4.0 out of 5 stars A Memorable Evening In Pittsburgh, PA!, July 20, 2006

This review is from: WWF: Unforgiven 2001 (DVD)

It's official - 2001 is simply one of the best years in WWF/WWE history, and UNFORGIVEN is another reason as to why. This is a PPV card that is a lot stronger than it looks!

1) Elimination Match - WWF Tag Team Championships
The Hardy Boyz v. The Hurricane (WWF European champion) & Lance Storm
v. Big Show & Spike Dudley v. The Dudley Boyz (WWF Tag Team champions)
---This was an exciting Elimination contest with neat spots, good wrestling, and a wild Pennsylvania crowd. The Dudleyz and The Hardyz always put on good matches, and the other two teams were in fine form. A perfect example of how the "Invasion" angle brought new talent and energy to the WWF.
"8.0 / 10"

2) Raven v. Perry Saturn
---The only non-title match on the card featured Saturn looking for "Moppy", with Raven as the culprit. Confused? Don't worry, you'll understand from the PPV. The crowd hated this match, but I think Saturn and Raven worked really hard considering this storyline had no respect from anybody (I thought it was pretty funny). Much better than the trainwreck everyone makes it out to be.
"5.0 / 10"
_______________________________________________

3) WWF Intercontinental Championship
Christian v. Edge (champion)
---In their first-ever one-on-one bout (to my knowledge), both men were still WWF wrestlers at the time, which was unusual for the "Invasion" PPVs. This was yet another solid contest with plenty of near-falls and unique exchanges. Also noteworthy is that both Christian and Edge were as good in singles competition as they were tag team wrestlers. One of the few tag team breakups that helped both superstars. The Ladder Match that took place a month later is the one everybody remembers (rightfully so), but this is an incredible match worth checking out.
"8.0 / 10"
_______________________________________________

4) WCW Tag Team Championships
Kronik v. The Undertaker & Kane (champions)
---Now for the real stinker: Bryan Adams and Bryan Clark made their first and last WWF match together as they challenged the WCW Tag Team champs (who were actually WWF talent). Taker and Kane worked so hard to make Adams and Clark look good, but Kronik no-sold just about everything thrown at them. The match was kept to a nice pace, but this match was so badly performed that you'll just stare in disbelief. I still recommend the match because it's so unbelievably terrible that it's good for a laugh.
"2.0 / 10" (but still worth seeing for some gut-busting laughs!)

5) WWF Hardcore Championship
Chris Jericho v. Rob Van Dam (champion)
---Now for some genuinely good news: this is my personal favorite Match from 2001! What a fantastic match! Mat wrestling skirmishes, ladders, chairs, and plenty of high-spots. One of the best matches that Y2J and RVD have put on in their careers! If you've seen RVD's ONE OF A KIND 2-disc set, than you've witnessed three incredible WWE matches. Well guess what? I still think this one is better than all of them. I can't wait to pop in my DVD again, just to see this!
"9.5 / 10"
_______________________________________________

6) 2-on-1 Handicap Match - WCW Championship
Shane McMahon (WCW Owner) & Booker T v. The Rock (champion)
---I didn't expect much out of this one, but it was a much better Handicap Match than I expected. What happened in this match was fairly 'believeable' - Shane and Booker kept an advantage, but The Rock kept the fight going. Plus, there was a nice tease with Shane possibly walking out with the belt instead of the crazed Booker T. With some Alliance and WWF interference thrown in, this was a pleasant surprise. It still holds up after a couple viewings. If you liked the SUMMERSLAM main event between Booker & Rock, then I think you'll enjoy this just as much.
"7.0 / 10"
_______________________________________________

7) WCW United States Championship
Rhyno v. Tajiri (champion)
---Why do so many WWF superstars have WCW belts, and vice versa? Never mind. This match was very good, but way too short. I don't remember how this one got booked, and the PPV doesn't do a good job of reminding me. If given even as much as 5 more minutes, this random contest would've become even better.
"6.0 / 10"
_______________________________________________

