Ladder Match for the Vacant Intercontental Championship: Chris Jericho vs. Christian: Of course, it was a ladder match, so we all knew it was gonna be good. Somewhat of a letdown. Not to much falls of the ladders. Unlike past ladder matches, instead of having just one ladder in the entrance, they also had about ten surronding the ring. However, only two of them came into play so that was another huge bummer. Both took some shots with the ladders but not much falls off of the ladders. Still, compared to normal matches, a great match and compared to Unforgiven so far, a classic (lol)9.5/10

5. No DQ: Shawn Michaels vs. Kane: Another great match. Michaels gets chokeslammed through the announce table, he bleeds, several finsihers, but it still lacked something I can't put my finger on. Oh well. Great match. 9.5/10

6. World Tag Team Championship: La Resistance vs. Rhyno and Tajiri: A pretty decent match. Used to come the crowd down before the main event after two great matches. La Resistance retains (dangit) 7.5/10

7. World Heavyweight Championship: Randy Orton vs. Triple H: A good match. About the same thing as Benoit vs. Triple H from Vengeance. (About) I don't believe Triple H wins the title AGAIN! I used to like him even when he was a bad guy back in about 2001 but now he's WAY overused by wwe. They should give him some time off after Wrestlemania to freshen him up. I'm also a big Orton fan so it was a bummer to see his first reign last only one month. Wrong winner, and interference brings it down. Still, a good match. 8.5/10

Theres also a ppv recap at the end like Wrestlemania, but this one was much shorter. Saliva's "Survival of The Sickest" plays in the backround.

The answer - Benoit all the way! Now I know all you HBK fans hate this review allready, but please keep in mind that the year 2004 will now beforever known as the year of Chris Benoit. He won the rumble, then won the title in march, then kept the title for five months after; beating guys like HHH, HBK, Kane, and even Eugene to prove my point.

Also he hade a great DvD come out in July, so to all you Benoit fans, I hope you will agree with me in saying, BENOIT IS 4 REAL!!

Now I dont hate HBK, but please, to all you guys who say HBK is the greatest of all time, we know he is, he will be a hall of famer one day, so for once just shut up for a few days at least.

As for the matches, they were great except for the title match and the god awful match between tomko and richards. I had to turn off my tv when i saw this.

So all in all, if this has good extras, then I reccommand this, but to Orton fans, be warned, you will not see a happy ending.

P.S.

I am hoping to see a Benoit/HBK match in the near future, and guess who I am rooting for?