8) WWF Championship
Kurt Angle v. 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin (champion)
---In the main event, hometown hero Kurt Angle got another crack at Austin's WWF Championship, since Angle got screwed out of the title at SUMMERSLAM 2001. Once again, they both put on a solid match. Good psychology, plus a nice touch to have Angle's family at ringside (though they should never do interviews again). In my opinion, the other Angle-Austin encounters from 2001 were much better than this one. Angle's never-say-due performance from SUMMERSLAM was breathtaking, but this time, it felt more obligatory. But I'm nitpicking -- Angle and Austin didn't disappoint me. Whether you love it or just like it, this main event will be worth your time and money.
"7.0 / 10"
_______________________________________________

There are no extras on this DVD, which is very unfortunate because this was my favorite PPV of 2001. But the card on UNFORGIVEN 2001 is more than worth the purchase! Considering most sellers are only asking about 10 bucks for this DVD, I definitely recommend it to even the most casual wrestling fan - there's something for everybody!

4.0 out of 5 stars Unforgiven 2001 is a 4 star ppv, June 11, 2006

By 

alex fryling "youngfry" (erie pa) - See all my reviews

This review is from: WWF: Unforgiven 2001 (DVD)

80-76%-perfect
75-71%-awsome
70-66%-good
65-61%-poor
60-56%-awful

1. Big Show and spike dudley vs. The hardys vs. lance staorm and the hurriacan vs. The dudleys 4 courners elemination match for the wwe tag team titles- This was a great way to kick off the ppv. The first 5 minutes or so the match was your normal tag match. After that the match picked up very quick and 2 teams were elemintated in the next 2 minutes. Came down to the hardys and dudleys and again they put on a good match with alot of near falls and excitment. Winners and still wwe tag team champs the dudleys. Match rating 7.5/10.

2. Parry Satturn vs. Raven- This was a horriable match. Stupied storyline that was revolved around a mop it was so bad. It was okay wrestling wise but u could tell that the crowd was not into thi and could care less. Just a filler watch it once skip it the rest. Winner parry saturn. Match Rating 2.5/10.

3. Christian vs. Edge for the itc title- I really enjoyed this match. Told a great storyline and even though they had to break up they had some great singles match together. This started out with some fast paced action with christian getting railed into a bunch of steel barrels. It slowed down with christian taking control. From there it was all fast paced action christian nailing a spear and edge kicking out and alot of near falls. A awsome ending becuase i did not think christian was going to win. Winner and new wwe itc champ christian. Match Rating 8.5/10.

4. Kronick vs. Undertaker and kane for the wcw tag team titles- This was a decent match with alot of big man action in it. Kronick was like taker and kane in wcw and it was decent becuase not one team cotrolled the hole match. For there ppv debut they did not do that bad. Could have been better but i do not expect alot from a big man match. Winner and still wwe tag team champs undertaker and kane. Match Rating 7/10.

5. Y2J vs. Rvd for the hardcore title- This was match of the night up to this point. I think that it was not as hardcore as everypne was expecting it to be. Only two items were used in this match and that was a ladder and a chair. There were some nice spots with bothe of them thorughout the match. Alot of just wrestling to start the match and than brought in the items. Good match. WInner and still wwe hardcore champ RVD. Match Rating 8.5/10.

6. Booker T and Shane McMahon vs. The rock in a handicap match for the wcw title- This was also a very good match. This was a rematch from summmerslam except it had shane mcmahon in the match. VEry good match but alot of it was controlled by booker and shane with solid wrestling. A run in happened with test and bradshaw were test almost cost the rock the title. So many back and forth near falls that this is a match that everyone will love to watch. Winner and still wcw champ the rock. Match Rating 9/10.

7. Rhyno vs. Tajiri for the us title- This was a filler to cool the crowd down after that match. it did its jobbut at the same time was a decent match. Not a match that anyone is going to rember and almost is like rhyno squashed tajiri. Winner and new wcw us champ rhyno. Match rating 5/10.

8. Kurt Angle vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin for the wwe title- What a main event. They had a match eariler last month which was oof the chin which should have been here in pittsburgh. A very good macth but not as good as i was hoping for. Alot of action from the begining were austin gets throughn off the stage. Action does not slow down but austin does work alot on the neck. Late in the match autsin and angle hit there finshers and both men kick out. Austin hits a piledriver but angle kicks out. A awsome ending to an awsome night a good celebration afterward. Winner and new wwe champ kurt angle. Match rating 8.5/10.

Well that rpas up another. I would give unforgiven 2001 a grade of 56.5/80 which is a 71% which means this is an awsome ppv. That is a good ending for it. U should get this dvd becuse there is really only one bad match on it and the rest are decent if not really good. If u can tell me if my review was helpful or not i would appreicate that. Thanks for your time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Unforgiven 2001, July 9, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: WWF: Unforgiven 2001 (DVD)

Although not as good as Summerslam the month before, Unforgiven was a good ppv.(But it WWE had a ppv like this in theese days it would be ppv of the year.) Anyways, on to the matches.

1. WWE Tag Team Champiosnship: Dudleyz vs Hardyz vs Big Show and Spike vs Lance Storm and Hurricane: Solid opener. kinda upset how Jeff Hardy wasn't in singles competition again because at Invasion and Summerslam he had two 10/10 matches with RVD. Anyways, Big Show teases a splash, and it really picks up when it gets down to the Dudleyz and the Hardyz. 9/10

2. Raven (with Terri) vs Perry Saturn: Terrible. Im very upset with how the WWE used Raven, because Raven is a World title caliber superstar. It was the luckiest day of his life when he got fired by WWE, because he went straight to TNA and in less then two years had a huge collection of great matches and a World title. Anyways, sucked. (But Terri is so damn hot.) 2/10

3. IC Championship: Edge vs Christian: Pretty good match. This was when Edge still wasnt an @$$hole that cheats on his wife with his best friends girlfriend. (Matt/Lita/Edge) Anyways, good match but not was good as their No Mercy match, and kinda dumb ending, with Christian driving a chair into Edges leg for the three count. 8/10

4. WCW Tag Team Championship: Undertaker and Kane vs Kronik Belive it or not I looked forward to this one, because a year earlier in WCW Kronik was like how the Undertaker and Kane were at this point, so the bad boys of WCW vs the bad boys of WWE. Pretty good bg man match, but pretty slow as well. 7/10

5. Hardcore Championship: Rob Van Dam vs Chris Jericho: Kinda like Van Dam vs Hardy from Invasion, because the fiorst time I watched it, I thought 'That's it!?! Everyone said this was such a goods match!' But then it grew on me to the point where I watch it over and over. Chairs, a Ladder, Garbage Cans, Fire Extinguishers ext. RVD wins. 9.5/10

6. WCW Championship: The Rock vs Booker T and Shane McMahon: This was another intresting feud because in WCW in 2000 Booker T was the biggest Rock ripoff EVER! He used The Rock Bottom or the "Book End" and he would even be known on occasions as the peoples champion! Anyways a pretty good match, better then expected. Damn Nick Patrick tries to screw The Rock. So does Test but Bradshaw gets rid of him. Rocky wins. 9/10

7. US Championship: Tajiri vs Rhyno: Sooooo glad they ended Tajiri's stupid reign and gave it to somebody deserving in Rhyno. Tajiri should never go past the Cruiserweight/Lightheacvyweight division. Rhyno, along with Raven, a former ECW superstar held back to a jobber by WWE. At least he gets the US title here. (Briefly however) Not very good. 6/10

8. WWE Championship: Stone Cold vs Kurt Angle: The ending of this match shouldve been at Summerslam, cause that match was better. Guess they wanted to save it for Angles hometown. Pretty good match and Kurt makes Austin tap. (So stu[id that Austin won the belt back just 8 days later.) Anyways awesome ending with Kurts family. 9/10
